Okay, don’t search for the word “binary”. Search for the word “they”.
Yes, really.
- Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages 1 week ago:
I kinda wish that they had pointed it out, but they didn’t.
- Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages 1 week ago:
What’s the stunt? All they did was use they/them pronouns when talking about their mascot. People made the inference from there and ran with it, and y’all are too lazy to do a web search and read the announcement.

This would make life harder for me since I have this installed on my system.
- Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages 1 week ago:
It’s a terrible PR move if you don’t say anything about it. They didn’t say “Hey, look! Our mascot is non-binary!” All they did was use they/them pronouns.
- Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages 1 week ago:
It isn’t, though. They never said that the mascot was non-binary.
- Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages 1 week ago:
Well, if I was creating a mascot, and I didn’t want to think about their gender orientation… they/them pronouns are what I would use. Mozilla actually didn’t announce the mascot’s gender. People just saw they/them pronouns and made the inference from there.

I think everything labeled “plant butter” is vegan, whereas “margarine” can contain both plant and animal fats. I don’t think that’s regulated, but I think that’s how those terms are used in practice. I always check the labels just to be sure, of course.

- Comment on Quiver, ladies, quiver 2 weeks ago:
From what I understand, it’s observing, not ignoring. I suppose you could look at it as ignoring, because you aren’t really listening to it, but you also aren’t supposed to force it to be quiet, either. You’re just giving it space and not allowing it to interrupt your meditation.

Naw, you bought into an urban myth. Why would prisoners put up with such an inconvenience just to signal homosexuality? Especially when you already had signals used outside of prison like having an earring in the right ear, that system of handkerchiefs they used in the '70s, and so forth. It would be like signaling your sexual preference by walking around with your shoelaces untied.
Children in poor families often inherit clothing from siblings when they grow out of them. That pair of pants was too small on your brother, but it’s still too big on you. What was originally an inconvenience becomes fashionable because everybody in your neighborhood was doing it. This is so common that it’s caught on and now people are doing it on purpose.
Something similar happened with soul food. Enslaved people were given food that used to be thrown away. They found a way to make it taste good, and it became a cultural marker.

Thankfully I saw this before the deletion, so I can still call you out for having the reading comprehension of… well, an average Lemmy user tbh
Ooh, yeah, lookit you, you got me. Why do you think I deleted it?

The crypto thing is a half-baked idea that should’ve been abandoned a long time ago.

I’d like to hear more about #3 and #4. They seem to be a software company. Of course, that doesn’t mean that they can’t also be an advertising company (see Google).

It’s a rather silly comment. Experts get to decide how these things are defined. It would be like me saying “Personally, I consider a tree to be a type of rock, but I realize that isn’t a common opinion.”

[This is what a personality disorder is.] (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_disorder) It includes stuff like paranoia, schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder.

Yes, I dated somebody who had cluster B (antisocial, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic) which made her abusive. It was not hot and it was not cute, and it ruined our relationship (which was sad).

There’s a documentary about flat earthers called Behind the Curve where they do try to prove the earth is flat.

Maybe you should get your eyes checked, because mine tell me that the earth is curved.

I’m seriously questioning what you consider good, then. That’s the reason people call it “slop”. It’s not good.
