  Hehe, yeah it does take a while. In all seriousness nice setup, it’s pretty.

  No gentoo representation? For shame. 😜

  Probably should ‘acquire’ this one if you don’t want to give money to a misogynist who is problematic in other ways too: Falling Out of Love with Jackie Chan

  Based on the title alone: Unless it’s about a genderfluid or bigender person they really are running out of ideas, aren’t they?

  You’re welcome! 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-acknowlegements⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you. We try!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-acknowlegements⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah. We had to do that kind of too, so we decided to type it all up. Opened up a notepad like program and wrote every single thing in the image, then went back to check for mistakes we made. We missed a few but the browser’s spell checker picked them up thankfully 🙂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-acknowlegements⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, uh, why?

  For anybody having difficulty reading the text:

  Anti Acknowledgements

  There have unfortunately also been people who have been less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, because I know I am not unique in this experience.

  No thank you to the physics study association that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a 'stripper name' within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of "computer girl". No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to 'apologise' months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so "no hard feelings remain hopefully". And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was "surprising" that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with "you should consider it". No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists "don't know how to design an experiment". No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the executive board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up to a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted.
  
  I wish I could tell you this has all made me stronger somehow but in reality it has only shattered my confidence. You have made me feel like I do not belong in science and I cannot forgive you for that.

  Also, she’s very ableist in that she is against autistic people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Acorns!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Part of the problem is the lack of tools/functionality. Lemmy doesn’t allow for hiding images without the NSFW tag. It could/should function a lot more like mastodon in some ways in our opinion, allowing both the user to hide all images in their settings and having more specific CWs that could hide even the post image behind.

  Sure, we are happy to help!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wobble Wobble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a riff on the face eating leopards party joke/meme/satire/sarcasm that goes something like “I can’t believe they ate our faces” says person who voted for the face eating leopards party. It basically means (in the original), you get what you vote for and shouldn’t be surprised when it happens.

  We aren’t human as stated in our profile. But thanks for trying •:::)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  None of us are a guy, thank you though. We appreciate it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not really, apologies we came off that way.

  We just haven’t seen them where we live, online or offline, though we would really like to.

  Thank you, hope you have a great week!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That assumes we are in the US, whomp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck finding them though, we’ve never found a place either offline or online that sells them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sorry to be a bother...⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, no, people defeintely don’t agree on that for all people, and yes it can be a choice. Why does it matter if it is a choice? People should be allowed to choose if they are those that can choose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sorry to be a bother...⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, okay, thanks for explaining to us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sorry to be a bother...⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this supposed to be indicating a problem because like if you like a person why should it matter what gender they are?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨biodegradable⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We didn’t find anything about Nirtrile and protection. Could you clarify?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨biodegradable⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, however, it’s the other chemicals they mix it with that make it not biodegradable. Thankfully there are some companies not using those chemicals now which is lovely.

  Also, for those who are allergic to latex, unfortunatley the only option is polyurethene which is plastic, and as such not at all biodegradable.

  Too bad a lot of it is using LLM/Machine Learning instead of actual work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should you have to pay for online privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, we think we should but in the sense that we should put more money into non venture capitalist, non shareholder, non-commercial, open source sites and services etc, and forgo the commercial sites and services that think they need to erode our privacy in the first place.
