If you walked by some strangers having a conversation with each other out in public and one of them said something you didn’t understand, would you go running up to them saying “please don’t talk to each other without explaining everything to me, I think you’re making stuff up because I don’t have all the context”?
(You would not.)
If you have something to ask OP, ask it. Politely. Don’t come in to somebody else’s conversation demanding context and calling them a liar.
Oh man. All the real boys / in their black jeans / called me crazy.
You saw another reference to girlyman? There was a period a decade ago when I played their music constantly and went to every show I could.)
My vibe is that the Guardian UK still thinks it's a left wing feminist stance to be transphobic ^1^, and unrelatedly, the Collins articles keep getting printed because everyone involved
the Collinses, their PR people, the Guardian -- know perfectly well what ragebait is. A click is a click.
1: Somehow. What the hell is in the water in the UK? ^2^
I'm not sure they have theory of mind, TBH.
Honestly any day the Guardian isn't publishing transphobia wearing a feminism mask is a good day for them.
My Windows machines have all been skinned to work like XP for 20 years, and sometimes I have to use other people's computers and I don't even understand how they get anything done. My start menu is predictable and the items in it are in the same place and with the same keystrokes every day. There's no ads in it. It doesn't tell me the weather or the sports scores when I don't ask for them. My taskbar shows me the names of all the windows I have open. This should all be normal.
The whole debacle astounds me. Is there a more universally privileged application users frequently use than the shell? As a general rule it can elevate privs to full control far more aggressively than any other commonly used application, with minimal sandboxing at most.
I got no Spotify, and I buy a lot off bandcamp.
I asked a RH friend about this and they told me that they just had a breathless all hands about it.
As someone who did come to love a lot of microsoft products despite the way I felt about them in the 90’s, their slow slide into whatever they are now makes me hate them more, not less. Microsoft genuinely spent a lot of the oughts making genuinely good general purpose stuff, and they absolutely dominated at accessibility for 20 years. So when people simp for them as they destroy everything I found great about their products, instead of holding them to account, it’s awful.
Guess who bought the dictation software I rely on for everything I do and then basically abandoned the useful consumer product and is now sticking gippity-4 into it? Stick it in GitHub, stick it in Windows, add it to your complete breakfast, wear it on your head.
Also, I was perfectly able to figure out you meant Austria just by searching Child Corporate Punishment Laws on wikipedia for the string "1977".
