  • Where? And don't tell me to look up or read again because I recounted the conversation as I understood it already and went over with you that you're not being clear, so if you're acting in good faith tell me where?

  • Have you read the translation of the writing on the edges of that? It's already lewd, and I wasn't expecting it to be less lewd or anything, but it was so much lmao.

  • This was your explanation.

    Well im talking about external interpretation of ones identity rather than one's intended expression, so you figure it out. Or don't.

    I'm good faith, I assumed the best by saying this.

    I'd say that's supportive of femme leaning enbies rather than transphobic towards trans women.

    Rather than agree with me, you said this and refused to elaborate, going so far as to tell me to interpret as I like. When I only have two possible interpretations, one positive and one negative, I don't know what else you'd want me take away other than the negative.

    There are other things it could be. Interperet as you like.

    So I clarified, in good faith, it you meant the negative thing.

    Wait, so you are being transphobic?

    You were vague and refused to give any explanation. I thought it might be two things. When I asked if it was one of them, your response seems to heavily imply it wasn't that one, but refuse to give whatever third thing it might be.

    That was one of the things you proposed. Im suggesting there are other potential meanings, that you did not propose. i will not be explaining what i do mean any farther than i have

    So... What is it? Because you're saying that I am "not making an effort to understand" when I am in fact bending over backwards to give you benefit of the doubt and understand what you mean. You say communication has two sides and you're done trying to uphold mine when I am desperately seeking clarification on what you said but you just refuse to provide it.

    I'm just about done with this fucking place and im done going out of my way to explain myself to people who arent making any effort to understand. Communication has two sides, i cannot hold up yours

    What have I missed?

  • It's not supposed to be anything. There is no correct answer. The ambiguity is the point.

  • And I find it racist of you to assume that a minority is somehow incapable of passing an exam.

    I'm begging you to please read this Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_test

    Between the 1850s and 1960s, literacy tests were used as an effective tool for disenfranchising African Americans in the Southern United States. Literacy tests were typically administered by white clerks who could pass or fail a person at their discretion based on race. Illiterate whites were often permitted to vote without taking these literacy tests because of grandfather clauses written into legislation.

    Other countries, notably Australia, as part of its White Australia policy, and South Africa adopted literacy tests either to exclude certain racialized groups from voting or to prevent them from immigrating to the country.

  • I'll keep streaming and just eat less popcorn. I've been needing to cut back. I blow a kiss to the sky. I got your back, Mother Earth. I always check the resin identification codes before I recycle plastics, too.

  • It's so so frustrating. AI is cool, I get it, LLMs are impressive, but we're in such a bubble right now. Every company is like "damn, that other company is doing a cool thing with AI, we need to make sure our shareholders think we're doing cool things with AI too!" So they make flashy AI things and it feeds back into the cycle because obviously other companies and their shareholders see it, because these companies are publicly traded.

  • The devices they're talking about are also still turned on. The power usage of the network requests is incredibly small. Switching from cellular to wifi will make the biggest difference, but who the hell isn't already on their home wifi network? Plus, at least me personally, I have my liked songs downloaded on Spotify to save data usage. I suspect others may as well.

    This is like the folks worrying about the water usage of AI. Environmental concerns are a real problem and there are tons of things to focus on, but they pick such a weirdly specific, negligible, non-issue.

  • Thank you! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills reading people's reactions to this. And if it was a business instead of your house and it was customer data you weren't protecting you should still be in trouble too. It's like people think only one side can be in the wrong in this or that because the data wasn't secured and in the public that gives them free reign to post it everywhere. I wonder how those people would feel if their addresses were leaked. Afterall, if you're a homeowner your name is attached to the property and is publicly accessible.

  • No need to be condescending. The current laws about hacking in America are actually much more strict than they should be and can be used to punish people who actually do just stumble on things they shouldn't have access to as well as people who are ethical whistle blowers. So no, it seems you don't "how laws work."

    But I don't believe those laws should be used to go after people who make mistakes or report problems in good faith. These folks didn't make an innocent mistake and weren't acting in good faith.
