  • Dave Chappelle says his trans jokes 'went down well' at Saudi Arabia gig

    Jump

  • I’ve only watched his Netflix specials

    So, you've heard him openly identify as a TERF?

    But if the jokes in his comedy specials are the cause of the internet hate against him then I’m gonna have to continue to disagree with that sentiment.

    "Jokes"

    Anyway, it's clear that your mind is set. To you, he's not transphobic, because the times when he is transphobic don't count, and no matter what transphobia of his you encounter in the future, you will find a reason for it not to count as well.

    He is a transphobe. You are defending him. End of story

  • He is explicitly, openly and blatantly transphobic. There is no maybe about it. There is no ambiguity.

  • What wisdom from someone else has stuck with you?

  • To be clear, I've always been progressive. I was never overtly racist in the way so many of my peers were growing up. But their overt racism impacted me and filled me with assumptions and unchallenged beliefs that it took years to identify and challenge.

    I was born in Moree (the destination of the Freedom Ride (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Ride_(Australia)), and racism still shapes the town today. I don't think it would be possible to grow up in that town without being shaped by racism in some way.

  • I grew up in a racist town, and was indoctrinated on racism in my youth. It never sat right with me, but even so, I still struggled with racist thoughts that would jump in to my head when I encountered indigenous folk.

    Someone said to me though that it's not the first thought that jumps in to your head that matters, because that's what you've been trained to think. What matters is what you do after that thought has appeared.

    And that's stuck with me. It helped me be aware of the impact of indoctrinated hate, whilst also not getting tied up with guilt over my inability to completely purge myself of the indoctrinated bullshit.

    It allowed me to retrain myself, and to make sure the shit I was raised with doesn't get passed on to my own kid.

    What is a Passkey? - Computerphile

    Jump

  • Yep. I use them because my password manager handles cross device passkeys. If I had to set passkeys up on every single device I use, per device per web service, I don't think I'd bother with them...

  • Not so much.

    Sex and gender are distinct elements. So whilst they're not the same thing, they do interact with each other and influence each other to some extent or another. If they didn't, then the world wouldn't be full of people whose gender and sex are in alignment. For that matter, if they didn't, we wouldn't even understand the concept of sex and gender being in alignment.

    Also, "transgenderism" is a term popular with transphobes, because it frames trans people as a belief/ideology, rather than acknowledging their identity.

    no non-sapient creature can ever be trans, because you need consciousness to have a gender identity in the first place.

    But for all of that, strictly speaking, this is true.

  • Were it a "curious, socratic style question" you wouldn't have framed your question with loaded terminology designed to make trans people sound unreasonable and fake.

  • Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

    Jump

  • It's chromium based now, and as bad as firefox's direction is, I don't really want to hand google based engines an even bigger portion of the internet.

  • What is your choice for a dedicated Linux audio player?

    Jump

  • Feishin. It's a navidrome/jellyfin player.

    I love it, because it has smart playlists that are actually smart! It lets me create "random" playlists from my music collection, in a way that works for me.

  • Another problem is that cosmic expansion affects the wire itself.

    Not if its mithril :P
