  • Neither are those mostly conservative white men running our respective governments, looking to leverage what you propose to their own benefit i.e. censoring their critics on the left, labeling them domestic terrorists, rather than the fascist groups we were discussing.

    Also you'll note I said public pressure - commercial brands can be a lot more responsive to bad press than political parties.

  • That's a good question to which no clear general answer can be given. What's considered male is a huge spectrum of things, both material and immaterial, varying across generations and cultures.

    But most importantly, what it means to be male is very different from what it means to be seen as male.

  • No you don't. It's extrinsic, I literally just said that.

  • I mean, sure in principle, but we know that's just as flawed if not more in its application than public pressure on companies.

    1. Whaddaya mean by "fictional" in this context?
    2. Your comment basically says that society progresses at its own steady pace, and people demanding more rights and societal progress are impatient and wasting their time. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how society evolves. It's not an automatism, it is the direct result of people raising their voices and demanding rights. There is no progress without these efforts. So yes, their demands are currently unachievable - by definition. It's not a bug, it's not a mistake, it's a necessity.

  • Organizing for ethnic cleansing is neither speech nor an opinion, it's domestic terrorism in the literal sense.

    There is no right to plotting to destroy the fabric of society and countless people's lives, nor should there be.

  • You don't actually know that. You can identify as male, female, nonbinary, agender, genderfluid etc. all while conforming or not conforming to male or female gender stereotypes. One is intrinsic, the other extrinsic.

  • No they don't, this claim is being called out up and down this whole thread.

  • The people who internalize this would never engage with a chatbot in this way in the first place. To them this is another intelligence they're conversing with, where you get what you need by following social decorum, and enforcing your will amounts to abuse.

  • This brings up the question if it's only about size, or if e.g. dry cereal counts as "uncomfortable".

  • The point isn't to absolve people of making bad decisions, but that doesn't mean the companies whose tools provide dangerous advice in a friendly and factual manner should be without accountability.

    Consider that people in all possible situations and mental health conditions have access to these tools.

  • Huh? That's reality.

  • Yeah. Also fascists are notoriously hypocritical. Their leaders in particular don't actually believe their own propaganda, they will approve and condemn whatever is conducive to their politics and propaganda. Why would we take their horrid worldview more seriously than they do.

  • 80% of the utterly ass things that Apple pushes on people are on iPhone. iOS is a purely consumer product, while macOS has a decent chunk of the prosumer market which has a lower tolerance for enshittification.

  • If you don't know what to reply, then don't. Seek out communities, posts, and comments about stuff you enjoy talking about. Especially when it's a positive light.

  • We all know what that's code for. I have never been to the US in my life, and yet as a white European I'd be accosted much less than tens of millions of US citizens.

  • If only he was closer to his predecessors in other ways too.

  • FYI there's scripts that will fully activate windows, not via any local modifications to the OS, but via the official Microsoft activation servers.

  • I'm already looking for USB-powered devices for stuff like electric razors and flashlights. Check out Wurkkos for example.

    With toothbrushes the problem is seemingly the duopoly. If there is a good USB-chargeable alternative to Oral-B, please let me know.
