Because most people don’t actually know any trans people, and find unfamiliar things to be weird and scary.

But also because terrible people have weaponized those feelings for personal political gain. Most people probably wouldn’t give a fuck, even if they found them weird, if talking heads weren’t stoking the flames of bigotry.

That is a horrible abuse of the term “arcade shooter”

It is slightly the fault of the email clients for the sender that often don’t show BCC by default. It probably would be reasonable for email clients to put a warning up if people are sending to a large number of people without using BCC.

The solution is if you’re sending a mass email that shouldn’t be replied to you use BCC. So it’s really the sender’s fault

Outlook does give a warning now if you’re sending to a distro list

When I recently upgraded my phone I was surprised how little got brought over automatically and how hard it was to migrate configurations. If it actually copies over all my preferences from old phone to new phone, then great. If it’s just logins then that’s not really useful.

I guess we’ll see.

I’ve found out from Facebook before. But sometimes you don’t find out until years after the facts.

Obituaries exist too.

What is your goal in not owning a smartphone?

Exercise matters for your mental health, not just looking good or longevity.

Which does not reflect my experience in the working world at all.

As creatures that enjoy killing things, it can be hard to distinguish what they love and what they hate.

Empirically, Final Fantasy 14. Also my only 1000 hour game since games services started logging playtimes in a more durable way. Only other games I can think that might have touched that time are Diablo II and UT99, but both of those playtimes are lost to the sands of time.

Gonna be honest, income inequality is awful in America, but this post feels more like sour grapes.

Out of curiosity are any similar products actually good? My company uses Webex and frankly I’d rather use teams.

I posted a thing from 8 bit theater and it got a lot of upvoted. Definitely old people.

I think they call them devops now.

Even if trump doesn’t do everything in project 2025, the supreme court picks mean we’re basically ultra fucked. Like, that’s best case.

Which doesn’t matter anyway because he hasn’t been sentenced.

It’s just a completely different use case. It may or may not continue to exist on its own but it will never replace twitter because it does not have the core thing that makes twitter special among social media (the fact that it is essentially “public”). “A bunch of small communities of nerds talking about niche topics” is something you can find friggin anywhere on the internet.

Honestly I find it a little weird that Lemmy is so pro-Mastodon. Like a lot of people when the twitter implosion started I went and parked a username on a few potential replacements. And like a lot of people, when I saw that mastodon was all little specific instances, I didn’t bother because the whole point of twitter is that it’s a big public thing with everybody and everything. I haven’t really seen anybody outside of Lemmy mention mastodon in months. Everyone is going to bluesky.
