@SuperDicq Wow so somehow the Guix community became even worse since I left. That's actually impressive. -

@SuperDicq Did I misunderstand? I thought Guix refused commits adding Hyprland? I agree with you that it's dumb. -

Interesting article about sex differences in gene expression, affecting the brain:
https://theconversation.com/hundreds-of-genes-act-differently-in-the-brains-of-men-and-women-266352
Long story short: We have no idea what any of it really signifies.
It neither validates nor invalidates gender stereotypes, nor reveals anything about gender identity, or anything along those lines.
I bet all sides of the gender debate will find a way to interpret this as vindicating their own opinions though, lol. -

@light @realcaseyrollins @realcaseyrollins
It's actually a common part of the discourse in modern feminism to say "tell men not to rape, instead of telling women to avoid rape" and this is obviously a sarcastic joke in that vein. They must have hired a "cool gen Z feminist" or so who made this for them.
What surprises me is that, from what I know, the Philippines has a very corrupt government and a very conservative Catholic culture, so it's strange seeing their government put out something like this. I would have expected a publication like this from something like the Labour party for example, but not from the corrupt government of a southeast Asian country that is also deeply Catholic.
I probably just don't get Philippine culture and only have the political cliches from the west that are familiar to me as a frame of reference. Could see if people in r/Philippines have anything to say on this but they often seem to be communicating in Filipino there. -

@realcaseyrollins @light @realcaseyrollins
That may be part of it. Could also be the case that their government does a lot of "woke-washing" i.e. support trendy liberal identity politics to seem nice, while continuing their corrupt dynasty.
My girlfriend is from a somewhat traditional family in a small rural town and goes to church on Sundays, yet she apparently loves the gays and has trans friends. It's interesting seeing such a combination. She's not at all into politics, and I'm just glad she's not homophobic or into "tradcon" ideology. Haven't asked her if she thinks "trans women are (literally) women" because I think to most normies that's just a weird topic that they don't think much about. -

@Inginsub Oh god, that is such a cringe thing to say. And I bet properly written Clojure code would have been able to hit 60 FPS reliably. I guess the author just has no idea what FPS is actually considered good nowadays lol. I actually agree with the overall sentiment, i.e. people are too obsessed with the inherent performance characteristics of programming languages, not realizing that it's usually irrelevant. -

@light @r000t True, and I definitely hate Poast more than Reddit by at least one order of magnitude. :blobcat-joy: On the other hand, Reddit is probably like 1000x the size of Poast, so one could argue that they have more responsibility. -

I really love it how Stallman's comment stands out here from all the others:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43HHR_CAp1U
Everyone else throwing unhinged ad-hom insults at Lunduke, while Stallman just says:
> Negative in the Freedom dimension
God I love him so much. :blobcat-joy:
And apparently he's said it directly to Lunduke, by coming on his show. Not in this hateful, speaking behind someone's back trying to cancel them kind of fashion. Which Lunduke fairly acknowledges and appreciates. -

If there was GNU / Baldur's Gate or GNU/Diablo I would indeed play them instead, but alas :blobcat-pensive2: -

This is actually so disgusting. The woman clearly has no interest in having children and is just following what others demand of her like a drone. -

Unironically BSW in Germany tho.

@lizzy @novenary @sally @EmoIsDeadAndSoAmI
Although obscure pronouns like "per" are also impractical because of the "huh?" effect (speaking from the experience of having tried to use Spivak pronouns for an entire two days or so), I gotta say singular they can lead to some incredibly confusing and ambiguous sentences, so I get why one may be reluctant to accept it.
The best example I've come across out in the wild of singular they causing a problem without the author trying to create an intentionally confusing sentence is from Baldur's Gate 3:
> Kerz lived many years as a paladin and mercenary, years which took a hard toll on them. Befriending a group of pleasant ogres, they laid down their weapon and taught a rudimentary etiquette class, before the ogres were attacked one night, and Kerz once more took up their steel.
The second and third sentences are just utter pain.
And yes, I know singular they has been in use for a long time. I use it regularly when talking about an unknown or hypothetical third person. But that's a relatively rare situation. As soon as there's a person who demands singular they to be used for them all the time, you run into troubles like in the above example from BG3. If I had to talk at length about a hypothetical third person, I'd just make up an example person like John Doe or Jane Doe and refer to him or her in the rest of my speech. -

@Suiseiseki Yes, GTK 4.8, and I think the main culprit is *drumroll* WebKit. Who would have thought. -

THIRTY TWO BILLION BYTES OF RAM and I still can't compile freaking GTK.
Started it this morning, with all other applications closed, and I come back two hours later to an unresponsive black screen.
Oh, the screen just turned on after ten minutes. Swapping like hell, I guess.
Hmm. I wonder if this may have to do with my terminal settings. What if it's using tons of RAM due to all the text being output? -

When I hold cash in my Wise account, they literally pay me for it. And I don't pay Wise anything other than some low transfer fees when actually making a transfer.
The German banks on the other hand take some money from you every month regardless of how much you use their services.
Should I transfer all my money to Wise? :blobcat-thonking: -

@prettygood I think my domain is blocked both as "pedo hunter" and as "pedo defender" by various servers. :blobcat-googly-trash:
Only one of them is true. Your next move will be to say "it's pedo defender hue hue hue."
I got that one because I said something favorable of RMS, by the way. Can't make that shit up. -

How are these deciphered? Integer stored in little-endian and then read as ASCII from low to high bytes?
Also, what the fuck? -

Nvm apparently it's just the hex version of those that spell out certain words, like 184594741 -> 0xB00B135 (BOOBIES).
This is unforgivably dumb. Most of them are just various things containing BABE.
And what does F10021E even mean?
