gnome + paperwm, on a laptop I found there are so many things that are a headache to configure, like battery alerts, bluetooth, wifi that it’s just a hassle for what amounts to like half an hour longer battery life

I’m gonna be candid with you this is what your comment reads like (to me):

I realize that it was a mistake to post that.

But not to think it.

The transgender topic is much more complex and more controversial than I knew at the time.

The controversy is between the oppressed and oppressors. It’s “complex” because you don’t stand in solidarity with the oppressed.

So I will refrain from commenting on it in the future.

But continue to think like that and act accordingly in silent

In any case I’m happy that there are so many transgender people on Lemmy.

Since it keeps them out of sports?

Okay the last one was a joke because it feels like such an empty phrase after the non-apology preceding it. I’ve been putting off reading this for a long time, but will pledge to do so now starting today. Join me.

From “Combat liberalism”:

To let things drift if they do not affect one personally; to say as little as possible while knowing perfectly well what is wrong, to be worldly wise and play safe and seek only to avoid blame. This is a third type [of liberalism].

Edit: Tomorrow is the anniversary of the attack on the Institute for Sexual Sciences which got famous as the nazi’s book burnings. There will not be a better time to start reading Feinberg than now.

puts out paragraphs gatekeeping trans people out
keeps making a distinction between “biological men”, “MtF” and “F”
not a transphobe though I support you

You’re a transphobe and you aren’t allowed to disagree with trans people on whats transphobic and what isn’t. I’m cis though you can disagree with me, but the fact that you are disagreeing with a trans person makes it moot.

I don’t know the exact reasoning for it, I would guess it’s because ‘.’ is also used to delimit file types “A book on the.pdf” < “A book on the pdf.pdf” or “Book.pdf” < “Book sequel.pdf”

I guess your confusion has in part to do with reading digits as numbers, but within a string they are part of an alphabet, every character stands on its own and has no relation to the characters around it. There is no difference between “5 1”, “5.1” and “511” you just pick an ordering of the alphabet and then sort each character accordingly.

Check the top: apparently “5” < “5.5” but “5 A” > “5.5 A”. It’s probably because a substring is lexicographically before the string containing it.

But when comparing 5 A with 5.5 A the second characters ' ' and '.' get compared and apparently '.' < ' '.

agree on your point though.

another one?

colden the relations with Israel

nah the dumbass was well-deserved

Do you think it’s acceptable to make olympicians first bow to the west before they can take part in games?

Should Isn’traelis first denounce the genocide before being able to contribute to the linux kernel or take part in olympic games?

The one thing that I always wanted from i3/sway is to have windows outside to the side of my screen, so that I could have

|- browser@half screen size-||- editor@half screen size -||- PDF viewer@half screen size -|

When I’m writing some math thing. Then I could just scroll to the left or to the right depending on whether I’m looking something up and writing it down, or whether I’m editing what is already written down.

Long story short: PaperWM for GNOME
