Has Elon Musk made any sexist remarks?
  • please do.

    edit: before people misinterpret. The reason I'm posting now is because people misinterpreted my intent in previous discussions. In retrospect, this is most likely caused by the "style in which I phrased my comments", which (apparently) resemble the style of trolls: trying to conceal malicious intent by asking dumb questions. This ended in a train wreck. So I wanted to start with a clean plate so people do not get the wrong idea.

  • I haven't yet looked at them all but some of these are so retarded that I question your sincerity or sanity. E.g. How is saying "definitely attacked misleading journalism like yours though" considered sexist? This is beyond retarded.

  • I said I "wholeheartedly agree" with "it being on me" that I haven't seen something. Obviously. How can it not? Is it on you? No. You're being so incredibly stupid and prejudiced that it's hard to fathom. Now fuck off, you're right about wasting metabolism

  • im not really interested in claims by others about him. If he's so misogynistic, I'm sure he made these remarks himself, too. (And FYI, I specifically asked for remarks he made himself, not claims about him.) I was just asking because I haven't seen any, which is quite normal when it's about other topics. But I guess when it comes to these ones, it's considered being a troll. Think whatever you think but that doesn't hold water. Especially nowadays everyone is spewing a lot of bs, so it's only natural to be skeptic then as well.

  • right, all fair. But nowadays everybody is spewing up nonsense, so it's only natural to stop and ask why/how. Sure, I could search the web, but I'm talking about the principle. If spewing shit is okay, then questioning it should also be okay, obviously.

  • Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges
  • yes I had a feeling actually. But jesus fuck that is depressing, how else should one phrase it then? I try hard to think people are not dumber than decades ago, but it's seriously hard to keep on believing that sometimes. Now I have to jump through hoops just in order to be perceived as neutral? I'm out.

  • and rather than you specifically talking about an example that I misinterpreted, you say I "deny evidence". Why won't you mention something specific that I missed or misinterpreted (in article).

    But again, back to what you said about me "asking a stupid question" how in the actual fuck does this work? Who is setting up "bad faith" ? The one asking a question? Omfg

  • The fact that you keep insisting that you haven’t seen evidence of him being queerphobe is on you at this point

    I wholeheartedly agree, it's just that I haven't seen it, and that doesn't mean he is NOT queerphobic. I was simply asking questions. If you don't like that, what can I do about that?

  • Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges
  • idk man, in the article I find what he said is:

    -The "sexist joke" by saying "TITS" is just a dumb joke, not "misogynistic".

    -The "Pronouns suck" comment, is weird and just vague, and not necessarily queerphobic. Maybe he just doesn't like changing the standard language much. It doesn't necessarily say he will purposely use the wrong pronoun on people, in practice. Too vague to work with.

    -Calling Warren "Karren Warren" and saying "You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend’s angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason". I guess maybe this can be considered misogynistic, but I'd by far attribute this to just "being rude", because he just insults her for her actions. Just because this insult is a comparison to another woman that acted hysterically, does not make it misogynistic. Yes, the "Karen" is generally a sex-specific insult, but again, this can also be taken as just a personal attack, which in this case it is.

    Yeah sure there could be more examples, but going from the link you posted, there is barely anything to call him misogynistic, let alone queerphobic. I don't care who he is, I'd have said this to anyone who said these things.

  • Am I ruining my liver?

    I often take painkillers (acetaminophen aka paracetamol), but I've noticed that it's much more effective if I take them TOGETHER with my ADHD medication (ritalin aka methylphenidate) + my morning coffee. If I don't take them AT the same time, the painkiller is far less effective.

    I do not exceed the maximum dosage of painkiller (1gram per intake, mornings), but alone this would barely suffice to kill my morning headache.

    My hypothesis is that since the LIVER has to convert all three, I am effectively overdosing on either substance (painkiller or ADHD meds), and damaging my liver in the process.

    how come there is no "appearance" button on the English wikipedia?

    The "appearance" button seen on Dutch wikipedia is able to change the SIZE of the font (text) and the width of the article. This is extremely nice to have, but it's not there on any English article...

    Why are only SOME communities inaccessible on lemmy.world?

    I can access c/world on lemmy.world without problem:

    lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/world@lemmy.world

    But I cannot access c/whatstheword:

    lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/whatstheword@lemmy.world

    It seems unlikely that this specific and innocent community is blocked on either instance.

    What's going on here?

    Should I use Windows built-in shrink feature to move partition space to another partition?

    I have dual boot Win10 and Linux (manjaro), and I want to shrink my NTFS C:\ partition to free up space in my ext4 root partition on the same physical drive.

    I keep reading online that NTFS partitioning is best handled by Windows itself. However, Windows cannot partition ext4, so I thought I'd use a live GParted session for the ext4 extending part only.

    So why not shrink my C:\ partition IN WINDOWS, obtain my unallocated space, then boot into live GParted, and use the unallocated space to extend my ext4 root.

    This, or do everything from GParted in one go? What has the best chance of success?

    I could also install GParted on my running Linux distro, and do the extending from there. But I feel like GParted live would somehow be... better?

    Am I completely fucked or is this fixable?

    I don't care what's it gonna take. I just want a connection. I guess I can connect the VCC to another voltage source, but I have the same thing happened to TX on another circuit board, although that one can "flip" (it is still attached marginally... at one end).

    Board: T Deck Lilygo.

    automatically signed out after some time

    This site logs me out every few [hours/days] after leaving the site. It's as if the cookies get deleted, but they're not.

    Is this intentional? Do other people also experience this?

    Login screen not registering a second identical character in a row

    I am on Manjaro GNOME 45.4 (x11) and after some recent update, I am unable to type for example: aa, or 77, or ANY two identical characters in a row, so it only registers the first: a, 7, etc.

    If I press the right arrow key, I am able to type another (identical) character, after which I'd have to repeat it again and again if I want all consecutive characters: e.g. aaaa.

    Note: this only happens at the login screen, not lock screen or anywhere else.

    Is this on purpose? Some security feature? This has to be the dumbest security feature I can image, especially since it doesn't tell you that it's skipping the character (which is not obvious if you type fast), and it also does let you HAVE a password of identical consecutive characters.

    I only found this forum post about it:

    how to view a post from another instance, in this instance?

    It seems I am unable to view this post https://lemmy.world/post/10613192

    on this instance lemmy.dbzer0.com, even though lemmy.world is not deferated.

    How is this possible? I tried injecting the /post/10613192 into the URL: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/10613192 but this page does not exist

    Manjaro GNOME immediately logs out after logging in (via GUI)

    EDIT: I kinda solved it by installing Wayland (with Nvidia card, Ouch!) to replace Xorg. Not sure if this is gonna last though. Perhaps Manjaro is the one I'm gonna throw out FIRST if anything happens from now on. ---------

    What should be the first line of defense? Timeshift?

    This happened after I installed AUR package masterpdfeditor and 2 applications from github (some hashing algorithm programs, I think they were "Dilithium" and "Latice-based-cryptography-main", one of them was provided by NIST.)

    If using GUI: I login, black screen for few seconds, then back at login screen.

    If going to ctrl+alt+f2, login successful, then startx, see picture provided (higher quality).

    I tried adding a new user, but result is the same.

    I have a live usb to do the Timeshift. (I can also chroot if necessary... But I'm not extremely professional)

    is it possible with Streamio to stream to WAN?

    What else is the "remote HTTPS connection"? Is it possible to stream my stream OUTWARDS to WAN? (With port forwading) So I can just give friends a link to stream from my stream? Easy peasy? Would be super handy

    Under what SPECIFIC feature (in e.g. Firefox and Chrome) is this automatic obfuscation implemented when printing a PDF? And how to remove it from the file?

    I think some banks utilize some feature built in PDF Readers to PREVENT printing of "SENSITIVE" information in a PDF, by blocking parts with black bars.

    The issue does not appear when printing using other software, like Adobe Reader or Microsoft Edge, to print the PDF. But it DOES occur with Firefox and Chrome. So it's not a driver issue.

    Is this a form of DRM? I want to know how it works whatever is causing it, and be able to REMOVE it from the PDF itself completely.

    Why does Firefox obey this "DRM" crap, while Edge has the balls to ignore it?

    And to make things even more complicated, I am able to print the PDF fine on another computer, using the exact same OS, browser, and printer. So it appears to be a specific setting or version of .e.g Firefox?

    If only I had NAME for this, then I'd be able to search for it online.

    What site can scan sites for trackers?

    I once knew a site that could detect and list ALL the used trackers and cross-site cookies and other stuff of any site.

    You just had to input the site name and it scanned it for you.

    Now I can't find it. No site can actually list the trackers for me to examine.
