One big happy family.
  • I've run Zorin for about a year for my 13yo's gaming machine. Most games are through Steam w/ Proton, and almost nothing has been impossible to run. (Except Roblox so f Roblox I guess)

  • Scientist cited in push to oust Harvard’s Claudine Gay has links to eugenicists
  • You are technically correct, but the practical thing to do is abandon the term when it's not forced/tragic. No reason to rehabilitate the term.

    And a fun but important fact is that genetic and heritable diseases are not necessarily the same. I went too long as a clinician conflating the two: https://www.veritasint.com/blog/en/difference-between-genetic-and-hereditary-diseases/ (corporate link but correct and well written)

  • The transphobia stops now
  • I'm not part of that community either. I'm truly amazed at the number of indignant comments like yours, which demonstrate that you took the post as addressed to you. It obviously wasn't. It was explicitly addressed to posters on 196. I'd recommend being less self-centered, but if you disagree, I'm sure that community would be happy to see you go.

  • The transphobia stops now
  • This is the weirdest complaint. The post showed up in your popular/active feed because it got popular/active. It wasn't targeted to you, and the poster was not addressing you. The post was clearly addressed to users who post on /c/196.

    Being annoyed at how the service works is not a good reason to be combative with the poster, and it certainly isn't a good reason to share your opinions about trans folk being a problem when they get aggressive. Not adding up.

  • Cory Doctorow: Platform capitalism and the curse of "enshittification" – Future Tense – Podcast
  • Cory Doctorow bookends my use of reddit. About 20 years ago I started to read him at boingboing, where I learned about del.icio.us (he had an obsession with "folksonomy", or organization by user-created tags), the social bookmarking site. From there I learned of reddit and made an account soon after that was possible (it was just the frontpage for a bit). That was 5 Nov 2005, and while I thought I would stay until or after my account was old enough to vote in the US, I've let it go. I was user #497, same username as here. Finally, Cory D's concept of enshittification has found it's apotheosis, and it's a bittersweet goodbye for me.

    Thanks for reading. Keep it human.

  • Thoughts on Pacers roster moves

    Just wanted to know what people think about the new Pacers roster and how it might do in the East in the coming season and afterward. We don't normally see a lot of Pacers discussion, but I think the moves recently have been interesting, if not inspired.

    What do you think?
