i’m a linux user do i look like i have sex

I do so love it when leftists who have never interacted with me beyond reading a single comment tell me what I believe

So, none of the above, but you’re still not going to vote?

1. There are two choices in the United States 2024 election. No third party stands a ghost of a chance of winning. No, not even if the 30,000 people you can reach on Lemmy all vote for Timothy Greenparty.
2. A Trump victory in 2024 would not only be just as bad if not worse for the citizens of Gaza than Harris would, but also pose an existential threat to a large number of vulnerable Americans (trans people, immigrants, women seeking abortions).
3. Given the margins of victory in 2016 and 2020, Kamala might not win if leftists don’t vote for her.
4. Snoozing fascism for four years is better than inviting it through the door now, and buys us time to build our defenses for when it comes back.

I’d like to focus my counterargument. Which of these statements do you disagree with?

What smear campaign? Here’s the lead developer of the project responding to a pull request replacing “he” with “they” in the build instructions with “This project is not an appropriate avenue to advertise your personal politics.”

but you see, only one group can be vulnerable at a time, and this time it’s women, so trans people have to be the ones we exclude and accuse of being the oppressors this time around, sorry

just looked it up – the version on steam is in fact Animal Jam: Play Wild – the 3D mobile version made in Unity for mobile devices – ported to PC

you’re–this is a joke, right?

for the uninitiated

Hold on, Animal Jam is on Steam now? I remember when that was a Flash game.

Almost like mobile operating systems that are open source so I can check for myself that they’re not spying on me exist or something.

Your future coworkers will thank you if you do not use an AI for that at all

I seem to recall Mozilla’s opposition to FLoC being fairly influential

My sibling in Christ you commented this on a post about Mozilla going against what Google said. If Mozilla was a puppet this article would not have been written.

I recently discovered this adorable little indie point and click adventure game called Read Only Memories. The basic plot is that you’re a struggling freelance journalist living in a crappy apartment in Neo-San Francisco in the year 2064. Human genetic and cybernetic modification is widely available, and some jackasses have decided to spend their time protesting outside the clinics that provide it. They claim it strips away the very things that make us human, whatever that may mean (editorialism mine – the game, strangely, goes to great lengths to allow the player to choose either, or neither, side in this conflict through dialogue options, although the vast majority of characters you meet will have the same opinion I did). Also, ROMs (personal voice-activated robots – think ChatGPT with legs) are fairly commonplace and can be seen everywhere from individual households to the police force. They’re highly conversational though not particularly human.

Anyway, one day, you wake up, and one of these robots is standing at the foot of your bed. You’re somewhat surprised by this, since you’re way too broke to afford one. The robot introduces themself as Turing, a top-secret project to create a truly sapient ROM, who has just witnessed their creator being kidnapped and broke into your apartment during the night to ask for your help to solve the case.

I’ve only gotten to the second chapter so far, but I’m loving it. It is very cute and very queer and does not shy away from the gritty realities of its subject matter. I don’t want to spoil too much, but there’s one conversation where you find out why the genetically modified person who’s been a bit of a dick to you got genetic modifications and the major struggles they went through to get it, and I do not think the allegory could have been more obvious if the entire screen turned into a giant trans flag.

Also Turing is adorable. And you can hug them. Also the music is incredible.

It’s an incredible game and you should totally play it ^^

Is that really how the law sees it?

Did it even occur to you that this could be a false positive?

Also you do realize this isn’t Reddit?
