Hiya, I sent you a DM but the long and short of it is that I’m also in the southeastern Louisiana area and am queer and would be down to get more queer friends in the area
Just a note that Proton VPN doesn’t allow P2P on their free plan.
By imager, I just mean when installing an OS
So there’s no way of just telling the imager to skip a folder or two? Would switching over even be worth it?
Currently I’m just waiting out job applications to hopefully pay me more than my two part time jobs (or at least one of them) and have me working less for it
I keep considering putting Arch on my desktop (it currently has Ubuntu) but I feel like I would have to back up all my files. Is there a way to upgrade without backing up everything onto one of my hard drives? I’m just worried I’d miss something
What about people who program in C?
As far as I can remember, that may be possible if/when we spool our framework, however, the Lemmy devs have said that they don’t want people doing this. Do take this with a grain of salt as I know my memory isn’t great.
Is this the new sugar free Haribo gummy bear bag
This 100%. I also don’t like being at a new job or in a situation with new people and I don’t know if I should come out or stay stealth, both as gay and as a gender. Like I shouldn’t have to edit my language to keep on the good side of a group of people I haven’t really gotten to know or really care about yet.
Half-joke (see here)
I would, in no certain order:
No silly, birds aren’t real /hj
it would take you 257 years to meet everyone alive on earth at this moment
Sounds like a terrible sorting algorithm /jk
Personally I feel that asking a marginalized community to “be nice” to those oppressing them is complete hogwash; I believe it was Martin Luther King Jr. who said “riots are the voice of a rebellion.”
That being said, I think that what Kolanki was trying to say is that a majority of the time, transphobes aren’t looking to have their mind changed when they log onto the internet to spread their bigotry; they’re looking for an outburst of violent reaction from the people they torment.
Oftentimes they may be looking for this as evidence to support whatever claim they’re making about trans people (they’re violent, they have an agenda, they want to take people’s kids, etc). Coming from a background of abuse, I agree that we shouldn’t feed the bigots much like one shouldn’t feed trolls; they never leave once you start unless removed by force (i.e. banned from a community, in this case).
I do agree that people don’t withdraw allyship because we’re not kind or nice or patient enough or what-have-you; that is something that I have not seen personally and anecdotally from other marginalized people (in fact, I’ve tended to see the opposite).
Initially it was Animal Crossing: Wild World. One of my parents’ coworker’s daughter was babysitting me before school when I was in 3rd grade and she had the game on her DS and I fell in love with it. Still have the copy I got to this day. However, I wouldn’t say I fully got into the hobby until The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess (Wii). TP especially got me to fall in line with video games as a storytelling medium artistically and narratively.
Don’t listen to your parents; for all of the advice out there in the world that says that your parents know what’s best for you and want that for your future, that does not apply here. Also it’s okay to be gay and agender, so go slay and get a sweet boyfriend.
I do video editing myself in Linux and Kdenlive does pretty much everything I need. The UI is a bit odd to learn but I’d imagine any new editing software is gonna have a learning curve of some sort.
