The rate of girls identitying as liberal is significantly higher and unlike the conservative boys, the rate hasn't started dropping off. Probably because the girls face actual threats to their freedoms, while the conservative boys' complaints are about a bunch of imaginary nonsense.

But of course it's boys who get the headline. The hill is a right wing dumpster bin.

Fuck Meta

I'm so sick of these lying, perverted assholes. This isn't "their opinion", this is stochastic terrorism deliberately meant to put LGBT people in physical danger by associating them with pedophilia. It's the exact kind of hatred the Nazis fomented against Jewish people. They know it's not true, lying is a means to an end.

These people are genuine extremists who have to be stopped. It infuriates me that so many people still try to play the "both sides" bullshit. Democrats aren't openly talking about eliminating entire groups of people, like Mark Rubio did.

How could that be legal?

How do you "fucking go in" to an online bank? And why are you being so aggressive about a simple question? Getting tired of people still acting like redditors here.

What male -specific rights are currently threatened or actively being removed?

Most full stack devs I've met are crap at one end or the other. I've also noticed a lot of el cheapo companies trying to get away with full stack only because having specialized devs costs them more money.

These companies would love to fire everyone and have DevOpsQAUxPmUiExec do everything instead.

Oh of course they target women and not the pedophile pastors assaulting their own children. These right wing Christians are disgusting people.

I don't have any advice, but I'm seeing bugs even in Windows. The right click menu in the system tray isn't sized properly so half of it is cut off and there's no way to select the cut off menu options, even with keyboard input.

I have to open up the entire app just to exit steam. I've seen other UI bugs too.

I think the new UI is nice overall but it's very buggy. Might not even be an issue with Linux, just a buggy app.

Lol so you're one of the devs the author is talking about. Imagine getting this worked up over a topic you clearly don't understand. "Failed technology stack" -- that's right everyone, the most widely used stack on the planet is a failure because this guy doesn't like javascript. Everyone else in the world is obviously a stupid moron for not seeing things his way.

If you program in anything other than machine code you are an idiot. Remember that next time you use a failed abstraction like C.

Can't believe this nonsense actually got upvoted. You never even identify any real issues with modern JS or HTML. It's just a bunch of run-on whining. "HTML was meant to provide a standardized way for presenting data" -- lol so literally how it's still used today.

These laws are intentionally toothless. Google will eat the fines and the feds can pretend they won something.

Nothing will change until we start imprisoning executives who break the law.

No. You can link a reputable source and not some random hateful asshat's YouTube channel. Grow up already.

We cannot allow another country to pretend they have jurisdiction in North America, that's beyond unacceptable. These enforcers absolutely need to be arrested and deported.

China won't do shit. They are just as dependent on the US/Canada, if not moreso at this point. If we allow this to continue we are essentially surrendering our sovereignty to them, while allowing them to harass and threaten our taxpayers. That is pure cowardice.

Israel passed a law last year that bans Palestinian spouses of Israeli citizens from living in Israel. The Israeli government is blatantly, overtly racist. Fuck the cowardly dems who didn't stand up for Jayapal.

Any multi platform GUI toolkit with a cross-compilable language will give you twice the functionality in half the development time over HTML+CSS+JavaScript.

Hundreds of companies have tried to solve this exact problem for years and already did the cost/benefit analysis. It turns out that writing almost all of your code exactly once is cheaper than doing it in the multiple stacks that would be required with whatever your dream architecture is. They are not idiots just because you want them to be.

You sound like someone with zero practical experience in this area who just wants to rant about code purity. The rest of us are trying to get shit done while you pine for a perfect technology stack that will never exist.

Depends on your distro and what's available in the repo. With default repos you're more trusting the distro developer to vet packages.

I trust debian for that. It's been a while since I used Ubuntu so I don't remember how their repos are set up but the debian team is notoriously conservative with their repos.

Debian is more bare bones then Ubuntu, that's why. Ubuntu comes with a lot of packages already installed by default. In Debian you have to install a lot of that stuff manually. You might also have to edit some configs for example. It's not that hard, but maybe a little too much for a beginner.

I upgraded Debian to 12 last night, which required manually updating the source.list for the apt repos for example. It's been a while but I'm pretty sure Ubuntu gives you a UI for upgrades? Upgrading Debian was simple for a techie who's played around in Linux already, but it could be more intimidating for a newbie.

Yes they're owned by IBM now.

But Google has the best engineers lol

The idea was that you basically paid your own way. A huge part of the issue is that Congress steals our social security money on a regular basis and people let them get away with it.

I'll take that any day over having my girlfriend's rights at risk because suburban soccer moms fell for CRT BS and decided to elect a christo fascist looney tune governor of VA. Because of them it's now illegal to watch porn without submitting photo ID, they derailed our weed legalization, they're pissing away the state's massive surplus to help rich people and they keep trying to ban and undermine abortion rights.

Meanwhile in Mass you've got legal weed, actual efforts to address inequality, women's rights perfected and among the best standards of living in the country? Count me in. It's not like mad transit is miracle down here, the metro is horrendous.

There's no state in this country that's free of major corruption at this point. It doesn't matter if you're in a red blue or purple state, corruption is everywhere, and there are basically zero moderate republicans. I'll take corrupt secular governance any day over these crazy fundamentalists, who are apparently very electable even in a light blue state and even more corrupt than most Dems

You can never go wrong with Thinkpad. Both of mine are 10+ years old and still running and they do with realyl well with Linux

The carriers refused to do it one their own so Google had to provide the servers themselves. Apple could do the same, but we all know they won't and never will. If it wasn't this excuse it would be another one.

What's your source for your claim about the intercept?

Never seen it work? These faang people are totally delusional. Google keeps putting off their third party cookie retirement exactly because of outcries like this.

I'm confused, do you actually believe that Democrats are not beholden to big money?

I mean even Solaris and the BSDs are just different flavors of Unix

She's abusing her office to make money, to me the distinction is only in degrees of criminality. These justices are acting like they're above the law because they basically are, which is unacceptable. Judges in general have way too much power.

If a regular federal employee or contractor did something similar they'd lose their job and probably go to prison. A janitor at the FBI is held to a higher standard then supreme court justices are.

You didn't give an example of shit. I asked for an example of how boys' rights are being treated and you come up with some wussy nonsense about recess. Give me a break. No one has a "right" to recess, even if your complaints about it were true, which they aren't.

Your ideology is a fragile, weak joke. It's pathetic that the right thinks they own masculinity and strength while acting like a bunch of whiny wimps.

Ngl that's kind of a shocking oversight given the nature of the internet

Do you have an article about react? I'd love to read it. And yes tech is chock full of egos and fakers.

Man, I hope the EU pulls the trigger on Google. They are way, way overdue for getting broken up. It's insane how easily they can change the entire internet on a whim with zero oversight. The Biden admin will never do it.

My girlfriend noped out of lemmy pretty much immediately after I tried to explain how to set it up and use it. Objectively, it's a lot more confusing than signing up for something like reddit. She's also pretty tech savvy, so I can't imagine normies making the transition in mass.

If these federated alternatives are going to become mainstream, someone will have to step up with an implementation that greatly improves usability and accessibility. Meaning that federation will probably have to be masked to a large degree to reduce confusion. Maybe something more like a distributed network instead of a federated one.

As soon as you start talking techbro nonsense like federation and decentralization, people's eyes glaze over. People don't care how things work, they just care that it does what they need it to.

Hate to say it but a lot of us in tech, especially the devs, are really out of touch with end users. They aren't philosophizing about the internet. I understand why people are excited about the idea of decentralization, and why it matters, but it has to be presented in a way that's much simpler for people to understand if we actually went people to get on board.

Yeah I'm so sick of hearing about the Green Party. Yes they suck, but we have data on who green voters are, and only about 30% of them said they would vote for a Democrat if there was no green candidate.

It's a convenient excuse for establishment Democrats to avoid taking responsibility for their losses, but doesn't hold up to any level of scrutiny. Their biggest issue is consistently failing to motivate their own base. Obama understood that Democratic voters respond well to positive campaign strategies while Clinton and Biden cling to 90s triangulation strategies. Which didn't even work back then they just got lucky that Ross Perot existed.

Green Party voters vote against the system. You can't blame losses on them because the vast majority would simply sit the election out instead of voting for a Dem.

Then we shouldn't call them JRPGs.

You called it "bloated" which makes it sound you like you did not know that.

So what? That has nothing to do with anyone's rights. Girls are facing having their body autonomy stripped away and the best you can come up with for boys is that they don't have boys only orgs at school anymore?

Conservatives are so fucking soft.

Lol recess is a right now?

Debian is rock solid. Turning it to be the best laptop-server I've run so far.

I still use Windows 11 for gaming though :(. Just can't be bothered with the minor annoyances Linux can often cause. I'm glad it's getting better though
