  • Context no longer seems to matter to them, so it shouldn’t to anyone else when discussing things like this. Pass it around.

    Ignoring necessary context required to correctly understand or interpret even a direct quote while "pass[ing] it around" is extremely deceptive. Exhibit A. In context, it is extremely plausible that Trump was referring to the 2020 election as, by losing it and being eligible to run in 2024, he is now able to oversee the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

  • We shouldn't spread something we know to be misinformation or deceptive. Context is important.

  • What about trans women who transitioned before puberty? What about cis or intersex women with elevated levels of testosterone? What about sports where it has been shown that after a long enough period of medical transition trans people have no significant advantage over their cis counterparts?

    You appeal to science yet fail to cite a single source, so let me do it for you:

    An individual's sex does not determine their success or failure at any athletic event despite the high level of competition. This can be demonstrated when looking at not average outcomes, but the level of overlap among outcomes... While sex differences do develop following puberty, many of the sex differences are reduced, if not erased, over time by gender affirming hormone therapy.

  • Delegate John Dickinson asked a rhetorical question: “Will a virtuous and sensible people chuse villains or fools for their officers?”

  • I hit part of my saving goal for further medical transition!!!

  • Congrats!! It's always heartening to hear stories of supportive family 🩷

  • People should just be using TOTP, its only a little less convenient in my opinion (or actually more sometimes, like when you don't get the SMS MFA code for an hour!)

  • I will be dead and buried in the ground before I call nginx "engine x"

  • My cars battery died, which sucked, but I got to feel like the handy lesbian I want to be while I replaced it myself 🩷

  • I wear a bikini top and board shorts (could put tucking underwear underneath?). It's feminine enough and is not as revealing.

  • Nearly everywhere in my country mandates lessons, so yeah

  • I would assume you don't want to talk to me (as in, don't like talking to me) and are trying to end the conversation as quickly as possible. Why aren't you asking questions? Or even writing more than one word responses? You can write formally or dry, I do, but like, you have a responsibility to uphold your end of the conversation.

  • Verizon sold Tumblr to WordPress in 2019

  • It is illegal in most countries to host child sexual abuse material.

  • Whether they acted out of malice or ignorance, they bear the same moral culpability for the consequences of their vote. They have a social responsibility to ensure they are informed and vote accordingly; everyone should be able to spot fascism and authoritarianism when they see it.

  • You're mostly right. Newer devices won't share their entire app list by default, at compile time you need to enumerate every app you want to query for, or add what are essentially a list of intent filters (which are like "I want to talk to apps that take this kind of message and payload"). There is still a permission that lets you list all apps like you were able to on pre API 30 devices, but Google makes it pretty difficult to get onto the app store in that state.

    You can still send intents as much as you like though (as long as you know the recipient), since they're the basis for all inter-process communication.

    My point is more that an app developer can't and doesn't need to use the play store to get the list of apps you have on your phone. This requirement to have the play store almost certainly isn't malicious and I disagree with the notion that apps shouldn't be able to use what is essentially system infrastructure to improve their apps. That said, given this is an app targeting the fediverse, it would have been nice for the developer to have made a universal APK build that didn't require the Play Store.
