Just for the sake of clarity, there is a difference between jumping above 2C during a year and the long-term average being above 2C, which is what we’re usually talking about when it comes to global warming. This headline, and the 1.5C headlines from 2023, tend to muddy the waters. Shit is bad and getting worse, but it’s not quite as bad as you might think at first glance.

Oof, you got me with this one. I’m visiting family for Memorial Day weekend, and the relentless misgendering is wearing on me. Tbf, I can’t blame them, because I haven’t come out to any of them yet

I mean, I suppose so. I can imagine a theoretical AI that isn’t trained on stolen work, isn’t insanely energy intensive, isn’t controlled by the ownership class, and doesn’t hallucinate wildly. But that’s so far away from what AI is in our current context, drawing that distinction feels like losing the forest for the trees, at this point in time.

Quite a lot of people, especially here on the Fediverse. You’d be wise to care too - AI is no friend to the working class.

I would love to! It’s just a pretty conservative workplace, so I’m very worried about the backlash that I’m expecting

You totally should! I’m glad you have the courage to do it 😊

I’d love to, but I’m still closeted to almost everyone, except for my therapist, wife, and a few close friends. And I work with a bunch of conservative white men close to retirement. I have the absolute joy of hearing my boss listen to conservative talk radio almost every day. I’m legally protected from discrimination, but I think coming out and presenting femme at work would create a difficult environment that I’m not ready to deal with right now. I’ll probably change jobs, and let the new one know that I’m going to be transitioning, rather than try to make this one work, since I’m hoping to move away sometime in the next year anyway.

Thank you!

Hey, please don’t use ableist slurs. It’s easy to criticize conservatives without doing so.

Cool! Still not gonna put all my eggs in the fascist-sympathetic basket

Is it possible? Yes.

Is it particularly likely that hosting a Jellyfin server would attract unwanted attention? I’d say probably not, unless you’re doing something else that might draw scrutiny.

You’re better off leaving Rumble behind

Has Mozilla indicated any openness to taking that approach with Firefox?

I have a similar setup, and no. Once it’s configured, it’s easy peasy, but it would probably be a difficult and confusing process for a non-technical person to get through without help. Addy.io is a great service that a non-technical user shouldn’t have any issue using

That was an excellent and well-thought out response, thank you for sharing it! It’s a thorny question for sure, and I appreciate your nuanced view

The solutions look a lot different for the real loneliness epidemic than a “male loneliness epidemic”. You fix the first by creating more walkable cities, more third places you can be without needing to spend money, and giving people the time and money they need to go out, do things, and socialize.

The proposed solutions for the “male loneliness epidemic” seem to be a lot more like shitty men saying “women need to lower their standards and be okay with being my therapist/mom/girlfriend, while I change nothing about myself”

Littering, especially cigarette butts. Nothing sends me into a blind rage faster than seeing someone flick a cigarette butt out their car window. Not littering is SO easy, the bar is on the floor, and yet so many people just don’t care at all.

I am a trans woman who was raised Catholic, so I feel similarly. I’ve had to do so much work in therapy just to get to a place where I can accept myself for who I am. A lot of those old beliefs were baked in deeper than I realized.

I carry a lot of resentment towards my (very devout) parents for raising me in the church, but I also recognize my experience is not emblematic of every person’s experience being raised in a religious household.
