White genocide?

Comaps works well for me. If it’s not comprehensive enough, contribute! OSM is crowd-sourced.

The first time I encountered a baking recipe with ounces, I looked up ounces as I didn’t know what they were. Imperial units aren’t taught in a lot of countries. The Wikipedia article said ounces could be mass or volume, and also had different values in different countries. So I was just very confused as to what the author meant.

Everybody knows what a ml is, what a gram is, etc. They have the same value everywhere. There’s no ambiguity. What is “customary” for you is a confusing system imposed on the rest of the world who want to understand what you mean.

The main reason it annoys me is because a lot of English-language recipes online are written by USAmericans and therefore use imperial units that I have to convert. I’ve also noticed that they seem to measure everything in cups even for things where it makes no sense to use volume (flour is a common one—isn’t baking supposed to be precise? Flours can have different densities, air pockets, etc). I find ounces really confusing because they can be volume or mass.

Also, imperial is not standardised, so different countries have different amounts for a cup, an ounce, a pint, etc. I guess I can check the recipe author’s country and then convert to metric. But I just find it confusing. Can’t we just all use the same units that are nice and easy to use together since they’re powers of 10?

Sure, it’s not against any rules, but it’s at least rude to claim an AUR package name for some vibecoded app you spun up one afternoon and are not planning on maintaining. OP is just complaining about low quality software—“why not write low-quality software?”, well sure, you are within your right to, but others are also within their rights to complain.

That’s where multi factor authentication comes in. Biometrics are something that you are. You also need something that you know.

There are contingency plans for all my digital responsibilities (ie things other people rely upon that need someone to maintain them). For everything else, ie digital assets that only I use, I don’t care what happens to them when I die, on account of being dead and unable to care about anything.

I don’t particularly care in the abstract but this particular piece of software is also technically awful vibecoded slop. And DHH isn’t a random nazi, but a nazi with a platform provided by the popularity of his slopware.

For recording in cells, the glasses would be caught by the regular scanners used at various security boundaries including upon entry to custody, at least every time I’ve been detained. Is that not normal in the US?

I mean, critical support to Meta I guess. They finally figured out a real use case for their glasses. Albeit a very limited one because there’s already hidden cameras people can wear on their body, all of which are easily detectable when they search you before chucking you into a cell.

I’m “arguing hard”? I’ve sent two comments. Took a couple minutes. Aren’t we on social media to, well, socialise?

Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter… have paid moderators.

Yes, so the biggest centralised social medias that run most of the modern web. Of which Reddit is a part.

tbh I don’t think it is on reddit either.

Really depends on what you moderate. Some subreddits deal with culture war warriors sending rape threats, doxxing, brigading, etc. I used to mod a subreddit where another mod had to delete her account because she was doxxed by kiwifarms.

Wtf are you on about? You are conceding shit that nobody asked you you to concede. I’m not “fighting hard”. I replied to a comment on a lemmy post. Nobody thinks that antifa means anything other than anti-fascist except right-wingers in one country I don’t live in. Why should I let them control my language?

My spam filter on my email server. Autocorrect on Heliboard. I think that’s it. Luckily I picked up English at a young age so I don’t need it for translation.

Also for people having a kneejerk reaction, “AI” and “ML” as terms long predate the current slopwave. The ML I am talking about in the previous paragraph is not genAI, it is the kind of ML to classify things (emails into spam/ham, words into correct/incorrect), that you can feed training data to improve its accuracy rate.

Why tf are you letting US fascists take away a term that’s been used for a century by anti-fascists across the world? It doesn’t even have the Trumpian connotation outside of the US.

But moderation of centralised social media is usually done by paid workers. Subreddits are not independent forums; Reddit admins interfere all the time, and they’re hosted on Reddit servers so ultimately are at the mercy of Reddit’s decisions.

I don’t think Wikipedia contributions are comparable to subreddit moderation. Moderation is known for being traumatising work (see: lawsuits from global south workers over PTSD from seeing CSAM, snuff, and other traumatising content when doing underpaid moderation work) and I don’t think there are many moderators who do it for fun. They may do it voluntarily because they like a community or think their subreddit/forum is a valuable resource they want to maintain. But not because the labour of moderation itself is fun. Meanwhile I imagine most Wikipedia contributors do so because they are interested in the topic, and it’s far less likely to expose editors to traumatising content.

I mean, Wikipedia still refused to recognise the union. They have to now given the results of the vote. And I’m sure they get more than enough in donations anyway. They did before the dispute with their workers, and I doubt enough people boycotted Wikipedia over it for it to mean that Wikipedia can’t cover their costs.

Yeah. It’s kinda crazy how Reddit has just offloaded their moderation to unpaid volunteers and managed to have very few people complain about this.

I don’t think the main users of these services are Twitter users as you can’t log in to Twitter using the alternative frontends, nor can you follow accounts to create a timeline afaik. They’re just for viewing tweets eg if someone has sent you a Twitter link and you want to see what it is, or for conducting open-source research on what a person has said or put out historically. At least that’s how I use them.

Women are made to suppress their natural features so much to the extent that transphobic men think features that are naturally common on cis women are a sign of being trans. I (cis woman) have a moustache, all of the cis women in my family have visible facial hair, and it’s quite common for women, especially non-white women, to have some amount of dark facial hair. But we’re expected to wax it or shave it or laser it off, so people think facial hair on cis women is unheard of. There’s a huge range of natural diversity that just gets suppressed.
