Why are the road signs gaslighting me

I would love an android version of this and I will give you feedback on it and donate.

I don’t hate those people but I do want to slap them and tell them NO.

A school shouldn’t make kids pay to call their legal guardian. Make phone calls free.

Were they actually being dishonest about it, or were they not disclosing it? There are a lot of things people don’t disclose before meeting up. Outside of a romantic relationship context, cis people tend to be more accepting of trans people in general if the cis people don’t know right away that the person is trans and find out later.

But for sexual/romantic relationships it’s different because most people want to know the genitals of their potential partners up front. This makes it difficult for trans people, who are stuck deciding at what point they should disclose the state of their genitals, in a way that is considered honest, keeps them safe, and maintains some privacy.

Flight attendant: “Why are these screens pushed in and stained orange?”

Yes, please! Keep pushing on the screen harder and harder until it breaks. Then do it on the screen next to you.

Yeah but most people aren’t lemmy users, meaning that the people who are here and have tech questions probably do more with their computers.

I have windows-only software i use that interfaces with hardware and the only way it all works is using an actual windows PC – not a VM.

God I miss Windows 7.

Nice try but you’re not tricking me that easily into using Twitter!

I’m allowed to use it and be critical of it at the same time. But I use it way less these days because adblocker or not, it’s become a user-hostile and censored place and every video is following the same formula in order to get seen the most and the whole thing feels gross.

God I fucking hate YouTube.

I’m not shitting on half the population, I’m highlighting the reality of men reacting violently at women to being rejected or ignored. It’s every day. It’s constant. Walk a mile in a young woman’s shoes and you’ll get to experience it firsthand.

Well in that case, one brand of such glasses is Reflectacles 😎

I think IR lights on glasses can blind cameras, and there are also infrared-blocking glasses that also reflect IR light from cameras back at them. So yes, adding lights or reflectors can be effective.

But we shouldn’t even have to consider these workarounds to maintain our privacy and security. And even if we start wearing these glasses or fooling the systems, governments will outlaw the use of such circumventing tech.

Our reaction to this needs to be “we will not allow this tech to be used against us, period.” Ban it for law enforcement, ban it for commerce, ban it in airports and schools.

No thanks.

Considering users can install any apps they want on most android devices, Google’s argument that it will compromise safety and tarnish google’s image seems absurd.

Of course Google is implementing the feature via Google Play Services. I get why, but man is it frustrating for everyone who doesn’t use or want Google Play Services on their phones. Hopefully other OSes can build this functionality in.

I have no heard a man express what you would call a toxic opinion in like twenty years.

Your personal experience is not representative of the experience of the rest of the world. Though I am very glad that this has been your experience!
