No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

My iPhone shows three options πŸ€·πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Are the colors meant for gender?

[–] Someasy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Yes, orange = neutral, purple = female, blue = male. They just did it like that

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

But the orange one looks exactly the same as the blue one.

[–] cobysev@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

The hair is styled differently.

[–] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

These come from the fonts on your device - there isn’t some β€œofficial” image for each, just what code point is what

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

But how did they assign the various colors to genders? I mean, they don't even know the color of my dick...

[–] Turun@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

It's stereotypes all the way down.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They look orange, purple, and green to me

Getting all of them on Pixel, too

On android here, an du have never had that issue. πŸ€·πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Also on that note, I did have a suspicion that it was a gender neutral reason but had never been able to differentiate between the male and the gender neutral. I have actually been using that the whole time even though I am a he/him cis straight 🀷

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which application? Device? OS?

[–] Someasy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Samsung keyboard on One UI (Samsung's version of Android), throughout all apps. Samsung Galaxy S22

[–] dandroid@dandroid.app 5 points 2 years ago

There's your problem. Gender neutral is first in Gboard. 🀷

You could actually download Gboard from the play store if it isn't already bundled with your phone.

[–] Venat0r@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try install a different keyboard. I'm using Microsoft SwiftKey and it gives access to all variations of the emoji with a long press πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Thanks, but I can get that too, it's just when you use the search bar to type in a term, like "shrug", " tipping hand", "kneeling", "massage", or "haircut", that it only displays the male and female forms (for me). I'm using Samsung Keyboard because it allows for some good clipboard features that others don't, unfortunately.

[–] snowe@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

Shows all the options on iPhone, on all the keyboards I have installed.

With Gboard, you can even change the color.

Gboard is missing a bunch of other emojis and is slow as fuck to add new ones though

SwiftKey is far better for emojis, Gboard is better for languages, otherwise they're around the same

[–] moitoi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

I have all the last emojis in Gboard. Gboard use the set of emoji of your version of Android. Google did a change this year to accelerate the deployment of the emojis on Gboard through the play services.

SwiftKey use its own set of emojis. I guess.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Mine only shows one, because I have to long press on it to display all of the variants.

[–] octoperson@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I don't get the gender neutral either (using Gboard on an older Android). Which is a bit odd because as far as I can tell gender neutral is the base character, and the male and female versions are customisations that are applied as if they were accented characters.

I'd rather have them all as no-gender, no-race, generic little yellow peeps but eh..
