I thought the post was about neopronouns in general. Didn't know the drag example was the main concern and thought it was just an exaggerated example.

A lot of people say the same things about trans folks in terms of gay rights. Some people might be fucking around, but drawing a line in the sand like that is going to inevitably invalidate people with legitimate identities. And if you really don't want to use them, it's super easy to just ignore. Idk if I've ever even had to refer to someone with third person pronouns on Lemmy.

True. Or just discard their attempts to taint the language. Like how some slurs have been reclaimed.

Interesting. Feels like there's a bit of a paradox, where we need a term to address a group of people who are being "othered," but while that's the case, there will be people who use that term as an insult.

More people live in "people live here?" than the entirety of "too square" lmao

Don't get me started on ds9. A black captain? A trans lesbian officer? A gay interspecies couple? The federation using fear from war as an excuse to become a police state? Can't believe they made my colorful space communism show woke.

People are right about flatpak - it will generally keep stuff out of your actual root/home directory. But like you implied, the steam flatpak is unofficial so you may run into issues. With that said, I've used it and know many people who use it without any problems.

And depending on the game, you might be able to run it directly with steam offline, or even straight from the executable without steam open at all.

Of course this isn't airtight, but there are ways to check the permissions granted to flatpak applications. And IMO it works well enough for games. Ofc this depends on how paranoid you are and your reasons for wanting this (fear of a game being a virus, not wanting clutter in home, wanting protection from a bug that would delete data, etc.).

 

Haven't got my $1,000 yet.

 

WebCord is an "alternative client" for Discord, although it's just running the Discord webpage in electron. Recently it updated its electron version so it supports sharing audio as well as video.

I tried it out today on mint (x11, pulseaudio) and it works flawlessly.

 

Fortunately all the comments are dunking on this guy.

 

In today's episode, commander Sisko grapples with the effects of the war and how far his morality can be stretched in the name of the greater good. Meanwhile, O'Brien has a winning streak at darts.

 

My music tastes are weird, I like a lot of music but the only two bands I've found that make stuff I really resonate with are 65DaysOfStatic and maybeshewill.

Are there any post rock bands (or of any of genre) that have a similar energy? I've tried the usual recommedations (Godspeed You Black Emperor, Mogwai, etc.) but it feels flat, with the same melody repeating for ages.

Bonus points if there's good use of electronic sounds.

 

Just for fun I started watching it to see what it even is, and so far it's pretty fun! Colin Baker's doctor is a lot of fun, it's interesting to see a doctor who (hehe) is a bit more full of themselves.

From what I gather though, people at the time really didn't like it, but that could have just been because of Colin Baker. Now that general opinion of Colin Baker is much better and we can revisit those episodes without as much bias, I'm interested in what the general verdict on this season is. Do people still hate it? Is it a cult classic? Do people just think it's meh?

I've been working on this game for about 2 years, and finally created a proper trailer for it!

Feel free to ask questions and/or tell me what you think. If you're interested, I also have a steam page up: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2565520/Year_Unknown/

 

(Please let me know if this counts as advertising and I'll remove it)

I'm a huge fan of weird "walking sim" type games - stuff like Naissancee, The Beginner's Guide, Inside, etc.. So now I'm finally making my own, with some more focus on story.

I've been working on Year Unknown for a few years now, and I've already made a couple devlogs if you want to learn more about the game. But now I've finally published a steam page!

I'm also kinda proud to have almost entirely used free, open source software to create it - Godot, Blender, GIMP, and Audacity.

Let me know what you think!
