No? That’s demisexual. Pansexual is you’re attracted to all (pan- means all) types of people, which is effectively equivalent to bi. Note attraction does not mean you like that person. You don’t even need to know someone to be attracted to them.

Yeah, the only way pansexual makes sense, to me at least, is if bisexual excludes feminine presenting men and masculine presenting women, but I don’t see why it should. I feel like pan was just created either to make certain people feel like they’re being more inclusive than just normal bi people, or to make bi people feel like they’re being exclusive.

A lot of the gender and sexual orientation language of recent times is good and removes ambiguity. Some of it though, like pan, feels like people just treating it as a contest.

I’m pretty sure she’s just trying to have an excuse to carry around plushies, and that’s fine!

I love that for Morrowind even the guide is called The Morrowind Prophecies. Everything about Morrowind was made with care and an attempt to make the world feel real. The later games can be fun, but none of them do this to the same degree.

Also, in my experience, Linux is much better at handling legacy titles than Windows is at this point. It’s weird, but one more advantage for Linux!

Oops, I didn’t write what a clip was. Yeah, a clip is something used to move ammo, not hold it. It is there to get it into a magazine. Usually clips have minimal material too, just enough to connect to the ammo but be lightweight.

Yep. If they just stop building for financial reasons then it looks like a bad investment. If it’s because “the technology is too good” then they can slow down and act like it’s a good investment at the same time.

I correct this too, but the worst thing is the people who correct others but think anything going into a gun is a magazine. Like you said, there are both. Most modern weapons use a magazine.

Essentially, a magazine is a container that holds ammo. It isn’t just something that goes into a gun. Ships have magazines, where the ammo is stored to be used.

My thought is shave soap is about the only thing I’ve used that could create foam like this.

I know I at least read Animal Farm and To Kill a Mockingbird when I was younger. I wonder how much those ended up influencing me. At the time I wouldn’t have totally agreed with them, and I don’t remember them having a particularly large influence, but they probably did affect me without me knowing. However, I also watched a lot of sci-fi and Star Trek, which probably had an even greater influence.

I wish there was a way to analyze our past and pick apart what effect different things had. It’d be really fun to know. I think when you consume something that you think really changes you, you were already primed for that change before. A lot of things lead up to that moment that you don’t even recognize.

For me, and probably 99.99% of Lemmy users, sure. I was talking to the daughter of a family friend recently (somewhere around 16yo), and her dad uses Linux (not for gaming), and I asked what she used. She said Windows, because “you can’t game on Linux.” I asked what she played, because almost every game works fine, and she said Fortnite. She’s in a family where one of the parents at least is anti-Windows, but she can’t really switch because of that game. I’d much rather it worked with Linux so those kids wouldn’t be left out if they switch. The alternative is them just not switching, which is worse.

I would guess a helicopter, but I’m sure you could climb it.

If they post something saying that, I 100% believe it. If not, I’m assuming they sold it.

Yep. Physical access is equivalent to ownership. The only reasonable thing you can do to protect against it is to prevent access. Given enough time and physical access, any system can be compromised. Encryption is the only good prevention from them reading the data, but it isn’t foolproof, and backups are the only good way to ensure you can access the data after.

Probably in more than one way. He probably wants to turn women into children so he can rape them too.

Yeah, this just means, if true, it’s totally ineffective. It’ll be hacked to bypass it if it’s all local, which means people wanting to avoid it will.

I got a free game on Epic at one point that had it. It runs, but changing Proton versions makes it view it as a new machine, and it’ll eventually stop you from playing. I think it’s time limited, so eventually you can continue.

Basically, you’re gambling that the game runs fine with whatever Proton version you start with, or you may be in for a bad time. I don’t recommend it.

I upvoted your reply until I got to your last sentence. I haven’t been rude. Why are you being rude? Meanwhile telling me not to be a jackass about it…

Well sure. If the requirements are stupid then they’re stupid. That’s not what you said before though. Showing content from the web doesn’t create stupid requirements.

No you aren’t. There are a million ways you could handle this that don’t require a web view. Saying that means anything that retrieves any information from a server needs one. All it needs to do is retrieve the information that needs to be displayed from a server. I don’t know what all they serve through it, but it could easily provide the text and images needed without a web view.

Sure, but if you think the entire French resistance was organized then you don’t really know what you’re talking about. There were plenty of individual acts. Insisting it must be organized, and then insisting that it must meet a certain level of organization, is only insisting that nothing is allowed. All revolution requires a certain amount of disorganization, or everything is centralized and is easy to topple.

Also, nothing in the above said for it to be unorganized. You previously only insisted acting outside the justice system is wrong, and now you’ve stepped back from that stance. It’s progress I guess, but you don’t see the bigger picture yet.

The media’s “all violence is evil” propaganda insists that the state has a monopoly on violence. They’re allowed to use it to keep us in line, but we can’t use it to keep them in line. The reality is that there should be no solid line. Every individual will have a certain tolerance and threshold for violence. Literally no one is at zero for both. Everyone knows violence must be used sometimes, but they disagree on when and by whom.
