fair enough, last time i saw this one making the rounds everyone was calling it ai and that’s what i remembered… mob mentality is a hell of a drug smh

don’t pretend like you’ve got some great wisdom for knowing how to use photoshop though, it’s not some mythical lost art from the 90s

i finished my bachelor’s thesis earlier this week using nothing but caffeine and vyvanse, so at least one of us still exists :)

if they are unaware of, or able to ignore, the fact that their decisions affect real people’s livelihoods, that makes them ideal candidates for HR positions. the entire purpose of HR is to protect the company, not its employees.

weather around here (central switzerland) is normally pretty mild, but a few years ago there was this extremely localized burst of intense hail that went through my town. the hailstones were maybe 7cm across, on my entire street every single solar panel/skylight/south-facing window without overhang/car windshield was completely smashed to bits. nearer the village center the hail wasn’t as big, but there was so much of it that there was a mountain of hail sitting outside the train station for a week in midsummer heat.

tbh i’ve never used any form of OCR (outside of the one time i tried out live translation in google translate) and the idea of using it didn’t even cross my mind

bear in mind that no matter how progressive the filmmakers are, the Spider-Verse movies are still mass-market movies, and the corporate studio overlords would never greenlight anything which they deem “controversial” and could hurt the film’s reception. in the West, gayness is sufficiently widely accepted that the entire MCU was able to get away with a single canonically gay character who says one throwaway line (which is totally inconsequential and can be easily dubbed over for less progressive markets). on the other hand, even in the “progressive” West, the mere existence of a trans person is enough for some people outside of the alt-right to raise a huge fuss - there’s no way any major studio would allow an open discussion of a character’s transness in one of the most hyped franchises of the past few years, let alone one of the main characters¹. veiled hints and nods are the best you’re going to get.

that said, while i sorta understand your skepticism, i think there’s enough times throughout the movies where it’s just aggressively in-your-face without explicitly saying it that i have no doubt that the writers intended her to be trans. off the top of my head:

• she has a trans pride flag in her room. this could just mean she’s a cis ally, but there are almost certainly fewer cis people flying the trans flag than trans people
• her entire color scheme is white, pink, and blue. could be coincidental, but considering how intentional so even the most minor visual details are throughout the series, i refuse to believe that they didn’t consider the potential implications of that choice when deciding on the color palette for one of the main characters (and her entire universe)
• her dad has a trans pride flag on his police uniform. again, he is a cop. with very few exceptions, cops simply are not trans allies, and certainly not to the point that they’d show it off on the job - unless, perhaps, maybe one of their family members is trans…
• having your hair turn into the trans pride flag while having a heartfelt speech about having to hide half of yourself from the people you love is about as subtle as a brick

again, considering these movies have so much thought put into the most minute graphical elements, i simply cannot imagine a way that they could’ve managed to accidentally surround a character whose entire story is a clear trans allegory with so much blatantly obvious trans imagery. of course there’s no way it could ever be said out loud, but what they’ve done with Spider-Gwen goes very far beyond the usual “transcoding” or “queercoding” of characters in media.

¹ unless the character being trans is portrayed as a joke in and of itself, in which case it’s apparently totally fine!

i figured it was such a small amount of text that it’d take less time to do manually than it would to track down the original source of the meme (if any exists - it could’ve just been someone messing around with browser devtools or the wikipedia editor preview), but i severely underestimated how hard it is to quickly transcribe text when every second word has been horribly mangled

considering she literally has a trans pride flag hanging above the door in her bedroom, i’m gonna say it’s a little bit more than just allegory

i considered posting this in !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone, but decided against it on the basis that not all trans people have been eaten by snakes prior to their transition so it might not be relatable

i’m curious, and the wikipedia articles for domestic pigs or feral pigs don’t seem to make any reference to this. if this is actually real, what’s the mechanism for this change? the only thing i can think of that would make sense would be that it’s dietary, but the pigs at the farm up the hill from me spend most of their time foraging around their very large enclosure, and they still seem pretty tusk-less and stereotypically pink as any domestic pig.

who’s the other spider-person in the foreground

In that case you can use --log-driver=syslog. There are quite a few other options to choose from :)

Out of interest, why is overlayfs out of the question? If it’s because you’re running rootless and you’re running an older kernel which doesn’t allow non-root users to create overlayfs mounts, there’s always the fuse-overlayfs driver, which is functionally the same but emulates it in userspace using a FUSE driver. Finally, the vfs driver should ALWAYS work, although it comes at the cost of not being able to share storage between image layers. Also if you’re on ZFS there’s a zfs driver for that which uses ZFS volumes (same idea as the subvolume approach on btrfs). There’s more information on the docs if you’re interested, and I’m pretty sure podman has a similar suite of options.

uh… yes, you can? docker doesn’t even log to journald by default, and you can also just do docker run --log-driver=none ... if you want to completely disable saving any logs.

edit: there are also a bunch of alternate storage systems, i have docker set up to use btrfs subvolumes

oh no, maria got her hands on so many noodles that she’s gone mad with power!

enjoy your big box of noodles, may it give you many yummies :)

In addition to what the other commenter said, I want to add that the inverse is also true - intentionally or not, women tend to step out of the way for men a lot more often. If you spend some time peoplewatching on a busy sidewalk, there seems to be a kind of unwritten social hierarchy of “which person needs to step out of the other person’s way”, which most of the time seems to be something along the lines of tall man > short man > short woman > tall woman. This has led me to an interesting realization - before I started transitioning I used to have a lot of encounters (often multiple times a day) where both myself and someone else step out of each other’s way and then do that funny little back-and-forth dance until we figure out who’s staying in place. The other person in these situations was almost always a woman, and this hardly happens anymore when I’m presenting fem (but still happens a lot when I’m boymoding). Apparently I’d subconsciously figured out my placement in the sidewalk etiquette hierarchy years before consciously realizing that I wasn’t a guy!

TIL i’ve had it backwards all this time. oh well, guess i’ll just add it to the mountain of “basic aspects of basic human interaction that i will now be overthinking on manual mode for the rest of my life” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

any woman who gives you shit over showing weakness is just as toxic as those alpha male losers, just cut 'em off :)
