All of this is just retroactive attempts to delineate the two labels after the concept of being transgender started to become understood by a wider portion of the public (and the queer community, for that matter). Don’t let faux-academic definitions define your identity. If “bisexual” feels like it fits but gender-nonconforming, agender, androgynous-presenting, and/or genderfluid people are also your thing, that’s entirely fine.

(Edit: and it doesn’t in any way invalidate other people’s self-labeling when they categorize it differently to you. Labels are only there to simplify communication of ideas. They’re not a sports team.)

Plenty in French too! And this is just English; my point is that loanwords are super common.

It’s what every language does, to some extent. You’d really struggle to say, “I was working from home, sending emails and providing feedback, and during a meeting with my team and the marketing manager, the internet died” in German without stuffing the sentence to the brim with English loanwords.

The study is a little old, but this is why Bedouins wear loose black clothing in the desert.

I’m just grateful they didn’t go with the Gall-Peters, which often seems to be the favorite alternative, but always feels to me like it distorts almost every country.

Slightly older, more poetic version by author Dan Sheehan:

Oh, this is something that just happened! That’s sad – the ability to minimise Twitter traffic was valuable. I won’t link directly to their site instead.

It was a bullfrog tadpole with a probable hormone imbalance. Its name was Goliath.

I kind of hope they make a Sims 5 that has limits on what female characters can aspire to, no LGBT+ relationships, etc, purely for the backlash that would ensue. It’s a big ecosystem that they could really screw up.

Kind of - it’s the step that makes the data uniform and (nominally) useful so it can then be aggregated and reported on.

I realize this is the wrong community to post it in, but I can imagine it being useful for things like summarization and cursory sentiment analysis, and perhaps for chaotic test data generation.

As with all AI, though, it’s a wildly risky tool as it requires the user to understand its limitations and fallibility (as well as the million other issues AI brings with it).

Sink It for Reddit is a really solid Firefox and Chrome browser extension to remove nags and other fluff. There’s also an iOS Safari extension.

Sorry, you probably don’t care! I always figure if I’ve looked it up myself (out of curiosity) then I might as well share what I found.

Origin appears to be an 1880 mosaic by the Venice & Murano stained glass company in Venice, depicting the Last Supper. It’s a little over a meter across, and was bought by a Melbourne gallery in 1888.

Tidal pay artists more than most platforms, and over four times as much per stream as Spotify. That’s not to say it’s not still part of a broken system, but most other platforms are worse.

I don’t know about elsewhere, but in the UK they’re normally a bit more expensive and marketed as “takeaway style”. They’re generally superior, but they need a stone or tray, a hotter oven, and more time to cook.

Just got to check if it needs a baking tray or not.

You can normally tell by sight if it’s raw dough or if the base has already been baked, but opening your oven to find your pizza doing an impression of the terminator from T2 down through your wire shelf is a sad experience.

I can’t find the link on mobile, but this has been analyzed to death already on Lemmy. It’s generated.

This sign is generated. Check the bottom of the M in “bamboo”, the leaves on the diagram, and the weird spot left of the last line.
