Your comment makes it clear there is confusion. To clear it up, using singular they to refer to a specific, known individual is never something Shakespeare did, and is a recent invention. It's not transphobic to be grumpy about people trying to introduce a new usage for an existing word. People as a whole don't like change.
This misses an important distinction that singular they was never used to refer to a known, specific individual until recently, and was certainly never used by Shakespeare that way.
See my other comments in this thread as well, but using singular they to refer to a specific, known individual was never something that Shakespeare did, and that is the usage that people are up in arms about. Your example uses singular they to refer to an unknown person, which is a usage that's been around for centuries, yes.
Your confusion here is exactly what I'm trying to clear up. We know the gender of the person in the Shakespeare quote you linked to ("man"), but nothing else. It's a placeholder term that doesn't refer to a specific, known individual. Shakespeare never said anything like "Here's Frank, they're a cool guy", that would be considered ungrammatical until a few years ago.
You're confusing two different usages. Singular they to refer to an unknown or undetermined person has centuries-old usage, yes. Using it to refer to a known single person is an invention of the last few years.
Lots of people talk past each other on this. Singular they to refer to a known single person is an invention of the last few years and is the thing that a lot of people are up in arms about. It gets confused with the centuries-old usage of using it to refer to an unknown or undetermined person. Your first example is in line with the latter, and your second example is the new usage. TBH I'd be confused by your second example. Is Frank part of some larger group that doesn't know what they're talking about? Or is it only Frank that doesn't know what he's talking about?
You might actually get something out of converting it to html. Easily editable with a basic text editor, you can link to anywhere in the document, and you can view it nicely in any browser.
I've looked for cameras that are easier to use and I can trust, and didn't really find anything. You're getting spied on by creepy tech bros in a startup that sells your video to the cops, or a random Chinese company that does who knows what with it, take your pick. Also maybe the whole world if you end up on shodan because the S in "IoT" stands for security.
Honestly, a good privacy policy, and even a good history of standing up to law enforcement as per the review means nothing to me. They could easily be bought out by vulture capitalists that do whatever they want with the data. Or they get a nice NSL in the mail and it doesn't matter what the executives think they stand for. You should own your health data.
I expect it's pretty close to the same demographic as early Reddit, left-leaning technologists. The Reddit dickery has given it a smattering of "everyone else" as they've been migrating away from Reddit.
That's the important bit. The creators of Lemmy needed to be hard leftist to keep it from being taken over by right wingers before it could become popular. Now it's big enough that the community isn't as leftist as the creators, but will still reject turning into another voat.
Sure, I think we agree?
