  • Maybe there's some advantage even because for the ones I've used a lot i know at a glance which part of steam they're in, which wouldn't be as easy if the only difference was the text. And each part of steam is usually internally consistent, at least mostly.

  • If only this was true, but for some reason midnight is 12 am. And noon is 12 pm (I'm aware that the reason is that 12:00:00.00001 is in the second half of the day. I just think it should be called 0 pm).

  • I have literally not seen a bad community note on twitter. Which isn't to say they don't exist, clearly you just see different posts from me. Though ime overall they seem to work better than the sorry excuse for moderation twitter had before, and it's pretty much the only change that piece of shit made that I consider positive. Well that and likes not being public.

  • Ah yea I'm the opposite, I'm always too warm to the point where I'll often be out in a t shirt while most people are wearing jackets over a sweatshirt, so skirts would just be optimal.

    It's not even as much of a safety issue for me (since while I'm actually super weak I do not look that way at all), but my social anxiety just won't allow that.

    All the best to you to, may you continue to be comfy.

  • Skirts are hella comfortable tho. Super easy to put on too. Would absolutely be my legwear of choice (at least outside of winter) if I could do that without people thinking I'm weird.

  • Overall I've been routinely surprised that dw seems to be doing far more neutral reporting and investigative journalism regarding israel than the supposedly independent ÖR, where most of what I've seen feels rather biased.

    Maybe it really is some internal strife, or maybe DW just employs better journalists sticking to their ethics, or a mix of things.

  • I have very positive experience with that thing actually. It fixed many a wifi issue for me (interestingly, while also saying it couldn't find the issue. It just fixed it. Probably ran something as part of its diagnostics that happened to also fix the problem)

  • Yea, they just have to enforce it, not make sensible rules. Just let them do their jobs in peace and go petition the relevant aviation authorities if it bothers you that much.

  • Yea pretty much. I have no idea if going inside just to throw stuff away is considered ok (always felt a bit weird) but for the most part it's not too bad to find a place to throw stuff away.

  • They don't even have that, they just have seperate bins for cans and bottles and people use them, and the only public places to throw away trash are in convenience stores. Which tbf exist like every 400m.

    There are exceptions but generally people just keep the city clean because they want to (and social pressure).

    Bottle/can deposit system can do a lot to make bins less full though. Japan just doesn't seem to need it.

  • I feel like this still slightly misses the problem. I couldn't give less of a shit whether they do or don't make money from my data, I care that they are tracking so many things for that purpose that I can be identified and many lifestyle habits are visible, which is a problem when the data ends up with someone who wants to use it to spy on me. Which probably has never targeted me specifically, but my data is almost certainly in a tool capable of this. Because this happens frequently.

    Of course this happens because they want to make money from it and sell it, but even if they only want it to idk customize my feed to make me like their website more and it never leaves their server, I'd still have to worry about data breaches. Or just someone else taking over and deciding that selling it is great, actually.

    And even though I have decided that I personally don't really care enough to deal with the downsides for quality of life, that doesn't mean I don't want this to stop via legal means.

  • I knew about the gap but... no indicator either??? Are they at least locked so the worst case scenario is thay awkward moment where you try to open a locked bathroom stall?

    I'm planning on visiting next year so I guess I'll see the reality of it. Maybe I'll have to avoid public toilets even more than usual lol

  • As a german I have never seen this but whichever country is doing that has things figured out.

    To be clear we do still have proper stalls, it's just that bathrooms are always gendered unless it's a really small place that only has one toilet in the first place.

  • Depending on what games you play it's anywhere from unusable (games with incompatible anticheat) to flat out better than windows even ignoring all the surrounding bullshit. But many of these gsmes with anticheat are among the most popular games in the world, so there's plenty of reason not to change just bc of those for a lot of people.

  • People do this with artists too. Especially the moment you offer anything in the way of free commissions for a specific community and such.

    Many forums had gfx threads, where members who enjoy putting together banners and such would offer to make something for those who asked. A good friend of mine ran one in a certain game's forum for a while and the absolute entitlement in which some of those people acted (in regards to speed and nitpicking about minor things) was disgusting. It was maybe 1 in 25 people but it soured the whole thing for her, understandably so. The moment you give people a little finger wrt their requests, one of those people will take the whole hand. The same likely applies to modding.

    And I'm sure being a woman doing gaming stuff isn't helping because there's way too much sexism in gaming culture, even though there are also a lot of subcommunities that are super welcoming to everyone.

  • Those will always be a small part. If it's culturally clear what is harrassment and shouldn't be tolerated, it's far more likely that 1) there are actual consequences to sexual harrassment because victims feel comfortable speaking up and 2) that bystanders will try to intervene. Both of which make it less likely for anyone to even try.

    When speaking up is met with "you dressed wrong", "he was just trying to get to know you", that is the core problem. Adding "you were on the wrong train car" isn't necessarily helpful.

    Japans women-only cars are sadly necessary, but the focus should be on making them unnecessary, not adding gender segregation in more places.
