  • His fursona is some sort of alien avian raptor thing made out of nitrogen or something.

    I don’t have one as I’m only in it for the porn.

  • Is this the lemmy equivalent of “I don’t allow Facebook to sell my photos they’re all property of me”?

  • Yeah. The main reason I could think of is if you use Firefox Sync. I actually do have that on my iPad, though it’s rare that I’ll ever open something on my PC and then resume it on my iPad.

  • I asked my roomie who is into cutesy furry stuff. He grimaced and said that some thoughts are best left unshared.

    Neither of us are very fond of the idea of human tails.

  • Oh yeah, I'm in touch with the staff there, and other people who have adopted from the rescue. They're doing great work. They sometimes have events and meetups, even here in my country.

    My sestra is my adopted sister.

  • I would, but it's the only way I can keep in touch with the rescue my dog came from, and the most convenient way to keep in touch with my sestra.

  • Best thing is how Facebook loves to shove those posts in your face.

    "REMEMBER THIS POST FROM 2011???"

    No, I didn't, and I don't appreciate the reminder.

  • Tacos.

  • Yeah that's my takeaway from that argument as well. If you have to be threatened by some vague notion of a future punishment in order to not be a complete dickwad, you're clearly not a good person.

    Why be good if there's no hell? Because to live is to suffer. Society sucks. Accepting that, working past it, and being kind to those around you makes everything slightly more bearable. You are to be kind to others because it's the right thing to be.

  • Well I suppose the question really is; how many Firefox iOS/iPad OS are there in the EU and does that amount of users make it worth maintaining another 1-2 apps for the EU market, while dealing with Apple's shenanigans? Like Firefox Browser for iOS and iPad, as well as Firefox Focus are already 2 apps, if you want to replace the back-end specifically for the EU you'd have to maintain that back-end, deal with Apple working against you, and maintain separate versions of those apps specifically for the EU.

    It's worth noting that Firefox for iOS is already leaps and bounds behind Firefox for Android in terms of UX. There are features missing that they could add regardless of whether they are using WKWebView or not, but they haven't, either because Apple doesn't want competition, or because they don't consider the Firefox browser on iOS to be particularly high priority.

    If the latter, why on Earth would they port Gecko to iOS/iPad OS when a vanishingly small subset of users might use it? I am a European Firefox user, but I don't use Firefox on iOS because the UX compared to Safari is incredibly lacklustre. Switching the back-end to Gecko wouldn't do anything to fix that.

  • I don’t see third party engines making it to the market unless the US also slams down some regulations. How many Firefox users are there in the EU? How many use iOS, and how many of those are likely to use the iOS version of Firefox? Is it worth maintaining two to four separate apps for this?

  • Everyone gets off at the slutstation.

  • I think mixing tech and nudity is awesome! I love getting dickpics!

  • Gender isn't sexuality.

    The prefixes cis- and trans- are rooted in Latin, and is commonly used in chemistry to describe the geometry of a molecule. The terms mean "this side of" and "opposite side of" respectively. It's the same trans you see in "transatlantic", as in "far side of the atlantic ocean", and indeed the word "cisatlantic" is also in the dictionary.

    So that's precisely what trans-and-cisgender means. A cisgender person is someone who identifies "on the same side" of the gender they were assigned at birth, ergo they identify as their birthgender.

    They're not terms you need to identify with or use. They're simply terms used to make a clear distinction in conversation where such a distinction is necessary.

  • I suppose technically instead of transgender we could use heterogender, meaning we'd say homogender instead of cisgender. The only time you'd use these terms (and similar ones, like AFAB/AMAB) is in specific situations where the nuance distinguishing the two matters.

    You don't have to use the terms either. It's fully acceptable to just call people men and women, particularly in contexts where their assigned sex doesn't matter, which I'd wager for most people is pretty much all the time.

  • We could also just change the terms. Transgender becomes heterogender, and cisgender becomes homogender. Bit of a mouthful but since homo and hetero are in the common vernacular, it's bound to erase all confusion that cis- and trans- comes with.

  • Yeah I definitely get that. I also get why people don't like Biden. He really oughtn't be president, neither of them ought be candidates, but when the option is between him and Trump, going with Biden is a no-brainer. Trump is literally working to dismantle democracy. He doesn't want people to have a choice, and the choice that you Americans face is laughable as it is.

  • That's why the saying goes "Well I am here to fuck spiders."
