Oh, yeah, that stuff makes me mad dizzy.

I'm a developer as well, but I think we're comparing professional literacy to general user literacy. I think we should be fine save some new form factor (idk, fucking AR, I guess?) or paradigm that upends UI design in our 60s

On a unrelated note. Had no clue you could have emoji in a user name on Lemmy. Might reroll just for that tbh.

Oh yeah, I usually mod games like WoW or w.e. so the file structure lends to it being easily modded.

Hmm. This case comes up for me regularly. I usually have a hidden file on level lower than my home directory that is linked to the directory in question. I then launch nautilus, and drag and drop as needed.

If it happens often enough I create a bash script that automatically launches nautilus at that location.

Is it better? Prolly not, but it's how I do it 😅

In response to the edit: I notice you pivoted from it being a function of "maturity" and placement relative to puberty, to now wrapping it in concern of the gov't - some how - surpressing "lgbtq rights" by teaching about their existence, which is a contradictory stance, but w.e.

Look, my sister's trans, my mothers are gay, and I'm the straight dood in my family. I'm not in a hivemind, and my experience watching them wade through life informs my thoughts. Your appeal that people who disagree with you are in one is troubling, to say the least.

Heck, you didn't even address a few anecdotes of people being precisely in the age range you had issue with, and instead chose to take a different tact -- instead doubling down you are correct.

I usually click around the gui like a ham-fisted animal

I search in the terminal.

The tasks are separate for me. I usually launch the explorer at pwd to do my clicks, and close it.

I'll test this stuff out of curiosity later tonight!!

It occurs to me now I never searched for anything through the explorer.

Really? I haven't had any issues. What was wrong with the file explorer.

That being said, my system is base Fedora plus a few extensions.

I'm unsure. I switch between MacOS and Linux regularly.

I'd reckon Apple's OS would dominate the "user friendly" space(not saying Linux is bad, just what everyone memes).

My sister "knew" she was trans when she was around 8. Granted, we didn't have the terminology back then so...

That being said, how is it a "mature" topic? We teach children the concept of "this boy" and "this girl" much earlier than that. And I'm confused how the concept has anything to do with puberty either.

Strange. I haven't had issues with NewPipe

Right?

I just fly Delta cause parents can't afford it 🤷 Problem solved.

For sure. If this phone were to come out I'd immediately regret getting the base 15.

Just want USB-C and iOS, dog.

For my own understanding, I want to have it explained to me how it was unhinged!

Granted, voicing the take as I did pertaining to Manchin likely isn't the smartest due to his electorate demographics, but I can recall a few cases where Democrat party officials threw their weight behind more center primary candidates as an appeal towards the center.

Edit: I suppose my umbrige is with how those candidates coincidentally happen to favor neo-liberal tendencies and don't advocate for working class or on environmental issues. Cause, man, what a dream it would be to have an actual left party as opposed to a center and right.

Ah, you're right! I misread you!

These are good points, and maybe I was less articulate because I was responding to the article grumpily. A more accurate statement would be "I'm sick of pundits and beltway liberals telling me what policy positions aren't 'possible' while being wildly popular amongst the electorate on both sides of the political spectrum. Instead of running on that they opt to play percentage points, message on issues that don't upset their donors, and drift the party's platform increasingly in the interest of the corpos over decades as they back candidates closer to the center instead."

Now, Manchin might not be the best candidate to voice this opinion on: because electorally, you're right, the partisan bias was too great in that state. But, man, I heard the quote from an Obama staffer during the Georgia run-off: "Stacy Abrams is teaching us the power of directly campaigning on improving material conditions." I was gob smacked that they spoke about this as though it was a revelation. If you want the exact quote I can dig through my podcasts and find it.

However, I might push back slightly on him appearing in a legislation event as some virtuous gesture. He himself was instrumental in including little exceptions in previous bills for auctioning off land for drilling, explorations for new drill sites, and continues to push that our reliance on oil as a place borne of pragmatism and not at all influenced by his donations.

This is part of the reason I bicker with Liberals about appealing to electoralism all the damn time. Great, we technically got a "D" win, but the party installed a senator that doesn't vote with the party and pulls the senate more "center" as they try to scoop up disaffected conservatives. So, they effectively installed their own opposition. Well done.

Very much the smartest people in the room.

Note: venting, and I'm not talking about individuals just the collective "wisdom" of belt-way liberals.

It's interesting you claim "they certainly haven't had a user noticeable change for the last six years", and then cite a feature addition "on android" which was implemented on the iPhone 13.
