  • It's not really a factual observation to nitpick an analogy? As well, considering the org looks to be South African based, it also might be that your ascribing western values here when they don't fit.

  • There are plenty of healthy ways to perform masculinity. If all you've managed to understand from that discourse is "all masculinity is toxic" then I'm afraid you just haven't been paying attention. Toxic masculinity is when young men are taught that the only way to be a man is to be strong, outgoing, possessive, stoic, unemotional and tall (among other things). Toxic masculinity is when men that don't fit those stereotypes are beaten down, verbally, but often physically, because they don't conform. Because they're gay, have "effeminate" hobbies, are short, weak, empathetic, dress sharply, you name it. It's also harmful to women, but more than anything it's men hurting other men for nonconformance.

    Btw why do we never hear about toxic femininity?

    Because it's not a deeply structural societal issue? Before I transitioned, I faced the effects of toxic masculinity every single day, dozens if not hundreds of times a day. Meanwhile, yeah, my conformance to femininity has absolutely been questioned post-transition, but nowhere near as much. Women and girls have spent the last two centuries working through the toxic and smothering nature of traditional femininity, as much as the patriarchal nature of society had allowed us too.

  • Not that I disagree with the spirit of what you're saying, but bluesky is not even close to a "massive" corporation. According to this they have a net worth of $7.23m, going as low as $600k in October last year. I know of plenty of local restaurants and other small businesses with a higher net worth than that.

  • This has all the energy of the Texas furry ban.

  • It's not really a fact you can just "point out" though? You're pointing out that an analogy is flawed, it just seems pedantic...

  • Lighten up? There's obviously context we're missing, and the image was created by an org that works with children. I'd imagine the comparison with animals is to help neurodivergent children have a sense of reference if they aren't emotionally aware. It's also pretty clear this material isn't made to help neurotypicals "understand & accept" us.

  • Genuinely addictive as hell! Gives me Balatro vibes in the way it takes a traditional game and flips it on its head, the OST and the art style. The soundtrack is awesome.

  • Yeah, the secret here is Bazzite honestly. If a game will run on Linux, then it'll run with minimal setup on Bazzite.

  • Yes, and for a much simpler reason than everyone here: It's the law!

  • No, there are a lot of us who are quite left-leaning but abhor tankie-style communism. I'm personally more democratic socialist, though living in a country like Australia means that's not just a pipe-dream.

  • 4 largest cities? By what metric? Surely it wouldn't even come close on area, let alone population...

  • Where the heck do you live that it gets to -40° on a regular basis? You'd have to be pretty close to the arctic or antarctic circles for that.

  • No, they're included with, and updated by, the OS. But they are the proprietary ones that are available on Nvidia's website.

  • I'm running Bazzite on KDE Wayland with the proprietary Nvidia drivers just fine. I think you've got another issue causing this.

  • I think it's kind of devastating they killed off the iPhone Mini. I have larger hands, so the regular (non-Max) size is fine for me, but I know a couple folks with small hands that swear by theirs.

  • Huh, thanks. That works from iOS to my Bazzite desktop flawlessly.
