Why doesn't autistic identity follow the same format as LGBT identity?

    The T being added in is what? Maybe fifteen years old?

    This didn't sound right to me, I'm sure I heard LGBT more than 15 years ago, so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia LGBT was first used around 1988 but OED says 1992, other sources say it became widespread in either the 90s or 00s (varies by source). So 15 is a lower bound for widespread usage but I don't think we can get much more specific than "15 to 35 years ago".

    The fact it's a long game isn't an issue, the problem is that it's long and bad. A winner is usually determined pretty early on but then there's still half an hour of random rolls as everyone slowly loses their money. That's why house rules are mostly adding safety nets, the game's already over and it's just not fun running around a board watching your numbers go down. Since house rules don't change the core gameplay they don't fix the game and just make it drag even longer.

    There's some very good long games and some very good short games, how long a game is doesn't determine how good it is.

    If you're pressing a button and want to cancel you can pretty much universally just move off the button before releasing the press and it won't trigger the action. Works 99% of the time with a mouse, almost as often with a touch interface. Some custom-coded buttons will action on start press (not great imo) and some buttons do some other action on a long press, but if you're holding it and nothing else has happened just dragging off is safe enough.

    It doesn't read that way to me, but either way my point still stands. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing something you like, and calling that "wasting adulthood" is incredibly fucked up.

    The last line is literally telling people they are terrible for enjoying themselves. There is no excuse for that.

    Jesus Christ, this is toxic as fuck. You are not a bad person for enjoying life. You are not a bad person for being happy or seeking happiness. Excessive consumerism isn't great but you are still not a bad person for owning things. You are definitely not a bad person for trying to improve your life or the life of people around you.

    I have no idea why they decided to attack renewable energy, it's undeniably better than the fossil fuel systems it's to replace. They say they're against alternative energy immediately after complaining that a third of the world has no electricity. This doesn't even make sense! They don't want you to make electricity available to people, they just want you to feel bad about it.

    Inequality sucks, but you are still allowed to enjoy things.

    What does make you a bad person is actively seeking to make other people's lives worse. For instance, making a comic with the sole intention of shitting on people just living their lives.

    That approach seems ineffective to me, you'd end up with situations where every mod wastes time responding to the same thing or where no mod responds at all because they assume someone else will handle it.

    Imo a better starting point is a hidden text post which notifies mods of a community.

    There definitely are rules to language, which are determined by how the language is actually used. The issue with prescriptivists is that they invent their own rules which often go against how the language is used, i.e. the rules are nonsense.

    Take the "less vs fewer" argument. Everyone happily uses 'less' in pretty much the same way for nearly a millennium, then some prescriptivist asswipe comes along and says they don't like it so now there's a rule. Prescriptivists spend the next couple of centuries yelling about their new rule and creaming themselves over how they're now 'better' at the language than other people while everyone else just doesn't give a fuck and continue to speak normally.

    In the end language is just a tool to communicate ideas. If you clearly understood someone but whine because they ignored your made up rules you're the asshole.

    But at some point, it’ll either generate original content on its own, or rely on content already created by other AI.

    What you're describing there is called model collapse and it's not a good thing. A generative AI ouroboros accumulates error until its output is useless.

    Good news! You can buy Murder Harem: Furry's Vore Safari Edition (if that's what you're into) on Steam and nobody would ever know as long as you mark it as private while it's in your basket! Assuming it works as they say you'll still be able to play the game as normal but nobody else would know unless they directly log in to your account.

    The faq doesn't mention the new Steam Family stuff though. I'm guessing it'll at least be hidden for parent accounts, but since parent accounts can control game access for child accounts that might not be as private?

    According to a quick search, the US has the 6th highest incarnation rate per capita but is only 148th lowest in intentional homicide rate. Obviously this is far from conclusive but it suggests there's no strong correlation. There are likely much more significant factors than how prison-happy a country is.

    This isn't exactly an in depth study so I could still be wrong, but it's much more convincing than just some assurance from a random stranger on the internet.

    You clearly didn't bother to read anything I wrote (or you completely lack reading comprehension), but I'll give it one more shot.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zucchini

    This article is about the vegetable. For other uses, see Zucchini (disambiguation).

    In cookery, it is treated as a vegetable, usually cooked and eaten as an accompaniment or savory dish, though occasionally used in sweeter cooking.

    A 1928 report on vegetables grown in New York State treats 'Zucchini' as one among 60 cultivated varieties of C. pepo.

    In France, zucchini is a key ingredient in ratatouille, a stew of summer vegetable-fruits and vegetables prepared in olive oil and cooked for an extended time over low heat.

    In 2005, a poll of 2,000 people revealed it to be Britain's 10th favorite culinary vegetable.

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vegetable

    : a usually herbaceous plant (such as the cabbage, bean, or potato) grown for an edible part that is usually eaten as part of a meal
    also : such an edible part

    Posting this link again because you didn't read it.

    Culinary vegetables unarguably exist since we're referring to a physical thing which indisputably exists. I have seen a courgette before, I can confirm vegetables do in fact exist. You're arguing that they don't exist because you disagree with the words used to refer to them, which is also wrong. The fact many people use the culinary definition of vegetable when referring to courgettes means that the culinary definition of vegetable is correct; language is defined by how it's used.

    Vegetables exist. The culinary definition of vegetable also exists. The fact you don't like that definition is irrelevant.

    The first sentence of your article says cryptids aren't real, vegetables do exist and we interact with them every day. I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make. If someone tells you their name is Bob but fails to cite a source that does not mean Bob doesn't exist.

  • Not sure exactly how long this has been happening, but it's been bugging me for the last week at least. Running Firefox 129.0 (64-bit) on Linux Mint, it seems like the login session is just constantly expiring. Every time I boot up my machine the first time I open programming.dev I have to sign in again. Closing all programming.dev tabs and navigating back to programming.dev without closing Firefox seems to always preserve the session and not require a new sign-in. ~~Closing all Firefox windows then opening Firefox and navigationg to programming.dev is a semi-reliable way to reproduce, about 75% of the time it requires a new sign-in even when I'd signed in less then a minute ago before closing the window.~~ Further testing shortly before submitting this post and those steps no longer reproduce the issue, I'm signed in even after closing the window. Maybe it's a recurring transient issue with login service? Potentially relevant add-ons are UBlock Origin (0 blocks, shouldn't be an issue) and Privacy Badger (also 0 trackers blocked). I'm connected through VPN, but the issue seems to appear regardless of whether I stay on the same VPN server or switch servers. Firefox reports Content-Security-Policy issues but these seem unrelated and also appear when the session is successfully preserved. ![](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fprogramming.dev%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fdfc87970-7c3c-4b57-87e2-556f555928c6.png) Possibly helpful, occasionally when I open programming.dev I'll see it's signed out then automatically signs in after a second or so; this might have been a known Lemmy issue at some point with delayed authentication as a (now insufficient) solution. A good chance that's a dead-end, might be worth checking anyway. Edit: It's worth noting that I'm also signed in via the android Jerboa app on another device and don't get signed out there. This could definitely be relevant if it turns out the Jerboa session somehow interferes with the Firefox session.
