Sorry that I neglected your comment, but my response to the neighboring comment applies here as well.

I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it’s definitely not as “backhanded” as the other one. In fact, that “compliment”, especially in the context of the meme, implies they didn’t realize the person is transgender until it was somehow pointed out explicitly, because of the whole “wow, you’re trans?” part.

I kinda see your point, but I think context is important here. For many trans people, part of transitioning includes working toward presenting as their identified gender, and that process can take time and effort. So when someone says “you look good for a trans man/woman”, in a clumsy way, it might be meant as recognition of that effort, like saying, “you look exactly how you hoped to". Which is completely different from automatically assuming that all women are stupid for being women.

Isn’t this about “you look good for a trans man/woman”?

“You’re smart for a woman” is just straight up sexist and demeaning, while the former “compliment”, maybe not as flattering to some as the giver intends, does not imply any prejudice.

I saw list item 1 more as “I want my phone to last for 5+ years, so I will want to replace my battery eventually”, rather than “I wanna wreck my battery fast, so it better be replaceable”. Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.

2.5 years isn’t that long to evaluate battery degradation IMO, and as you said, you mostly don’t even push your battery that hard. And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it’s just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.

Surely, that impacts the battery longevity, right? Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.

P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.

Why do you need 120 watts charging for a phone? Most laptops don’t even support 100w.

I know that avatar cause that user works on Analogue Pocket FPGA cores.

Electromagnets engage when you release the mouse.

I don’t remember Rimi. Is it new or was it just small back then? The two main ones were Maxima and iki.

Happy cake day, btw.

Ok, thanks! Good to know there’s a backup plan. For now Arc still works fine, just no updates anymore.

Does any other browser let me open 2 windows with the same synced tabs? Also, permanent per-space tabs, please.

Yeah, what’s up with Latvia? Why would people mass-download a grocery store app? Besides, iki is better. At least it was 10 years ago. Do they still have iki?

If we are being pedantic, Trills are a bad analogy for transsexuals. Every new Trill host is a brand new person with only the memories (with some extras) of the previous hosts. This distinction is emphasized in several episodes. So while Klingons are rather hyper-traditionalists, they can’t really complain about a person having another person’s memories.

Btw, that Nathan Fillion gif is from Castle and not Firefly.

Oh right, didn’t pay enough attention. But it was the first thing I saw in the morning.

Shouldn’t 7/10" actually be 7/20"?

My parents wanted me to become Dr. Doctor. But I’m merely a Mr. Mister. So take these broken wings.
