You can search for her takes on trans people and that will probably, but basically against basic things like gender-affirming care and positing that trans is a social fad amongst youth.

Arguably, many people groups indigenous to what is now the US (and often times into Canada and Mexico as well) were each their own countries and sometimes joined into confederacies (for example the Iroquois Confederacy and some others). I do think indigenous voices frequently get lost (and that does need fixing), but I don’t know if there’s value in representing them as a single unit as though they were a single nation before. Many groups came over at different times, migrated around, etc. They’re not even all in the same macro language families (and may have come from separate peopling events, but that’s a whole other can of worms).

I started to write a novel, but suffice it to say that I left nearly a decade ago and many things seem to be getting worse rather than better.

Binging with Babish - the content just drifted away. He started doing a show with another guy and I just didn’t watch those episodes. Then, the content went further and I stopped watching.

Joshua Weissman - he just became insufferable at some point. I liked his older content.

Shadiversity, Sabine Hossenfelder - they have positions that cause hurt to people and that I morally do not agree with and won’t give watch time or ad/sub money to. There are probably more here, but I don’t recall. They’re welcome to their opinions, but I’m not entitled to view them or fund them.

First we Feast - mostly watched it for Hot Ones (the Motz’s stuff was fantastic!) but I got tired of Hot Ones, didn’t know most of the guests for a long stretch (not living in the US or really consuming US media made me lose track of things). I also kinda got burnt out on the format.

Linus Tech Tips - to me, it just became the arrogant, egotistical Linus show. There was some other stuff that kinda put me off as well. Maybe it’s better now, but I haven’t watched in a long while at this point.

A number of creators I’m not thinking of - I hate when prescription meds are advertised (which isn’t even legal in the vast majority of countries) and how they just want to sell dick pills without a real, non-conflict-of-interest doctor involved when the cause may not even be physical. I worked in healthcare for a long time and that just rubbed me the wrong way, particularly when creators in countries where it would be illegal for them on TV do it (and it may not even be legal/available in their country but it is in the country of at least US-based audience members).

Edit: and the 8-bit guy now, based on others mentioning things, checking other sources, and even checking up a follow-up video he made a year ago. I’ll pass.

He got locked out of his youtube income for a loooong time and had a rough time with it. He also had some legal issues that prevented him from doing some of the videos he used to do. I don’t watch it as much as I used to, but I still watch some.

Me, living in Japan: that’s cheap for pizza and a side!

Not even any places deliver to where I live now so I have to drive a couple towns over.

I live in rural Japan, so that may take a while, heh. Thanks, though!

McDonald’s pizza. Technically like 1 location still makes it. It’s mostly just a big nostalgia hit for me.

A Rax roast beef sandwich.

Wendy’s pitas. When I worked there in the mid-90s, they had pitas that I quite liked.

Now I want fast food, but it’s not worth the hour to get to McD’s and back.

As someone who spent many years as a Perl developer, I immediately recognized the incantations to the regex gods of old, heh. Great explanation!

JapanLife and JapanFinance. Tons of knowledge for people living in Japan where language, the legal system, etc. all are much easier to navigate with the help of people who have been here. They never really got off the ground in the fediverse and are the only reason I still go to reddit.

Thanks for explaining! I haven’t set foot in a datacenter since probably 2008ish, heh.

Yeah, I had never seen a connector that looks anything like that, but I figured I was just behind the times (since it didn’t look like Ethernet plugged into it to me)

I moved from social to run a few months ago after being fed up. I like it.

As a programmer, I don’t even know what we’re looking at. A switch, I would guess, but I haven’t seen hardware in years. In any case wouldn’t “port 21 <bottom|top>” been better?

Reduce to a sane number. Like less than 20.

I have an m3 now (I had an m1. I later found out about 3 other laptops had issues around the same time so I actually suspect something weird in remote management, but I don’t know mac well enough to assert that more). They decided that since I technically, however frustratingly and measurably more slowly, can do my work, it’s not worth the “security risk”. I still bring it up at basically every opportunity and I’m not the only one. I live in a very remote area of Japan and remote jobs are hard to come by, so, at the same time, I’m not making too much noise.

I had some success with this, but ran into some issues as well that also made it annoying. The first laptop the gave me died and I lost all that progress and haven’t tried again since.

That really depends on the person, I think. I last used mac in like 2003 until last year with my new job. I hate almost everything about it. Nothing works the way I expect it to. I love clicking on an app in the dock just to have it… not show up? It gains focus and, wherever it is, will have input if I’m typing. Same with command+tab sometimes. I also can’t switch between fullscreen windows of the same app without installing something, apparently (my coworker who uses mac at home couldn’t figure it out either). It has slowed me down and made me less productive. Work won’t let us have linux laptops for whatever reason which, as a developer, would be so much nicer.

Because I don’t use apple products and don’t keep up with the news? My work laptop is Mac, but that’s work’s problem (I hate that thing)

• Rust has safety and efficiency close to C
• Perl is processing most of your healthcare records
• Ada is doing space stuff
• Go is going places
