What a cutie!!

Video worked just fine for me :)

I mean it’s unconfortable to hear it but it’s also an entirely different term

Like if you say your tranny failed and you point at your broken down vehicle, it’ll sound pretty awkward to a lot of folks these days, but unless they don’t know it’s used unrelatedly to refer to a transmission I can’t imagine many folks are likely to think you’re trying to describe them as a lesser, invalid human on the basis of how they relate to gender.

I’d find it a bit awkward or uncomfortable but I certainly wouldn’t take offense by it.

I don’t think anyone who’s used it to refer to like a transmission or transceiver or transit van is a bad person or anything. There’s a lot of room for misunderstanding but part of communication is knowing your audience. Honestly that’s probably the biggest reason I think it’s a good thing it’s falling out of favour- there’s less room for misunderstanding

Yeah, I wasn’t trying to argue he’s a hero, just attempting to interpret the event and his choice to make these comments at an event with no recording

Was curious why they described them as awkward

If you haven’t heard much about Obama’s comments, there’s a reason for that. He chose to deliver them at an event at which audio and video recordings were prohibited. If the idea was to disseminate this clarion call to the broader public, it was a weird choice of venues.

Obama never uttered the word “Trump” once. Throughout his remarks, it was clear what he was talking about. But he opted for broad generalities rather than specifics about who and what are threatening democracy.

It seems possible to me he wanted to address people who are involved in our government moreso that the public, but 🤷‍♂️

Thank you very much for the context, that makes a lot of sense and I’m glad this info can be part of the discussion here :)

Another thought- if you’re playing with how to get the right effect, sometimes it helps to take some scrap and see if you can get experimental or weird part right before you’re using nice materials and doing all of the operations together

Good luck with your project!

Oooh, pretty! Shame it doesn’t run

As a car enthusiast, personally I 1000% agree with the post. To me this is absolutely the right place for this post.

I want my pop up and down headlights back, and instead we have dumb SUVs with bumpers 6ft tall and zero appeal so that a soccer mom can plow over pedestrians with peak lethality

But the popups are “unsafe”. Because then you might hit a pedestrian. At night. When everything being open at night in the US died during covid. Makes sense 🙃

I want them back 🥹

I don’t think that’s entirely unreasonable, I’m curious to see how those will compare too!

This made me smile, thank you for sharing :)

If they’re just taking solace in it not hurting demographics that didn’t vote for this I guess I can understand trying to find ways this isn’t quite as awful.

But rural folks suffering is awful. I don’t wanna root for suffering, or consider it a good thing.

I agree, but I’m glad they did it anyway.

Sorry if this has already been posted, this video is from a couple weeks ago, but I just saw it in my recommendations and thought folks might enjoy the win for Linux :)

That it’ll hurt rural hospitals…? Please tell me you mean something else about it, or that there’s a joke I’m missing…

That’s unfortunate to hear, I haven’t really used loops at all but I hope they can figure it out to a point of adequacy

Yeah, if it wants to actually compete with YouTube it would have to have monetization. I’ve talked about that on Lemmy before, I agree.

But at least with a good algorithm it could be like old youtube where folks can speak to the world and share things in video format

I also feel like the algorithm is kinda brutal. Even if there’s good stuff I’m not sure I’d ever really find it

I don’t know anything about it but the picture sure is pretty

Magnificent shitpost.

Just wanna stop and say open source is cool, neat to see what instances have what interfaces :)
