and trans women aren't real women

That wasn't to stir up controversy, that's just Rowling being a piece of shit. She regularly supports groups aiming to strip rights from people and has openly stated that any money from Harry Potter is a direct endorsement of her abhorrent views. The only ethical move is to boycott anything related to the franchise.

Final Destination?

dumb enough to think that something you just thought of without any research is valid and also dumb enough to think sharing that online is a good idea.

Do you know what community you're posting in?

You can disagree with someone without being an ass, this was uncalled for.

You mean like all the things in the link OP posted which you scrolled past just to be an ass in the comments?

So your suggestion is instead of any attempt at regulation people should just boycott a company years after they've already given that company their money, despite the fact that you admit n even more ideal circumstances boycotts still do not work?

That sounds like superheated water to me. When you heat water in a microwave it can reach temperatures above 100C without boiling, if you disturb the water in that state it boils instantly and explodes.

The entire premise of your comment is absurd, but let's assume for a moment we really do live in a world where a legal process can't be used unless it's successfully been used for widespread change before; what other action do you suggest people should take?

Imagine superman barging into your home with two rich kids just to say "look at this shithole, can you believe people actually live like this?" He excludes the kid he wants the others to include, too.

Plenty of words mean the opposite of themselves, so much so that there's multiple words for it; autoantonym, contranym, or Janus words.

This morning my alarm went off so I turned it off.
I wanted to buy a new console as soon as it was out but they were all out.
Two people were left so I left.
I fought with Bob over chores, but I fought with Bob in the war.

Sort of, but but really. You're right that historically the daylight hours set an upper limit on the amount of work that can be done per week for most types of work, but that limit is far higher than 8 hours per day over 5 days. The 40 hour work week is based on unions fighting for a 40 hour work week. If it wasn't for the unions you'd be working all day every day except Sunday, for religious reasons.

That might change over the next few decades too, the current fight is for a 4 day work week and studies are showing promising results there.

I think you're misrepresenting that a little. It's not peer reviewed, doesn't appear to have any researchers names attached at all, doesn't mention latent demand, and doesn't at any point consider that there could be other modes of transport. It reads to me like someone trying to sell their road building project.

There's plenty of examples of software doing this right and displaying each language in the selector in that language, it's hard to say why they've localised it here. Most likely they just didn't consider how the user interacts with that element and localised it the same way they translate everything else, but that could be down to anyone from the developer habitually running everything through localisation to company policy where they couldn't get an exception for that element.

You'd have to ask support for whatever software you're using for more detail, chances are you won't get anything useful back but if you're lucky they might fix it.

 

Seems like federation has been broken for a little over a day. Comments don't seem to be propagating to or from other instances, checking All/new it suddenly switched from a constant stream of posts from other instances to exclusively posts by local users.

 

I signed in this morning and checked my profile to find I'm not actually here. Did anyone else accidentally stop existing overnight?

 

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.

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.
