Using they/them by default is already a good start - I would be surprised to learn if neopronouns are a thing at all in languages that don’t have gendered pronouns to begin with. they/them is perfectly acceptable to 99+% of people - both cis and LGBT+.

You can just say LGBT or LGBT+. Lots of others are in use but very, very few people will legitimately get mad at you for picking one over any other.

If someone specifically tells you to call them a certain thing, you should call them that thing. Otherwise just stick to they/them.

If someone tells you their sexuality and it is not relevant to you, you have no obligation to ever bring it up again, just as with any form of oversharing.

And as for why some people share these things even though you may personally find it too revealing - that’s just down to personal preference. Different things are important to different people in different ways. Some people might go through their life never giving their gender a single thought. Others might base their life around affirming and fighting for it in various ways. Most people are somewhere in the middle. Everyone has a cause they believe in a lot - for some people, this is that cause. As an “Aero Ace” (a term I had to look up - “aromantic asexual” for those who also haven’t encountered it), you’re probably pretty predisposed to not care about any of this stuff on any significant level.

Others have covered that there were internal supports, so they were supporting nothing at all. But let’s assume they weren’t.

I’m going for an intentional underestimate - so let’s say there are 10 people in your layer (I think 8 is more likely), then 24 above them, 18 above them, 18 above them, 25 above them, 14 above them, and 2 above them. I think most people would agree those are underestimates for each ring.

That’s 101 people being supported by 10 people. If we take another underestimate that each of those people weighs 100 pounds (45.36 kg) then that’s 10,100 pounds (4581.28 kg) - or 1010 pounds (458.13 kg) supported by each of the 10 people in your ring, completely ignoring the weight of the metal rings visible in the picture. So I think it’s safe to say it was mostly the internal supports at work.

Today I went to sleep at 7am and woke up at 3pm. Next week I’m just as likely to go to bed at 8pm and wake up at 4am. No real schedule, but I tend to slowly drift forward. Sometimes I get caught on a split schedule where I’ll sleep twice a day for half as long.

I still thinks his takes were bad and tone-deaf. I get that he liked a certain appointee Trump made that’s relevant to his industry. And, knowing nothing at all about the appointee myself, they may in actuality be a good pick. But he went well beyond praising the appointee, to praising Trump and Republicans in general - albeit for the specific narrow topic of “reigning in big tech”.

While his takes were arguably valid given recent history (I’d still say not), it was completely tone deaf to the reality of what the present-day Republican party and Trump mean for America, and especially ignorant of the obvious buddying-up big tech has done with Trump in the past few months.

I think if he narrowly aimed his praise at the appointee herself, without then making sweeping generalities about Republicans vs. Democrats, that nobody here would even be aware of who he is, let alone what he said.

I do think the internet in general tends to be very reactionary - I don’t think Lemmy is any more reactionary than, say, reddit, but both are very reactionary. Anyone who jumps ship over this guy’s comment will just end up jumping ship again from whatever their new ship is, after that company makes some move they see as imperfect in a few months or years. No company is perfect. Proton is at least great.

I’ll vouch for Proton. The recent controversy wasn’t great but it’s also a single negative incident for a company that has otherwise had a pretty stellar track record. I recommend reading his responses in the reddit AMA he did after the incident. I still think he’s a fool, but I don’t think he’s fascist or that there’s any reason at all to doubt the privacy, security, or direction of the company, which is both partly open source and regularly audited.

I’ve been using ProtonMail for probably around 7 years now and it’s been great.

Hello again 🙂 I have a good feeling about this one.

infosec.pub##:not(head>title:has-text(/leopard/i)) article.row:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi/i):not(:has-text(/leopard/i))

It’s doing basically the same thing as the last one but now instead of targeting an <a> tag with the community-link attribute, which was basically just the first way I was able to find of identifying a community last time, it targets the title of the page itself, which seems like it should be a lot more reliable. This does mean using the literal leopardsatemyface-type filter won’t work since the title of the page is the community’s user-friendly name: “Leopards Ate My Face” in this case.

So as before it should block any posts which contain words from the blacklist, unless they also contain words from the whitelist - and now if the title of the page has any words from the whitelist (indicating we’re on an allowed community page), it will block nothing at all. The blacklist and whitelist will apply to the post title, community name, and even the submitter’s name - anything you can read and even some things you can’t read.

What happened with .*?leopard.*?? It was still filtering Trump posts even from the community page? My own testing showed that variant working - I never actually even tested the leopardsatemyface variant

To be clear, this filter should allow for Trump posts that mention leopards or come from that community to show up on your main feed - that’s what’s desired here, right?

It also occurs to me that the ? on the .*? isn’t necessary - even just .*leopard.* should work as expected

Hey! I’m pretty sure this one will work:

infosec.pub##:not(a.community-link:matches-attr(title=/.*?leopard.*?/i)) article.row:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi/i):not(:has-text(/leopard/i))

Where now we have three filters. If the community name matches the first regex, then nothing at all will be filtered out - and then the other two work the same as before. So any post that matches the blacklist regex will be filtered out unless it also matches the whitelist regex.

I chose to make the first regex /.*?leopard.*?/i because my thinking is you may want to just copy/paste the other whitelist filter there for simplicity, but it might make more sense to do it like the others, like /leopardsatemyface|second community|third community|etc/i. The “title” of a community for the purpose of this filter should be whatever appears after /c/ in the URL, not counting the @lemmy.world (or whatever instance) part.

Actually it seems to be a difference based on our instances - if I look at the community from infosec.pub then the bit of HTML I quoted above with the mod option isn’t present, and there’s no ‘leopard’, hidden or explicit, for the whitelist filter to find.

As a note, the (s)? on your leopard isn’t needed - just ‘leopard’ will already match the ‘leopard’ part of ‘leopards’

I don’t know how to fix this currently, but I’ll test out a bit more later to see if I can find anything that works well

I’m not sure I follow - the filter seems to work as-is to me. It allows posts on both the front page and the !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world to bypass the filter for me.

To be clear, it’s not only applying to the title row - the article tag it targets contains the entire post as it appears in the post feed, including the title, community name, the person who submitted it, the timestamp, etc. So if anything there contains a filtered or whitelisted word it should trigger the filter.

I wouldn’t have necessarily expected the whitelist filter to work directly on the leopards community page, since posts on community feeds don’t include the community name, but it works anyways because, it seems, there’s a hidden mod option in the HTML with the community name in it: <div class="modal-body text-center align-middle text-body">Are you sure you want to transfer leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world to TheBat@lemmy.world?</div>

lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3/i):not(:has-text(/word4|word5|word6/i))

or

lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/maga/i):not(:has-text(/leopard/i))

will do what you want - it’ll block any posts which contain words from the first regex, unless it also has some words from the second regex

Where? I see the option to block users, instances, and communities, but not words.

And regardless, I think this method has value because it can be applied to pretty much any website with a bit of tinkering, and it can be turned on and off with a couple of clicks. I actually started out with the ars filter before making one for Lemmy.

Hey thanks. I just made $2.86! And my mom is owed $1.44!

Ars ate the onion?

I eat cereal like twice a year, if that. But yeah, when I do, one box tends to last me two meals. I don’t really eat breakfast - when I have cereal it’s because I’m craving it, and it’s liable to replace my dinner at that point.

I just fill the bowl with a lot of milk then take the box of cereal with me, and keep refilling until either I’m full or the milk’s all gone.

Companies will raise their prices (to “what the market can bear”), but they will never be able to raise prices enough to offset the positive effects of UBI. It’s not like your internet bill is going to go up by $2000/month if they suddenly know you’re getting $2000/month in UBI. Your typical person makes purchases from dozens of different companies. An increase of “what the market can bear” won’t be all that much.

And afterward, the effective purchasing power of the vast majority of people will have increased - most noticeably for those who currently have nothing / very little. Least noticeably for those who are reasonably well off already. And for those who are currently doing extremely well off, their purchasing power will end up dropping.
