Gotta love federation issues. Still seeing the original version over on the instance I use.

If you can ONLY see this issue in the light of whether or not people can misgender trans people, you're already engaging in bad faith.

This whole chain started because someone mentioned they’d hate to live in a jurisdiction that arrested people for misgendering someone. I’m inclined to agree.

Whether or not you feel people are justified in holding their views has ZERO bearing here. It’s quite telling how you think you’re the arbitrator on who and who does not get a say.

And to be clear, fuck bigots and bigotry. I hate ‘em all. Hope they all die painful deaths. I just don’t want governments that don’t already have it to suddenly gain the authority to arrest based on offending people, because it doesn’t take too long before that starts getting abused by the exact type of people who fuck over people like me regularly.

“She isn’t going to pick you” lol as far as I’m concerned JK Rowling can die in a fucking fire. Harry Potter is ass anyway. You’re just angry that there are people out there who don’t want to see people arrested over non-crimes.

So, since I’m trans, am I allowed to say that instituting a law where we jail people over saying something rude seems awful to me.

Maybe it’s just because I’m an American, used to our constitutionally protected freedom of speech. But I think the ramifications for an average person misgendering someone should probably be limited to social ramifications rather than government ordained punitive ones.

Now if it’s a doctor or government employee or something there’s a discussion to be had.

I decided I’d also inquire about the books2 dataset, and this is what I got. (GPT-4 mode).

I had a few glitches. Like grabbing onto a ladder and being thrown into the air. Or falling through a road once or twice. But that was the literal release version and still happened rarely. Performance was pretty bad with the first release imo but playable enough.

It’s only shit if you suck at games. The game plays fine. Could it be improved? Sure. Is it shit? No.

ReactOS, Haiku, ArcaOS, Icaros Desktop, and the like, I’d imagine.

Since what you seem to really be after is benchmark results. I ran Cinebench R23, the Windows version, using Proton GE in Desktop mode.

I got a multi-core result of 4196, placing the multi-core CPU performance between the Intel Core i7-1165G7 which scored 4904, (1.17x faster than the Deck) and the Intel Core i7-4850HQ which scored 3891 (1.08x slower than the Deck).

I got a single core result of 968, placing the single-core CPU performance between the Intel Xeon W-3265M which scored 1058 (1.09x faster than the Deck) and the AMD Ryzen 7 1700X which scored 959 (1.01x slower than the Deck.) Remember both of these comparisons are single core only. The Xeon is 5.78x faster with the multicore and the Ryzen is 2.12x faster with its multicore.

Keep in mind, the GPU in the Deck will outpace many iGPUs in most laptops, but not a dedicated laptop GPU. And this can be relevant for some high load compute workloads tasks even though it’s not the CPU.

Hopefully that helps.

If you ever have the time, Zelda: Breath of The Wild is essentially a continuity reboot and a great place to jump back in to the series imo. Tears of The Kingdom is its direct sequel and just recently released and both games are massive with tons of content, but also enjoyable in short spurts. The gameplay is quite different from Ocarina of Time, but a lot of the core design philosophy is clearly still pursuing the same goals.

It helped pull me a little out of my own funk recently.

Not OP, but to chime in:

It’s not quite as simple, but one of the thoughts that confirmed it to me was “if I had a button I could push, and overnight my body would change to an ideal body opposite my gender, and I woke up knowing the social norms and being treated exactly as that gender was, would I want to do that”?

Once I realized I would, the question just changed to “there are health and social concerns that come with it now, it takes forever, and you may never hit your idealized image. Are you still in?”

Once I realized I was, it was just slow steps to test the waters. Change my online profiles. Go by a different name. Start to ask for my pronouns to be different with my friends and family. Eventually I’m on HRT.

Ayyy, a fellow trans Michigander! Glad you made it through Thursday, it was pretty wild. Not too bad where I’m at but directly around me got pretty hammered.

It is relevant discussion to plug a related group. You don’t get to decide something is spam just because you see no value in it.

Right? What a cute little touch. And maybe it leaves room to implement instance badges or something down the road.

My theory is Apple won’t release a folding phone until at the very least, the durability and feel of the screen material is addressed. In addition, I personally don’t think Apple will do a folding phone design until they find an implementation that does more than replicate the standard flip phone or just expand the screen real estate.
