Teachers in England will have to tell parents if children question their gender
  • Words form sentences form paragraphs. You need to be able to hold more than one thought in your head to be able to comprehend an argument. You should try it.

  • Teachers in England will have to tell parents if children question their gender
  • If your reading comprehension is really that bad, it might explain the low quality of your opinions. You should probably try working on it instead of embarrassing yourself in public.

  • Teachers in England will have to tell parents if children question their gender
  • The kinds of things that some parents bully, punish, disown and/or murder their children for should very much be hidden from them if the child chooses to hide it. It's no one else's business and, if the child has not yet told them themselves, breaking their confidence is an attempt to ruin their life and quite possibly end it.

    This is stochastic terrorism from this fascist government, desperate for any distraction at all from their kleptocratic ways.

  • Meet Microsoft Office’s new default font: Aptos
  • It's like a Calibri-fied version of Trebuchet. You can actually tell the difference between I and l without changing the font to check. It's an improvement.

  • What are tankies? What does sea-lioning mean?
  • applied by centre left and liberals

    It's a term that originates with the left. Specifically, those who broke with the USSR over imperialist invasions, referring to those who did not. More broadly, it refers to the authoritarian left (as opposed to the anarchist left).

  • Could the Conservatives lose five by-elections?
  • There is no family silver left, Thatcher and Blair sold it all. The only thing they can do is throw as much money as possible at rich people in the time they have left, secure in the knowledge that Starmer's Labour will keep their seats warm without doing anything at all to stop the theft.

  • Deleting your Threads profile will also kill your Instagram account
  • They probably will realise that 10 million is less than 1% of 1.6bn and that they can safely ignore people making shit up.

  • Deleting your Threads profile will also kill your Instagram account
  • That's not true. Instagram has 1.6bn users and all can use their Instagram logins to sign in to Threads. The roughly 1% who have signed up already have chosen to activate Threads, it's not done automatically.

  • Outlook suddenly started opening links in Edge, disregarding my default browser settings
  • Thanks for this. Turns out they also made it hard to make anything other than Edge your default browser (you have to set it separately for each file extension). How to fix that here:

  • Olive exploring where she shouldn't
  • You don't know what clutter is but you do have a very cool rabbit.

  • OotL: What happened with Elon Musk? And Twitter?
  • He mocked a disabled former Twitter employee, Haraldur Thorleifsson, who has muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair, in a series of tweets on March 7, 2023 Thorleifsson had tweeted at Musk to ask if he was still employed at Twitter, after he lost access to his work computer along with 200 others. Musk accused him of doing no actual work, claiming a disability that prevented him from typing, and seeking a big payout 2 He also posted emojis and a link to a scene from Office Space to ridicule him.

    Just to add to this, Thorleifsson had sold his company to Twitter but taken the payout as a salaried job so that he paid full taxes on it. The big payout if Musk sacked him was part of the deal to buy the company. Musk is willfully ignorant for every possible meaning of the term.

  • What do I do with the !community@instance links?
  • Thanks.

    I just replaced the c in the link with m and it worked. Thank you this thread.

  • Thanks.

  • What do I do with the !community@instance links?
  • That way it will work wherever you are logged in. example is a link to ‘/c/[email protected]

    Yeah, those don't work from kbin. None of the links I've found in c/newcommunities works for me. Am patiently waiting for whatever the problem is to be resolved.

  • Moto Razr+ (2023) vs. Motorola Edge+ (2023): To fold, or not to fold, that is the question
  • Fold, for sure. Actually pocketable, and secure once pocketed.

  • Do you think a Fold style phone with an eInk display on the outside would work well?
  • I have an e-ink tablet that runs Android. Copes with most apps and can deliver stuttery video.

    E-Ink can't be far off replacing glass screens (at least as an option) because the benefits for battery life are substantial. But I'd think it would replace them rather than be in addition to. A phone with screens on both sides would be so fragile.

  • banning and defederating communities
  • There is a really, really big difference between "we want to kill you" and "we do not want to be killed by you".

    Don't tolerate fascists. However comfortable that centrist illusion is, you are signing your own death warrant and that of millions of others (most of whom will suffer the consequences of your actions long before they get around to the people who feel safe enough to argue that fascists must be tolerated).

  • Can you become clumsier over time?
  • Suddenly? No. Age creeps up on you slowly, and not (in big ways) as early as your thirties. This sounds more like a potential neurological problem.

    If this is you, get it checked out sooner rather than later. If you're USian, I'm sorry that this might be too expensive an option to consider.

  • French police kill teen who refused traffic stop
  • This is the mantra of lemmy.ml.

    Tell us, how are russian and chinese cops?

    It's more of an anarchist thing, to be fair.

    They're bastards, obv. Like it says in the OP.

    Sidebar settings saved using cookies instead of account credentials?

    The settings on the righthand sidebar return to defaults every time I close Firefox. This might be because my Firefox settings get rid of cookies between sessions?

    I don't want to make my browser less secure, even for just this site, but it is slightly annoying (only slightly) having to reselect options every time.

    Am I diagnosing the problem correctly and, either way, is there a solution?
