Mossy Feathers (She/Her)

God, the number of people here who don’t know what “more likely” means is insane. Just because you aren’t trans, enby or disabled doesn’t mean the study is bullshit because you hate AI. It means that if you walk up to a random person and ask them about AI, they’re more likely to hate it if they exist in one of those groups.

Secondly, studies like this have value because they can clue people into issues that a community is having. If everyone is neutral about a thing, except for disabled people (who hate it), then maybe that means that the thing is having a disproportionately negative impact on disabled people. Studies like this are not unlike saying “hey, there’s smoke over there, there might be a fire.”

root cause of suffering and stress is […] magga

Yeah? I think most people agree that MAGA causes a lot of suffering and stress.

Wanna know something crazier? That’s Violent J.

I’m actually kinda concerned that’s part of the plan, but with the federal government instead of state. Plan a big “bailout” that involves buying all the bankrupt farmers and then use that to withhold food from dissidents.

That’s great but if they go bust, we starve.

Who’s gonna do that? Like, who’s gonna start rounding them up? The DoJ is on Trump’s side, and the Judicial branch needs them to actually enforce shit.

The number one thing I’ve been missing are Spotify jams. Spotify also has a wider selection of music, but tbh it’s rare for Spotify to have something that Qobuz doesn’t. Spotify also has lyrics, playlist folders, and audiobooks; though tbh I haven’t checked to see if Qobuz has the latter.

I love Qobuz. Also for those of you trying to boycott US goods, it’s a French company. I just wish it had the same adoption and features as Spotify.

Honestly, you might not have to move back with the rate things are going.

How’d you move to the UK without having a job lined up?

Edit: also on the subject of her friends, where were you living before you moved away? I have friends in a number of states, they miiiiight be able to help, no promises tho.

Edit 2: I’m dumb and can’t read.

“You’re complaining about a genocide that hasn’t happened yet when there’s genocide going on right now in Gaza!” The reaction to that link: “That isn’t genocide and you’re making light of genocide if you call it that.”

Oooo… I got that one from a furry on discord. My jaw hit the floor when they said that to me. Granted, they were European so they may not be keeping up with the news, but it was still shocking to hear that from a furry of all people.

In my case, the most recent fuckwit told me to never move to Europe because I wasn’t wanted there.

(Do you want a furry trans-girl pet? I’ll be your pet if you move me out too c:)

(I’m joking. Unless…)

Careful, people might try to tell you that you share responsibility too. I’ve had waaaaay too many people try to tell me that I, a trans woman who voted for Harris, must somehow share responsibility for my own oppression and the oppression of others at GOP hands.

Fucking disgusting.

Edit: one person has gone far enough to compare me to Martin Niemoller, a Nazi supporter who switched sides after his face got eaten by leopards.

Hey, your comment is deleted, though from the replies it suggests you were trying to “transvestigate” a transphobe. I would like to help explain why that’s a bad idea. That can still cause collateral to actual trans people because it can make us very self-conscious and focus on our own perceived flaws, even if they’re things that no one except us would notice. That’s why it’s a bad idea to try and use it against transphobes; you risk causing dysphoria in trans people simply by listing off the “signs” of a person being trans.

You can not understate how bad uranium mining went for the Navajo Nation. A decent chunk of their land was heavily contaminated for a long time as a result of corporate carelessness and racism. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Rock_uranium_mill_spill

This was the US’ biggest nuclear accident and one of the largest in the world (I think it’s 2nd only to Chernobyl). Yet, despite happening at about the same time as Three-Mile Island, most people don’t know about it.

The fact that quantum dots are already being successfully applied to LCD-LED and OLED screens is encouraging for future QDEL products. QDEL stakeholders claim that the tech could bring efficiencies like lower power consumption and higher brightness than OLED. (Research using a prototype device has recorded quantum dot light-emitting diodes reaching 614,000 nits. Of course, those aren’t the type of results you should expect to see in a real-life consumer product.)

614,000 nits

That’s fucking insane. HDR 1400 displays are at least 1,400 nits. 614,000 nits seems like you’d be staring at the fucking sun.

There’s also hope that QDEL could eventually last longer than OLED, especially since QDEL doesn’t rely on organic materials that can cause burn-in.

Tbh the burn-in issue is the reason why I don’t like OLEDs as computer monitors. I know phones and TVs don’t tend to have major burn-in issues, but the fact that it exists sucks. TVs have a variable-enough image that long-term use isn’t an issue imo, and even the most thrifty person will probably end up replacing their phone every 4~6 yrs. However, I’m used to having computer monitors be long-term things. My last monitor lasted about 10yrs before it died.

As it stands, QDEL displays would become noticeably dimmer more quickly than today’s OLED displays.

Aw, that’s disappointing. At the same time though, if they’re able to get even 10% of the 614,000 nits on commercial units, then they’d have to lose a significant amount of brightness to dim to current display levels.

But optimists believe QDEL display lifetimes could one day be on par with LCD-LEDs and outlast OLEDs.

Yeah, I hope so too.

Call me paranoid, but I feel like the “gay furry” part is a false flag. Especially the demand for irl catgirls and not catboys. I mean, they could be lesbians, but something has felt off about everything they claim responsibility for.
