Badically the premise of the episode is that he built a machine to learn french but he used a cassette tape or something that can get stuck/skip in the machine and it’s suppose to work over night when you’re asleep. Wouldn’t you know it it got stuck/skipped so it just repeated “Omelette du fromage”, so when he awakes that is all he can say.

Finally, the “is your fridge running” joke is real!

Also, love that it was Left at London that said that.

Cue tech obsessive trying to defend or deflect from LLMs etc and their problems in 5…

That’s fair. Eventually hopefully forgejo will work well enough to provide an alternative for self hosting though.

We really hope that codeberg and forgejo is accepted and used more!

Remember Me is a really interesting game.

So far? Cloud Punk.

Most games that claim to be cyberpunk don’t really delve too much into the politics or do it in a really bad way.

Cyberpunk 2077 is based on a very ableist TTRPG, for example that claims that the more modifications you make to your body, the less ‘human’ you are and thus the more likely you are to get ‘cyberpsychosis’. However, that isn’t necessarily true and if it is those folks that get it should be taken care of in a medical sense. Also, ‘humanness’ is not synonymous with ethical or moral etc as much as folks like to believe it is.

That’s a terrible thing to say.

Wow, that’s a disgusting take. Not everybody in red states wanted it and not everyone can afford to move to a blue state or they might be penalised for visiting one for health care.

I believe Summer Eternal is a Consumer co-op, isn’t it? Or if not looks very like it.

What I’m saying is that it’s no less a white supremacist network than anywhere else and I’m on an instance that has a zero tolerance policy for it. Yet people still show who they are even on ‘good’ instances that they don’t (yet) block all too often, even and especially admins.

and go where exactly? It’s not as if fedi is any less fascist, racist etc. Quite the opposite in fact.

Okidoke, hope you have a pleasant life and you never get upset about the way folks talk to you about anything or refer to you.

Wow, the award for quickest turnaround for proving the point goes to…

It always confuses me when people say ‘offend’ people, because usually it is not offense they feel etc.

Well, that’s not a very fair way of treating/thinking of people, some people are going to be hurt or upset by certain things and it’s better to understand that we all have emotions and they are not pointless just because you see no value in them i.e. ‘illogical’. It’s better to work together and find ways of communicating that aren’t genuinely hurtful ioo.

So like, just because you ‘studied’ linguistics you think that makes you an expert on how language should always be used or that people should not feel a certain way about language just because you say so?

That’s not exactly a compelling argument.

Language is always going to carry certain meanings for some folks and we do a disservice to people by ignoring that, we all have our own personal lexicons/semantic meanings to a degree and that will likely never change, we do best by understanding this and working together to understand and accept when certain language can be hurtful and thus find ways of talking that do work for each other.

I feel that’s a better way of being than talking down to someone like you just did and telling them that how they feel about it doesn’t matter and they should just get with the program, which is never going to work.

Okay, but not everybody is going to be comfortable with it and so are you saying you would not change your speech for them?

Also which country?

A trans femme is someone who tries to make themselves look more ‘femme’ often through taking estrogen etc, it can refer to trans women as well but also refers to those who don’t completely identify or at all as a woman, see nonbinary folks for example. It’s kind of a catch all term.

Who said anything bout language policing? I was merely saying for myself. I think passing is a pointless binary concept and not even all cis women ‘pass’. So I’m not all that interested in passing 100%, just being happy to be me.

In what context(s)?

A lot of trans femmes myself included cannot see ‘guys’ as gender neutral no matter how hard we try and so do not like it.
