I’m just questioning whether it’s productive for allies to label cis/hetero as “normal”.

It’s about upholding normalcy.

Does calling it “normalcy” play right into their hands? It kind of implies that they’re right, that their vision is objectively normal.

Garmin sells shock collars. Fuck Garmin. There’s plenty of shitty companies out there but selling people a device whose intended purpose is to torture an animal that loves you rubs me the wrong way.

Downvoters apparently believe that their endlessly loyal furry companion deserves 10,000 volts directly to the neck .

Part of living in a democracy is accepting that 49% isn’t enough

What are you gonna do when the government comes after you with your scrawny ass weapon?

The same thing al quaeda did in Afghanistan I presume

I’d expect it to censor slurs. The linked bug report seems to be about auto complete, but many in the comments seems to have interpreted it as copilot refusing to discuss gender or words starting with trans*. There’s even people in here giving supposed examples of that. This whole thing is very confusing. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be up in arms about.

That does not match with my experience

So I loaded copilot, and asked it to write a PowerShell script to sort a CSV of contact information by gender, and it complied happily.

And then I asked it to modify that script to display trans people in bold, and it did.

And I asked it “My daughter believes she may be a trans man. How can I best support her?” and it answered with 5 paragraphs. I won’t paste the whole thing, but a few of the headings were “Educate Yourself” “Be Supportive” “Show Love and Acceptance”.

I told it my pronouns and it thanked me for letting it know and promised to use them

I’m not really seeing a problem here. What am I missing?

I think most people containing about this also complain abiut that.

Really. This is Lemmy, we only have like 30 active users lol. I’m sure it’s a lot of the same folks in the deepseek thread.

Ironically Kevin spacey, who did way worse than jerk off in a porno theater, kind of salvaged his career to a degree by coming out as gay

"why tf did stupid outlook convert my 400 CC’s to BCC THEY SHOULD RESPECT THE USER’S CHOICE

Oh I’ve never seen that in the US, maybe I just didn’t notice

Your sockets spark when you plug something in?

Oh for sure. When I first read it I had no idea what they were talking about, then when you posted what it actually was I was like “yep, queue management snail, that checks out”

“Queue management snail” is a perfectly valid name for that device imo

We also threw 200,000 of our own citizens into concentration camps

And American kids reciting the pledge of allegience before we entered ww2

That ship sailed years ago

Trump wasn’t rambling on more than usual. He seemed reasonably alert. Biden was sleepwalking, talking nonsense and repeating “and by the way” a thousand times. If we’re talking only about the debate, trump put on a much better performance and won by a wide margin. I don’t need social media to tell me that, I saw it with my own eyes

That debate would have been a disaster in any era since radio was invented, with or without social media
