You won’t see anyone admit it on this site, but the 2A keeps villages safe in the USA.

And yes, country folks can defeat the US army. It happened in Vietnam and the Middle East, it can happen at home.

Not really, but I haven’t used Microsoft in years.

Yes this is tough.

We use Google Workspace. I use Proton at home.

It really is.

I’ve been a Unix maximalist since I can remember, but I’ve never convinced my peers to follow.

Since windows 11 has dropped, every single one of them now has a Linux machine for one purpose or another. Some are now considering a complete purge of MS products, as I have.

It’s happening.

😂

Are being used to spy on you

That makes a lot of sense!

This is true but there’s nuance to it. Often these aggregations have other issues based on their own selection methods.

So, I prefer to look at the direct relationships instead. That’s just my opinion, but I did get it from a person in the field.

I imagine the process differs a lot depending on the subject or focus of the study.

Or I’m just wrong! Oh well 🤷‍♂️

Oh sweet, thanks! I wanted it to be seen again too!

And it even has the edits, perfect haha. Tyvm

Is there any way to get a copy of my original Lemmy post so I can see it? I want to look at my tone and such.

Yeah, probably!

That’s not really what I said but I appreciate your input, thank you.

Ok, thanks!

Ok, thanks!

Thank you for your perspective. Please stop being mean, it doesn’t help.

I understand where you’re coming from.

Well, there are people ready to listen. I see you, but not everyone is mean. I hope it gets better for you.

I can’t even access my original comment but it wasn’t mean or judgmental. The problem with society right now is that we can’t have polite discourse.

Thanks for your perspective!

You have no idea what I am. When you’re talking to people with different opinions though, this isn’t the way my friend. This is not the way.

Yes, this is exactly how you get people to convert to your side! /s

I’m not going to let you poison my opinion of trans folks, but you’re not doing them any favors right now. Go take a deep breath, friend.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

But look at how I’m being treated here, look at how they removed my original comment. I wasn’t being mean or anything.

If people expect to have discussion and convert people then they need to be nicer. What I saw today is evil, and it doesn’t help the trans community much when this happens.

I’m not going to let it poison my research, but holy moly you folks need some manners and decency.

I believe you, I don’t think there is malice here at all.
