Nothing is free. How would they make money as a company to pay employees and pay hosting bills?

All these big tech companies are free exactly because they are preditory on users.

Pay for good email like Fastmail or Proton.

Cost of doing business.

Oh OK, thanks.

No no, that’s not what it says.

They are removing this on Wayland:

Force Font DPI spinbox in System Settings > Appearance > Fonts

And this on both Wayland and Xorg:

Adjustable icon sizes for many icons in many KDE apps in System Settings > Appearance > Icons

The Fastmail calendar is pretty good. Just a random page about them: https://www.fastmail.com/blog/shared-calendars/

It’s not too hard. The most important things are web search and email. I still use Google Maps. But I don’t want my private emails and searches at a company who is user hostile and preditory.

Basically they have made themselves kings and everyone else are peasants. Now they are dividing the land between them.

It may be the last few years of the free web because of Google. Their goals are clear.

Please switch to Firefox, another search engine and another email provider…

Being born rich is almost certainly a requirement to start with. There must be a lot of non famous brilliant people without a public voice like the clowns, Musk and Trump and Zuck and all the others.

I kind of just end up using Tokyonight, it’s hard to find anything better.

It is irrational. Just because you believe that various forms of xenophobia (writ large) are “human nature” does not make them rational. Phobias are irrational (that is ‘without reason’) by definition, and attempting to redefine a phobia from a clinical diagnosis to a justification based on your perception that people are inherently prejudiced is itself irrational.

It’s not a phobia so it’s not irrational. I’ve tried to explain the reasons above but I don’t think you agree, which is fine. According to your definition, everyone who feel uncomfortable around trans people are transphobic, which is absurd to me and I strongly disagree with that.

With that logic, I am also a racist if I prefer being around people from the same skin color and culture. Then almost everyone on the planet is a racist because they don’t enjoy hanging out with other cultures (like I said above, people tend to group up and be friends with other similar people).

You make a good point but I don’t agree it’s transphobia still.

We pick people to be around from a number of reasons. Usually because they make us feel good and have similar culture. This is why people of similar culture usually ends up living in the same places. This is why similar people become friends.

There are entire cities in Spain where only Nordic people live. And same thing in other countries. This is because they want to live near people with the same culture.

Trans people is something new and different, and it will take time before everyone is comfortable around them. This is not transphobia (irrational fear) or racism. This is human nature.

With time, it will become normal for people to have trans people around. But today it’s unusual and people need to adapt to it.

I’m arguing that to make it easier to get to know Trans people, we have every opportunity here on Lemmy for example. If everyone remains friendly.

I’m arguing that Transphobia is not hate driven, not for the majority of normal people anyway. They just don’t feel comfortable and wants to avoid trans people because of that.

It’s human nature to want to avoid situations that makes us uncomfortable. That being said, of course there is a minority of haters. But it’s far from being the majority. The majority don’t even want to deal with it and they just avoid it.

And I would welcome if trans people would start joining conversations like this one without assuming that everyone is out to hurt them.

Why? Also seems perfectly natural to me.

I understand. Isn’t that even more of a reason to connect to people here?

Should we just not talk to them? Leave them alone so they don’t get scared by our comments?

I would rather see them as part of the community like anyone else.

No idea what you even mean with that. Did you expect a response with “oh that’s strange, I’m sure everyone is really comfortable around trans people these days”.

They just aren’t.

I think instead of being hostile against people who admit they are not comfortable, maybe try to help and be a friend instead so people can start to understand that there is nothing to fear?

Trans people started one of the first mastadon instances and one of the first Lemmy instances as well. I think that’s really cool, and I don’t get why you would drop a oneliner with some kind of witty response when you can actually communicate with people here.

It’s not so strange is it? It’s not like most people feel comfortable around trans people. It took a very long time before even black people were treated normally.

I don’t actually like the term phobia either. People are not “irrationally afraid” . They just prefer hanging out with people they are used to.

I loved it personally. Tech is in a awful state right now and it’s correct to try and joke about it while we all lose decades of what previous generations built up as protection against these bastards.

Not leaving Lemmy for Kbin. :)

You never leave your wingman Maverick!

I wouldn’t subscribe to politics if you want to feel good about the world… And tech is mostly the usual stuff about insane billionaires needing attention from the serfs to feed their little fragile egos.
