I agree completely. It reminds me of when German trade unions found out that their members are much more conservative than their apparatchiks and their response was "we'll teach them" and they pressed full force ahead, predictably losing 20% of their members in the past 20 years.

Inflation is much higher than wage increases, rent is exploding in the cities while jobs are being migrated into the cities, but thank god we have committees for identifying more and more absurd diversions and divisions.
Why is any word considered derogatory? Enough people used it derogatorily.
Though this is undoubtedly good for click-rewarded media, it’s also good for society if it invokes a rejection of the extremists and unsavory outliers both from outside and within the community, whether woke extremists, Christian Taliban, or other.

Unfortunately, I don’t see quite strong enough (for my taste) version of that repudiation (in general across both causes I believe in and ones where I disagree).
In a private letter, Tolkien described orcs as

“squat, broad, flat-nosed, sallow-skinned, with wide mouths and slant eyes: in fact degraded and repulsive versions of the (to Europeans) least lovely Mongol-types.”

Again, not saying we have to “cancel” Tolkien, but we should be aware of the issues and do better in future.

If you have money usually you can just buy these things.

At the start of COVID, for example, I had access to COVID tests before most of the market (at a huge premium) via work. They really did not care who bought it. At worst create some paper company and start asking questions.
The article itself says this, but the original idea comes from the military, not GM. Silos aren't functional; they're mission-based. Each unit down to the squad level is capable of operating in an entirely self-sufficient manner, but the scope of mission it can accomplish alone is smaller than higher-level units. This is accomplished in part by having all of the functional specialists you need in the units together with each other, instead of having functional silos. It's the original matrix organization, where you get assigned some functional specialty and your career is managed by that in terms of what you're required to learn and master doctrinally, and it also determines your unit assignments, but your chain of command is orthogonal. Your career manager has no say in what your mission is on any given day.

Somehow, it seems like the military is still the only organization to really get this right, but they of course have at least two pretty serious advantages over private organizations:

1) The personnel can't quit

2) They actually get training budgets and dedicated schools and enough slack in headcount to send people away from their units solely to learn their profession and then go back to the units
I'm fairly open-minded to a critical take on trans issues, so I gave the linked podcast a listen, and I just want to report back that it's pretty straight-up conspiracy theory thinking. For example, the author of the book notes that it was only two weeks between the SCOTUS gay marriage decision and Caitlyn Jenner's cover on Vanity Fair - saying it was "obviously coordinated". There's talk of "putting pieces together", etc. If you're not conspiracy theory inclined, you can save yourself the trouble.
There are plenty of popular rap songs that use what Americans call 'the n-word' quite liberally as an in-group identifier. Use that word in polite conversation and you get labelled, quite rightly, a bigot.

A gay man might jokingly call himself a poof (or one of his straight close friends might in the same vein based on a mutual understanding), but again, you don't use such words in a polite, neutral setting without coming across as a very nasty person.

Some women are trying to reappropriate the word 'slut' from its negative connotations (cf. The Ethical Slut, Easton and Hardy, 2009) and some use it proudly, but again, anyone calling any woman who has an active sex live with more than one lover a slut will be met with derision.

This is no different.
Rofl... Yes - only in San Francisco... Yeah you're obviously either very uneducated or willfully ignorant about global history and culture. In countries and times that weren't dominated by the christian ideas of moral oppression - that lead to criminalization or at a minimum being outcast because of a social stigma and fear of violence of everyone not straight - LGBT were and are a visible part of society - not especially visible because nobody cared about making them especially visible because it was normal and accepted. Now after the first wins against oppression due to activism the right produces this fear and panic of the 'wokeness' to again demonize these people and 'liberals'. It's the new fear of socialists basically - a useful buggyman for reactionaries and religious fundamentalists. I wouldn't even know what woke meant wouldn't I be on social media and being confronted by all this alt-right nonsense troll-posts where they blow up a noname 'dumb woke' liberal strawman-post on a daily basis.
That's not how words work. It's definitionally derogatory, it doesn't get points for being an abbreviation.

I self host FreshRSS. The grand majority of sites support RSS as well so it works for most things although you may have to apply some filters to content depending on the sites and what the feeds contain. It is a quicker way to get new articles lists from the places you care about to give you a custom feed of the sort of "news" you care about.

Some sites breaking was a complaint my wife had when I set all devices on our network to use the pi-hole.

To solve this I setup a Shortcut on her iPhone so she can simply say "hey siri, stop pi-hole" and it will turn off the pi-hole for 5 minutes using a simple web request. The pi-hole turns itself back on after 5 minutes.

A bookmark works just as well but she prefers to use Siri as she never remembers where the bookmark is lol. It is mostly on her phone anyway that something doesn't quite work right so Siri was the best solution.

I also have Wire Guard setup and our phones configured to connect to it always for mobile data and unknown wifi so all our connections are routed via our home internet connection and via the pi-hole. As I have stupidly fast home internet (10Gbit EPON with free.fr) it works fantastically.
Some, even most, of the goals of that movement are commendable, with the exception of the more idealistic goals such as equality of outcome. What I find worrying, however, are the tactics that are used to accomplish those goals. I find it hard to understand how people do not see how discriminating against other people because of their views is not the right approach to solve discrimination.

Ockham's razor would suggest that if somebody finds documentaries about flu vaccines containing coronaviruses and a blog post highlighting the Jewishness of all the people it considers guilty of "debasing" Weimar Germany compelling, they are relatively unlikely to have spotted truths everyone else missed involving transgenderism, Davos billionaires and 14th century Jewish practices because of greatness of medical knowledge or lack of bias...

'Woke' is illiberal. A lot of the ideas behind it attack liberalism as they see at enabling the status quo as opposed to action for change.

Edit: Why are people down voting me? Critical theories are very open about their critique of liberalism and rationality? And how they've led to lack of change. It's not some weird conspiracy.

I personally think it's not worth it to abandon liberal ideas. As suddenly you validate a lot of illiberal politics. It allows for authoritarianism. I can't stand inconsistencies.
Probably for the same reasons you use it.
Well yeah depends also on the cyclist, if they are going rather quiet or out of the saddle. The main issue is the super wide and unpredictable path that inexperienced skaters take.

What a generic and low effort comment. It could apply to pretty much any human organization. Not bringing much to the discussion, really.
It's not a new thing. In some parts of the world at least transgendered women
typically transitioned during their puberty, at 13 or 14. A great source for
this observation is 'Travesti: Sex, Gender and Culture among Brazilian
Transgendered Prostitutes' by anthropologist Don Kulick, who followed a group of
trans sex workers in Salvador. Most of them transition from young boys to
teenage sex workers after a sexual encounter with an adult male. From personal
(though anecdotal) experience this is a common pattern in many cultures of the
so-called Global South, if we include in that South East Asia. Basically for
most of the 20th century, most transwomen who transitioned, transitioned in
their puberty and went straight into sex work.

What has changed recently is that many more trans women transition later in
life, after having lived for many decades as men, having married and had
children and careers well outside sex work etc. Perhaps because of a more
general shift of ideas about gender and sexuality (gay men are nowadays not
considered effeminate or feminine just because they fancy men) most transwomen
in western countries were generally of this later kind.

Then the wheel shifted again. My guess (and it's just a guess) is that the
number of people transitioning later in life and in a context that had nothing
to do with underage sex and sex work, helped convince society that transition
does not have to mean sex work (although in most of the world, it still does,
by and large, so what I say applies to more western societies) and that gave
more space to younger trans women and also young trans men to express their
identity without fearing that a life of humiliation and inevitable sex work
awaited them.

In my part of the world, when I was transitioning in the late 90's a trans woman
who was not into sex work was something unheard of and indeed I had to immigrate
to be able to do anything with my life. As to concerns about giving young
children puberty blockers etc, I would have to say that this is much better than
13 year olds taking cross-sex hormones without medical supervision and then
going to the red light district to display their budding breasts with pride.

I hope all this doesn't come across as "wokeness". My concern about other trans
women has always been the limited opportunities they've had in life, in my part
of the world, and the squalid, degrading and dangerous conditions in which they
had to survive as a result (google a bit about the transgendered community in
Istanbul if you have strong nerves). I tend to think of all the outrage
about identity issues on Twitter as a pleasant change of tone from the grim
darkness that was before.

A link to that book:

If social stigma is no longer an issue, why aren't we seeing transitioning across the entire adult population in equal proportion, and not primarily in children?
So who is accountable? Because arguing that "it has always been this way" is not a satisfactory answer,

Can someone explain to me (controversial, I know - but we've already opened Pandora's box):

If the category "transgender" is legally recognized, why does the category "transracial" come under such virulent attack?

Both (in my view), are manifestations of a disposition that induces a "distortion of reality" alongside a refusal to accept that "one's reality is distorted".

In most (if not all cases) of male to female transitions (which seem to be the most vocal segment of the transgender community) - the human brain is able to instantly recognize the gender of an approaching person - from a considerable distance, regardless of choice of clothing or make up.

Likewise, someone claiming to be of a different "race", say "white" to "yellow", "red" or "black" (or any permutation thereof), is laughably recognizable as an "interloper".

So why is one form of delusion celebrated, whilst another form frowned upon?

Side Note: when talking about race (which is a color based hierarchy, I deliberately assigned racial colors uniformly to everyone, even though I'm aware that some might find it offensive to be referred to by skin color; what is good for the goose, is surely good for the gander. I believe in equality).

What I use on my NAS is 2 data disks that are backed up to on-demand mounted disk which keeps versioned backups of changed files.
For my use case this gives me a copy of each file that I care about and in case of malware encryption, corruption or deletion of the file, I have old version available.
This will not protect from a fire, theft or from loss of anything that was modified since the last backup but I feel this works well for all the scenarios I care about.

Companies are like good software: there should be well defined interfaces. Without them, communication as says the article is "many to many".

Ah, apparently I missed (rather embarassingly) that some other auxiliary verbs don't use the participle in the same way that "haber" does.

> In Slavic languages, would something like (2) be allowed for the past tense? That is: an implicit word, "forcing" the past tense to go to the feminine [or neuter]?

No, (2) does not make sense there. The grammatical agreement is between the subject and the predicate (by definition it can't be an agreement with words that aren't even present in the sentence in the first place), and the "who" is masculine here. If I say in Czech, for example, to paraphrase it in English, "Who broke the window?", it's actually "Who broke.MASC the window?" regardless of the answer. I thought this was still preserved in Spanish because as far as I understand it, very much the same thing was possible in Latin as it is in Slavic languages but apparently Spanish ditched this at some point in the past. Interesting.

"Vote with our wallet" is an illusion. Do you really think you can cast a vote by _NOT buying_ an iPhone?

In large companies -like Apple-, there is tracking of conversions (see the ad -> buy the product), churn (a client who stopped coming/buying), interest/reach (who am I targeting with this ad). And that's it. There is no tracking of "people who would have bought an iPhone but chose not to SPECIFICALLY because of the new tracking feature we added. Thinking this kind of metric is relevant and measurable is a complete fantasy, and borderline silly.

Public discussion might influence product decisions. But it have to be hugely controversial to have any effect.

You can't "vote with your wallet". That's it. I have no idea why such belief made it's way into pop culture.

Did you just use the sentence “only 13 unarmed black men were shot by police”? That’s still outrageous. For context in the same year the UK police had 13 occasions total where officers fired their weapons, resulting in 3 fatalities. (https://www.statista.com/statistics/319246/police-fatal-shoo...)

Friend, to be frank, I don't see any way that beliefs in providence and deferred reward can even begin to explain economics. (And I daresay this is by intent.)

Consider this definition from the article:

> injustice will persist until systems of language and privilege are dismantled

From a clear reading of history and world events, you can see that terrible wrongs have been mercilessly committed for profit. Today, if it is hard to discuss these problems, it is in part because the topics have been so well buried, and honest discourse is a forgotten social principle, replaced by social media.

The blocking is done based on the filter list. Sounds like one of the included (and enabled by default) filter lists in uBO is causing issues.

Did you try disabling all uBO filters to see if the issue persists? If you can narrow it down to a specific filter list you can find the rule that is causing the issue and either disable that one rule or, better, raise a bug report so someone can look into what's going on and fix it in the filter list proper.

Don't downplay the influence of interracial mixing in the Americas, where I will perhaps incorrectly assume you live. Large amounts of body hair are not a universal male trait. Europeans and Mediterraneans are much hairier than Native Americans. If your ancestors were mostly on one side of that, then sure, they were hairier. Many of my more distant ancestors had no body hair at all.

You may notice a tradeoff here, as the same sensitivity to DHT in your hair follicles that causes facial hair to proliferate also causes male pattern baldness, and Europeans go bald much more often.
