Wild, maybe it's a regional thing like I said with your group of friends. Fwiw I don't think there's such a thing as a trans community IRL btw, most trans people only know one or two other trans people at most. Like I know a few but they all don't know each other etc.

This comment is great

Damn, that's rough. I never knew how lucky I was to know I never had to worry about the testing and all that, godspeed to them in that case.

Another q: Are open relationships considered polygamy?

Never heard of it, all the trans lesbian relationships I've been in with bi and les trans women have been completely monogamous. Maybe it's just your group of friends?

LainTrain , to Technology in Online Content Is Disappearing

This is why Discord is poison to our shared pool of knowledge, it's such a black hole for many games and software (especially ironically enough open source projects) in lieu of decent docs.

How are they produced?

Wild, so they practice polygamy? Gotta say I don't know any gay men but I've never seen lesbians or bis, both cis and trans be anything but monogamous.

Is it an fwb network thing or like proper relationships but they just don't care who their partner bangs on the side? I'm genuinely curious, not trying to come off as insulting.

It's always wild to me how much sex gay men have that they have to put out announcements like this, it often feels like monogamy is rare among them based on news coverage (not sure how true it actually is), whereas for my gay trans ass I've never even sought casual sex and hadn't had any since I first transitioned in my teens and subsequently decided my virginity was to be no more, now my only partner is always my S.O., I figured it'd be the norm amongst queer people.

LainTrain , to No Stupid Questions in What is a good eli5 analogy for GenAI not "knowing" what they say?

That analogy is hard to come up with because the question of whether it even comprehends meaning requires first answering the unanswerable question of what meaning actually is and whether or not humans are also just spicy pattern predictors / autocompletes, since predicting patterns is like the whole point of evolving intelligence, being able to connect cause and effect in patterns and anticipate the future just helps with not starving. The line is far blurrier than most are willing to admit and ultimately hinges on our experience of sapience rather than being able to strictly define knowledge and meaning.

Instead it's far better to say that ML models are not sentient, they are like a very big brain that's switched off, but we can access it by stimulating it with a prompt.

Yes.

Breaking Bad reference

LainTrain OP , to Linux in Can't figure out how to get Plank working on Wayland

I've never heard of either of these things and I've been in the community for decades, cheers.
I only use Plank itself, not dash-to-x anything. I've no idea what that even means tbh as I'm an i3 user usually so I've been out of the GNOME game for a bit.

LainTrain OP , to Linux in Can't figure out how to get Plank working on Wayland

Sure! Is it missing any features from Guake, or is it just some clone fork?

LainTrain OP , to Linux in Can't figure out how to get Plank working on Wayland

That's unfortunate. Will have to switch back to X.Org until this is fixed by the Wayland/XWayland developers, is there any clue as to why it specifically wouldn't work? If it's updated as recently as 2019 then I'd have expected Wayland to fix this by now, not like I'm trying to run a DOS game or something haha!
