How could you be simpler than keepass? Like, there's more advanced features, but for basic function, its just a password to access a list of passwords.

WalrusDragonOnABike ,

You technically only need it on one device if you don't want to be able to copy/paste or use the autotype feature. Which works fine until you lose or break that one device or upgrade to a new one and forgot you needed to transfer your passwords or delete your database because you didn't remember what it was and wanted to free up space.

And Bitwarden has scary things like "self-hosting".

On linux it’s one pip install and you’re done

Isn't that how packages/dependencies work on windows as well? Once I got pip updated, I've never had any issues with it.

And you don't need to re:build green spaces to decarify. But you probably should.

Reminds me of an episode of Digimon where Joe (I think) says something like "I don't like eating on an empty stomach." But I think that was supposed to be an obviously bad excuse for not eating something he didn't want to try rather than serious statement, but I was never certain...

My current phone is almost 3.5 years old and I have no intention on upgrading anytime soon, but in the past I did tend to have to replace a phone about every two years. Mostly because POGO (and my being rough with them). Ports being damaged (and me not knowing how to repair them myself and others wanting to charge the cost of a new phone to repair it), being dropped, etc.

Curious how many of those 64% know what they're saying he's not guilty of.

Probably mostly Biden fans upset that someone probably doesn't want to vote for Biden for having policies that they don't want.

The same people probably think the comment they're downvoting is saying "bOTh paRties aRe thE saME" because reading is hard I guess.

Sometimes people miss-tap while scrolling. Also, on kbin at least, you can who downvote things if they're on kbin. I think if you run your own instance, as an admin you can see who as well?

    Maybe if they UK provided prescriptions to people in a timely manner, people wouldn't resort to other means of getting their medical treatment.

    WalrusDragonOnABike ,

    Honestly, I think I just avoid looking at people in general. I think it took a while for me to realize I was even doing something unusual. I think I noticed when people seemed to think I should know things like "what color shirt someone was wearing". Like, why would I know? Not sure that was an autistic thing though or more of a "I don't want people observing me, so I don't do that to others" kind of thing.

    How do you interpret other people’s eye contact?

    If I noticed someone is making unusual amounts of eye contract, I probably laughed at them. Just seems ridiculous and they most be trying to do it as a joke.

    I think I had someone ask why I was necroing something because I had responded to something that had been posted earlier that or the night before. Maybe it was older than 24 hours, but regardless it was a weird experience.

    If you're not going to vote for someone you otherwise would because of a single issue, you're a single issue voter.

    I thought it was you decided who to vote on based on a single issue. If you care about multiple issues, and any one of them is a deal breaker, then wouldn't you be a multi-issue voter?

    edit: "can can" -> "care"

    WalrusDragonOnABike ,

    But if you would have also not voted because of issue Y or Z are also dealbreakers, then you'd be a multi-issue voter. If candidate A believes Y and Z, but not X, candidate B believed in X and Y, but not Z, and candidate C that believes in X and Z, but not Y, so you just didn't vote, it would be clear its 3 different issues that you care about, but for each candidate, it would be a single issue why you aren't voting for them. Would that just mean you are a single-issue voter for 3 different issues?

    But if candidate A believes in Y and Z, candidate B believes in Z, and candidate C doesn't believe in any of them in a particular election, in that case X alone would mean not voting for any of them.

    I still like my more expensive carbon road bike and still happy with my purchase although it mostly collects dust now since most of my riding lately has been commutes by ebike because its too far and hot this time of year for an acoustic bike. Before I got the ebike, I did occasionally make the commute on my road bike, but I'd have to get there at least an hour early to cool off, clean up, etc. No way I'd ever consider doing that ride to work on my cheap aluminum hybrid: it would take too long and I'd be too tired to do my job.

    Ebikes were still in their infancy when I got my road bike (and the equivalent to my road bike costs like twice as much as I paid now). Would have cost much more. But I didn't purchase my road bike for commuting: I already had my hybrid then and my commute was so short that it was faster than a car without traffic. It was for the hobby.

    Curious how the plots on the left would compare if it compared population densities instead of populations.

    Obscure screw added so appliance cannot be disassembled ( lemmy.world )

    Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

    WalrusDragonOnABike ,

    I just pull the hair directly off the roller as is. No need to take it out. I clean it often enough that it would take more time to take it off no matter what screws it has. The worst part imo is the internal screws being phillips. Torx (whether "security" versions or not) > Phillips/Flathead.

    WalrusDragonOnABike ,

    I really did always hate that Reddit felt like a massive echo chamber.

    Lemmy is a collection of independent echo chambers that believe different things. You can make an account on some instance you never heard of before and get people assuming you have certain beliefs just because of your instance because apparently a lot of people stick primary to their home instance? In one instance, you have an echo chamber of "bOtH SiDeS aRe tHe sAmE" and other echo chambers that say things like "I won't vote for someone who aids in genocide".

    Some instances block more instances than others (the one you are on has blocked 172 instances, for example). And some instances are blocked by a lot of instances (lemmygrad is blocked by 89 instances). Also some instances disable downvoting, if that's something you're interested in.

    I don't think overpolicing is an issue in most places? Like, there's that one person who openly is pro-genocide in all of the palestine-related threads (like, they explicitly call for killing of even infants and that anything less is antisemitism) and I guess they're tolerated (just probably one of the most heavily downvoted people on lemmy). But if they're on an instance without downvotes, they wouldn't even see them.

    "Pretty quickly" is still like 5mph maybe during peak evacuation traffic from a major hurricane. Smaller hurricanes aren't a problem because so many people choose to stay after horrible experiences trying to evacuate before: safer to stay home than be stranded on i10.

    I think in the UK, that's the limit on ebike motors, but are considering upping it to 500W?
    A 750W motor can still struggle to go up a steep hill with pedal assist, so I find it weird that's even a question.

    Can't tell if you're saying they're weird for having this sort of vehicle or weird for not wanting that kind of vehicle to be delivering at their doorstep?

    Got permanent ban in r/LGBT and when i asked why I got a 3 day ban for promoting hate. ( lemmy.world )

    This was my conment on a post saying that pregnant people should always be used instead of pregnant women. My comment was under someone saying vitamins for pregnant women should say vitamins for pregnant people. I have a trans son and many trans friends. My comment was not promoting hate! Fucking reddit mods

    WalrusDragonOnABike ,

    Seems like you put way too much effort in opposing such a simple change. Why care at all if its changed to "people"? You sound a lot like people "just asking questions."

    "Biological female" is also a big red-flag.

    Some FTM may not even come out until they're already pregnant. Some may choose to not take HRT for the purpose of having a biological child. And you don't need to take HRT to be trans, so it also sound a bit too transmedicalist.

    WalrusDragonOnABike ,

    I never said i oposse it.

    Fooled me.

    Just that it sounds weird.

    Seems sus. But honestly its weird what people are about, so I wouldn't really blame you for feeling that way. For example:

    "I doubt a label such as 'vitamins for pregnant women' would"

    Back when I was an egg (ie: I had no clue I was trans), I remember specifically disliking when my parents got me shampoo with the label "men" on it. I've gone without deodorant because the one I usually got was out of stock and the next closest thing (the only other "vegan" one I knew of) was labeled "men". I've avoided multivitamins marketed for "men". I had no clue why that bothered me... I assumed I was cis-by-default. It still makes no sense why I care about any of that. But I certainly don't doubt there's trans men who care about such labels, even if just a little. Its probably not in the top 100 in the list of priorities, but there's no reason to waste even a sentence defending that kind of wording.

    Trans people already deal with enough BS elsewhere. No reason they should tolerate within their own communities. I'm currently banned from such a community I was a regular in and I'll defend them banning me for what they thought I was saying (even though its based on a complete misunderstanding).

    WalrusDragonOnABike ,

    As far as the phrase " Pregnant People" it does sound weird when you say it aloud. Its too illliteritive. Why not just Pregnant if theres a need to generalize or pregnant individuals?

    I dont see how that sounds weird. If you don't like the illiteration, you can replace it with another noun. Pregnant is an adjective afaik, so it needs a noun to be applied to. Of course language can change, but expecting vitamin manufactured to be the ones to change the part of speech of a word seems like getting the order backwards.

    I feel that its just as easy to actually ASK the person in front of you what term they prefer you use and then just use that term rather than try and generalize and lump everyone together.

    So vitamins aimed at pregnants (guess we are making it a noun now?) will have a person behind the table that asks what noun you want written on the bottle before they hand it to you?

    This isn't about individuals: it's a mass produced product. Of course for individuals you can tailor the language to the individual. I don't see why you would normal ask anyways: most of the time you'll just be implying someone doesn't pass, whether they're cis or trans and if they're trans and not comfortable coming out yet, then you may be putting someone is an uncomfortable position of choosing to come out or misgender themselves.

    As a cis women i wouldn't care to be referred to as a pregnant person but it would've really bother me enough for me to correct them. If they called me a pregnant man, I wouldn't get all offended and think they hate all cis women, id just laugh and correct them

    Seems like reasonable responses. I'd be confused why calling you a "person" would be incorrect, but I'd try to respect it, but I'd eventually conclude you are probably transphobic.

    I present as a guy and my body is masculine, so people gender me that way. It's not really a big deal imo - like there's certain specific terms like "man" that are kinda icky, but I'm not gonna care at all if you say "he."

    But that's just my own experience. Different people are going to be different. Still, at least most trans people I know don't get mad at people for misgendering them, even if they have their pronouns on their shirt or the people misgendering them have been corrected many times and are just intentionally being disrespectful. Of course some of the times, those interactions may make someone's day much worse even if they don't show it at the time.

    Cis people get the advantage of cis-by-default treatment. Of course trans people are going to be less secure in their gender on average given all of the transphobia in society. Even if a cis person is regularly misgendered, they can still easily feel secure in their gender simply because they of the way they were born. That same source of confidence for cis people is an obstacle to be overcome by trans people.

    On a 27" monitor, it makes a huge deal for things like web-browsing, spreadsheets, etc. For video games, its not something I generally notice the difference in with a notable exception being Terraria. Having smaller UI (but still clear) to give more usable space is the main benefits imo.

    Thought it seemed a bit exaggeratory, but given bullying (including physical bullying) is a thing people experience for being socially awkward, it may not be an exaggeration for some. I wasn't aware a the difference between masking neurodivergence or gender as a child or a young adult: I just subconsciously learned to behave in accordance to others expectations and keep quiet about some things.

    Why wouldn't a reasonable person pick the bear? Plenty of people have just ordinary, totally safe experiences with bears in their normal lives. Meanwhile, they have ordinary SV committed against them by men in their normal lives. Why shouldn't they pick the group that hasn't been a constant threat to them? Its not asking you to try to pick a fight with the bear.

    WalrusDragonOnABike ,

    Because you’re comparing a wild animal that can easily kill you with a single swipe, with a random normal person?

    Can easily kill is different than likely to. Plus, the same is true of any human, but they're also much more likely to have outcomes far worse than quickly being just being killed. Its a random person in the woods, not just a *normal *person (whatever "normal" is supposed to mean). But honestly, I don't think I'd put it past many "normal" humans (men and women) to commit at least minor SV in the "right" circumstances.

    I can, with 10,000,000,000% certainty tell you that way more people have vastly more ordinary, totally safe experiences with random men in their normal lives than with bears.

    Sure, but I'm just as certain that women have far more experiences with SV from humans than any violence from bears. Even if they're actual survivors of bear attacks, they're likely the victim of far more SV by men.
