Heh. If you’re so smart, why did you make a typo? I’m not going to listen to an idiot who doesn’t know the difference between <word you typed> and <word you clearly meant>.

You’ve got to be on constant alert or your phone’s autocorrect changing lets to let’s at the wrong time will derail the entire conversation.

I’m fairly certain it’s attempts now that I’ve looked at it again. It’s been a long time since I’ve read breakdowns of the studies and what the numbers all mean. It wasn’t as simple as 41% of trans people attempt suicide. The numbers went down post transition and I don’t think suicide attempts had to be serious attempts to be counted (I think it’s worth nitpicking this).

Edit: Tried finding the survey the number comes from and got a bunch of different responses that are just confusing me more at this point. I’m probably done here, since researching suicide statistics isn’t a ton of fun.

It’s also not the suicide rate. It’s either the has attempted suicide at least once in their life rate or the thought about it rate. Can’t quite remember which, but definitely not the suicide rate.

I wonder if where you have your account affects how you notice where the trolls are from? Like I don’t notice trolls coming from .world much because I just see a username, where a troll from .ml is username@lemmy.ml.

If I were launching an air raid on a flat earth, I’d have the planes fly over the edge and under the earth. They wouldn’t be able to see you coming.

Doesn’t Samsung messages support RCS? I know it did at one point. You just had to go into the settings and enable the option.

It’s more like like a seasoned veteran, not cooking seasoning.

You aren’t throwing garlic on the pan and then putting it in the cupboard. You build up layers of polymerized oil on the pan as you cook on it.

Wow. And here I was thinking Elmer’s glue was named after the Borden cartoon cow. It’s nice knowing you can learn history like this from Lemmy comments.

That’s just a high latency internet connection.

They haven’t though? I just checked the list of blocked instances and they are both still there.

I’m just saying that the ‘IP addresses change’ argument is something courts have been dealing with for decades at this point. It’s a useless argument since ISPs keep track of who was assigned which IP at which time.

Every piracy lawsuit deals with that question. They simply subpoena the ISP, asking who was given that IP address at the given time. The ISPs keep track of that and they will give you up in the face of a subpoena.

It’s why people always make such a big deal about using a VPN that doesn’t log. The idea is that if your VPN provider doesn’t keep track of your activities, it can only respond to a subpoena with a “Sorry, we don’t keep track” letter instead of selling you out.

The ads thing is because you probably have a different idea of what an ad is then they do. Usually when they are talking about ads, it’s self-promotional stuff. Teams being built in, Onedrive asking to be setup, and especially Edge constantly begging you to give it a chance.

There’s also that link to the Microsoft store for Candy Crush in the start menu of fresh installs of Windows 10. I imagine that’s what kicked off the whole ‘loaded with ads’ thing. That’s one anyone can agree on.

Sad to see that we might have to wait until 2028 for a better looking Playstation console. I like that it’s half of the height of the PS5, should make it easier to find a place for it.

It’s considered a slur against disabled people in Britain. It has the same origins in the US, but now the word is mostly used to describe high energy kids who can’t sit still.

You haven’t used Linux until you’ve accidentally destroyed your install. Reversible damage like uninstalling your shell or breaking your display server counts as partial credit.

Nothing like seeing comments calling trans people the “Karens of the lgbtq community” with tons of upvotes to make you feel nice and welcome. Even the not transphobic person that the reports were about showed up to kindly let us know that every trans woman they know has a huge chip on their shoulder.

Edit: I remembered that this instance disables downvoting. This is the exact reason I’ve always been a fan of downvotes. If a mod won’t remove transphobic content, at least you know that the community around you disagrees with them.

They aren’t trying to move to be completely cloud based. That was a bad headline that misconstrued what they were actually doing. The article actually just talked about how they wanted Windows to be fully streamable from the cloud as an option.

Besides this not being true, how is this relevant? What point are you trying to make?
