Millions of voters wanted it. They don’t realize that the circle of acceptable in-groups only gets smaller. They’re cheering at the cruelty today, but it won’t take long to catch them too.

Has Mozilla indicated any openness to taking that approach with Firefox?

Prompt “engineering” goes to show that you can stick the word engineer on the end of anything to make it sound official and important. Talking to a chatbot is not engineering of any sort

 

I joined Mastodon over on mastodon.social, which has served me well. But I’d like to migrate to another instance that is more tailored to my interests. Are there any particular instances that run on clean energy and are focused more around ecology and sustainability?

Well, there are many reasons someone could come to dislike cops, but their legacy and ongoing patterns of brutality and racial discrimination both come to mind.

I have a similar setup, and no. Once it’s configured, it’s easy peasy, but it would probably be a difficult and confusing process for a non-technical person to get through without help. Addy.io is a great service that a non-technical user shouldn’t have any issue using

Is there a particular reason why Cyprus is such an outlier for being much more Christian?

My therapist has years of training to know how to appropriately and responsibly help people with their emotions and trauma. An AI can say words that might be similar to what a therapist would say, but there’s no way I could ever trust an AI to handle such personal and important parts of me

That was an excellent and well-thought out response, thank you for sharing it! It’s a thorny question for sure, and I appreciate your nuanced view

I am a trans woman who was raised Catholic, so I feel similarly. I’ve had to do so much work in therapy just to get to a place where I can accept myself for who I am. A lot of those old beliefs were baked in deeper than I realized.

I carry a lot of resentment towards my (very devout) parents for raising me in the church, but I also recognize my experience is not emblematic of every person’s experience being raised in a religious household.

Oh, not too bad. Feeling annoyed with my hair, today. I’ve been growing it out, and it’s about shoulder length now. However, when I started to grow it out, I did it with an undercut. Now I’m trying to grow the undercut out to have all my hair the same length, and it’s at an awkward stage right now. I can’t really put my hair back, because the disconnect is too stark and the undercut is awkward length. But my hair gets greasy after like a day, so wearing it down means I have to stay really on top of washing it. Not the end of the world to deal with for a few months, but just kind of obnoxious
