No, it is unnecessary, and it would break many auto updating websites, for example, if you use mail in web, then your mail provider has web sockets to get notifications from server to fetch you mail.
I generally would recommend to disable javascript , and have a whitelist for websites you trust (easily achievable by ublock, or no script). If they do not have js, most attack vectors are neutralised. If you can trust a website to run js, you can trust it to run web sockets.
old reddit or libreddit (now redlib). If you browse without accout, that should be enough. If you have a account, I would still enable js only for old reddit and not reddit as whole.
TL;DR - why do we need so many terms? can we all not use just a simplified pronoun system (as explained below, or if someone else comes up with something better), and can we stop adding a sexual preferences as a part of gender, as that is something too personal in my opinion? ...
Thank you, you made many things clear. I have kinda used gender and sex kinda interchangably, because in my native tounge, there is no separation. Also, most people LGBTQIA+ representation in media here mostly focused on the sex part. What you refered to as gender in your reply, is what i refered to as "orientation" in my post, mostly because that is how I have understood geneder like that till today - How do you want to be addressed, and for example, how do you dress up.
You’ve probably never felt the need to do this because (as you state) you’re male and you identify as male and your outward appearance is male
I want to ask one more thing, I have never asked/thought of my gender. When you say "you identify as male", I do not know what that means, what does it mean to identify as a male or female or something else. As I wrote above, in my native tounge, there is no separation.
so I’m going to assume you’ve never had anyone misgender you, but not everyone is so lucky - or privileged, you might say.
As I said, I understand that I am privileged. Though I have been misgendered, mostly because my voice is quite shrill, and people often confuse me of being feminine over phones.
I am sorry, but it kinda because of the cultural non separation of these 2 concepts in my mother tongue. I did explain it a bit more in another comment
thank you, hearing from a person of GSM definitely gives me a better perspective.
but usually there is a ‘prefer not to say’ option.
I do not like that option (it kinda feels like hiding a crime or something). But where I live, most of the time, it is just male/female/others. That still feels harsh, and kinda in line of saying all other "gender minorities" but still feels a bit blunt.
If respecting a non-trans person’s gender would be doing the same things, to you, then sure
Pardon me, but I did not understand this sentence at all. Can you please elaborate (or eli5) it?
I learnt the term aero-ace in a jaiden animations vid, where she explained it, and that seemed to match with me. I have not explored my gender or sexuality yet, and have never felt the need to do so
No shade taken. I was just acknowledging my priviledge. We sometimes forget that we get a lot of things, which we think are natural and everyone has, until you meet people who do not. And it never hurts to be reminded that what you got is something not yet "normal" for everyone.
Having a voice that doesn’t match your gender identity is a great example of why you might want to tell someone your pronouns the first time you talk to them, though (if appropriate).
I have almost never felt the need to do so, in fact, I do get a bit amused by it. As I said, I do not have a notion of male/female. If someone considers me feminine, I do not feel any different. It maybe a mental thing, or again, a by product of my upbringing.
English is a pretty shitty language to learn, especially as a second language.
I used to somewhat dislike english for being confusing, but it is effectively my first language. I have read/written English more than any other languages combined (4 others) and also spoken it the most/ 2nd most. I find it good enough. Especially, since it's lingua franca in academia
If someone’s trying hard to pass as a gender that doesn’t match their sex, having someone misgender them feels pretty awful.
understandable. I can see that someone who might have past trauma, or something alike, it would only sprinkle salt on wounds. In my case, I am basically a slowpoke.
I think what’s important is that we’re willing to learn.

hey jubliant, do you remember me? Greetings! How are you doing? (In case you do not, we had personal chat)
I consider the identity obsession of Gen Z to be mostly narcissistic self-regard. It reflects our society’s rampant individualism, where kids have become a lifestyle choice and pampered like fragile consumer objects. I don’t have any answers about how to fix any of this. Indeed I’m something of an individualist myself.
this seems a bit to harsh. As I see, most people are overly stimulated, this just makes them react a bit more visibly. This is also because of social media. Some news from other side of globe that you may have never got earlier, or weeks later, you now get that in minutes, and similarly, the friction to post is also very low, so most people feel like "raising voice". Though I do not treat raising voices online to be equivalent to in person voice raising but that is a separate discussion. Maybe individualism is on a rise, because our lives now do not depend much on other people (it still does, now you just do not have to interact with them), so you do not hear about their problems or perspective.
that was not the part of chain i wanted to refer to. Essentially, my native tongue (or culture in which I was raised), there is (was) no difference between sex and gender, as in, there were not separate concepts. What you guys would call a gender (and this is also partly based on interaction in this chain, where I even ask what does being a male even mean) - users preference of pronoun, or attire, etc is what I called orientation in my op (again, I also said in op that I do not know if that is correct term for it, and it was not).
the paragraph you have highlighted was the only part where I refered sex as sex (the one associated with your partner/s). Other than that paragraph, I mostly (I am guessing here, again, for me concept of gender is new and still fuzzy) meant gender.
I would apologise again for mmy lack of knowledge on this stuff, and this post has helped me understand gender better.
Most people either use google as their search engine, or one of the "privacy friendly ones" (ddg, qwant, brave, startpage, ...), or use self hosted or publicly available metasearch engines, like searxng, or whoogle, etc. ...
I am not gaoing to say anything on ecosia here, since i do not know much about them. All I can say is, most of the ad revenue is going towards bing api pricing, then their servers and other costs of doing a business (for example, rent, electricity, regulations, etc), then their employees, then if they have some amoun of oney remaining, they would possibly use it to plant it. Most people doing business do not immediately want to use their profits, and generally invests parts of profits back to build some runway (ad revenue is not consistent), invest in employees (insurances or incentives), or payback any loans. Even if they have some vc funding or recieving grants, they would have to profitable by themselves, and then only can they plant tress. And keeping this in mind, my guess would be that they are not planting that much
This is one part of what I wanted to convey, but for example - bing has some results - they uprank sites they are paid by - then send to ddg - ddg again adds ads - sends to you. /you are effectively using bing with better privacy (I don't mind ads, I can recognise/avoid them). And other problem with ddg is the thing that I brought up - bing is planning/already underway (depending on source of information) to scratch its search api, and mostly replace with a "ai powered api". Most users of bing api would have to find alternatives.
Same with searx, you are more private (assuming you use a public instance), but it is not great for open web. the up/downranking done at source by bing/google can not be avoided (it can be done, afaik there are some scripts/extensions to hide results from certain sites, but you still can not uprank (can not uprank something that was not even sent to you)), and it hurts smaller websites, like articles or forums that are not big platforms or doing heavy seo.
One should most definitely use more than 1 search engine. You can even find interest specific engines.
In this particular case, have you tried checking out uncensored models, maybe trained primarily for west locally, maybe some mistral model. I am not saying western models would give you correct or better or unbiased answers, but if you use multiple sources, you can probably form some results yourself. you can possibly keep a combo of smaller quant of small models (8b should run reasonably if you have 16 gib memory, even 12-14 B models can work, and you can download 2-3 models from different providers)
Side questions: Are you allowed to use huggingface in china? similarly, is all your lemmy life through vpns, or is lemmy small enough not large enough to yet be censored. Also, if you do not mind answering, how is the infamous firewall implemented? is it a blacklist banning certain stuff, or whitelist allowing only selected stuff, or some combinations (like for example, (and I am not accusing china of censoring wiki here, I just do not know enough, and just trying to form a hypothetical example) ban whole wikipedia, but whitelist only certain articles, or whitelist all of wiki, and ban only certain articles, or something like ban english wiki, then whitelist some stuff, but keep all chineese wiki whitelisted and then possibly block some? Also, how is vpn usage treated by government? is it discouraged, or encouraged, or if you use it a lot, and possibly mix some irl activity and vpn activity, is it pursued in some ways?
Sorry for asking so many questions, but I was just curious. In any case, if you feel uncomfortable, do not answer any question. Thank you
Thanks for sharing. I have heard pretty crazy stuff, and this seems more believable.
off the shelf Wireguard or OpenVPN are immediately detected and blocked with no chance to get through at all
Is it possible for you guys to buy vps outside and somehow pay them (that would probably be the hard part) or maybe find some friends or diaspora outside, and have them pay for vps to set your personal vpns. You can make it somewhat obfuscated, and mostly hide it as some work related stuff.
Do you guys use tor or i2p? I would presume you are "allowed" but still have to hide it.
On average I have to spend 10% of my working time every just trying to get a good connection online.

fair point, you currently have to compromise on either "ethics" (a bit stronger word than I would like to use) or result quality. My only try is to promote independent engines in hope to improve them such that market gets more competitive

For me, fitgirl installer does not work with wow64 (where you do not have to install 32 bit libraries). I had earlier also tried with wine-wow64 package from chaotic aur repo, and it did not used to work back then, and now arch linux has made the default wine package wow64 version. This has benefits (smaller package size, you ...
bottles uses its own version of wine (i think it is called something like soda) which is older and would probably still have lib32 stuff. I prefer distro packages.
WoW64 is a Windows subsystem for running 32-bit stuff on 64-bit Windows. You’re talking about Wine’s implementation of WoW64 - there’s the old one which needs 32-bit Linux libraries and the new one which doesn’t.
I do know about this. to be specific, wine team since 9.0 stablised using there newer wow64 stuff (iirc, this was one of the blockers to use wine on non x86-64 architechtures), and since then, there has been aur package to play around it. I used to only use it, but receently i wanted to download a game, and faced this bug. then I reverted back to normal arch package which is in multilib repo and depends on lib32-*. Now the main arch package is using the newer wow64 implementation.
I did hint at the the fact that I did not find much in logs. I have not checked the verbose logging (which shows each dll involved, each bit of memory read, etc), but with regular logging,
these are the only lines that come when actual installation starts. The installer stays stuck at at some percentage (varies depending on total game size, and size of compressed binaries)
I think it is related to freearc decompression, because at this point in installer, the various .bin files (the compressed files are named like fg-*.bin, where * is some number, they are FreeArc archive files) are decompressed when using older wine version, with this, they are just stuck. I can not C^c the proceess, I have to pkill all the running wine processes. There is something related to wine written in fitgirl faq, which also hints at replacing the dlls for this, but that does not work for me
i have not tried any others (just don't "pillage" enough). But my wild guess would be no, mostly because others do not compress that much or use freearc. fitgirl compresses a bit more than others. I prefer their repacks because of their great repuatation, large amount of seeders, and small size (i have terrible internet).
This is not a huge problem, you can still get wine builds with older lib32 implementations (for example on arch, you can check aur (and by extension chaotic aur), most other distros would have not changed yet), so you do not have to install on windows and move over.
