Didn’t realise you weren’t American, sorry for assuming. Admittedly I’m very jaded right now (and a bit drunk) with all the threats of invasion and with Americans either laughing it off or being all for it (and I recognise that’s not all Americans but it’s enough). Like, “haha, Canada will turn the USA blue!”

And fine, yeah Canada is pretty up there for LGBT rights, but when one of the main platform points (imported from the USA!) from the Conservatives right now seems to be just straight up attacking trans people, it makes me pretty worried. I have multiple family members and a few friends who are trans or non binary and the rhetoric is scary.

But TL;DR, not angry at you, just America(ns). I apologise to the good Americans, but your country is exporting a lot of bullshit right now. More than usual

This timeline? Where the US is nearly the last of any western nation to legalise gay marriage?

And isn’t your country actively trying to work back any progress you’ve had in the last decade? Trans rights, queer rights, women’s rights, minority rights.

Also isn’t it Americans who are pushing the most for anti-LGBT legislation in African countries?

Canada is falling down the same hill when it comes to trans rights, and it hurts me, but I’m not out here saying that Canada is any sort of leader in the field. I recognise the issues my country has and I’m going to fight to fix them.

Knock off the American exceptionalism for one second and deal with the problems your country has

From Americans?

Oh mailbox seems cool. I’m personally using mxroute.com to host my domain’s email but to be fully honest, I’m still stuck on the Gmail for most things.

I mostly use my person domain email for things like a contact address on my résumé.

I want to switch fully to my personal domain email but mxroute’s web app(s) kind of suck 😅

Me being too lazy and putting off switching to Proton has paid off!

I just checked and Amoxtli’s instance, thelemmy.club doesn’t defederate from lemmynsfw.com!! We have a pervert over here 😲

Oh, yeah I’m a Linux kernel contributor now

Knowing companies, they won’t realise anything and will just make their existing employees pick up the slack

That’s true, but they still usually aim to be the first “next gen” console on the market every generation. Admittedly it probably would really affect them if they didn’t hit that but that’s how they’ve always done it

I saw on Twitter that Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!

Yeah, obviously. The interesting thing is that the Witcher 3 and Bloodborne hold up so well though and are still actively talked about. The Witcher 3 still looks beautiful even without the recent upgrades and Bloodborne could look fantastic if it wasn’t limited by the PS4 specs.

It’s kind of a testament to the fact that we’ve mostly plateaud in terms of real graphical advances imo

Wait, can you go into more detail? I don’t feel like reading the entire thing as it’s not really my area of expertise

I refuse to get my hopes up until a game is already released and even then I’m going to question it

dead internet

That’s very open of them

That’s an Onion level of capitalism

This is true even for my personal projects lol

True. Good way to get people to take action if you wanted the projects you’re invested secured lol.
