I think there’s probably no such thing as womens problems or mens problems. Only human problems that bounce around and affect everyone.
To your point, yes absolutely these issues affect us all, because we’re all connected as humans. But you might want to reconsider how you phrase that. This has big “I don’t see color” energy.
Both men and women absolutely have unique and specific issues that need recognition if we are to meaningfully address them.
I understand what you are saying, but you don’t need a lived female experience to be a feminist.
I will declare you one. You are a feminist. Be proud.
Please reconsider the brother in christ phrase.
It’s problematic, because even if you don’t mean anything by it, it still normalizes and perpetuates christianity at a time when christian nationalism and Dominionism are on the rise and have taken over the US government. It also assumes the person you are talking to is also christian. Third, it reinforces patriarchy by assuming the person you are talking to is male.
I have no idea how it caught on and become popular, but I’m hoping that with a little self-reflection, we can all move away from it.
As others have said, at this point you don’t have a whole lot of choice; you pretty much have to use what the school provides you.
BUT, what you can do is try to rally other students to your cause. You pay the university, which means that students in numbers have influence over how the the university operates. I think your best chance to enact change is to create a petition to get the university to change to a more privacy-friendly alternative, and put together a proposal on how google and microsoft are harmful, and why your proposed alternative is better.

If you’ve never felt dysphoric, how did you end up finding this out? I’m super curious as to what you were/are feeling that led you to discovering this.

Custom pink translucent buttons, a purple Savage Raven case, and dbrand thumb grips.
That sounds great! Sometimes I want that too. I think downvotes have value when the content presented is misinformation, as a warning to people that a post should not be trusted and should be avoided. But that could also be accomplished by responding to the post.
This stuff is why I don’t comment much on Lemmy.
Same. I used to post more, under previous accounts, calling out sexism and misogyny on Lemmy when I saw it. But when my simple, respectful posts calling out toxic behavior got more downvotes than upvotes, I decided it wasn’t worth my time to try and change the collective thinking on Lemmy.
I recently did a rpi media player project and tried volumio, picoreplayer, moode, and others. I ultimately settled on installing android from konstakang.com. It was so much easier to set up imo for my use case, which was a focus on local music playback and keeping the files sync’d via my LAN. It even supported my hat DAC and my remote control.
GHD Platinum +. I have been using it for over 8 years now and it’s still working like new. Best flat iron I have ever owned.
Only downside is there is a gap on mine between the plates and housing on one side that’s just wide enough to catch a strand of hair sometimes.
+1 for Pangya!
What a fun and silly story this has! I have spent countless hours playing this! Overall my favorite game on the PSP.
Honestly the only real negative is the gotcha system for getting most of the accessories.
Years ago, I once started a new warehouse job, and on day 4, as I was moving inventory on a pallet jack, I see a guy in a forklift zipping by…wearing headphones…plugged into an ipod.
Everyone just accepted this. I didn’t, and I quit at the end of my shift, and told them why. I wasn’t about to get killed by someone driving a forklift who can’t hear their surroundings. Maybe I overreacted, but with how common forklift accidents are, I wasn’t taking the chance.
Thank you for saying that.
A lot of people learn this kind of pranking from others and they don’t see the harm in it, but it really is toxic behavior. I don’t know why anyone would want to make a loved one feel bad on purpose.
A good prank will have everyone enjoying it.
As someone who has both the Switch 2 and the Switch 1 OLED, I appreciate the performance boost that some of my games get with the 2, but I miss my OLED after giving it to my partner. I have even borrowed it a few times for handheld play because of the better screen and longer battery life.
Ultimately it’s up to you and how badly you want to play Switch 2 exclusives right now. Devs are going to keep making Switch 1 compatible games for years, especially given current global economic trends and the scaling back of larger game dev studios.
Personally, I would wait for Nintendo to make a Switch 2 with a better display. The display on mine is full of ghosting and once you notice it, you can’t un-see it and it’s disappointing.
I remember reading a while back that one person asking for a raise can be fired, but two or more people together asking for raises is considered collective bargaining and is protected under the law?
Didn’t GoPro start requiring online activation of their cameras a while back? Like customers couldn’t use it out of the box until they installed the smartphone app and activated it?
Edit: Looks like GoPro did try doing it by using dark patterns first and then getting more aggressive.

Trans women in the UK are not even close to legally equal, and that’s just the first group that popped into my head. Imagine how many more women might not actually have equal rights.
