Yes, they do. Many of them may be complicit, but not everyone is equally responsible for the harm their employer does.

This is gross and these workers obviously deserve better, but I don’t know what they expected working for Meta—the company most notorious for making billions of dollars violating everyone’s privacy (often illegally) over and over again.

There is definitely some truth to this, but I suspect these numbers are inflated quite a bit by all the BS LLM-generated bug reports.

Wow, I can’t believe Worf is making fat jokes.

100% this. Until spoofing is made technically impossible, spam calls will never end.

I suspect there is no incentive to ever break spoofing because companies use this to spam and trick you with solicitation. If there is money to be made off stagnation, all progress will be aggressively resisted.

No, we’re all busy watching DS9 without you.

This is a strawman. There may be no ethical consumption under capitalism, but not all consumption is ethically equal. Each individual makes a value judgement based on how much harm their purchase is doing and how much they need to make it.

That line is different for everyone, and you’re conflating those lines by collapsing trans people into a monolith. It’s inconsistent because people are different.

That being said, anecdotally, I don’t give money to any of the companies you listed, and neither do most of my friends afaik.

My ISP is stuck in the Stone Age and doesn’t support IPv6, so I’ll look into that.

Yeah I’m thinking the request frequency was the issue rather than bandwidth.

Thanks! I haven’t tried that dashboard yet, I might give it a spin.

I love this! It’s really hard to get parents to understand that it’s not erasing your childhood, it’s just re-framing it.

Nice stack! What’s the crab logo? I don’t recognize it.

Do you notice a massive increase in request latency (like 10x-50x) when using a CloudFlare tunnel vs connecting directly to your IP? I’ve experimented with it a few times, but it really negatively impacts QoS for me, especially with federated services (like Matrix) where there are lots of small requests.

I totally get why it’s relatable. “She’s the Man” based on Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”, so you may enjoy other re-tellings of that story.

I’ve always had conflicted feelings about this trope. I think men should allowed to be sensitive, gentle and compassionate without feeling out of place. However that doesn’t invalidate someone’s gender dysphoria.

I had this exact reaction to my dad ranting about Zohran Mamdani.

Depends on the build you’re going for.

Oh, thanks for looking out! Safe disposal is important.

I think I’m already there tbh.

I must have missed the 7th Heaven - Star Trek crossover.

Don’t read too much into those percentages. IIRC app uses solely pitch to generate that ratio. It has no way of measuring how masculine or feminine your voice actually sounds.

Any woman could get 100% male just by talking deep while still sounding like a woman, and vice versa.

Pitch is one factor that humans use to assume gender, but it’s not the only one and most vocal coaches agree that it’s not even the most important one.

My speech therapist helps a lot of trans folks and she specifically recommends people don’t use the analysis feature of that app because it usually just discourages people.
