Someone on Microsoft probably needed an excuse for their pay increase.
“I rebuilt/had the idea to rebuilt the taskbar” sounds a lot better to managers than “I maintained the taskbar”.

To be fair, the rust organization goes out of their way to take political stances. No other meaningful programming language is managed by an organization as politically active as rust’s. These fonts have absolutely 0 connection to politics though.


One of the techniques I’ve seen it’s like a “password”. So for example if you write a lot the phrase “aunt bridge sold the orangutan potatoes” and then a bunch of nonsense after that, then you’re likely the only source of that phrase. So it learns that after that phrase, it has to write nonsense.
I don’t see how this would be very useful, since then it wouldn’t say the phrase in the first place, so the poison wouldn’t be triggered.
EDIT: maybe it could be like a building process. You have to also put “aunt bridge” together many times, then “bridge sold” and so on, so every time it writes “aunt”, it has a chance to fall into the next trap, untill it reaches absolute nonsense.
the shape of the gap is almost the same as the peak in “other”. So that peak is probably “windows but we messed up with data collection” or “some browser in windows changed its user agent”.
How dare they collect data and display it in an accurate manner! They should just start by putting Linux at 50% and then move the lines a little bit.


I’m not dying on any hill. I am explaining why young men are turning right. But you’re doing a better job than I am, explaining why discriminating against men is somehow totally okay.


“very little” is what micro means.
If this was swapped and they were chosen just for being boys, some would be absolutely furious. But because it’s the other way around, it’s no big deal. Ok. Now ask yourself why young men are not as pro-feminism as they once were.


If that was the case, why would they lie and say that instead of saying that it was because they were the least bad?


For someone whose “job is not to educate me”, you’ve been pretty engaged in replying to every comment.
I’m educated. I know what the theory of gender you believe is, I just don’t think it is true. I can read a wikipedia article, but I cannot argue with it.
Yet again, I am left with no definition of man/woman given by a pro-trans person.


First of all. We probably don’t agree on what gender is. You’re treating it as a matter of fact and that you’re right and I’m wrong. And then you’re using that definition to base most of the rest of the arguments.
So if you want to convince me with those arguments, you have to first give a definition of man/woman that satisfies me.
You claim that those demands don’t affect me, but they do. Every financial help that the government offers affects everyone, since everyone is paying for it. In general changing any rule/law affects everyone in one way or another.
The gay movement was different, they mostly demanded societal change. The only rule/law I can think of that was changed for them is about marriage. Which we mostly all accepted since we as a society were more accepting because of the previous societal change.
With trans, however, they are demanding changes to rules/laws without previous societal change. They haven’t yet come up with a definition of gender that most people agree to, you can’t change rules/laws for things that most people don’t even agree if it exists or not.


Ah. I see you completely ignored one of the 2 examples. You’re also assuming I’m in the US (which I’m not, I’m a Spaniard). You only mentioned the photo thing, but completely ignored the entrepreneurship program.
I only mentioned the photo thing because for years I’ve been hearing that we live in a sexist society because some films don’t pass the bechdel test (idk if it’s spelled like that, I hope you know what I mean). Yet when men are completely erased from media then it’s because they are neck bearded fat guys. Again, this is not the US, this is Spain, the boys are fit good looking young men. Of course, my girlfriend is way prettier, but the boys are not ugly.
I didn’t give examples for the trans thing because I thought it to be self-evident and writing these posts take quite a bit of time. But here you go:
(Below when I say trans I mean “some trans and allies”, of course not all of them think 100% the same)
Also, the order of the issues neither in this comment nor in the previous one is in any way related to importance, IDK why you assumed that in the first place. And again, IDK why you assume US, most of the 7th paragraph only applies to the US. If trans were just saying “we exist, let us exist, don’t hate us just for existing” like the rest of LGB, I don’t think it would be an issue. Instead they say “we exist, and even if we are the 0.001% (made up number), we demand 50% of society’s focus, and if you don’t treat us exactly the way we want, then you’re a nazi”.
EDIT: sure, just ignore the concerns and read only the “weak” ones. And young men turning right will be as surprising to you as people not liking AI is surprising to Microsoft execs.


I don’t know if they had to pick someone. But even if they did, they should choose the better of them, instead of whichever had more women.
A 4.5/10 project is still better than a 3/10, even if neither would pass.


I didn’t have that experience, therefore you are lieing.
Wonder why men are turning away


Elaboration:
By women privilege I don’t mean anything to do with rape or sexual assault. Although laws that say “doing X to a woman is sexual assault” could easily say “doing X to a human is sexual assault” and nobody would complain, but that doesn’t score as much political points for leftist politicians.
I mean things like scholarships, entrepreneurship subsidies, gender-bas hiring quotas.
And many other things that used to be “micro-sexism” when it was done against women, now it’s done against men.
As an example, here’s some anecdotal evidence: my girlfriend studies mechanical manufacturing in a public school, they are about 10 people in class, 2 of them women. Every year they take photos/videos of students working to advertise their school. 2/2 times they “chose” the 2 women to appear in the mechanical manufacturing adds, 0 men.
Later on, each group made a project and submitted it for a government program for entrepreneurs. They only chose 1 group from her class (guess which one, the one with 2 women). When they attended the gathering of the awarded ones, they asked the organizers and they admitted that no group for their class was good enough, they only got in because they were 2 women in a mechanical manufacturing class.
Every time I say cases like this there is one of 2 responses from the left:
I never hear this reaction: 3. Yeah that’s fucked up, the men in that class are 2nd class citizens in the presence of women.


He’s the dictator of the world’s most powerful country. There’s few things he doesn’t have power over.


First of all. I don’t know why you are even assuming I voted for Donald Trump or the US republican party. I’m not even American, and I have never voted to any non-leftwing party. And I have voted in every national election I was allowed to vote in. So you can stop with that.
Those quotes become leftist talking points when many leftists use them, and other leftists don’t call them out on it, and you’re a Nazi if you don’t agree with those quotes.
What is a leftist position if not something that leftists say and they exclude you from leftism if you don’t agree to?


You claim that the left doesn’t vilify white men. That it just vilifies their behaviour. Yet I often see phrases like “all men are trash”, “whites are the reason the world is fucked up”, “I would rather be with a bear than a man”.


Yeah, keep antagonizing everyone that doesn’t have the exact same opinions you do. It’s gonna end great.
Also, that’s a lot of assumptions you made there.


So every white man has the same behavior? Or is “white man” a behavior itself? Should I change my skin color or cut off my dick?
This is important to me. More than “time until login” I’d prefer “time until queue”. I want to login before walking away because I want to open certain programs. So if an OS allows me to tell it “after you boot up, open these 3 programs” but hasn’t completely booted up, I would prefer it to one that only lets you open programs once it has booted.
And no, configuring so it opens the same programs at startup doesn’t count. I wanna choose every time I turn on the computer.
