    They’re at their home, the kid is just calling other kids, the mother doesn’t seem aware of it, the looks of the tablet hints at a young kid, I don’t think it’s normal for parents to have a ~8 years old kid at home having video calls without knowing it and/or checking on it.

    But according to the downvotes I guess the best line of action is to give them unlimited access to the internet and only start thinking when they get kidnapped or traumatised. Now *that" is good parenting.





  • You do understand though that the subject was brought by fascists trying to push the narrative of trans as a threat, and that all of the posts about trans rights are trying to counter this overflowing narrative, right?

    Also I’m sorry but you never need to cooperate with the nazis. If you consider that a minority should be eliminated simply because they are not like you, you do not deserve any form of respect or attention. Or as I’ve seen before, if you are in a protest and someone is undisturbed waving a nazi flag, you are part of a nazi protest.

    You are (intentionally or not, hard to say) pushing the typical stance of the “enlightened centrist” that goes on to say “both sides are wrong so I’m not going to pick sides” which effectively is the same as siding with the fascists. And for the sake of argument, even if people were pushing trans right “too much” (it’s not the case), then so what? If it bothers you so much then it’s probably because you’re against it, I myself am subscribed to a trans community that tends to post a lot of news that I don’t necessarily care to read, but I just keep it because I think it is important to know about it and if I don’t feel like reading it I just skip it. Why on earth would I see it as divisive, unless I am hurt by the existence of trans people?

    All in all, it doesn’t feel like you are genuine and if you are, you are definitely misguided (or influenced?), either way your messages only help and support the narrative of fascists who love the idea that fighting for trans rights could be seen as the cause of chaos and division, it’s their newest scapegoat after all.


  • I don’t define anything like that. What you criticized was people defending trans rights, which definitely is transphobic. Don’t try to sugarcoat and blur what you initially said.

    And if no one gives a shit and the rights are deserved, how do you justify being annoyed with it? If I see people fighting for the right to eat cold fries I’d say “sure, go ahead”, I wouldn’t start opposing them and saying that they’re sowing division. The difference of course being that trans rights are a serious matter.

    You’re just trying to suggest, intentionally or not, that defending trans people is negative for society, and if that is not transphobic I don’t know what is.





  • Most performance optimisation can be done through improving algorithms and data structures, and knowing well the language you’re using.

    I don’t think I’ve encountered any performance issue that wasn’t either:

    • Unavoidable because of what I’m doing
    • Coming from an inefficient data structure or algorithm
    • Coming from a bad use or pitfall of the language.

    Of course there are specific cases such as low-power environments and such, but that’s not what most people talk about when they talk about performance.

    I also would like to point out my confusion with the obsession towards performance when it’s not needed (such as “is languageA 10% faster than languageB?”) but then everyone putting web technologies everywhere, from games to desktop software. It’s starting to feel like performance is more of a cult than a pragmatic question at this point.
