  • Tangentially related. Does anybody know if there’s a browser extension or database that collects the obviously LLM generated websites?

    I run into lots of websites where all I think is “this can’t possibly be a human writing this, right?” All I can do is show it to my friends and family for validation.


  • What you said about YaST, I 100% agree with.

    I distro hopped a lot.

    Mained Manjaro for a while… but now that I’ve found OpenSUSE, I’m not going anywhere. The convenience and polish YaST has is unbelievable.

    Tumbleweed has been on my main machine for 3 years now? I also have OpenSUSE “Kalpa” installed on my TV box, and Leap on a laptop.

    I dabble in NixOS, but Tumbleweed is my true love.




  • I’m sorry it doesn’t make sense to you. But firstly, I didn’t claim I was “against” gender norms, but simply that me and my friends don’t care.

    Norms exist, period. You cannot force norms to disappear, but you can make it easy and painless to reject them for how you act in life. I am not against them, I simply pay them no mind.

    And gender is more than chromosomes, it’s personal, it’s identity, it’s intimate. Gender need not be something so easily and rigidly defined, we have another term for that, “sex”.

    What kind of right-wing values do you think I hold? Because again, “gender = chromosomes” is not a leftist value.


  • Assuming you’re saying all this in good faith, I can confidently say your assertions on what leftists believe is entirely off the mark.

    In my experience the more left you are, the less you care about gender norms, stereotypes, and roles. More importantly, the most left-wing people I know are the least onboard with the framing of “gender = sex” and “gender is binary”.

    Personally in my own political journey, the more radically left I’ve gotten, the more conscious I’ve been of how things actually work for marginalized and queer folk. I used to be largely politically unconscious, and I used to think that “all the trans stuff” was confusing and weird “how can you be non-binary? That doesn’t make any sense at all.”

    However, the more I’ve understood the world through a leftist lens, the more I’ve actually comprehended the reality the LGBTQ+ community lives in… and it’s gotten less scary as a result.

    I’m very left, and I do not believe an ounce of what you say I’d believe.
