We're definitely nowhere near "fuck it" levels, as the article says, we sure can make things a lot more awful if we decide now that we can't do anything about it anyway.
But maybe we need a stronger example than.. Bike lanes.. Though I get the point he's making.

Sometimes I check out /r/technology and /r/worldnews through libdirect proxy, as well as the slightly more occasional tech-support hunt, but I don't feel the need to interact with it.

Saw a thread of people circlejerking "fuck spez" and giving a bunch of rewards to each other under a thread where /r/space was reannounced, and I was so surprised these people thought they were doing anything

Assuming your colleague had gotten raises through merit, it's obviously silly to roll that back, I would've thought that they'd account for raises given that it wasn't actually implied that they had to act on this, just disclose the difference, and this reminds me I'm probably foolish in imagining such a thing would just be itself in a vacuum (ie not fuck up things that are kinda encouraging people to do their job better)

Could you give me the title of this specific paper

Sorry for the long wait, "Gender and types of intimate partner violence: A response to an anti-feminist" (literature review) by Johnson MP. in 2011, which was a year before
I use this paper most of all to show what feminist academics thought even 10 years ago, since the video seemed to still have these misconceptions, and they mostly argue against Straus for misrepresentations and ill conclusions of others' works and beliefs.

Your second study doesn't seem to support the point based on its abstract, from point a to f

First Study: References Examining Assaults by Women on Their Spouses or Male Partners: An Updated Annotated
is a bit of a mess, as most of the things citing it doesn't really use it for the purpose of saying "women are as physically aggressive as men", and it for some reason brings a child-abuse study(?), a bunch of anecdotes, and an internet survey from the middle of a sociologist's book (not paper) up in its first part, but this put me down a further rabbithole of Gender Symmetry discussion which I hadn't delved into before, 1 2 and I'll admit it at the very least doesn't seem like a settled debate, so I retract what I have to say about Gender Symmetry itself since idk anymore

I don't think it is unreasonable to assume that these aspects may skew the statistics on perpetration rates between men and women.

I fully agree, (think my wall even says so) but from any not-radfem feminist perspective, this seems to be parts we acknowledge, it's just also viewed as caused by Patriarchal society as it previously stood and perpetuated by how it currently stands

Thanks for your input as well, it forced me to learn a little more about what I don't know

With Linux still being 1.4% that's actually a lot less steam decks bought than I thought there'd be. Or I guess something fucky could be going on with what i assume is the majority of people with a steamdeck, those with Windows and a Steamdeck

nah don't worry, Manjaro users will tell you they use Manjaro

Twitter has shown that there is an audience for companies (and apparently presidents) engaging via public social media.
Corporations rely on algorithms to get attention on their eyes, and it's especially convenient to have everyone on the internet on a 'central hub', where you can make sure the most people have a chance to get hooked on what you do (this is also the case for smaller creators like digital artists)
as Twitter proves unreliable I imagine corporations as well as smaller freelancers will work to give Meta's alternative some legitimacy in the public's eyes so that they're not shit out of luck
Though Meta's bleeding money as it is, they might not be the horse worth betting on anyway.
