Drew, shut the fuck up. Stick to criticising atrocities by the Chinese government. You were good at that.

Why the fuck are you talking about New York to begin with? It's the opposite side of the fucking world.

I'm guessing it was working when you tried it 2 months ago? Is it still working for you?

There is no such consensus. Scientifically, "sex" is so much more complicated. Hormones, hormone receptors, gonads, genitalia, secondary sex characteristics, and reproductive gametes, to name just a few of the components of biological sex.

People who are biologically known to be inter-sex (never mind anything about gender or identity) outnumber those with natural red hair.

But all of this is relatively unimportant. Only a doctor would ever need to know most of these things about a person, and only a doctor or a potential sexual partner would need to know the others. There's no circumstance in which anyone else needs to know any of these details about a person in order to decide how their interactions with that person should go. Especially not anyone who doesn't have a close personal relationship with the person. Gender is how someone expresses themselves in society, and that's the only thing that matters in most circumstances.

Oh right. No, it doesn't work that way in my experience. I've seen Mastodon users post to Lemmy Communities by @ mentioning them, and Mastodon users replying to posts. It often looks weird because replies have an @ mention (or multiple, in the case of replies to replies), but everything shows up in Lemmy how you'd want it to.

Plausible deniability went out the window in 2018 when he called people paedophiles because he's a projecting prick.

This wanktank wasn't on the market in 2018.

I bought this before Elon went crazy

I wonder how many people actually mean that, and how many people use it to protect their nazimobile from damage. Because he went openly crazy 7 years ago this year as far as I'm concerned. This isn't just a "since he owned Twitter" thing.

LW definitely can't handle more traffic than it already has. It already (thanks to the admins' refusal to update to the latest version of Lemmy, which fixes this issue) takes multiple days for LW content to get federated to other instances properly, which is why I've had to switch over to this alt account of mine because there are zero comments on this post in my main instance. With more users, that delay would grow from days to potentially weeks.

Sorry for the late reply, I don't use this account very often.

But by "it", I meant "entering characters using the HTML entity code". But I can see how my comment could have been interpreted to mean the nbsp itself.

On platforms that support it (Reddit definitely did, and I suspect Lemmy will), you can enter the nonbreaking space with  . 0 mg.

I like that in Fahrenheit 0 is a cold winter's day, and 100 is a hot summer's day.

Fahrenheit fans always say stuff like this, but it just doesn't work. 100 isn't too bad in that respect, but 0 is just insane. If you want it to be equivalent, 0 °F would be 0 °C. Because there's no way that -18 °C is as cold as 38 °C is hot.

Besides that, knowing about things like snow or ice outside, whether your fridge is likely to cause some stuff to frost over, etc., or whether the thing you're cooking has reached boiling point are all just as valid things for your day-to-day experience.

But besides all that, SI is a package deal. You use Fahrenheit and now you've got to redefine all the other units that are derived from the Kelvin, because now you're suddenly using Rankine.

Oh man, we had DC++ semi-officially endorsed by the inter-college IT department at my university in 2013/14. It was fantastic, especially since in my first year we only got 5 GB of data per month (with a large number of unmetered sites, including anything from Google), so without the unmetered file intranet it'd have been really hard to manage. Unfortunately as they increased the data caps it killed the popularity of DC++, which ended up getting killed off not long after I left.

I appreciate it, and if I ever do get around to doing something about aoe2 or aoe4 I may use that instance, or if I see someone else express interest in creating game-related communities I'll recommend they head in your direction. But for now I've already created it on this instance, and don't see the benefits as being strong enough to outweigh that.
