It does!

Oh the way Bowie SEEEEETHES at the crowd’s laughter 😲✨

At least regionally, “guys” as in “hey guys” and “you guys!!” and “uh, guys?” – that is, to address a group is indeed gender neutral.

In the Midwest you will absolutely hear spaces comprised solely of women use “guys” to address the group. Only the oldest sticklers/prescriptivists would insist said group be addressed as “ladies”

That said, more than a few trans women I’ve met – even locally – don’t have that lived experience and I can imagine they find it difficult to believe.

The search for less ambiguous language to protect their feeling of acceptance and safety is worthwhile even though “you guys” is a neutral address.

+1 to this. Tried a bunch of FOSS keyboards and switched to HeliBoard because of it! Wouldn’t you know, autocorrect experience improved 😮‍💨

Library of Congress > Dewey Decimal all day every day 😜

Well said. I can’t help but* imagine an alternate universe in which the fascist ghouls embraced their age and features for their own sake instead of twisting into the fucked up white supremacist beauty standards. Its as depressing as it is dunk-worthy

And I hope its soon, I’m sick of these plague ridden blood sucking ticks 🫩

My heart sinks when I see slop here, but rises again when the comments call it out and make it clear its not cool

Its got the old-internet small town vibe for sure

IMO, Linux users (myself among them, fwiw) are broadly less insufferable now that Windows shat the bed so hard and replacing/upgrading machines became unaffordable.

I see a lot less “only rubes use Windows, I run Linux 😎” attitudes and more “Linux gave me my computer back” which reconverted me after a long Linux hiatus sparked by impossible driver puzzles on a busted netbook in the early 2010s.

Every machine in my home runs CachyOS and it removed stress from our lives. Windows at this point is like a neglectful ex, and KDE the new partner that treats me right 😊

My sincere apologies for misunderstanding! 🙇

The advantage is getting kudos for something you wrote ages ago and seeing your creative expression impact others who share your passions :) lots of folks dont get that much IRL
