If you haven't already, try out KDE's Krita. Incredible piece of software, much better for drawing imo

Ngl that link puts me slightly off. It reads exactly like what people booted for very good reasons say

The following paragraph shows how so-called cancel culture was used weaponising [...]

And in the email, Mozilla talks about him violating their "inclusivity" policy... we also don't know what was reported, only the reasons stated.

Not saying that it wasn't unjust, just that we only have 1 perspective and it's written in a way that raises some red flags.

Is it for sure Microsoft?

Dog heaven is also pig hell. It's a very efficient system.

"The transgender topic" is already weird as a statement (kinda like "the gay agenda", it comes off as only considering it as a political statement?), and "clearly promoted by the bourgeoisie" implies it's bad.

"As far as [...] lgbt flags on government buildings": it's... not far at all? Again, weird statement.

"Biological male" is both wrong for the boxer (she's cis) and generally used for transphobia (trans women on HRT aren't biological males by any reasonable definition). It's also generally conspiratorial.

Overall it's not explicitly transphobic or bad to me, but it shows at minimum a very misinformed perspective.

But there's no "biological" reason for that. In the same way, skirts/dresses being for women and suits/ties being for men, leg hair, haircuts, voice, mannerisms, emotional availability, all get tied one gender or another.

We, in our society, have associated some properties to one of two genders. Some of these properties tend to be associated to one sex (sex being a more "biological" thing (but still not binary or unchangeable!)), but many of them are just expectations we put upon people. This is what "gender is a social construct" means; that the general understanding and intuition about gender is constructed by the society in which we live. Different societies may have more than 2 genders or completely different sets of associations.

Unfortunately these categorizations are bad for a significant portion of the population, including trans people, gender non-confirming people, but even cishet people; how many times have you heard of some act making you "not a real man" (eg crying for a movie)?

I'm assuming this is referring to JSO.

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]

On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]

Yes, a lot of their protests are "awareness" stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it's not just that. The UK isn't an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.

Last one is the only one I actually got (and MHA actually). It's animal crossing. Edit: Oh! Second to last is Artemis Fowl

I checked out Nostr relatively recently and it seemed to me it was full of cryptobros and extremely right-wing people (libertarians, Trump fanatics. A ton of racism and queerphobia, also a bunch of conspiracy thinking). Has anything changed?

Uh. Buddy. They absolutely are known for building a shitload of trains. There's the Gottard, which is the longest tunnel through a mountain, and I think also the steepest railtracks in the world?

You've never heard of swiss trains always being on time?

This is a really solid explanation of how studies finding human behavior in LLMs don't mean much; humans project meaning.

You posted to it lmao, by @ ing linux@lemmy.ml. Fediverse!
