Tfw I don’t have to know Esperanto

Fair point!

But again, this is mostly useful in a production environment, not as a home user imo.

At least three times that I can recall

I am a grad student, and I often wish we wouldn’t make too much distinction. It’s just creating problems out of thin air.

Even as an adjective in scientific context.

Nope, not proud as in “yay I’m so happy to be male”. Proud as in “I’m a male and there’s nothing bad about it or the wording around it, I’m happy to be who I am without shitting on anyone being different”

Not here in particular, but I have been called out several times for using the word “female” in an appropriate and normal context.

Why?

One can call a group of men “males”, and no one bats an eye. But once anyone uses “female” to refer to a woman, it’s a shitshow.

People do use them as nouns. For example, in statistical/scientific context: “Among males/females…”, or “I’m a male”

And I certainly saw the word “males” being commonly used, which is pretty much why I’m so baffled by the need to banish its counterpart.

Incels may call women whatever, but actively banishing the word because it was appropriated by some group of weirdos isn’t gonna help - rather, it will only deepen the flawed interpretation of a very regular and normal word, assigning context to where there was none.

I’m a proud male. Why can’t there be a proud female? This only means she is a woman, after all.

We’re talking risk for the system here.

Sure, I had to make that distinction. I only mean personal home use here.

The latter. Even without mortgage, here in my city it would take 150 months of an average salary to buy a fairly modest apartment, and we’re speaking average, which is very far from median. With mortgage…you simply wouldn’t be able to cover the interest payments, so it’s out of the question.

Also, government tries to step in to compensate a bit for the families with children. But overall, the insane interest rate reflects in everything. I currently pay out a loan at 35% APR.

Can we stop with this for once?

Men are male, women are female. These words are interchangeable, and whoever decided one should be somehow bad or derogatory is deranged. Claim the words for what they are. Use “male” and “female” in appropriate context.

Honestly, my current stance on immutable distros is: why don’t you have a mutable distro and just try to follow the best practices without being forced to?

Install flatpaks, use Distrobox when something is only available as a standard package, but doesn’t actually depend on non-isolated system interaction, etc.

This way, nothing breaks the way it does with immutable distros, but you still have a reasonable level of confidence in your system.

Wait until you hear about mortgage in Russia

26% APR. On a mortgage. No, seriously.

Those are older/richer people that saved enough money to buy new.

Absolutely!

Essentially yes.

Normally, the amount of neutrons generated in a fusion reactor is an issue. Here it is an asset.

Good, I also think the “some money” part in the end can be removed. It’s obvious and at the same time makes it sound a bit more rough than it needs to be.

…or you do neither of those?
