@meso@evan I'm referencing the common canard that lesbian transwomen have IQs one standard deviation above the average, hence people like Nick Land declaring us to be the Jews of gender
@mint@meso Yes, they're containment instances. The average person there doesn't even know what federation is and just thinks Mastodon is one big monolithic platform like Twitter, so my point still stands.
@ryo@xianc78 I can at least attest to it not being hype for embedded processors, my dads workplace was backordered for like a year with them starting 2020 and there were real difficulties with sourcing even though pretty much all of the chips in question had no possible relevance to cryptocurrency or NFTs or anything around that. Consumer tho, yeah, crypto boom is probably the largest part responsible, especially around GPUs.
@mint@voltrina Yeah p much. At least all the leaks *I've* disseminated in the past are for historical interest only so glowies well and truly don't give a shit about them (closest I ever ran to any response was IBM DMCAing one of my archive.org accounts and that was it really)
@amerika@IceCubeSoup Honestly my gripe with veganism is that most of the "veganism as ideology/lifestyle" people seem to *actively* fetishize making bad food and trying to sell others on it as a virtue signal at the expense of actually making good food and winning converts that way.
@PhenomX6@MischievousTomato@mikuphile@GayHateAlliance Genuinely crossovers scare me because I never know what's going on with them, with regular cars, I can at least get a sense of things because it's low enough to the ground to actually give useful feedback. Also every accident I've ever been in involved a crossover.
@MischievousTomato@mikuphile@GayHateAlliance The appeal of them is entirely astroturfed by big automakers preying on American safety fears in order to skirt crash safety and emissions regulations.
@MischievousTomato@mikuphile@GayHateAlliance The current status quo punishes auto enthusiasts too, you know. About the only people it actually materially benefits are government and industry planners who want an interchangeable mass of disposable lemmings who take hour long commutes to and from work in their "SUVs" and "light trucks" while spending their precious time on earth away from the workplace being totally invested in $CURRENT_THING and failing to hold down marriages and families so that they have an excuse to import third world labor for pennies on the dollar in order to keep their ponzi scheme from completely collapsing in on itself.
