There doesn’t have to be some elaborate ongoing scheme for something to be gaslighting.

100% agree.

You are correct. The only truly incorrectly defined word in the list is the “pop psychology” form of “trauma”, which looks like it was just made up for the sake of the meme. “Gaslighting” is correct on both sides, but the two in the middle are actually being paired with different forms of the same word, so the definition is inherently different. Also, the definitions on the left are coming from a learner’s dictionary so they come across as stupid next to advanced definitions.

1. Take a learners dictionary and pair it with an advanced one.
2. Pic some controversial words.
3. Compare verbs against nouns, nouns against adjectives so the definitions aren’t actually the same but look like they should be.
4. Completely make up the last “simple” definition so it seems like you are making some profound point that’s actually just a dumb comment.
5. Call the side with the stupid comment you made up “pop psychology” so people can see in plain sight what gaslighting actually looks like.

A lot of people in this thread have a lot of really strong opinions without actually reading the article. The model was cool with it, but she herself also thinks it’s time to retire the photo from how it’s being used in image processing, where it likely isn’t even necessary in the first place. Respect her on that. I seriously doubt she cares if it remains accessible on the web for the pervs worrying about censorship. It’ll still be there if you desperately don’t want to lose your opportunity to take a gander.

The version of macOS that was released today, 11.0, also known as Big Sur…

Good thing we’re on top of things here on the fediverse.

If premium features are free for educators, I need to look into how that system works.

I’m happy to keep my V2 license, but I guarantee V2 will be shorter lived than V1 was now that a company was acquired and costs need to be recuperated.

I don’t even know what to say about this whole acquisition other than I am deeply disappointed. I am a teacher, and I bought this suite to create handouts and activities for lessons every once in a while. I often share these activities and handouts with other teachers who need ideas. I don’t use the Affinity suite frequently or in a professional-enough manner to justify dedicating any more of my long-stagnant pay rate to it, so if prices go up, I will have to stop being a customer whether I like it or not.

…they just couldn’t figure out how to hamper the watch in just the right way to convince users that Android OS was the problem, so they gave up.

I would say the same for iPhone.

Imagine this extending to the Vision Pro and getting native access to the Steam VR library on that.

Would it be possible to VPN to an EU address and download?

If so, I’d imagine things are going to get hard for VPNs not too long after.

With the U.S. election cycle ramping up, it’s not just the kids doing it now.

Your boomer parents as well, most likely. It is getting back into election season again.

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

I’d really love to have one, but that $3500 is going to have a bigger impact on my life if it stays in my bank account. I might eventually get a quest 3 to live the fantasy a little, though, if they borrow some of Apple’s tricks in a future OS update.

It’s been a painful few decades for consumers having the teeth of unregulated tech titans sunk into them.

That’s a lot of new Linux computers.

Ah… IPAs. Good one. Missed the forest for the trees there.

I think this has less to do with people getting out of hand and more to do with the way Google is running YouTube.

I think there are far more people than we give credit for who would much rather go outside, hit the gym, ride a bike, etc., than confine themselves to a chair all day.
