Last comment stated international women's cricket should be renamed international cis women's cricket 🤔 because women who experienced testosterone puberty are excluded

Whereas a group of TW playing football can 100% use "Women's football league" Even if the league is 100 trans women and cis women are excluded

That's all I'm saying, how's that not taking a title? Not saying this with any malice, hope that's clear I've no dog in this race other than supporting everyone but that's weird to me

I agree with much of what you said but have to nit-pick a part that I found confusing.

trans women are women

And cis women are cis women?

Comes off as if an afab person, who has always referred to herself as simply "woman" now has to refer to herself as "cis woman" to be exact, whereas trans women have now adopted "woman"

I'm a guy, and I'd be pretty irritated if people suddenly started insisting that I not refer to myself as "guy" anymore, because trans guys are now "guys" so they get my old title but now I have to specifically state that I'm a "cis guy" everywhere..

Like why would I have to give up my title? It's one thing for them to adopt it as well, not like I mind, more the merrier! But why am I having to change my title when I've been the same all along?

It's like if people began changing cats into dogs, and claiming the name "cat" for the former dogs. Cool, do what you will, but then they tell me that my "cats" aren't "cats" anymore, they're cis-cats and I must refer to them as such. Why? They've always been cats to everyone? How you gonna tell me that you get the name "cats" but my lifelong "cats" are now something else?

I tried to do that, somewhere between installing python, fit, bash, chocolatey, stable diffusion itself, the model, etc.

On the very last step, where I was waiting for it to say "running in 127.003" or w/e I got an error message that it somehow couldn't access my GPU (maybe because it's internal?). It gave me a command argument to place, --skip- cuda-test or something like that but I have no idea where to put it.

It definitely can be installed and used on the PC but isn't as simple as just installing from an .exe, there are a lot of moving parts

Exactly. Not sure why cars are the exception other than profit

Though in retrospect I do retract, or admit maybe my view on only allowing cars that go to 70 mph is flawed, can't hate on people that want fast cars, it's up to them if they want to upgrade and have something nice, I do too, but it is definitely excessive

Nice post idea this is great

Exactly! It's ridiculous. My father is disabled and on a fixed income. He has insurance but his treatment still costs him thousands a year, even though he only receives a few thousand to live on.

Exactly, and tbh if we stopped making vehicles today people would still be driving many years from now, feel like we should really.. stop mining the earth for resources to then use making things people don't even need so we can be richer.. just make vehicles repairable again and focus on that.

Maybe, instead of everyone buying brand new cars we can just upgrade our old ones, like a PC.

So you want the latest Dodge body to look cool? Okay, we'll just pop that onto you're already existing frame, no need in buying a new engine/chassis etc if you're only seeking an aesthetic change anyway

Speaking of that.. all this $ people pay for faster cars when they'll only really drive them between 30-70mph is ridiculous. Why even make commercial cars faster than the speed limit? Just so dummies can drive drunk at 120mph and hit a family head on? Until we get an Autobahn there's just no need for it.

No need for 16 year olds, anyone really to have a V8 with 900 horsepower just give them something that will go the speed limit and save the fucking resources

When I buy a vehicle, I touch it, if it's solid metal hey awesome, if it's plastic or fiber whatever I just nope out because I've seen what happens when they're in the smallest of accident.

I can pull a ding out of metal, or even just stop by pull apart and pop a replacement door or whatever off something similar. Can't do that when half the frame shatters in impact, might as well buy another car which is exactly what they want us to do

I feel like it would make a huge difference. They're planning obsolescence for vehicles and equipment now too. I have a tractor from the 70's that's still running fine, why? Because they used to make them with the idea that the consumer can and should be able to perform their own maintenance and repair, for a farmer back then a tractor was a huge purchase and was expected to last many years. I

Meanwhile, the new ones require being brought to the shop for all kinds of things, many can only be fixed with software that most people don't have, if available at all.

Instead of repairing what they have, companies want people to just buy new stuff every couple of years if not sooner.

It's just sad when stuff from 50 years ago will still last longer than something you purchase today.

Regarding automotives and equipment, old machinery could last forever really, with the right replacement parts, but those are getting extremely hard to find as well with everyone just buying new instead of repairing what they have. It's something else..

Maybe not with smart devices, but the automotive industry is headed the same way. I can repair a truck from the 70's and keep it running forever with the right parts, and even with some not-so right ones.

Nowadays for example, a tractor or truck from 2020 can't be repaired like that, they're installing systems that we-the user and even our mechanics can't access so you absolutely HAVE to take it back to them for repair. That's just wrong, these trucks have absolutely no need for software like this, it's only purpose is to prevent people from repairing things they've already paid for.

I like how it just looks like regular hitler

What do you mean by running them locally?
