Sorry that I neglected your comment, but my response to the neighboring comment applies here as well.

I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it’s definitely not as “backhanded” as the other one. In fact, that “compliment”, especially in the context of the meme, implies they didn’t realize the person is transgender until it was somehow pointed out explicitly, because of the whole “wow, you’re trans?” part.

I kinda see your point, but I think context is important here. For many trans people, part of transitioning includes working toward presenting as their identified gender, and that process can take time and effort. So when someone says “you look good for a trans man/woman”, in a clumsy way, it might be meant as recognition of that effort, like saying, “you look exactly how you hoped to". Which is completely different from automatically assuming that all women are stupid for being women.

Isn’t this about “you look good for a trans man/woman”?

“You’re smart for a woman” is just straight up sexist and demeaning, while the former “compliment”, maybe not as flattering to some as the giver intends, does not imply any prejudice.

Now that’s husband-attracting outfit!

He will also never attract a husband.

I know that avatar cause that user works on Analogue Pocket FPGA cores.

Electromagnets engage when you release the mouse.

Could any duck/goose experts please clarify whether that’s a goose or not?

It’s just a joke about how there’s so little video posting on Lemmy and that some clients don’t support it.

I gather you like to move it move it?

What do you think you’re doing?! Videos on Lemmy are illegal!

There’s a wooden one what? Hello?

Guess I’ll eventually learn Swedish. I already know “a version of hello” and “blue shark”. Basically halfway there.

You’re not wrong, as it’s your personal subjective experience, which can’t be wrong.
But the fact that it pisses you off implies that you don’t understand the reason behind it.
We used to have information-dense UIs before because:

• devices used to have only large screens with lower resolution.
• devices were used primarily be specialists for productivity.

Which means programs had to fit a lot of stuff in very few pixels. Nowadays, vast majority of users are casual, the people of the land, fatfingering their tiny displays. They don’t need a ton of buttons and sliders. In fact, a common user would get overwhelmed by all that, even on the desktop. And while a small amount of people would benefit from a denser UI for the same casual apps, it’s usually not with the effort designing and implementing them.

Btw, that Nathan Fillion gif is from Castle and not Firefly.

Is it short for Wartholomeow?

Oh right, didn’t pay enough attention. But it was the first thing I saw in the morning.

Shouldn’t 7/10" actually be 7/20"?
