I honestly still don’t get what is meant by downvotes in this thread. To me this comes off as any opposition/critique is transphobic by default; not a viable perspective in my humble opinion.

Apologist of what? Transphobia? You are not justified in making such a statement.

By the same logic, would I be justified in labelling you an orientalist; a bearer of the “white [person’s] burden” (in the metaphorical sense)?

This is not a matter of justification or sympathy of transphobia. You can’t condemn hundreds of millions of people (billions?) as evil just because they don’t 100% align with your worldview. Especially if you know nothing about various countries’ LGBT communities and their views and priorities.

How do you know your maximalist approach is shared by the global trans community? How many languages do you speak? Have you ever been part (IRL, not online) of another country’s trans community? Living there and interacting with other people (trans and not trans).

Why are you saying that I believe that “[trans people] should [not] force their identities and pronouns onto other people?” Why are you putting words in my mouth? Is this because I provided a critique of your approach and offered a perspective from a non-english speaking country? I brought up the natal women’s spaces example because it’s a real world example that shows the limits of your approach. You don’t know whether trans folk in non-english speaking countries are in 100% alignment with you on this issue.

I will admit I don’t either. But unlike you I do have some exposure to our local LGBT community and to me this comes off as almost orientalist. You definitely have a lack of appreciation that people in other countries (trans or otherwise) may view things through a different lens and have their own strategies and priorities.

What do you mean by “the downvotes on this thread … [is a] … very good way to identify transphobic people”?

Which specific post is transphobic? Considering that you are asking for a major instance-wide ban campaign, you should expect people to question the criteria for the application of such bans.

You didn’t even provide a basic definition of your understanding what needs to be banned or what qualifies as “just asking questions”. Do you not see how this is completely unworkable?

I don’t support transphobia, but this sounds extremely aggressive and almost unworkable. Who gets to decide what qualifies as “thinly veiled transphobia”? or “transphobic dogwhistles” and what approach is used to disperse bans?

For example, in many countries some people who might be generally supportive of trans people (in the sense that they would want you to be the best version of yourself) might oppose inclusion of transwomen in natal-women’s spaces. Does this qualify for an automatic ban?

Some might claim this is transphobic, but my answer to that would be: How do you know? Do you speak the local language? Have you lived there? Do you have any knowledge about the region’s history? Do you know what the attitude of the local LGBT community is to the above-mentioned example?

We shouldn’t limit ourselves by the assumptions (and polemics) of a given region even if English is the lingua franca of the internet. A lot of people in the world speak English as second language.

Hopefully more people from lemmy.blahaj.zone can go through the general communities on lemmy.world and the like and report as many of those users as possible so they can be banned from their instance.

I would definitely oppose this without addressing specifically what qualifies as “transphobia” and what the specific policies are with regards to moderator actions. Otherwise this is just some rampage witchhunt against perceived enemies.

Cheers.

Yeah, I am aware they launched.

I am sticking to the my !hardware@lemmy.world instance, sub and engagement growth is decent and it’s a topic of interest for me. :)

Most mainstream tech journalism tends to have a PR-friendly vibe.

Not every article should critical and skeptical, but there should be at least a semblance of balance.

This is the part I don’t understand, if we are not defining (measuring) 1s and 0s, then what is going on?

How do you represent data, execute commands on data if there are no 1s and 0s.

Thanks for writing that out.

This does make sense and it’s roughly what I’ve read previously.

What I don’t understand is why is there even something called a qubit that stops working if you observe it. This does not make sense to me.

I also don’t really get the model of how qubits are programmed and quantum commands (???) are executed.

Cheers, will check it out.

It can also double as a weapon/shield combo if needed. Not the best option, but better than nothing.

I guess that would depend on your interpretation of Moore’s law.

Improvement in semiconductor performance is clearly not dead.

But “[relatively] easy automatic wins” from moving to a new node are starting to become less common. Prices for new nodes are not getting cheaper (even on a standardized basis), performance/efficiency/size gains are becoming more modest and ramp-up/deployment times are becoming longer and longer.

I get the joke, but honestly I still don’t fully understand how quantum computing works and I’ve read multiple primers on the topic.

“Classic” computing may be complicated, but the base principle are actually somewhat straightforward.

I don’t believe SMIC has commercially viable 5 nm.

Arguably Moore’s law is indeed dead. But that doesn’t mean we can’t get improvements from other areas like advanced packaging, chip power supply and so on…

I have yet to try a foldable (currently too expensive for my budget), so this just based on what I’ve read.

To my my understanding, the crease is always visible in any current products, but it has become less annoying in the latest iterations where people don’t notice them.

I am on a 3080 (with a 1440 monitor). I am considering a monitor upgrade (current one is 75 Hz max), but I have no interest in a new GPU or moving to 4K (for now).

I had a Xiaomi Mi A1, one of my favourite phones to this day.

I like Xiaomi hardware/prices, I can’t stand MIUI (I am assuming HyperOS is continuation of MIUI).

A solid option if your country doesn’t support 6 GHz and you live in an apartment.

Tim Apple:

“Fucktard, do you not see the Apple logo on the device? You’ll buy it, pay the astronomical price and recommend it to your friends as the next thing in computing! And if you don’t, I will call my buddy Xi and we will send you to the Apple labour camp in Xinjiang! Get ready to be castrated so you can focus on our iPhone 16 rampup!”

Are you being sarcastic? :)
