It’s 35m deep - for comparison recreational scuba divers go up to 30m deep and professional scuba divers up to 60m deep.
It will have to be well engineered and difficult to repair compared to a land facility, but nothing compared to like the space station.
Very cool idea, after 25 years there should be significant cost savings overall.
Damn you my go-to password in the 2010’s was “P4nc4kes!”.
Since you’re either unable or unwilling to engage in any further, I’ll tell you what it looks like right now:
Any rational well-adjusted person will be pro-trans rights. Therefore it doesn’t make a good enough loyalty check for a rather high-key cultish group. The neo-pronouns are the loyalty check. Neo-pronouns have nothing to do with being trans, everything to do with checking to see if someone fits into the cult.
Hexbear weaponizes accusations of transphobia the exact way Israel weaponizes accusations of antisemitism. It’s nothing to do with trans people or Jewish people, and everything to do with the cult. You are either with the cult, or you’re against it.
At the end of the day, Israel is bad for Jews, and will happily sacrifice the rights of Jewish people around the world, I think Hexbear is bad for trans rights, and will happily sacrifice the rights and safety of trans people anywhere in the world to achieve its own political goals. For example, Dems in the US might be trash, but they are also the only change trans people have right now. I think Hexbear would throw trans people in the US in front of a train if it meant a geopolitical win for them.
So call me whatever you want; when it comes to afab and amab people who want to be identified as a brother, a sister, or a sibling, they have always had my unwavering support. When it comes to Hexbear and the neo-pronouns, that is demonstrably the real transphobia, and trans exploitation. And I am still waiting to hear otherwise.
Also gonna bug you again because I am so thirsty for conversation around this.
I am not trans, but from what I’ve seen and experienced from people close to me, especially in the midwest, living as a trans person is difficult and dangerous. There’s so much work to put in to be perceived a certain way, which bathroom is it safe to use, getting medical care, getting hormones and transitioning, who is it safe to come out to.
But then you can have over here a super privileged white man, who decides he now goes by neo-pronouns, puts no work or risk in and retains every privilege in society of being a white man.
This looks to me in absolutely no way comparable to what it’s like to be trans.
I would say something like, I feel like neo-pronoun people have culturally appropriated the struggle of trans people. You can pick up some neo-pronouns and get all the leftist points, without actually putting yourself on the line the way trans people put themselves on the line.
I’ll take the L again and say the above is coming from a place of personal ignorance. I am an ignorant asshole. I’m very interesting in learning different and even better perspectives.
So maybe you can help me out with this bit:
Where I’m at right now, I feel like trans inclusivity means, that regardless of being born afab or amab, if you want to be perceived and treated by he/him pronouns, she/her pronouns, or they/them pronouns, you deserve that recognition and treatment.
That is currently where I am at for trans inclusivity.
I support that, in my workplace and in my community.
Am I falling short here? Am I not reaching far enough to be trans inclusive?
Edit: SA was a different thread, it’s somewhere way back there in my history.
Yeah I was a complete asshole. Not an excuse, but this was after about 2-dozen people sexually harassed me, so I was not at my best. And I will apologize any time for anyone who is hurt or offended.
That said, I was also speaking to people who started out as rape apologists in the context of Russian soldiers and Ukrainians families. If you’re pretty cool with kids getting raped by soldiers, but you’re offended that someone didn’t memorize 4 different neo-pronouns, that is 100% a place of privilege. Am I wrong on that?
Edit: also, as you are a trans person, recognizing that you are in a world where your safety is often a razor-thin line, anything I said that you felt unsafe around, I do deeply apologize.
Hexbear also weaponizes accusations of transphobia the same way Israel weaponizes accusations of anti-semitism.
Now Hexbear hasn’t done any genocide yet, but it does loove to talk about executing people, many and frequently.
just a heads up that they cant see your comment because according to the hexbear modlog you were banned from hexbear 3 months ago for transphobia and mocking non binary hexbear users for using alternative pronouns
Ahh, what actually happened is I said they behave like alt-right, and their neo-pronouns look more like a mockery of trans people than being genuinely trans-inclusive in ways that matter in real life.
Which, I’m still open to an explanation of how they are advancing trans right irl, and taking the L and admitting I was wrong. Their response was to sexually harass me instead. I’m not mad, but if I accuse you of behaving like alt-right and you dig your heels in deeper to behave like alt-right, that’s on you man.
Thank you for the heads up though.
** Edit: as a sidenote, for all the lip-service Hexbear gives trans people, they still cannot tell the difference between men and people with penises.
What’s your opinion on killing civilians attending a festival?
I’m been slowly migrating all my computers over to immutable distros, either silverblue or universal blue.
Once you get used to the container paradigm, you can do all your customization and easily copy it over to other machines without fear of breaking anything.
Plus, having automatic updates and knowing that you’ll always boot into a reliable machine, it’s the best.
Once you have distrobox set up with an arch container, you have access to the aur no matter what distro ypu’re running.
Edge does nearly all those things now too. Edge and Vivaldi are both closed source and yet another Chromium under the hood.
I’ll pass ty.
This is suuuper cool, but looks like having linux+amdgpu limits me to the cloud option.
I supposed this is bc we don’t have a DirectML equivalent yet.

Most significant difference is that Nobara updates muuch faster, so you’ll have a much more recent kernel and the freshest mesa graphics stack.
Upside is that more recent and/or AAA games will run better, downside is that you might to need to do some debugging if something breaks.
It’s just not a Democracy, unfortunately.
Bad faith actors weaponizes this against the concept of Democracy itself.
Pre-internet fog of war was on a whole different level; it’s not like Anne Frank was positing tiktoks from inside Germany explaining what was happening.
Modern day corporations have no such excuse.
You think the 3.2% is on the order of single digits of machines? You think 3.2% market share is 8 people?
Obviously you don’t. It’s 10s of thousands of machines and you exaggerated the actual situation so far it no longer made any sense.
