    If there’s a port you want accessible from the host/other containers but not beyond the host, consider using the expose directive instead of ports. As an added bonus, you don’t need to come up with arbitrary ports to assign on the host for every container with a shared port.

    IMO it’s more intuitive to connect to a service via container_name:443 instead of localhost:8443

    It’s perfectly appropriate to use thorn for all th sounds, eth existed in Old English and modern Icelandic but it wasn’t a thing in Middle or Early Modern English, unlike thorn. Old English is basically unrecognizable as English though, so this dialogue is faux Early Modern English. Most people who use thorn in English nowadays are drawing from the Early Modern usage.

    My understanding is that not federating downvotes means that for blahaj communities, the canonical vote count has no downvotes, and instances can downvote if they like but their downvotes don’t get federated.

    So if someone makes a post on this community and 20 people upvote it, then 10 Lemmy worlders downvote it, Lemmy.world would see a score of 10 but sopuli.xyz would see a score of 20 still.

    You’re not on blahaj, so you’d be able to downvote anyway. But I did notice when I used Boost that it doesn’t disable the downvote UI, so you can basically pretend to downvotd even though it doesn’t work.

    You’re right. Incidentally, I searched lemmy for “transpeople” and found quite a few hits, some of whom were trans themselves. Not just allies can do it, I suppose. Maybe I’ve just not noticed it before.

    I’ve never noticed “transpeople” before, but I’ve heard a lot of trans folk use “transgirl”, “transwoman”, “transman”, etc, including myself once upon a time. I think it’s an easy mistake to make if you don’t think about it that hard.

    Linguistically they’re prefixes I mean. You’re right, when used on its own it is an abbreviation but within transgender or cisgender they’re prefixes. It’s a relatively new thing to use “trans” or “cis” as an abbreviation instead of a prefix, so it feels natural to turn it back into a prefix by attaching it to the next word, and “transwoman” and “ciswoman” still kind of work as long as you do both because cis- and trans- are modifying the womanness. I agree that even that is uncomfortable and othering though, it’s definitely better to use trans as an adjective on its own and not divide women/men into separate subcategories based on transness. I just am more understanding of that particular faux pas because I get how people come by it.

    “Transpeople” on the other hand doesn’t work the same unless you’re referring to those who are trans-person and don’t identify as people, which I imagine is not who these people are referring to on purpose and rather they are dehumanizing us as a whole. Both are bad, but I don’t think they’re equivalent.

    Trans- and cis- are prefixes, so I can understand how it feels intuitive to people to say “transman” as one word, but it’s only appropriate if one also says “cisman”, and for some reason combining cis with the respective words is less frequent. Transphobia, I’d imagine.

    I feel like I’ve never seen someone write “transpeople” who isn’t actively being hateful. That one seems like there’s less of an excuse for it. But then, maybe that reflects more on the communities I move in than anything.

    I only really have a problem with it when it’s in a post like this where there’s no reference in text, so filters/blocks can’t pick it up. 196 seems to have this issue most frequently due to the way people write titles here.



  • To be fair, phone OSes go out of their way to obscure where files go for some reason. Android’s filesystem is somewhat arcane even when it’s completely transparent, and it’s mostly hidden behind apps that just say “Saved” or “Downloaded” and I’m left asking “okay but where!?”

    EDIT: I suppose it’s not necessarily the OS’s fault but more of the app culture

    I like Cyberpunk 2077 but I honestly somewhat agree. It’s fundamentally the same game it was at launch, and the same people who were hating on it for not living up to their expectations turned around and started glazing it after CDPR fixed a few bugs and adjusted the balance.

    There’s definitely a bit more polish than there was before, but I have no idea how all these people claim to have hated it on launch but like it now. I liked it on day one, and I like it today, but it’s really kind of a mid game. It feels like there’s potential for it to build up to something incredible in a second or third game, but as it is it could stand to be a lot better and I get a lot of your criticism and why you still dislike it.
