I was being cheeky, lol. Thanks for the update. Was not intending to come off as trying to start a serious conversation about gender identity. I debated throwing a /s but figured the rule 37 reference was enough.

You mean to tell me https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/unixsocks aren't women? Fooled by Rule 37 again.

UHC is top insurance company per the stock market.

UHC denies the most claims costing people their lives who can't afford medical care out of pocket.

Shooter is praised for pulling an uno reverse card on the UHC CEO by denying them medical care through taking their life.

You really want Thread over Matter

Do you mean over WiFi? Matter and Thread don't have overlapping functionality. In the OSI model, Matter is like layers 6-7, Thread covers 3-5, and 802.15.4 is 1-2 (MACPHY).

Matter also works over Ethernet and WiFi.

ZigBee is like 3-7 also using 802.15.4.

Z-Wave is also like 3-7 with some sub-GHz MACPHY.

For Matter, low power devices and sleepy devices should use Thread to optimally conserve battery.

Ethernet > WiFi unless wireless is needed for other use cases like cameras, media boxes, dedicated power, etc.

Bluetooth (low energy) last I checked is only supported for commissioning a device. It does use the Matter protocol, and I've blinked some lights on test hardware over BLE, but it wasn't officially supported.

Its great for proof reading, tone, etc. Not perfect though. For important work I usually run my writing through a few tools (and humans).

This shit pisses me off. Fix our damn healthcare system for fuck sakes.

We don't fund the mental health services needed.

We fuck over chronic pain patients treating them like addicts.

Many are disabled on both sides. We expect them to fill out paper work with every "I" dotted and "T" crossed. You screw up once? Now you start over. Many places that could offer real help just won't take state aide because they take forever to pay.

If you do have a job, even below the poverty line but just enough to have insurance, welcome to ridiculous copays and deductibles.

It pains me when I've seen someone making progress with mental or physical therapy as a path to coping but fall due to one paperwork or appointment mistake withdrawing those services without a safety net.

They won't treat the root cause for many by just going single payer and de-privatizing health care. Need something to campaign on to funnel more cash to our military complex.

What is the point of being dismissive of parent's concerns and straight up misrepresenting what they said in the last "quote"?

I'm in favor of making the law gender neutral, and quickly without having answers to all these questions.

Doesn't mean there won't be unintended consequences that aren't worth discussing to get ahead of them.

My gut reaction is if its legal in public does that make it legal in the media? Will publishers and advertisers use this to further objectify women? Even though I'm asking these questions, I'm 100% in favor of gender neutral laws for media and advertisements.

My off the cuff and likely unrealistic solution that has nothing to do with gender is to just ban most forms of advertising out right. This includes never requiring users to make the "choice" to agree to any ads in the terms of services in order to access goods and services (e.g., gas pumps, accessing a bank account, etc.).

Wording confused me at first glance also. Pretty much flexing he is not as smart as 91.9% of the population.

Correction, cost of goods is what I meant. I'm not going to Walmart just for the WiFi.

My comment was also meant to be sarcastic. Free WiFi while I spend my earnings, which I'd expect prices to reflect the cost of this service, in a giant metal box seems fair to me. Trading privacy as an extra cost I'm not okay with, so I won't use it.

Also, you pay for your cellphone service, right? Are you paying for the wifi in the store? Nooooooo.

Yes? Indirectly its baked into the cost of service.
