There are a million and one ways to phrase everything in the English language, it’s flexibility is one of its most notable features. There is literally no instruction or label that requires non gender neutral language to be in it unless you’re talking explicitly about gender.

Go ahead and name a label or instruction that you think requires you to use the word he and doesn’t have a gender neutral equivalent.

Didn’t they fly off the handle on someone for politely pointing out that the text shouldn’t use the word “he” and assume that every user is male?

That’s not political, thats flat out unprofessional. I would think it’s a pretty junior mistake if any of my colleagues filed a non-gender neutral PR in the first place, and would flat out fire them if they ever reacted to a review that unprofessionally.

It’s not that great an analogy because the autobahn isn’t still maintained by Nazis.

For software to run on a computer, it needs to tell the computer what to do, “display this picture of a flower”, “move my character to the left”, “save this poem to a file”.

And for a bunch of different software to all run on the same machine, they all need to use the same basic set of instructions, this is called the machine’s Instruction Set.

Because the instruction set has to work for any software, these instructions don’t look that readable to us, instead of “show this flower” they might be “move this bit of memory into the processor”, but software builds up millions of those instructions to eventually display a flower.

Intel processors used a set of instructions that were called x86, and then when AMD made a rival processor, they made theirs use the same instruction set so that their processors would be compatible with all the software written for Intel processors (and when they needed to move from 32bit instructions to 64bit instructions, they made a new set called x64).

Meanwhile Apple computers for a long time used processors built by IBM that used IBMs PowerPC instruction set.

Now many companies are using the ARM instruction set, but ARM is still a private company you have to pay licensing fees to, so RISC-V is rising as a new, truly open source and free to use instruction set.

No, I honestly just started here, and started playing around with the example, and then started turning that into what I wanted and googling when I needed to: https://ochafik.com/openscad2/

For 3D Modelling / Printing, if you have even a little bit of programming / scripting ability, OpenSCAD is amazing.

It’s basically just a small scripting language for generating 3D objects and performing 3D modelling operations and its so handy to be able to store important info as precise variables, and create new objects and cuts and stuff just with for loops and if statements.

I use the web version a lot of the time, and while it could use a little work, it’s pretty amazing.

Lol some of us grew up in socialist households and still recognize the dangers and failures of communism every time it’s been tried.

I’m not as hardcore as most, I run windows as my main OS, but I do love my LG Gram 17" laptop from ~3-4 years ago.

It’s powerful enough for general use, webdev, and very light 3D modelling, and it is insanely light and portable. I have a 14" MacBook at work and the gram is lighter than it, thinner, not that much bigger, and far more durable.

Great keyboard and trackpad, giant screen (I wish it was brighter but this is the version from 3-4 years ago), and surprisingly solid Bluetooth, microphone, thunderbolt etc.

Given that the whole context of this thread is why theists are scared of dying, you kind of did insinuate that with your story.

Be scared of dying. The whole context of this thread is someone asking why theists are scared of dying, when the answer is the same reason that atheists are, dying can suck, no one is 100% certain about anything except for zealots, and fear of death fundamentally does not come from the logical part of our brain.

So why cant theists?

Congratulations, now apply the same logic to theists.

It is not zero or null, those are both conditions you perceive, it is the complete lack of perception and being. You cannot have lost anything if you no longer exist to perceive any loss.

That’s a matter of opinion.

No, it’s a pretty objective description of the absence of being.

The fact you cease to exist may very well be considered scary, even by atheists.

Yes, because fear of death does not come from the logical part of your brain, not because they have anything logical to fear.

It’s not relatively worse, it’s just objectively neutral. It cannot be relatively worse because it is not perceived or felt to be compared. It is just objectively neutral.

There is no loss to you if you don’t experience it.

It is the same because a blank nothingness isn’t bad so atheists have no reason to fear death.

This is like saying that Atheists shouldn’t fear death because they know it will just be blank nothingness that they won’t perceive.

Fear of death doesn’t come from the logical part of our brains.

How did you take that from what I wrote? I said that white people were dumb and naiive in trusting the evidence from an overtly racist, corrupt, and incompetent lapd.
