So... is this that "non-human biologics" people are talking about?

Jokes aside, clearing alot of hard work went into this and I do hope this works out in the long run

With respect, no speech should be illegal, regardless of how absurd, abhorrent, or inaccurate the speech is to anyone. Free speech is fundamental to a truly free society, full stop.

>If I have a "no black people" rule or a "no men" rule, some people are permanently excluded and some people are permanently included.

The problem is bigotry is usually based on an immutable feature. While gender is becoming changeable to certain degrees, age and race are not, one can't de-age a person or change their race on a whim. Additionally, claiming that because someone's older disqualifies them from having a full vote in society opens the floodgate every other manner of depersoning seen in human history over the last 200-500 years.

It's downvoted because it is obviously ageist... Depersoning people by age is no different than depersoning by race or gender.

With respect, I'm keenly aware that they think differently, and as for the disconnect, it's because they're an adolescent with a brain that is still figuring out their body. Unfortunately, Pavlovian reinforcement is sadly sometimes necessary to get a point across, especially when its a repetitive issue.

I've been my oldest child case with this very topic to the point they eye-roll me everytime I bring it up. To be clear, they often claim they've lost a shoe or toy just after literally walking past it or accidentally knocking it under a table or chair. I guess its also a prevalent issue for young adults as well as children now? (Table 2-1, specifically)

I beg to differ, on a technical level electromagnetic radiation can be perceived as a physical force, similar to the sensations felt by an MRI machine. Your counter point appears to be around the emotions blue, or other colours, convey which is actually easier to explain than what a colour actually physically is. We use words to convey emotions all the time and to describe blue, adjectives like calm, cool, cold, sad, open, broad, easy, etc. etc. can be attributed to the colour blue.

Challenge acccepted:

Blue light is defined as roughly 380nm-460nm range of wavelengths in electromagnetic radiation, however the human eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450nm-495nm. Objects coloured blue typically reflect or diffuse this range of wavelengths more efficiently than others wavelengths, rendering these objects the appearance of the color blue.

I disagree with this on a few points aside from the hyperbole:

>Apple's implementation will always be ahead, better, less bugs...

No, it's not and really hasn't ever been. Every platform has a shortcoming and claiming it's ahead of the game is a biased stance. The M1 specs may be impressive now, but the same can be said of every "new" SoC chip.

>... linux port will always be a shitty experience...

People who really love Linux and FOSS actually prefer to tune their environment to their expectations. The weeks of tinkering is part of the hacker mindset that is slowly eroding, and I'll take the weeks long config experience over a locked environment.

To sum it all, Linux and consumer open systems have a different target audience from Apple. Apple users are like car lessees, they just want to hop in and drive their car until the lease is up. Linux users are like the mechanic working out of their garage who drives a hodgepodge vehicle they pieced together. To say that the Apple experience is better is just hype, and calling the personalization/optimization process "shitty" is closed-source/closed-minded view.

Strangely enough, many years ago I read the following webcomic about something similar:

The story was about a racoon farmer trying to leech bauxite from the soil and created a plant to do it.

>The nightmare that is the desktop PC application ecosystem

As a former owner of multiple Maemo devices, avid GNU/Linux and FOSS advocate, and user of F-Droid applications when possible, this "nightmare" is a level of control that I dream about having on my phone...
