Hello. I’ve been silenced, removed and blocked enough on lemmy dot ml for being a filthy leftist but not a falling in line defending totalitarian states full blown authoritarian communist. Sooo I’m blocking everything from lemmy dot ml so I don’t have to be bothered with any more of that nonsense. If you are on lemmy dot ml and commenting on me I will not see it. Ta ta.

  • In Swedish too, but curiously we use them chaotically, somewhat based in traditional gendered jobs but not always. A lot of jobs exist in both feminine and masculine forms but are mostly used in one or another unless making a point. Others exist in only one masculine sounding form but they are really used as neutrum.

    For example: Skådespelare/skådespelerska (actor/actress) are used as expected. Konstnär/konstnärinna (male/female artist) is very rarely used in feminine regardless of gender of the artist. Läkare (doctor) exists only in one form so if you want to say “female doctor” you have to say “kvinnlig läkare”. Meanwhile skötare/sköterska (male/female nurse) is more complicated because all nurses in hospitals are i feminin form, but in mental health they are in masculine form, and elsewhere I don’t even know.








  • Yeah, me too. It’s annoying how Qobuz encourage user feedback with a special app and then just go stone wall about it. There are several threads about common problems in their services and they don’t give any response at all. I hope it gives some pressure anyway with the updoots for common annoyances that can no longer be ignored.

    AI is overkill. All that is needed is matching acts and albums to one of the free or proprietary datasets online. Some API integration and maybe licensing and it’s done. It’s just a decision that somebody up the organisation needs to make that they don’t for whatever reason.








  • Back in ancient times when I was a system administrator we got a heads up that there be a new breed of Outlook worm coming soon to our timezone.

    So we mailed the entire office that if you get mail that looks like this or that, do not open it, do not interact but delete it on sight.

    Most of the office was all right, except pretty much entire sales and marketing departments including the bosses. Most of them had noOo idea what could have happened but one of them explained that they saw the warning but they were curious to see what the virus looks like.

    People. What a bunch of bastards.
