I’m not saying it’s perfect, but it’s definitely not as “backhanded” as the other one. In fact, that “compliment”, especially in the context of the meme, implies they didn’t realize the person is transgender until it was somehow pointed out explicitly, because of the whole “wow, you’re trans?” part.

I kinda see your point, but I think context is important here. For many trans people, part of transitioning includes working toward presenting as their identified gender, and that process can take time and effort. So when someone says “you look good for a trans man/woman”, in a clumsy way, it might be meant as recognition of that effort, like saying, “you look exactly how you hoped to". Which is completely different from automatically assuming that all women are stupid for being women.
Isn’t this about “you look good for a trans man/woman”?
“You’re smart for a woman” is just straight up sexist and demeaning, while the former “compliment”, maybe not as flattering to some as the giver intends, does not imply any prejudice.
Due to some ancient meme I can only see this gif with MGS alert music in my head.

What’s the origin of that background? I’ve seen it on a couple of posts lately.

Being wasteful with your battery like that goes against the spirit of Fairphone, IMO.

And the article even seems to imply that faster charging does impact battery life, it’s just that manufacturers consider 100w a sweet-spot between charging speed and battery degradation.

Personally, I disable all fast-charging features and charge my phone overnight.
P.S. Sorry for calling you Shirley.

Most laptops don’t even support 100w.
It’s a running joke in the cartoon that people/animals keep calling Pumba a pig, he gets mad and insists he’s “Mr. Pig”.
Did you just call their mom a pig? It’s Mr. Pig!

But the point is, they, as any other company, were doing it to pretend that they are cool and progressive. As the result they got mostly negative reactions. So why bother with the effort if you’re only gonna reduce your already dwindling player base. IIRC, they were very small symbolic events anyway.

I remember boycotts and stuff.
I’m not saying Jagex isn’t bad, but this time it’s on players.

Ok, thanks! Good to know there’s a backup plan. For now Arc still works fine, just no updates anymore.
Sorry that I neglected your comment, but my response to the neighboring comment applies here as well.
