Hey, I get it. It’s much harder to acknowledge the harmful biases you’re showing in this comment and be a force for positive change than it is to just reflexively lash out at the messenger.
Until that happens though, the problem will remain, and you’ll remain a part of it.
I mean, that’s actually what happens though. Two weeks ago my wife and I were setting up two friends of ours on a blind date, and literally her first question was “how tall is he?” She of course got pissy when I asked what I should tell him if he asked about her weight.
The manosphere is only able to capitalize on this rhetoric because it’s largely based in truth. Hashtag not all women, but enough of them for practically every guy under six feet to have a rejection story for being too short.
To act like stuff like this isn’t happening to guys daily is being willfully ignorant, and not working to change this culture is only going to drive more men to the horrible people who at least acknowledge that their problems are real.
Yay, more plastic landfill garbage!
A loanword (from the perspective of historical linguistics at least) is any word that has entered a linguistic system from another linguistic system, as opposed to a native word, which has been naturally passed down through the vertical transmission of that system to new acquirers as far back as we can trace. (Note that there are a lot of edge cases and nuances here, so let me know if you have any specific questions.)
This is a useful categorical distinction as well, since linguistic reconstruction only works on inherited words, and does not work with loanwords or words otherwise created (past the point in history that they entered the linguistic system in question, at least).
Ah yes, corollary to the waffle house theory, which is when you have your first All-Star Special at Waffle House and realize that it’s now all you want to eat for the rest of your life.
They definitely do similar things though. I was out at dinner with some of my Japanese coworkers and one of them was having steak (suteeki in Japanese). I asked him if it was suteki (“great, wonderful, attractive”) and they all groaned and said I was telling “oyaji gyagu” (old man/dad jokes).
It does too many things too well.
Now that I’ve gotten home and played with it a bit, unfortunately, remote/presentation mode isn’t what she’s looking for, because it doesn’t work with her iPad Notes app the way she needs it to. It shows the entire iPad screen no matter what, instead of the portion she’s using for drawing/notes.
It turns out that on the Mac and Windows versions of Zoom, there’s an option in Advanced Settings that is specifically connecting an iPad through AirPlay. Unfortunately, as I’ve found out, this is a proprietary setting only allowed on the Mac and Windows versions, and specifically excluded from the Linux version. There’s just a blank space where the option usually would be.
Luckily, the notes app function she needs does work when using UxPlay, so that’s what we ultimately decided to go with, even though it’s a bit clunkier and laggier than connecting directly through Zoom.
Thanks for the help!
The PC has multiple monitors, a full-sized keyboard, and support for many windows on the screen, which makes it much easier to get work done while on a call, while the iPad is very convenient for drawing diagrams, etc. when on a call, much more so than the built in whiteboard.
So, she hosts the call on her computer so that she can do all of the multitasking she needs to during the meeting, and she connects her iPad so that she can draw and comment on precise diagrams in a way that isn’t really possible without the iPad.
From another comment it seems like she might just be missing the feature that’s usually there, but I wanted to be prepared with alternatives when I got home this evening just in case so that she’d be ready for work tomorrow no matter what.
Edit: See the OP - this is not the case. This is a proprietary function that is only available in the Mac and Windows version of Zoom, so it’s not present in the Linux version at all.
That looks like it should work. I can hopefully just mirror the iPad screen on UxPlay and then just capture that window in Zoom. Will try this evening and report back. Thanks!
Edit: This ended up being what we went with! Thanks again for the help! This community never ceases to amaze me with their willingness to help people get better with Linux! ^_^

Yes, I absolutely did miss that part somehow. I still think you’re being too hard on the guy, but the tone of my comment was out of line given that context. I apologize.
That’s just like Lemmy, ignoring years of hard work in pursuit of positive change because someone doesn’t pass the right ideological purity test.
How many millions of people have you reached about the importance of consumer rights?
I also thought Louis’s choice of Clippy was a bit odd, but the fact that there is a symbol people can rally around at all is more important than the symbol itself in many ways.
There isn’t “feminist dogma”
I think we’re done here.

I honestly don’t either - it’s probably just as arbitrary and socialized as boob size preferences. Maybe someone here with a background in sociology or anthropology can shed some light?
