What was there even to feel bad about? He was handed redemption on a silver platter and kicked it away. If anything he came across as less sympathetic than in TFA, at least to me.
Karabiner doesn’t work anymore after the Mojave update and I can’t figure out how tf to use this Karabiner Elements bullshit. I guess I need to read the documentation to rebuild all my settings in a completely different way… fuck…
This hell system won’t even respect my modifier key swaps anymore, and these were system settings that had nothing to do with any third-party app. Moom is broken too, and there goes my windows management. Fucking hell…
It looks like the modifier key snafu was due to my keyboard being detected as a Virtual Keyboard due to Karabiner Elements so I needed to change my modifier keys on that keyboard in settings. One problem down, 10,000 to go.
I also hardly noticed because there was so much other shit going on, but I lost my second display again just a day after doing a PRAM reset to get it back. Lovely. Could another PRAM reset get me back my monitor and Karabiner, by any chance? I’m really not looking forward to redoing all my hotkeys from scratch. I mean I probably should be moving on to KE because the old Karabiner wasn’t supported for ages and I was holding onto it out of sheer inertia, but it’s still such a pain.
So I got my second display back by uninstalling and updating the DisplayLink driver. Now I just need my keyboard and windows management settings back for everything to work normally, but now Karabiner Elements seems to be… gone… from my system…? I didn’t like it, true, but neither KE nor Karabiner is working anyway. Idek with this bullshit anymore.
I thought Keyboard Maestro might be a good replacement for Karabiner, but it falls short in so many ways–I don’t get nearly enough control with a UI approach, mouse actions are practically nonexistent, key replacements don’t work as intended, and it’s hard to find options for even basic things like disabling default key actions. Karabiner just… worked for me. Until it didn’t.
After multiple installs and uninstalls and booting/installing in Safe Mode, I’m coming to the conclusion that Karabiner and even Elements will stay broken in Mojave and my only options are to downgrade or use KM as an imperfect and partial replacement until something better comes along.
I have poured so much effort and time on this and I want to cry–why is it so impossible to get something as basic as keyboard customizations working? Why does Apple have such a hate-on for me using my computer that I paid for the way I want to, with apps that I use at my own risk? Is the entire Apple ecosystem going to come crashing down because I use scroll wheel as a back/front button, or because I press the middle button and swipe to scroll? Assholes.
Fucking,.,.,. Who said that males have a 90 degree mandible? What terf saw that and went “yes we can totally determine the angle of a person’s jaw bone by looking at them while they are alive and have skin and muscles on them still” cause holy fucking shit!! That’s the dumbest thing that I have ever heard!!
Also I doubt you even know what part of the mandible is 90 degrees! If y’all did then you would know that you can’t determine that by looking at a living person and that you could only see it if you were looking at bones! The part that is 90 degrees in males is the Gonial Angle, which is the the angle formed by the corpus and ascending ramus!
It’s the dumbest fucking thing to assume that all sexual dimorphism in humans is linked to our bone structure, cause if you knew how our bones are shaped, you would know it has actually pretty subtle differences except in the case of the pelvis! We aren’t like most other hominoids! Males do not have crests on their skulls or are 2-3x the size of females! This is what a male vs female skull looks like
Note that the differences aren’t actually as much as terfs seem to think! Not to mention that this doesn’t account for racial differences in skulls as well.
These are both female skulls! Note that when you compare the skull of a female European to a female african, the European skull looks much more like a male skull.
The only real sexual dimorphism in humans that we can say for certain is caused by genetics and evolution is our size. A lot of what causes sexual diamorphism in humans is hormonal! That’s why hormones can drastically change the appearance of a person. Plus, there’s social aspects that can also affect our sexual dimorphism, like workload or how society sees body types of specific genders.
But looking back at the skulls, let’s compare it to other hominoids! Heres the skulls of gorillas:
Notice how there’s FAR more sexual dimorphism in gorillas compared to that of humans. It’s much more definite and clear as to what gender is which skull. Compared to other great apes, humans have very low sexual dimorphism.
So tl;dr: stop claiming bone structure is how you can determine the gender of a human while the human is still alive because most of human sexual dimorphism is hormonal and “males have 90 degree mandibles” is not something you should be using to determine the gender of a living human
Terfs are straight up delving into the racist/eugenics pseudoscience of craniometry now. Anyone surprised? Anyone?
