They have neither confirmed or denied it being a trans allegory. It depends on how you interpret the response Lilly Wachowski gave in an interview a few years ago:

Continuing on The Matrix, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —

No, I didn’t.

You didn’t? Tell me more.

Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrix questions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

It’s a pretty neat idea, although currently the bots only reply to your posts. If you don’t say anything, nothing happens. It would be cool if the bots could converse with each other about random topics.

Wtf

Thank god because that following shit was so confusing

This all looks cool but I can’t help wonder if they’ll ever introduce new elements into the game. Out of the fire, cold, and gas warbonds the cold one got supremely shafted by having no ice weapons (and, ironically, having an incendiary grenade.)

I bought $1 of bitcoin around 5 years ago just to see what would happen with it. It’s now worth $6.70. Do I regret not investing more? Ehh no.

You can uninstall a lot of Apple’s apps that come preinstalled on an iPhone. Not all of them, but a surprising amount.

This is bait

Because despite the bitching it still has a very respectable user base, at least purely looking at the Steam stats:

I swear Google promised to open up their implementation of RCS to third-party app developers like 5 years ago and it still hasn’t happened.

It’s a decent game but a terrible one if you are comparing it to the original Overwatch.

Protect your hearing. Listen to loud music in moderation and use earplugs in loud environments.

This is the second time I’ve seen someone say this. Tenacious D is not broken up. Where are you getting this information?

Yeah, Firefox on iOS lets you add custom search engines

Wandavision spoilers

Was she really that popular and I missed the excitement? Is her character really popular in the comics? Is she important for some possible future major MCU event? Or is Disney taking a shot in the dark?

I don’t intend to sound pessimistic, I’m just confused is all. The show could wind up good.

Jack is gonna be the best part of this, you just wait.

Everyone here is saying it’s easy but nobody is mention that if you have any sort of unforeseen problem it can be a huge headache to fix. For example, let’s say your touchpad doesn’t work correctly. Resolving driver issues with Linux can very easily overwhelm anyone who isn’t tech-savvy and now you’ve put yourself in a situation where you want to reinstall Windows and have to figure that out next.

Definitely look into using Rufus to create a flash drive with Mint, let your laptop boot from it, and then just demo it for a few weeks. It’ll run slower than actually installing it to your computer but at least you’ll get a sense for if you actually want to pull the trigger or not (and if you don’t, unplug the drive and you’re back to booting your Windows environment with no harm done.)

The way I see it is someone will figure out a registry tweak to disable or cripple it.
