Why are we treating tiny females as a separate category from normal-sized females?
the bar for females in the results was tiny. that is what I meant.
Is there a category for people who understand my jokes?
I'm sorry. i am kinda bad at telling sarcasm very well =(.
it is a nice joke.
I think your eagerness to be factual and helpful isn’t a bad quality, and to be clear: I am being serious about that.
☺️ that's very nice! thank you.
as a brazilian, i have a few ideas as to why latam participation in the survey was so low and i don't think it has much to do with low linux usage

lemmy isn't very popular in brazil yet, even inside the brazilian fediverse. my current instance is a few months old and it is one of the first brazilian lemmy instances
-
unlike europeans, the overwhelming majority of brazilians is monolingual. only 5% of brazilians have any level of english knowledge and 1% are proficient. even if lemmy was popular in brazil, most people wouldn't even see the survey anyway
i don't know for sure about the rest of latam (and the global south for that matter), but I'm willing to bet both of these points apply
I'd like to encourage the author of of this to leave the line- and paragraph- breaks in the source text. This is impossible to read as is.
What do you mean? My markdown source text has no paragraphs? Normally I always use breaks
i think i know what happened: the text looks different depending on the client/interface. i first read it on thunder and it looked fine, but i'm now on lemmy web using the vanilla theme and it looks like this:
Yes that is the broken post preview. Click it to open the real post.
I have no idea how to crosspost on lemmy.
