Please don't watch chappelle as people are suggesting. Dude is a transphobic bigot. He can't go 5 minutes without "waaah the trans waaah the woke are cancelling me actually I am the winner here that's why I talk about these same topics every show"

As someone who uses standard detergent and not pods:

Fuck the language used here. Dear god. "Dummies" "convenience zombies". I guess nobody has mobility issues or accessibility needs. Or perhaps someone is so deep into their depressive spiral that the moderate convenience offered by pods is the difference between them doing their washing at all or not.

I agree with the message here but absolutely fuck this holier than thou gatekeeping bullshit.

In 2022, well into her project, Microsoft said it would retire its gender classifier following criticism that the technology can be used for discrimination. But Ada Ada Ada was able to continue using the gender classifier well after Microsoft said it would retire it. It was only after I reached out to Microsoft for comment that it learned that she and what Microsoft said was a “very small number” of users were still able to access it because of an error. Microsoft denied them access after I reached out for comment.

Flying spaghetti monster feels quite obvious

Beyond that I'm vegan so I'd eat snacks off Aphrodite's belly, therefore snacking upon Aphrodite

That's a great speech what's wrong with it?

A lot of ways to die are excruciatingly painful, but you die, so you don't live with the pain. If you end up in one of those situations and don't die (because you are immortal), I imagine the psychological impact of the pain without immediate release could be enough to completely break you, mentally.

Literally wrote my comment and then scrolled down and two of the points I wrote are exactly what you wrote, thats crazy lol

  • you're not being silly, you are a woman and these kinds of thoughts aren't just for "real trans people" (and also you are a real trans person)
  • you need to start giving more thought to how your words and actions affect people, or you're going to hurt someone you love
  • I know those two nuggets of info are hard to hear and are quite heavy, but I promise that observing them and taking them seriously will mean you live an immeasurably happier life
  • buy a bunch of bitcoin with your pocket money. Sell it on December 16th 2016, buy as much as you can with what you got on January 26th 2019. Sell it all on March 13th 2021. Donate half of what you made to stonewall, and use the rest for the house you'll be trying to buy.

AI shit post

 

I'm trying my best to dive back into the past and play all the gems that I missed as a kid because I was either born too late or too much of a kid to consider playing them. I found myself really disappointed going back to the old mario nes/snes titles because they felt really bad to play as I've become accustomed to modern platformer design sensibilities (like coyote time and responsive movement).

Are there any oldies+goldies that have stood up to the test of time and not shown their age in the same way? Or are so good that they're worth playing despite showing their age? Preferably avoiding racing, sports, and final fantasy-esque titles. Not really interested in anything more recent than PS2 era either.

I already have Earthbound in my sights as it isn't one I've played before but it comes highly recommended.

 

I'm very, very new to nix and nixOS both - I come from imperative workflows and very very rarely anything determinative, so this is all brand new to me.

As an example of the kind of thing I don't understand how to do, let's take an example repo I've been bouncing off: https://github.com/GideonWolfe/Chameleon

On a "normal" system, I can get pip and python ready, and then make install and I'm off to the races.

With NixOS, I've got as far as adding python3 and gnumake to my configuration.nix packages. (I have also discovered that putting python in my system packages was the wrong move, so some advice on how better to go about this would be cool too.)

I can't for the life of me wrap my head around what I'm supposed to do, and so many people online are using flakes but I'm on stable 23.11 (and quite daunted by flakes) so I'd prefer if this was from that POV.

Can anyone speak to any of these points? I've tried reading the docs but it's very confusing for some reason.

 

Has something happened? I made 3 posts and a few comments late yesterday and they're all gone today (but still appear on the federated instances I posted them to)

 

So, I live in the UK and I'm on some probably endless waiting list to start talking to people about things, but I am also financially privileged and if I can use that to expedite my process in some way, that would improve my quality of life tenfold.

My cry for help, is, what can I do privately? How do I do it safely? Are there any "official" private sources for anything?

I am interested in UK centric advice for (but not limited to):

  • voice feminisation
  • HRT in an environment where I can regularly have someone with degrees in this shit tell me that my body is doing the right things
  • related to the above, fertility support (in the scenario I want to have kids biologically)
  • diagnosis of gender dysphoria
  • any other "superficial" feminzation
  • I don't want to sexually transition, I'm keeping the tool

Thanks in advance, blahaj lemmy

 

I've noticed in my time using Beehaw, that navigation has been a bit funky

Example:

  • I scroll through my feed and find a post I want to check out, on page 3 or something.
  • I click the post and check it out, and want to go back to my feed
  • I "go back" (on mobile with the back gesture) one time
  • I have now returned to page 2, instead of page 3, of my feed

Am I missing something obvious? Is there a "close" button on opened posts that I should be using instead? Having to go back and then scroll down and go to the next page to get to my "actual" page is quite tedious
