I’ve read that the transition itself is usually a smaller part in addition to what has been already dealt by nature

This is unfortunately not the case for most trans people. I think it's quite rare that a trans person would consistently be able to pass (=blend in) before HRT.

There are some trans people who are also intersex, which is the condition when one's biological sex (without medical intervention) doesn't fit neatly in either the male or female boxes. But most trans people aren't intersex and about half of intersex people aren't trans.

Edit: But I do agree with your main point, there's simply no way an app like this could identify trans people with the vast range of facial features humans have. It will both exclude many cis women and allow many trans women, as Giggle did a few years ago.

Switching to Linux means you might have to say goodbye to certain proprietary software and games. Applications like Adobe Creative Suite

as someone whose job mostly involves Adobe programs and whose many hobby is gaming, I think I'll stick with a Windows with all the AI crap disabled via group policies and O&O Shutup 😐 For now...

  • Abzu - hated the underwater movement controls
  • Deponia & MechaNika - the protagonist is an asshole
  • Papers Please - too stressful (works well as a piece of art, but wasn't an enjoyable experience)

Tbh the homophobia was just the last straw on the hill of crypto nonsense they piled on the browser over the years. I've been increasingly uncomfortable with Brave the more "fluff" they added, so going back to bare Ungoogled Chromium has been pretty good.

I used Feedly for many years, but recently switched to Newsblur, and I love that it lets me filter out posts by tags or keywords, finally don't have to use external tools for it.

it was a similar article that made me switch from Brave to Ungoogled Chromium a few weeks ago, as a backup browser for the handful of sites that don't work in Firefox.

this meme was my Facebook profile cover for a while 😁

Why not? I still look up information there too, but I use an adblocker, so it's not like Spez is profiting from me.

If you don't want to give them traffic, you can always visit the search result URL through the Wayback Machine or Archive.today.

Sorry, I misread the situation 😅

Lemmy is really wonky for me today, but I think I managed to change the title and update the description.

I'm a graphic designer, and it could be interesting for working on CMYK files and actually see them as they would look on paper.

 

I admittedly don't know much about its historical background, but I found this a fascinating read about the legacy of the nineties' Bosnian war that is still acutely felt throughout the region.

 

Following ChthonVII's idea, I'm mirroring my probably only interesting post on the subreddit :D


Finally got around to watch the 2-hours long GW1 segment of the recent Extra Life 2022 ArenaNet livestream. The devs had a lot of interesting insights and amusing anecdotes, so I made a bunch of clips - sharing them here in case someone else haven't had the time to watch the whole thing.

The participants were:

  • Bobby Stein - writing team lead

  • Darrin Claypool - level designer

  • Colin Johanson - game designer

The clips in order of appearance:

A few more bits that were too short to worth clipping:

  • Early in development there were no professions, you could slot any skill.

  • They spent 4-5 months working on Sorrow's Furnace compared to their usual couple of weeks per zone.

  • GW1 development team was around 70-80 at launch, and peaked around 100 with EotN. (GW2 had 350 developers at launch.)

Twitch only allows max. 1 min long clips, so sometimes I had to cut off an interesting follow-up - if you want to see how a clip continued, click Watch Full Video.

PS.: For the story of the hideous leopard-print couch go to this timestamp in the VoD :D
