I don’t know if it’s the worst or best I’ve ever seen, but Sonichu

Given some of Intel’s crap lately, meeting the bare minimum could be considered a big thing for them

That’s fair, I just like windows and that’s really all there is to it. I’ve had a few Linux installs in the past, but never really found an advantage to anything except compiling this one specific python library, but these days I can do that very easily running WSL, VS code SSH’d to my server or more recently a jupyter server that I can connect to from any device with a web browser.

Now macOS on the other hand, I absolutely despise. It was one of the first OS’s I learnt to use back in primary school, and now that I have to use it for work I have absolutely no nice things to say. Unintuitive, missing basic features and slow to navigate, and I can assure you that none of this is due to unfamiliarity…

Other than messing around with the beta for half an hour, I thankfully never had to use it.

Unpopular opinion that I have no justification for: I don’t mind windows 11 all that much

Best video you’ll ever see on the topic imo (and very short)

Now I’m wondering, surely someone has already made a language that’s designed to read like scripture?

🙏

Holy shit this is some of the absolute worst data visualisation I’ve ever seen, thankyou for this

Yeah, fair enough. Best of luck, you deserve happiness and I’m rooting for you

I’m so sorry that you had such a horrible journey, but I’m so proud of you for making it this far

HELL YEAH!!! I’m so goddamn happy for you!!!

egg_irl was a big part of it for me too, it’s an awesome place

That’s sort of my experience, but I’ll also add that if you don’t know that being trans is a thing then it’s possible to just not recognise what it is or that you can do something about it.

The real sign of being trans is if you go to egg_irl and start relating to almost everything lol /s kinda (sorry I haven’t got a clue how to link communities)

Tbh there’s no magic bullet to be sure, but if you fantasize about being a different gender that’s a pretty big one, cis people don’t do that.

I’ll add an edit: The only thing that confirmed it to me, was how excited I felt after I took hormones for the first time. Beginning them was terrifying, “what if I damage my body and I actually didn’t want this?” kinda stuff, but then I realised I wouldn’t have been waiting 6 months and been to all these appointments if I wasn’t, took the damn pill and felt amazing. It’s been ~9 months now and it’s made me insanely happy, that’s the only concrete proof I can offer to myself that I am in fact trans.

Pretty sure my inability to use a chair correctly is what makes me bi, thinking everyone is hot is just a side effect

I am trans and I can say I’ve never felt like I was in the wrong body, I think most of the time that’s just a relatively flawed way to describe an experience that can’t truely be understood unless you’ve experienced it.

Of course, no one has the same experience with these things and it’s entirely valid if everyone else does feel that way. For me it’s mostly just been that something felt like it was missing, and I fixed that when I began to transition. The main thing was how much happier the internal changes made me, estrogen changes how you experience emotions and being out to my family had a similar effect.

When it comes to “signs” the biggest was just being envious of people who had the freedom to express differently than me. I can confirm that it’s a gradual realisation, though honestly most of that was overcoming shame and internalised transphobia.

That’s always a positive lol

Eh, we can do the exact same thing with swappable batteries, this isn’t a unique selling point.

I know it’ll never happen because no one wants to put the work into build the infrastructure, but the appeal of hydrogen to me is the larger energy density compared to batteries. That’s ignoring all the other downsides of hydrogen of course, but imo a lot of those are due to lack of commercial interest, there’s just not as much money in improving them compared to batteries.

Ideally we just end up with super amazing batteries and never have to worry about storing pressurised gas that loves to escape basically any container.

I can highly recommend symfonium as a front end for a jellyfin music library on android, it’s super clean and has tons of nice features.
