#showerThought for this morning--it bugs me when people refer to gender as "men, women, and everything in between," as if "male" and "female" are the default settings and nonbinary, genderqueer, etc are all abberations that deviate from standard parameters. 😑
Like, yes, the majority of people ARE cis, but that doesn't make them the default. That's like saying "there are mostly golden retrievers, therefore golden retrievers are the "standard" dog breed". No? That's silly.
Gender is a social construct anyway, it's not something you're categorized at birth as and any deviation from that assignment makes you an aberrant mutation. Gender is not sex, and sex isn't a binary either--despite the many fascinating varieties of how "sex" is displayed in other animals, intersex humans easily disprove this narrative, not to mention the question of "how many body parts and/or chromosomes is someone required to have to be categorized as "male" or "female"?

Your phone is fine with the new certificates but Linux on the desktop is not. #showerthought Would it be possible that both Arch Linux and Linux Mint have software upgraded that is causing the connection failure ? Could it still work if you would use an older LTS Linux version as live USB stick ? Or would the new certificates actually require newer software, like OpenSSL (which is I think a build dependency for OpenVPN) on the desktop ? EDIT: I guess the latter is not the case since Arch Linux is a rolling distribution. But you could ask your IT persons at the university whether they upgraded something ?
Help required, Certain VPN does not connect and times out
