I wonder if this also has something to do with the company itself avoiding shame too. Like firing an employee is a sign of weakness, that you hired someone like that in the first place? Or potentially a difference in benefits or a pension that they have to pay?

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but some girls are just ugly? This isn’t even me making a judgement call on your pic, because even though I don’t think you’re ugly, telling you as much isn’t going to change your mind.

One of the most important things I learned during transition is that I can’t transition into a super model. I am what I am though, and no one can take that from me.

Being on hormones isn’t about being pretty, it’s about whether they’re right for you. Societal beauty standards are never going to provide you that validation, even if you meet that standard for now. Because you will grow old, and you won’t fit into them anymore. Self-love is forever though.

I pay AUD$20.40/month, £10.69 or USD$13.39, for all three in Australia.

Yeah it’s absolutely okay to participate if you aren’t trans, as long as you’re doing so in good faith, which you are :) From the sidebar:

Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Okay, I’m sorry, I don’t want to come across as being harassing, I came back to check on the post and see what other insights people offered. But I had to write a reply to this.

You do realise that it would be impossible for a random person in public to tell you that you pass right? People don’t just walk up to cis women and compliment them on passing as a woman. The only reason the person you’re replying too can is because of the context of being in a trans community…

Wifi smart devices can have that sort of completely local control, not just zigbee. LIFX devices use local control if you don’t connect them to the cloud. However, you’re then limited in lots of ways, such as you can’t then use a smart switch from a different manufacturer to control the lights. Home Assistant takes over the job of Google/Apple Home, which allows different manufacturer’s devices to all work together harmoniously. Those services also provide things like automations, turning the lights on when your smartphone arrives within a geofence for example. HA can do even better because those automations will work across Android as well as iOS. It also maintains the advantage of just one app to control your entire home.

As well, as far hardware, I think you’re misunderstanding a bit. Nabu Casa, the org that controls the open-source HA project, sells a couple of pre-built devices that run home assistant already. They’re designed as turn-key solutions for people with less technical know-how, and provide a bunch of expansibility so people don’t waste money needing to upgrade. The proceeds from those go back into supporting the projects costs. But you can go out and buy a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (512mb RAM) for $15 and it’ll happily run the kind of basic setup you’re after. But you will almost immediately run into it’s limitations if you try to do anything more complicated.

My HA server is running on an x86 VM with 2c/4t and 8gb of RAM to itself. Have a full music server running on it serving ~6 devices around the house though. Edit: 6 fixed devices. It can also be cast to a bunch of places from mobile devices. My music collection is in FLAC so it’s transcoding to lossy on the fly where needed.

If you go to the Meshtastic website, the Beta of the software is listed as Stable, with the Alpha branch considered the testing version: meshtastic.org/downloads/

princessnorah, 3 days ago

It entirely depends, but I don’t think “Stable” is necessarily synonymous with “Release” versions. You can have a “stable” version where it functions correctly and there’s no critical bugs that crash the program.

What? Autism and/or ADHD isn’t an example of the brain making “things still somehow work”. That’s a pretty offensive thing to say honestly.

If you want an example of the brain’s phenomenal ability to adapt, you could instead look to people born with literally half of their brain missing.

It’s a quality issue too, the cheaper the LEDs, the worse they seem to affect me. The street lights in new housing estates seem to be some of the worst offenders.

ReactOS is a Windows clone though, not an MS-DOS one…

Both of these comments are probably true.

I clicked it now and it’s fine. I think sometimes LE certs haven’t renewed yet in their time zone of origin, even tho in the viewers time zone it is expired. As far as I can tell, ssl certs don’t have time zone fields for their dates, which seems kinds weird.

What part of the Linux kernel is proprietary? genuinely curious.

The “cloud” was never supposed to be a service for businesses. It was what was offered to consumers, so they could access the kinds of things businesses have, like internet-hosted storage. But the marketing worked too well on middle managers.

If you’re on a different instance than 196 and you can see downvotes on a post, those are literally only from other accounts on your instance! When they get sent to Blahaj they get dropped from the database entirely, then when other instances ask for an updated tally, Blahaj just replies zero :D

Your local instance will treat it’s own downvote count as valid despite the 0 reply, hence only seeing local downvotes.

Trans people on reddit would often get downvoted to oblivion for seemingly no reason. It happened to me on occasion, with comments that were otherwise benign, non-controversial and at least tangentially on-topic. Like fair enough if they stayed at 1 but these would be at -5 or lower. And always on posts in default/major subreddits too. This stuff was done systematically to silence trans users by having their comments hidden from low vote total. Because actually posting hateful comments would just get reported and removed in those large spaces, and this goes undetected.

Now imagine a trans Instance like Blahaj, dealing with the potential of a new instance showing up just to downvote members, and that happening, over and over. No comments, just downvotes. That’s why Blahaj has them disabled.

Ruff! :3

Your welcome :3 i think one of the admins here put it in a comment a while back and it stuck with me

Hahaha yeah tell that to every other country that has Google, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and every other American social media company serving it’s citizens emotionally charged content. Facebook was even implicated in inciting a genocide. The US isn’t any better than the CCP here. Though it very much falls into capitalist rather than state control, the end result isn’t much different.

princessnorah, 6 days ago

I think you missed a crucial bit of info that makes this graph make more sense: “Normal ratios, given Instagram’s larger user base”. Which explains why the control groups are the way they are.

Who the hell would want to watch vertical videos on a smart tv??

princessnorah, 8 days ago (edited 8 days ago)

Hey, did you know that Facebook is partially* responsible for a more recent genocide? So, considering TikTok’s ties to the Chinese government, which is also known to commit genocides, I’m gonna go ahead and say this is probably a good thing.

Edit: changed because Facebook just incited it, people are responsible for their own actions.

princessnorah, 7 days ago

Have you like, talked, to a teenager or early 20 year old at all during the last three years? Either you don’t understand the huge cultural impact tiktok has had for that age group, or you think every single person that age is a “vertical video crazy”.
