  • How did you come out to your family?

    Jump

  • Haha I will try stop myself from doing as you do in this case! I am only a little jealous that you knew they would support you.

    Luckily, I live on my own with my wife, so they can’t kick me out, but they could cut ties if they want to (and I would prefer they didn’t). But yeah, that’s a good point. After they find out, it’s up to them. And there are plenty of people that I’m already out to who don’t have a problem with it, so it’s not a me thing, if they don’t process it well.

  • How did you come out to your family?

    Jump

  • No, it is very much welcome! I sometimes wonder if any of my family have started to pick up clues. Or maybe they think I am growing my hair, painting my nails, and shaving all the time in a very cis way lol. Thank you for sharing, and I hope my brother is as rad as you are!

  • Common claim that most transgender youth renounce that identity is not supported by statistics, research finds

    Jump

  • Having not read the full article, I would think their results point towards a need for more data. If the method of analysis can change the takeaway in any direction, and we’re assuming good faith (big assumption), then we need more good data in order to do better analysis. That said, I don’t really want more researchers poking their heads into our business unless they have earned the community’s trust and are going to act in trans people’s best interests.

  • Interest

    Jump

  • Yeah, a much more normal way to say that is “I was dealing with a medical condition. It’s no longer an issue, but it’s a bit personal, so I’d prefer if we didn’t get into more than that.”

  • It’s funny, almost all the trans folks I met irl before realizing that I was trans are trans masc. And I remember having almost that exact thought - “But you were a girl, and that’s clearly so much better than what I’m stuck with! Why would you ever want this?” Obviously, I understand now, and I’m happy and proud of them for being themselves! But good lord, how oblivious was I? Lol

  • Climate Action Now

    Jump

  • And now there are better and cheaper solutions, and they’re trying to hold us back.

  • Obvious choice

    Jump

  • Oh, to be clear, I don’t think carport solar arrays are fossil fuel propaganda. They’re a useful application where they fit. It’s the idea that solar on fields is harmful that I object to, and I worry that carport solar is being presented without the full context as a red herring, so folks like us who want more solar start objecting to utility-scale ground mount.

  • Obvious choice

    Jump

  • Nuclear is good for baseload, and although it is very clean, it isn’t quite carbon-free either. It’s also very expensive, unpopular, and has a lot of regulations. I agree it’s good and necessary, but solar and batteries are way cheaper and can go almost anywhere, so they’re way easier to deploy. With the pace of climate action we need, I don’t think it’s an either-or, we gotta do both, fast.

  • Obvious choice

    Jump

  • I don’t think it is intentional on OP’s part, but this is really well-disguised fossil fuel propaganda. Carport solar is way more expensive than ground-mounted, and it isn’t viable for utility-scale projects. Should we do carport solar? Absolutely! But we also really need utility scale solar.

    And if you put it on marginal farm land and make the ground cover pollinator-friendly, it actually improves yields on nearby farms without any real loss, since that land wasn’t great for growing food anyway. (Not to mention that cropland is about the furthest thing from a natural ecosystem)

  • I went to a school with uniforms too, so guys could never wear anything but the uniform khaki pants. But when my Boy Scout patrol went to a Highland Games themed camporee, I definitely kept wearing the “kilt” to Scouts stuff for months. And they say there were never signs…

  • That’s what I do now, so it would probably just be a fun project for me to see if I can do the jailbreak

  • As an old PaperWhite owner with no loyalty to Amazon, anywhere I can find a jailbreaking guide?

  • Despite all the AI nonsense happening right now, I have a simple question. Do you feel valued? From one human to another.

    Jump

  • Not particularly, at least not by anyone other than my wife. She thinks I’m pretty great, and I just don’t see it. I think I’m pretty average and unremarkable, and the world will just keep moving along without me once I’m gone. Takes the pressure off a bit, tbh, because it makes the stakes pretty low. If no one values what you provide, then it doesn’t really matter if you meet their expectations or not.

  • Getting started with minimal tech experience?

    Jump

  • Well, one of the nice things about Linux is that it’s easy to run on older hardware. So I’d recommend first getting an old computer, if you don’t have laying around one already, to be your server.

    I’d also recommend checking out Yunohost. It’s a specialized distro based on Debian that makes it very easy to launch and host your own web services. Its app catalog should give you a pretty good idea of the stuff you can do!
