This is a thoughtful list, and an interesting thing to think about!

I had a trans girlfriend and through her transition it was indeed on her mind a lot. Once she was settled and just being herself it basically became no issue at all.

On a related issue, have you got any good book recommendations for cyberpunk that features other members of the Alphabet Mafia?

I was trying to work out why a program needed more of the bartender from the Simpsons in it.
I don't know of any other Moes.

Well, I went and looked it up and apparently since the iPhone 4 onwards Apple actually started to get their shit together and started supporting their hardware for more than 3 years ... I do find it funny though that an unsupported iPhone can't connect to the app store at all while even the evil Google's old apps can still get live data without problems.

Yes, it's a 3G. In black if minutiae matter to you.

It doesn't have maps, and most websites are unsupported even though it's far newer than the old Android phone.

I can't use the iPhone 3 I have in a drawer, even though there's nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile my HTC that runs Android 1.2 still works with Google maps just fine.

I was also pissed off when all the OSX software dropped support for single-core Intel processors which rendered some very expensive 2 year old machines at work useless for anything Mac-specific.

For context, my Dad is still using a PC I built out of parts recovered from a skip in 2008, and it works just fine.

Do they last longer? I have an IPhone 3 somewhere that just decided to stop working, yet my HTC with Android 1.2 still works fine.

Most of what's held me back from Apple products has been their planned obsolescence, where the OS was no longer supported, which I've never had with a PC. I've had my cheap second hand laptop for 7 years now and that still works fine with the latest software

Similarly to this, I mostly don't read or engage with news feeds on social media and keep up to date by reading a local news site that's curated by hand and the international version of the guardian website for the big stuff ... although the Guardian is generally doom and gloom there are upbeat stories listed too and it's not a never-ending list of depression like Facebook/reddit/some communities on Lemmy.

I dunno, I live in a little Catalan village that has suffered a bit from "España Vaciada", life here is good and both me and my other half have integrated pretty well ... but the house next to us has been bought by a German who rents it out on Airbnb and TBH it's rather shit.

I'm fully on board with "tourists go home". If we get more holiday let's in the village we're thinking of moving more inland.

Just what we need, libertarian ogres ...

Linux Mint is easier to use than Windows

In pre-op trans women. In post-op trans women the testosterone drops to zero ... the IOC requires women to be post-op in order to compete, for example.

So your "actual scientific fact" is a nicely cherry-picked piece of BS.

Trans women have less testosterone than cis women, to the point where if they want to have some in their system they have to take progesterone.

So, basically, you're just making stuff up.
