I find that phrase is most often used to dismiss those who try to help people in need.

It may be. The ICO issued some long waffling guidelines that clarified exactly nothing about it recently https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/online-tracking/consent-or-pay/about-this-guidance/#law

I'm sure they will implement it, right after they implement all the other popular petitions.

This is pretty dumb even by trump standards. You would think the right of all people would know that trying to ban terms will just result in new euphemisms and jargon being created.

Most of the research caught up is probably going to be using the terms incidentally (for instance, a drug study that happens to mention participants were AMAB) and this will cause a bunch of paperwork and probably just end up being changed to something like "gametically" or "chromosomally".

If you interpret their sub rule "Posts must be relevant to the open source ideology" in the strictest sense then I guess anything about FUTO is against their rules, since it isn't open source.

Still seems a bit dickish to delete comments like that. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I read it as being pronounced something like "flow-marked"

If you look at the photo of a magic lantern here https://blog.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/christmas-magic-lantern-slides/

The front lens cap is very similar.

Camera or projector lens, probably of petzval type.

Edit: the lack of an iris or slot for waterhouse stops makes me think projector lens.

If you have a paid google one account you can.

This may be your client or instance, I don't see this on this post on lemmy.

Bold words for the guy who killed the spectrum and amstrad.

You don't really give enough detail to give specific advice. All I can say is I left it too late to reconnect with mine and it's one of my biggest regrets.
