CachyOS. I use it because I am a fan of Arch based systems, rolling releases etc, but CachyOS is optimised for my generation of hardware, and has lots of good default configurations for various apps. They have a customised proton version, a good default fish profile etc.
tl;dr It's Arch, but optimised, and slightly more pre-configured out of the box.
Because it pretends to be different to the centralised corporate social media platforms, whilst giving the cohesive experience of a centralised platform
None of them really fit me. Do I need to hand in my transfem card? :P
Think of it like email.
You have an email account with yahoo. That allows you to send and receive emails from gmail users, but it doesn't let you login to gmail with your yahoo account.
There are projects around to try and change that, so you can login to one instance using your account on another instance, but at this point in time, it's basically not a thing that can be done by most fediverse software.
Thanks. This is one of the reasons we generally don't upgrade immediately :)
You think a trans person getting death threats wouldnât love to be able to identify as their AGAB?
No... That person wouldn't be me, they'd be someone else...
It's a federated protocol, but the network itself isn't meaningfully federated, and is basically just Bluesky (the company) infrastructure. Hopefully that changes, because until then, it's still a centralised social media platform, despite the underlying technology
Maybe I've just played too much Shadowrun with too many Australians, but lots of them ended up speaking like that, even when they weren't meant to be Australian! :)
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that your goal should be pragmatic blending in. What I'm saying is that when you say your goal is to pass, there's probably more to it than that. You want to pass for some specific reason.
And it's worth identifying what that reason is. If it's pragmatic, then that's what you need to be measuring. And if it's not pragmatic, if it's about the way you see yourself, or your own sense of validity, then wanting to pass is the symptom, not the real issue.
A poster in that community posted a link to stonetoss (a vocal transphobic nazi artist). The post was removed by an automod, only to be manually restored. The person who posted it (the only mod of the community) hasn't deleted it. It's still visible on the home instance today.
For that reason, the community and the person who posted the nazi artist have been removed from blahaj, because if they won't moderate nazi content, it means I have to double check every submission to that community.
If the sole moderator of a community was banned from an instance, does that make the community unavailable to the instance they were banned from?
No.
No, it doesn't make the group inaccessible by other users, however, if the content posted by the banned user is also removed, it means that a lot of the group content also goes away if that user was active.
In this case, I also banned the group itself, because a group that won't moderate against nazis is a group that I have to moderate to ensure nazi content doesn't slip through.
But if itâs a one-off then I understand that you might not have the context to know that this guy is an asshole.
If you have any evidence of Lawrence acknowledging that stonetoss is a nazi and making it clear it won't be posted again, I'm happy to restore that user.
If they just stayed silent on the whole topic, and didn't acknowledge, I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt.
Question for the mods: Is it possible to open a proper investigation to see if we can restore access to !comicstrips@lemmy.world? I love comics, itâs kind of a bummer that I canât look at content (or even find) the largest comic community on Lemmy
If you can show me that something has happened to ensure that stonetoss won't appear in that community again I'm happy to restore it, but as it stands, the stonetoss comic that started this is still visible in that community on lemmy.world. Lawrence (the only mod of the community) hasn't removed it.
So here's the thing. As long as your goal is to pass, you'll always feel like you're not meeting your goals (even if you are meeting them) , because that goal is based in fear of consequences and in self image.
Ask yourself why you want to pass. Is it to have more experiences like the one with the woman in the line? Where you can just exist and have regular day to day interactions with folk? Cause you're achieving that, whether or not you believe you pass.
Shift your goals is my advice :)
This is not polyamory. This is polygamy. They're pretty much opposites, because polyamory is about multi partner relations that respect the needs and wants of all of the participants.
Polygamy on the other hand, is only about the freedom of one person (usually a man), and actively restricts the rights of the other participants.
That is what you mean though, even if you don't intend it to mean that
I don't drive. At work and at home I have multiple fast food options within a very short walking distance
Children tempted to drink gasoline, for example.
Sure. But the goal with kids is to work them towards being able to think for themselves. We guide them until they can, and even then, the guidance should look like rules and guidelines, not indoctrination of thoughts and beliefs.
And lets take your scenario and extend it. Lets say that aliens come along, and they see our planet, and they realise that it's doomed because if they don't intervene, scenario X will happen. They can't solve this for us, so they need us to mobilise to save ourselves.
Aliens that come along and set "rules for our own good", and enforce certain protective rules and regulations, like strict space parents, but do so without trying to control what we think are more "good" than aliens that indoctrinate away our free will and artificially create "voluntary" compliance.
In the first scenario, the space parents are saving us. In the second scenario, the space parents are replacing us.
I rode the new bike out off road, through grass tussocks and all sorts of bumps to get this viewpoint!

New camera in hand, we made a deal with some local gulls. We provide the chips if they pose for us so I can get some photos!
And didn't they oblige!
This fine gull is a Silver Gull (not a Herring Gull) from Australia, and you'll be pleased to know, the chip was caught!
NicolĂĄs Mihanovich, an abandoned cruise ship sits moored on the bank of Rio IguazĂș, Puerto IguazĂș, Argentina, at the apex of the borders between Argentina, Paraguay and Brasil.
It was originally designed as a luxury ferry between Argentina and Uruguay, but plans were made to turn it in to a floating Casino. The plans stalled, and now the ship sits, largely abandoned

The photo is taken from near the base of the Kangaroo Point side of the Captain Cook bridge, showing the curve of the river, with Brisbane City on the left bank, and the Kangaroo Point cliffs visible on the right bank.

Kaity has been working away for hours, and had to recompile ImageMagick from scratch to get things work, but now, they're working!
As a bonus, you should be able to upload a wider variety of image formats now.
And as an extra bonus, here is a photo of a random Australian Water Dragon we encountered last weekend!
