You're absolutely right, I've updated the post. Since I posted this to !mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone, I'd phrased it for trans women, but gender obvs doesn't matter, so long as someone is looking for feminizing HRT

That's a fair assessment, and I've spent a lot of time going back and forth over whether this is appropriate to post, though I really have ran out of other options. It would not be hard to dig through my post history to find out why I'm asking for something so specific, but I don't expect anyone to do that, of course. Besides, none of what I've said or done throughout my post and comment history can entirely prove my intent; that's a matter of trust. I'm being intentionally vague in this post for good reason, as this is a public space. But there is plenty of reason not to trust some random post from a stranger on the Internet, of whom you cannot prove intention.

This is a great resource! Unfortunately, I don't have money to give to these causes right now, as I'm struggling myself. I'm moreso looking to connect directly with a person of whom I could help with getting access to HRT.

Yes, of course! Unfortunately, that isn't always an option for people 😔

What a shame, going down on a woman is the most satisfying part 😔

I mean, the problem is LLMs. If I were to replace "school" with "biomedicine" or "protein folding," then that would be clearly wrong. However, the AI used in those fields are machine learning models, not LLMs

Yes, absolutely correct. I suppose I should say that dependence on LLMs is the problem, more than anything.

Capitalism is functioning exactly how it is intended to. The entire concept is based off the exploitation of the majority for the profit of the rich.

This is truly dystopian. A ruling in Springer's favor here could imply that modifying anything on a webpage, even without distribution, would constitute a copyright violation (EDIT: only for material in which the copyright holder does not grant permission for the modification; so not libre licensed projects). Screen readers for blind people could be illegal, accessibility extensions for high contrast for those visually impaired could become illegal, even just extensions that change all websites to dark mode like Dark Reader could become illegal. What constitutes modification? Would zooming in on a website become illegal? Would translating a website to a different language become illegal? Where does this end?

This needs to be shot down.

Personally, I have a very poor opinion of nutomic. And yes, he has always been/felt transphobic. He has a history of making massive oversteps to attack people that have differing opinions to his, and overall I believe him to be a threat to the trans community. As for whether we should defederate? I really have no clue. It certainly isn't a bastion for blatant transphobia, and hosts many of the top Lemmy communities, and a very large amount of the active Lemmy userbase. I think the effects of defederation would be immense, and take a lot of time and consideration to understand if it's overall beneficial to the community. That being said, I'm sure I could be swayed to support either side. I'd be very curious what Ada has to say about this, as I believe I'll support her opinion on the matter.

EDIT: I think it's valuable to point out that any individual user can block an instance in their settings. So regardless of any defederation decision (which Ada seems opposed to), anyone can choose to block the instance themselves.

sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root / should do the trick! It'll let the OS know it's nothing compared to you.

Note: PLEASE DO NOT RUN THIS ON YOUR COMPUTER, IT IS A JOKE

For context, ancient Egyptians believed that when someone dies, Anubis weighs their heart against a feather of Ma'at, and if the heart is heavier (i.e. filled with evil), then the soul is devoured by Ammit, but if the scale is balanced, the soul is allowed to enter the afterlife.

Agreed, "would...if passed" is definitely better here.

virt-manager is my go-to. There's also Gnome Boxes, but I've never used it myself. virt-manager is the best I've tried, personally. Both use KVM, so they should be much more resource efficient

Actually, alcohol is no longer recommended for direct use on wounds. It can damage the surrounding healthy tissue, cause the area to experience excessive dryness, and increase the recovery time of the wound. The best way to clean a wound is to use warm soapy water or saline to flush the wound out.

Funnily enough, this also follows the same route as drinking alcohol. Alcohol used to be recommended as a remedy to illness (typically as some form of tonic), but our modern understanding suggests it is harmful in that regard, as we also now understand for its use in wound care (though the difference is that rubbing alcohol is technically better than doing nothing as it does lower risk of infection, but washing with warm soapy water is much better).

I don't see a reason to have a preference for a specific geographic region to not be influenced by fascism. Fascism should not be instituted anywhere, in any scenario. Unfortunately, it's on the rise globally, and I'd personally prefer it not be present anywhere at all, not just in an area in which it has had previous influence.

HRT does not alter bone structure (in those who have fully developed bones). What it will do, however, is alter fat distribution in the body and face, giving a more feminine appearance. Also worth mentioning that it can affect pelvic tilt, which may appear like a bone structure change, but it's not.
