This is an incredibly informative (if not a bit intimidating) post, thank you!

This is an important aspect to ongoing health that women should know before bottom surgery, and I don’t see it talked about much.

So many of these “revolutionary” automation technologies end up being mechanical Turks. I guess “fake it till you make it” is considered a viable business model in the tech industry.

It’s no secret to regular readers of this newsletter that I’m still an avid Plex user. Despite the numerous privacy concerns, price increases, and recent (confusing) primary domain redirect from plex.tv to watch.plex.tv, I still find the transition to Jellyfin a hard sell given its fragmentation and smattering of third-party clients that are all good* but not really great (oh, and hello to the Lemmy readers who always roast me for this take)*.

Alright, I’ll spare you then. <3

This is a seriously cool plugin though, and I legitimately loved Plexamp. Plex’s decent really sucks for this community.

Enterprise

Don’t give me hope…

How would they even start production of something like the Steam Frame without having a supplier for RAM?

They can’t… hence the delay.

If RAM is the problem, then the Steam Controller would have been out by now.

This statement doesn’t make sense. The steam controller is an accessory to the Steam Machine. This would be like launching a PS6 controller before the PS6. Sure you could use it with PCs, but they are part of the same product launch.

That is unless they plan to release all 3 products on the same day, which is absurd and something not even Apple does anymore.

Why is that absurd? Reading their actual blog post, it really seems like that’s the plan.

It seems like you’re just grasping for reasons to be mad at Valve.

You underestimate how long custom hardware takes to produce. Supply chain issues hit the consumer well after they became a problem for manufacturers.

It’s likely Valve has been struggling securing RAM supply since well before the announcement, which is why the announcement didn’t come with a launch date or a price. Valve was noticeably responded, “we’ll see” when asked about those factors, because they were clearly still struggling securing capacity at a reasonable price.

I hate the AI industry so much–ruining everything we actually like to fund empty promises of a world no one asked for.

Thanks! I know very little about the Scouts, so I was confused. The article mentions the Jamboree, but not much else.

They had ties to cut?

I just read this article about beauty standards and while I see the excess of it as harmful I can’t help but feel hypocritical when I think about laser or hormones or even putting on eye shadow and mascara, not to mention FFS.

I’ve struggled with these same thoughts, and while I do believe there is a line between pursuing gender euphoria and pursuing societal beauty standards, finding that line can be very challenging (and subjective).

There is something to be said about acceptance, and I think no matter where you are in your transition, you should show yourself love and grace, because you are so much more than just your appearance. However, if some aesthetic change alleviates dysphoria for you and makes you happier, then by all means, allow yourself to be happier.

At the end of the day, you should do with your body that which brings you joy. Follow what feels right, don’t run from what feels wrong. Changes motivated by insecurities are often an endless treadmill that keep you dissatisfied with your body, while following a lifestyle that feels authentic to you will likely have lasting positive effects.

Both require the same underlying systems - and my face laser wouldn’t be attainable without the massive beauty industry making it affordable by virtue of many cis women using the service.

Similar with hormones. If most postmenopausal women didn’t get E prescribed, then it would be prohibitaly expensive

I don’t think this is a fair criticism. You aren’t responsible for these systems by utilizing them. It’s impossible to live life without interacting with an unethical system. While we can try our best to support the things we agree with, sometimes you only have one option. That’s not your fault as the consumer. IMO the “market decides” mentality is an excuse for these industries to avoid their very real responsibility.

I don’t think gender affirming care or the systems enabling it (especially at the rates they are prescribed) is doing much harm, and the good they bring far outweighs it.

Maybe in a modern context, but compared to the movies at the time, it was kinda mind-blowing.

There are a few reasons, but I think this is the the most common. People accept almost anything if it means they can click one less button.

I’ve spent many hours reducing extremely complex things down to a couple simple steps, only to have people say it’s “too hard” because they need to copy-paste a single URL.

We are the swarm.

I honestly don’t know where people are getting these Wayland issues. I’m on EndeavorOS with an RTX 3080ti and multiple monitors and it has worked flawlessly for ~2 years now.

Translation: They going to try to “marketing” their way out of this hole.

Nothing about Windows or Microsoft will fundamentally change.

Kansas must be run by the Hutts.

It’s collar-bone-o-clock, fellas!

These is a very reasonable policy. Strictly policing what is and isn’t LLM generated code is incredibly difficult and not really the point.

I think sticking to their guidelines for code quality and author responsibility is a good perspective.

In the economy where they still had Tamagotchis.
