I still have a lot of de-googling to do. However at this point, I only use google as a search engine maybe once/month, and it's frankly usually for the google business info...thing. For everything else, I use Kagi and quite frankly have not looked back. Probably one of the few services that I happily pay for.
People are stealing cars in Canada and shipping them out of Port of Montreal and Port of Toronto in containers with falsified manifests. reportedly theives are using tracking tags to keep an eye on vehicles they want to eventually grab.
I'm going to very sincerely disagree. You can see it as misinterpretation if you like, but I believe there's functionally no difference between the two statements you've provided and as long as the right is trying to come up with any excuse to outlaw our existence, its optically beneficial to come up with ways of educating people who may be "eggs" about being trans/enby that are informative, but are less likely to fuel a deranged groomer witchhunt. I'm glad it helped you and your friends, but given the political climate, I believe we should avoid terms that endanger us more than needed.
Continue using it, I certainly won't stop you. But I'm not going to start.
Frankly idgaf about the prime directive (edit: this is perhaps an exaggeration, I meant I wasn't necessarily referring to the prime directive) , but as an enby person, I think going around saying "doing this makes you an egg" is pretty antithetical to people not wanting to be judged for not complying with the gender roles that correspond with their assigned gender.
As someone who has worked a help desk for nearly a decade now, and hates Mac's and Apple with a general burning passion:
Suggesting that modern windows 11 is any more usable than MacOS for a general "browse thw web and check email" user, is ridiculous.
Furthermore, some educational programs, jobs, courses, software, may in fact mean that a person has a requirement for a Mac, even if they can't afford the Mac. >!Though I imagine your response to this will simply be "just dont do the things that need a Mac if you want to complain about capitalism 4head"!<
What the other user said is correct. Generally puberty blocks are limited to use during adolescence, with use being discontinued in the very early 20's at the latest. They are a measure to buy time for a person to meet an age of greater maturity so they can make the decision to further transition medically or hormonally. They are not intended to remove sex hormones from the body forever (much to my personal dismay)
How do you consider this good news? All scientific literature indicates that prescribing puberty blockers to trans youth has a large benefit to the state of their current and future mental health, while also causing no harm as once they stop taking them, if they dont further transition, their regular puberty takes over with no decrease in how much they mentally and physically develop (dont forget, these are also regularly prescribed to cis kids too)
Holy shit. It doesn't matter if the Jews did committing acts of terrorism during ww2, and it doesn't matter that Hamas has committed acts of terrorism.
And I can tell you why it doesn't matter in one (slightly run-on) sentence.
Because no act of terrorism justifies the actions that Israel has taken against Palestinian civilians just as nothing that was done or could have been done by the Jews leading up to WW2 would have justified the holocaust
There is no justification for genocide. Israel can attempt to eliminate Hamas for the actions committed on Oct 7th, but that doesn't justify their complete disregard for civilian safety and well-being. (Nearly 30k palestinian civilians dead already)
Also, I just want to make it clear that almost every piece of rhetoric that has been used to excuse Israel's actions in this genocide, were also used to justify the actions taken against the Jews during WW2. And I'm sorry, but if you're falling for it now, you probably would have fallen for it then too.
The point is that if someone really wants to get into your device, they will. It doesn't matter if youre using open source firmware, in a custom implementation of linux, on a MIPS CPU, and you personally build every package from source and complete a compliance code review before installing it, etc.etc.etc. If government agency x is targeting you specifically, your best line of security is to lock your device in a safe, take a boat into the middle of the ocean, and then dump it at an unrecorded location and never retrieve it.
A device is only secure as long as you are not using it, and it is not accessible physically, or by network.
You do you dude, I'm just saying your advice is awful for the average user.
Could you explain what part of it doesn't make sense to you? (Or what part you disagree with) Maybe one of us can clarify better if we start there
