I think this might actually be the dumbest. My fear of electricity is one of the main reasons I focus my tech shenanigans on the software side of things rather than the hardware.
This kind of hacky dumb workaround is exactly what I wanted to read when I posted this thread, haha. It's kind of genius but also I'm horrified to imagine how things got to that point.
I can't say I've never been confused by keystrokes from objects laying on my keyboard, but I do usually figure it out within a couple of seconds at most.
I just spent the better part of the day trying to get a "music archival tool" to work, but I wasn't able to get my Spotify account to connect.
The eventual solution I ended up with was to spin up a Windows VM, get the tool connected to my Spotify account there and copy over the config file from the Windows installation to my (Linux BTW) actual computer.
Of course, I've never really dabbled in emulation past old video game consoles, so getting a Windows VM up and running involved its own troubleshooting... The whole thing felt absurd, especially since there are so many easy ways to download music, but this was one of those times where I didn't want to let the computer best me.
I get that and totally respect it, and I never pursue further conversation unless I get a chatty vibe from the customer.
However it's insanely rude to ignore me to my face after I've just asked you a question. If someone answers "Fine. Cappuccino to-go." that's really all I'm asking for. I'm not simply an interface through which you get coffee, I'm a human person, and I think customer service staff deserve to be treated as such.
You can just answer "fine" and I'll be satisfied though, it's really easy to sus out who wants to chat up their barista and who just wants to go in, order, get out. I'm not seeking to force anyone into a conversation they don't want, I just want a faint acknowledgment of my humanity, you know?
Any ports used in docker will be open on your computer and accessible to any device in your network.
However, to open up a port to the internet, you'd have to do port-forwarding on your router. If you haven't done that, any incoming connections will just be dropped at the router-level.
I work in a coffee shop; I already feel sufficiently dehumanized by the amount of people who answer my "how are you today?" with "cappuccino to-go". I would hate to work in a café where you order via your phone.
That's actually so cool and the more I think about it the more it's making me really want to host my own Lemmy instance. Can I ask what sort of hardware resources you're running it on?
Essentially, someone submitted a PR on GitHub changing a "he" in the build instructions to a gender-neutral "they", to which the main dev of Ladybird (Andreas Kling) replied:
This project is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics.
This next part's just my opinion; that's an insane response to someone suggesting neutral language. As a non-binary person, I wouldn't feel comfortable around this person after such a reply, and I certainly wouldn't donate to Ladybird or anything of the sort.
That being said, we all likely use tons of software developed by people way worse than Kling. As long as it's FOSS and is privacy-respecting, I'll run code that's been written by bigots. However I definitely won't support them by recommending their software to others, or by donating time or money to the project.
You don't have to be prescribed estrogen to have bloodwork done! I definitely think you should seek it out if you go the DIY route.
OP's not asking for advice on what to do with her therapist, she's asking for advice regarding DIY HRT. IMO it's not really our place to question why she might make that choice for herself.
Damn, either you were a really smart 13 year old, or you must have been super desperate and then amazed that that actually worked.
