It really doesn't hurt to know a bit of the IPA, at least the characters for your own language… I see so many horrible phonetic "transcription" "systems" people use when describing how to pronounce a word, it's crazy

Since you mentioned Chinese, there's also an interesting thing in languages that have Chinese characters as their writing system origin and use names based on it (Chinese languages of course, Japanese, Korean and I think also Vietnamese) where names of historical or important people are translated via their written form and not their pronunciation. For example, the Japanese prime minister Ishiba Shigeru 石破茂 is called 石破茂 (shí pò mào) in Mandarin, written with the same characters. (Been a while since I read about this so I forgot the examples where the name is pronounced significantly different and in all of these languages but this is a good enough example)

Highly recommend this game!

When I'm dead I will haunt every cop who goes after anyone owning or selling my bones forever btw

Ah okay, so you know some behind the scenes info or at least more than just this. My bad, but tbh you should have lead with that because initially I thought you completely misread what the text was saying because I pretty clearly read the queer mentions as “this is not just transphobic attacks by bigots” (see my other comment). Sorry!

There isn’t really, you can probably use sendmail as well. Postfix is just the MTA I’m used to and know can do all of this.

From what I’ve heard about sendmail’s config file, I personally wouldn’t want to use it specifically though…

Yeah, this should work (assuming by email client you mean MTA).

Alternatively, you can set up Postfix to deliver mail over SSH to another MTA by defining a new service in master.cf that calls sendmail on the destination server. This postfix could run in a container as well or on the host, whatever is reachable.

Old NixOS configuration for that here, see the default_transport and masterConfig parts: https://git.dblsaiko.net/systems/tree/modules/sys2x/mail/relay.nix?h=ssh-mail

Alternatively, if you don't have another mail server somewhere that you want to relay to, the simplest option is probably to just have Postfix deliver into a local mailbox and access that over IMAP (the imaps port should not be blocked, right? You can use a non-standard port though). Turn off non-local delivery though.

Oooh, it’s been so long since I had mushroom soup. Thanks for the idea!

One of my favorites is Goulash.

Meshtastic node with a GPS radio perhaps. They’re not that expensive and work off the grid. Might need a bit of manual assembly depending on what you get but nothing too difficult.

I assume you’re talking about the iOS feature, which is pretty new, and they have their own photo selector UI which has existed before that. They probably just didn’t make it work well with limited access yet, Signal has a lot of small UX warts in general when it comes to system integration.

I didn’t say that. I would say it makes it much less likely though especially for someone who is openly trans and given someone who has text like “trans rights are human rights” on her web page. Of course it’s not impossible, but it would certainly be hypocritical and goes contrary to the vibe I’m getting from her.

You’re the first one who brought this up. Where is the context for what you are talking about? Which people are saying she’s a bigot?

People I trust who know a lot about community organizing or whatever you want to call this, and are more involved in Matrix than me, told me that this conflict is a lot more complex than just what this document describes.

So I suppose, don’t draw any conclusions just yet if this is the first time you’re hearing about this like it is for me.

Did we read the same text file? I’m seeing none of what you’re talking about. The person who wrote this is also trans.

Also, I keep wondering why Anubis got so popular while other proof of work captchas have been around for much longer.

It’s the anime girl obviously.

It’s noteworthy because this is usually the type of attacks a trans person gets from transphobic trolls and not from her own community. Drives the point home that this is not exclusively transphobia.

Telemetry

Ah, makes sense I suppose. I can see how the US does benefit from the status quo too in relations to the PRC so they wouldn’t want to let that go. Thanks!

(Also I didn’t notice that mistake either, oops. I meant Taiwan as well)

Another time I left my computer while I went out for a walk, came back, and it was like I just rebooted… all my work was gone, and it was starting fresh from the login screen.

Well, I'm pretty sure I had this happen once or twice in the recent past after wake from suspend I think, but it might be that my CPU is just one of the faulty intel ones.

Either way the rest of this does not reflect my experience at all. Try distrohopping, I feel like you'll find one that you like and doesn't have these issues. openSuSE is always one of my suggestions, it was the one that I used for a long time when I started out as well, but tbh I'm out of touch with the more mainstream distros, I've only touched Gentoo and NixOS in the past >5 years. (I also specifically recommend against using Ubuntu.)

Then I’ll open a different app, sometimes it might open, sometimes it won’t.

Or an app will freeze for no obvious reason, and I’ll get a popup asking to wait or quit.

Check journalctl --user, and also htop, specifically the process state, for the last one (you mention a NAS, is it perhaps stuck on IO? I'm in a fucked network where that regularly happens with my NAS.)

Today, polling with the mainland indicates precisely what I said, independence and integration are minority opinions.

Do you know why so many of them see the status quo as the best option?
