I used to use an old consumer Yoga, and now a new ThinkPad. Some say it’s the wrong way around, I say I want more than 2 cores and 8GiB of RAM. (Un-)Fortunately, I got hooked on the Nix and Tiling-WM drugs quite soon, and so there wasn’t a lot of distrohopping.

Not Linux, and of course the perfect OS.

You should try it, to get a taste of what is possible, then learn what to do, and maybe even stay. But it’s not for beginners, the terminal-phobic, or people that rarely use their PC.

It doesn’t need fiddling, but it invites you to do so. And the default setup is hardly a best practice: swap on a partition, no FDE, no zram… missing FDE in particular will require you to reinstall, and you better have found out how to do proper backups including metadata.

Technoblade never dies! Tom Scott came back, so I was right staying.

You don’t die in Elite. You escape in an escape pod and are recovered by the PFRR. Honestly, it’s a good universe (if you can afford the ship). You have infinite insurance without any reputation repercussions and with an absurdly small copay, can go anywhere you want, and can actually earn money instead of living your entire life doing the same monotonous job. Even smuggling, piracy, assault and attempted murder (Odyssey’s “death” message implies life-endangering injuries) is forgiven by a very short time in jail and a fine. Also tuning your craft is allowed and in part encouraged.

Turing Complete’s main character was abducted by aliens, who threaten to kill them if they don’t prove intelligent by learning how to build a computer.

What’s that? 3 screens, GeForce 3070, 5700X3D, 32GB RAM? Are you rich?
And why is your uptime 4 DAYS?

Hyfetch supports Fastfetch as a backend! It‘s a wrapper to add Pride colors to your *fetch.

In the sense that it takes time off your job, yes. But if you have already built your career, have a high-ranking job, and can afford some time off (does gender-affirming surgery count as treatment of an illness?), the impact will be less than if you went into the market as a woman from the beginning.

I know, the OOP and everyone in the comments said exactly that, and thought it was cute. Although regarding the career disadvantages, that absolutely depends on when in life you transition. Remember, not everyone is out at 20 years old. Some might take a few decades more.

Regarding the „cis fems“ (no iOS, I don‘t want to type cos), cis (here) is simply the opposite of trans (across). There are reports of cis people being insulted by the term, but in my view, they have similar credibility to „I don‘t have pronouns, pronouns boy!!11!“

Do you congratulate for cake day on Lemmy? If so: Happy cake day! Otherwise, please disregard this message.

There was a Reddit comment (I think?) once where someone said their grandma believed trans women were women, because nobody would voluntarily put the societal hardships of being a woman upon themselves.

What do I do now? For GitHub, there‘s gh-v6.com, is there anything similar for RubyGems?
