Yay! 4.8 supports my camera! I can finally stop running darktable nightlies

I used Dreaming Spanish, which uses natural comprehension and teaches entirely in Spanish, with no translation. It’s not as fast as some alternatives, but it matches my learning style, and has given me a neutral accent when I speak

Digikam. It supports grouping (or stacking as it’s called in Lightroom) by filename, so you can auto group RAW and JPG. It has hot keys for flagging rejects/approvals during initial inspections and review, so you can just fly through them.

Photoprism is not suitable as part of a post editing workflow. It’s a gallery for displaying and searching your photos after they’ve been sorted and edited.

I scored the highest tertiary entrance rank in my school without studying a day in my life and had my pick of any university course or career. I went to university, and excelled at exams, but because I had undiagnosed ADHD and had never learned time management, I couldn’t cope with assignments that couldn’t be thrown together at the last minute in my lunch break. I was academically excluded.

So there was that. Basically, my life has continued to look like some variation of that experience since then :P

I’m just here for the Shadowrun screenshot in the video…

There’s a few “Your question here” questions…

No poll. But I’m a trans athlete that has been active in trans communities for nearly a decade.

I have no numbers, but I think it’s safe to say I’d be aware if most of my own community was against my participation.

Most of the trans community agrees with this assessment. I

No they don’t…

I’d rather submit my records to a sports oversight board than be excluded from competing.

You say “trans people shouldn’t have to disclose their medical history to stay employed”, but you’re seemingly happy to speak for trans folk and just accept that they should be unemployed.

The real irony being that anyone in elite sports, trans or not, already has to submit to the lab work you’re uncomfortable with, as a condition of their employment.

The scenario you’re trying to avoid? That’s why the lab work already happens, because many cis athletes take performance enhancing drugs to gain advantage, because they’re incentivised to in a capitalist society.

But somehow, that lab work is only an issue that you feel the need to speak up on when it’s for trans folk?

Trans people get the lab work you’re talking about done regularly anyway, because it’s part of ensuring their levels are safe and correct.

You’re voting for exclusion (trans competitions will never happen) because you’re uncomfortable with trans people having to do something that is already part of their daily lives

Hot. Damned hot.

30c to 32c is my ideal

Don’t worry, not being able to turn left is all right

The joys of being a 2E student.

Gifted, with undiagnosed ADHD.

Flew in to university without ever learning how to organise my time. Smashed every exam university put in front of me. Failed every form of written assessment that required time management and planning, instead of just knowing the answers. Even after they put me on academic probation and I understood how serious it was, I couldn’t fix it, because I didn’t know I had ADHD at the time, and had never learned the organisational skills required, because I’d never needed them to succeed academically before.

This is kinda the opposite of what you’re asking for, but might address the reason that you’re asking the question?

CachyOS is an Arch based distro, but it precompiles many arch packages (and some AUR packages) in several versions, optimised for either x86_64-v3 or x86_64-v4.

So if your goal is “optimised” rather than “compile yourself” it might be worth looking at

I divested myself of Twitter a couple of years ago (which is how I ended up on the fediverse in the first place) and then in the last 18 months or so, Reddit, Facebook and Discord have all been given the boot too (and for a bonus, Windows as well)

I’ve found replacements for all of them in self hosted and/or community ran alternatives. It’s quieter, and missing content, yet at the same time, it’s far more personal than the sites I left behind. In many ways, it feels like the old IRC days, with smaller communities, but where people knew each other somewhat.

I wish they were a bit more active, and that some of the niche stuff existed, but at the same time, I feel quite at home with my alternatives, rather than lost.

Please report back once you’ve tried it.

Well, assuming you survive…

Then you have Australia and New Zealand where you’re forced to wait and there’s no guarantee the government will cover the medical costs of transitioning.

To clarify, in Australia, you’re forced to wait for surgery, and the government won’t cover it. But HRT is more accessible, and covered under our public healthcare system, so once you’ve got your prescription, it’s cheap to access.

Absolutely! And some of us are weird enough to eat them with jam! But no one eats them with jelly
