It's alright, shaped my music taste from early on, but not something I revisit now. Kinda like Aphex Twin was for gen x

But someone mentioned it also happening on Voyager? So it seems that it happens on both, and doesn't happen on Jerboa

We all moved from Telegram to WhatsApp a little while ago once Durov got arrested and the feds got into it, and I was the one that got them on TG in the first place as it was a trustworthy, good alternative to WhatsApp, so it's gonna be a tall ask to move again from WhatsApp so soon, and Signal is just... Not good. At least it lets you move messages between devices as of recently which is good, if me or my gf lost any messages to each other we'd be pretty upset, but the mandatory updates and other quirks are still barriers.

I use signal with my coworkers and I feel like it's a real 50/50 if they even get a message notification or a message will just vanish. Sometimes the desktop app or the web app just won't sync messages or won't stay signed in and require my phone to reauthenticate.

It only became possible not that long ago to send animated GIFs from your local device storage through WhatsApp without them being turned into a static image, which has been a basic feature that was missing for most of its lifespan.

One of my older friends has a Facebook I think. I've no idea if she uses it, she's kind of odd. I've never heard of anyone using iMessage outside the US tbqh.

I was referring to HRT. In this case I mean I'm trans and I have no gonads after sex reassignment surgery. My sex hormones (which is what people usually refer to in "teenage hormones" because they increase during puberty) come from estrogen patches externally at a dose calibrated to roughly match the mid-late follicular phase in a cis woman, so my levels are around 600pmol/L of Estrogen and 0.4nmol/L of Testosterone (14.42ng/DL in USA units)

At the time I was referencing in the comment a few years back I still had my natal gonads but my testosterone production was completely suppressed at the production sites via a GNRH blocker (commonly known as a "puberty blockers") and my T levels were the same as now as a result and my E levels were around the same level.

Hope that explains it well enough. And no I'm afraid I haven't read the short story in question.

It will also have to be public transport realistically, but what seemed to be most convincing to the people around me is individual health benefits, we have shocking obesity rates in the UK so me being a somewhat skinny fat lady with an overweight BMI without a big stomach has literally got people asking me how I do it, and I tell them I walk everywhere. It's kind of a lie though because exercise doesn't make you lose weight, but it's a white lie since I also have decent health despite no actual exercise and I do actually credit that to walking and believe my car driving peers could stand to benefit.

Obviously this is already with walkable infrastructure in place. The road to get there in North America is much longer and harder and in the US it will require far more fundamental cultural and societal shifts in the direction opposite to the one y'all are on now, like less racism, less white flight and landlordism in suburbs, more welfare to reduce crime and inequality and more cultural cohesion to draw people to cities, and then infrastructure to practically rebuild streets from scratch with dense, mixed-zone housing and walkable yet modern and spacious designs that won't be too europoor style (which sucks too tbqh) so as not to cause a backlash.

Never happened to me on Jerboa!

Another way to do this is sudo su -c 'this is my command'

E.g. change a fan setting on a ThinkPad with:

sudo su -c 'echo "level full-speed" > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan'

So to run a shell you could do all sorts of tricks like:

sudo su -c '/bin/bash -i' and such.

Never know when it comes in handy.

EDIT: Damn, downvoted, any reason why? It works on my machine with a locked root user or one without a PW and I made sure to test it before posting, but I'd love an explanation of why it wouldn't work if that's the reason for the downvote. Was just hoping it would be useful to somebody :/

In Russian, a person from Moscow is a Moskvich (Москвич).

One band logo tattoo. I got it when I was childishly upset at someone I soon after broke up with. One day I'll get it covered up. It's a good in for people to talk to me at least it seems haha

I feel like that's honestly a reasonable thing to be upset about and it's natural. I actually had something similar but I was even older, and my hormones are literally artificially maintained at a specific level that was at the time frequently monitored.

I don't think it's any disorder, I think it's fairly normal. I have a hard time trusting people and I tend to be sensitive to perceived social exclusion and slights.

Unless it's really severe, then ofc speak to a doctor about it or someone who knows you well at least. I doubt Lemmy will be the best place for most accurate advice just due to the lack of context of how you are as a person. Commenters could always be right, but it could be a million other things, or nothing, or "shit life syndrome", or all of the above.
