No, not any woman stronger than the average for women, because by definition the leading woman will always be stronger than other women.

At the same time, plenty of cis men are weaker than the average female athlete, but we don't let them compete.

We exclude all males as a category, including former males, because on average they have an unfair advantage. Attempting to make exceptions based on individual performance isn't feasible.

Effectively, women's sports are like amateur vs pro competition. You don't let an ex pro play in an amateur match, even if they're not as strong as they once were.

Literally the only reason we have a separate category of women's sports is because, on average, women are physically weaker than men. If both sexes could compete against each other, women would barely exist in elite sports. If that wasn't the case, there'd be no justification for excluding cis men from women's sports. After all, being male is "just another advantage" like being tall, right?

On average, cis women are physically weaker than trans women also, and so the same logic applies.

The only equitable solution I can see is a third category of trans sports, where trans people compete against each other

I made a track for my game, yeah, but using UGEtracker which is built into GB Studio. It's not the easiest to use tbh so it wasn't that fun.

LSDJ sounds very cool, have you checked out the DirtyWave M8? I ran the cheap version (Anbernic console with a dongle) but I couldn't get over the learning curve. Now I have a Polyend Tracker Mini which I really like

BTW I'm not really a programmer either, GB Studio simplifies things a lot and it's free if you want to check it out

I'm on graphene and I have an 'adaptive' option under Display > Colors

I just cancelled Kagi. It's good but not really good enough to justify the cost, plus stuff detailed here https://www.osnews.com/story/139270/do-not-use-kagi/

I gave yandex a quick run, it's actually very good, functionally, but a privacy nightmare.

Currently trying out Mojeek, one of the few outside the big three to have it's own index. Pretty good - not all the conveniences of the bigger ones but maybe good enough most of the time

I've been enjoying Kagi, although it also proxies google and others, and you have to pay for it, and I was dismayed to read on Lemmy recently that the CEO may be a sea lion. So yeah, the search for good search continues I suppose

This is illegal in the UK and probably other places in Europe. US really needs to make a law against this kind of shit

Fun fact, Charles Darwin married his cousin. It used to be a more common among white Britons (and other Europeans, especially royalty lol), but it's rare now. It is indeed quite common among Britons of Pakistani heritage, buts it's becoming rarer. And the risk of genetic defects is actually quite small. I don't think it can be considered incest when its legal.

There is a theory that the reduction in cousin marriage in Europe reduced the power of clan groupings and led to the more indivualistic liberal culture we have now, with both good and less desirable effects (basically, more freedom but weaker communal bonds)

American companies have way more power over my life than the Chinese government

Yeah, you don't even have to jailbreak it, you can just install it alongside the kobo software, then you can keep both. It's a bit fiddly to set up but not too bad https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kobo-devices

Koreader is available from the Play store if you have an android phone, you can try it out first. Its very customisable, I spend hours tweaking the settings because that's my idea of fun 😂

I've got a Hisense A5 and reading is surprisingly nice on it. Although this looks even smaller?

Also regarding the overall idea - just get a Kobo and put Koreader on it, then sideload any book format you like.

Hmm worrying. I switched to Fastmail too and use a lot of their 'masked emails'. No problems so far, touch wood

How long before Elon Musk calls him a pedo

I love gaming on the go so I'll put in a vote for the GBA, which has quite a few NES and SNES conversions.as well as soke great games in it's own right

Gun Nac on NES, my favourite ever Shmup. It's fairly forgiving but I still haven't beaten it!

Ubuntu Studio!

Got it, thanks. Still a cool project but I'd love a Pocket
