I don’t know, because I have no idea how the Star Trek character says it…

We still don't know...

Is it federated/does it have social elements?

Instances that don't have email approval, captcha or manual approval, tend to get defederated pretty quickly, because they attract spam bots

CachyOS, because I wanted something arch based due to the archi wiki and rolling releases.

My media boxes run Ubuntu, but that will change when they get rebuilt/replaced at some point, most likely to Debian

There will not be any corrective steps anytime soon, because the UK government, who would need to implement those steps, is actively disinclined to make them, because even though it's less transphobic than the previous government, it is still doing transphobia for political reasons.

This is a setback for immediate protections, but my view is that this isn't necessarily bad in the long term, so long as corrective steps are taken to address the root issue.

There will be no corrective steps.

it should spur on actually solving the issues

It won't, because it was brought about to achieve the exact opposite

Sorry, you found the one place I hadn't updated it with the new code! Done now :)

Why would I care what your uninformed opinion on my response to oppression is?

Judges hear the case that's brought, not the agenda of the groups that bring things.

Uh huh.

If that were true, this wouldn't be an overturning of a previous ruling on appeal. If this were not influenced by political bias, you wouldn't get different results in different courts. Judges wouldn't be "conservative" or "progressive". Judges wouldn't nearly all be straight, elderly and white.

They are though, because the appointment process is shaped by political perspectives, because the acceptable rulings are shaped by political perspectives and the cases that get seen and funded are shaped by political perspectives.

The fact that no trans people were called during the trial is shaped by politics.

The judges chose to read and rule that sex is "biological" and binary, despite the legislation making no mention of it being biological, and despite the biological understanding of sex being that is very much not binary... All of that, you guessed it, shaped by politics...

That's really all I have to say about that part.

Good for you. Trans people don't have that choice.

If this were protecting trans people, it wouldn't have been brought to court by a transphobic group, or the win celebrated by them.

This actively excludes trans folk from vital protections and exposes them to environments that increase their risk of violence.

There's no context that makes this anything other than incredibly damaging to trans folk

That's not mental overload, it's the opposite. It's a job without mental stimulation, boring, repetitive and requires very little cognitive processing. And people doing jobs like that seek stimulation to escape perpetual boredom.

Give that guy a job that didn't bore him to tears, and the picture would have been very different.

As I said, it's always about hitting a threshold, and boredom is a threshold. And if an employer cares about quality, rather than the appearance of quality, they'd have designed that job differently.

I don't often go to concerts, but when I do, I fly to New Zealand to see Bryan Adams and relive my teenage years

That's not laziness, that's looking after yourself and your own needs, and prioritising that over non urgent chores.

At some point, the balance changes, and you do the stuff.

And if the balance doesn't change, and you always put it off, even when you shouldn't be, there's something going on behind it.

There's no such thing as "lazy". It's always, always, always a word used to make someone feel guilty for hitting a personal limit or threshold.

Even if you want to work on those thresholds and improve them, you can achieve that without framing yourself as fundamentally selfish and uncaring.

That appears to be hardware, not a distro

Yep, exactly this!

Something is broken with reporting DMs. I'm hoping it will be fixed when we upgrade. If not, we'll have to go digging to see what's causing the problem

That is very true!
