  • They do, at least, acknowledge this:

    We recognise that this Annual Report for 2023 is arriving later than we had intended. Going forward, we plan to release our Annual Report for 2024 in Q1 of 2025, where we will establish clear and ambitious goals for 2025 and beyond. This adjusted timeline allows us to provide more timely insights and better align our reporting with our ongoing growth and development.

  • They don't strip out the markdown on the bluesky side, so posts are just full of junk. Weird choice given the focus on 'seamless' integrated between the two.

  • It's because YouTube puts a bunch of JavaScript at the start of the file (1MiB) before the opengraph tags and Lemmy only fetches the first 512 KiB (a fix was merged a couple days ago).

  • Traditionally, puberty blockers would be used in cases where children start puberty at extremely young ages

    Puberty blockers have been prescribed to transgender youth since the 90s, they're use in combating gender dysphoria is just as much a part of the puberty blocker tradition as their use in combating early puberty.

    I would not want to be held accountable for the countless stupid things I said or beliefs I held at a young age, so I can see why it is a concern.

    This subtle notion that slips into this discourse that being trans is akin to a make-belief thing is deeply frustrating. No, children were not just being given puberty blockers because they suddenly declared that they weren't their assigned gender. Getting puberty blockers required a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, something I can assure you is not an easy thing to get in this country, and even then still needed a specialist's approval.

    This is the worst part of this 'debate', people are led to believe that it's the child deciding for themselves that they get puberty blockers despite the very stringent requirements on their use for trans youths. The point of this entire ordeal is not to protect kids (puberty blocker usage has a 4% regret rate), it's to build up the idea that no amount of safeguards can make the prescribing of trans healthcare acceptable to people you don't believe have full bodily autonomy. Where this goes from here is not looking for other areas in which our medical system is failing children, it's expanding the list of trans people who don't have full bodily autonomy. The Cass Review has already said that autistic people need special consideration.

  • Context for people who don't keep up with Lemmy drama.

  • I'd completely forgot about them tbh. You also see it a lot with cheese alternatives, even though they broadly fucking suck so I don't know why the cheese industry even bothers.

  • In 2019, Oatly applied to trademark the phrase “Post Milk Generation” but this was rejected by the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) in January last year after ruling that its use of the term “milk” was “deceptive”.

    But this trademark is clearly them establishing themselves as not-milk and plenty of vegan products term themselves like this ("No Steak Pie") without issue, it's only dairy products that this ridiculous standard applied to them. Guess I'll just continue to enjoy the two bottles of oat 'drink' I have in my fridge.

    To be honest I do think calling it “milk” lets them inflate the price when it is essentially porridge water.

    Most good oat milks will have stabilisers and vitamins (B12 especially) added to them vs if you just made some at home.

  • Maybe after it arrives in merry old England.

  • Most countries don't, it's important to remember that the country isn't Taiwan but the Republic of China and it continues to lay claim to mainland China, so any recognition would sour relations with the PRC.

  • 🤓 ☝️ Actually black and white are shades, not colours.

  • It seems the bridge didn't see the reply. Might be something worth making a bug report about. (Also, ignore the update profile entry, I clicked the icon by accident)

  • Your reply is there? Did it just take a while to go through?

  • Screaming at my single-threaded, synchronous web scraper "Why are you so slow, I have a 4090!"

  • Why would an RTX 4090 make Python faster?

  • You can, it's just that individual accounts need to opt into the bridge.

  • At this rate, the closest thing to a new Disco Elysium we're getting is the book on all these disputes.

  • This might be a db0 issue tbh, here's that 196 post on .ml and slrpnk and it works fine.

    The reason the AI posts works on previous versions is probably (I know nothing about how lemmy-ui works) because lemmy-ui sees a URL with an image extension and puts it in an <img> tag, they must've stopped doing in 0.19.6 and stated using the MIME type in the API instead.

  • It has an algorithm that puts content in front of you, unlike Mastodon where it only puts what you ask for in your feed. I'm convinced that if Mastodon populated people with low following count's feed with random posts it wouldn't have bled as many users as it did.
