Lemmy has become a weird place. You're being downvoted for being 100% correct. I have the same problem, I need Windows to use a similar suite of programs.

Yesterday, I had a similar experience, I was giving information that was 100% correct, and getting downvoted, while the other person was spreading factually false information that fitted the narrative of 'all companies and non FOSS bad', and guess which side the community supported.

Might be time to just go back to Reddit if the lemmy community is just going to actively support and reinforce anything that fits the hivemind narrative that is appearing regardless of truth.

You know what, fuck this, you guys can all go with the narrative of 'plex is cracking down on pirated content and can see what you have on your server'. Have fun.

I feel much better informed on the issue now. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to pick out a couple of specific points to check my understanding.

!why wouldn’t you want (e.g.) all women (cis or trans) who are expecting their blood test results to reflect a certain balance range of hormones!<

Are you referring here to individuals who have undergone hormonal replacement therapy? If so, yes, that I totally understand and hadn't considered.

!“biological sex” isn’t binary, it’s bimodal,!<

Okay, so in very simple terms, we're saying that biologically, man and woman isn't such a clear distinction, for a very simple example, some men have much higher levels of testosterone, etc.? If so, I can understand that too. But, I suppose it is the actual biological parts that are different, which I was thinking about.

So, if somebody with born as 'female' body parts undergoes hormonal and sex changing therapy, their reason for being in a hospital is probably more important than the sex they were assigned at birth, and so they should be able to choose the best option for them?

Am I right in thinking the main issues is that we have created a society in which sex and gender were separated and defined so distinctly, that for transexual individuals, there just is no 'correct' option available to them?

Okay, someone please help me understand as I genuinely want to.

I fully understand gender neutral (I am bringing up my own children to not restrict their behaviour and personalities due to gender norms because of the the sex they were assigned at birth), I understand being born 'male' but feeling more like the societal definition of a 'girl' in terms of both physical and social characteristics. I understand the difference between sex and gender.

I understand and believe that our body is our own and if somebody wants to change their body they should be able to do so as they see fit, including changing it to meet the societal norms in terms of appearance of another sex.

But here is what I don't fully grasp (but would like to) - why is it wrong to say that those born with a biologically male body should go to the male ward in a hospital? Isn't that where they would receive the best treatment for themselves? Aren't gender pronouns useful when distinguishing between biological differences in the medical field?

I don't mean any offense to anybody with these questions. I fully support everyone's right to identify as anywhere on the spectrum of the social construct of gender. Also, if there is a more suitable community for me to ask these questions in, please do share it.

Fellow reddit news user here. It's pretty sad, I wonder how many hours I've spent on that app. All things come to an end, I suppose.

Stop fear mongering. I guess this account is from a Russian troll farm or something. Well, fuck you, Russia.

Okay, so I have actually lived in Korea for 15 years, and am into self hosting, servers for media, etc.

What I can tell you is, you are fucked. Peering to anywhere other than Japan is a nightmare.

Give up and build your own server in your own home. No amount of peering tricks or CDNs will help you.

The best you'll get in terms of connections to major service providers is hosting in Dallas, which should get you around 100mbps.

Jesus christ. Thanks for sharing, I had no idea about this.

Actually, I'm finding the service to be patchy at best.

Did you enable it in the client on the device? I found that step not very clear in the docs.

You sound like a complete cunt.

So sick of people saying stuff like this. Linux blah blah blah. Linux is not suitable for the vast majority of business and home users due to software incompatibility. People don't want to mess around with wine or whatever else just to use photoshop or word.
