On a much earlier version of Lemmy you could. At some point they pushed a change to disallow invisible characters, and that's what broke it. So I had set my name with a trans flag prior to that update

Nice! I've been wanting to add pronouns to mine but couldn't without removing the trans flag. Glad it's fixed

open_agb_firm is another option for GBA games. Seems to offer better performance, particularly when it comes to audio. I played through Pokemon Emerald with that recently, and it was the only way I could avoid the distracting sound issues.

One of the funniest signs for me was when trying to design a VR game with a friend. For some background, it was a first person game where you can play pool remotely with others. With more of an emphasis on the social aspect than the game of pool. Didn't end up getting past the design phase though (yay ADHD).

At some point in our conversation, I brought up player character model - whether you should even have one, what is should look like, etc. I mentioned being able to select or change gender of this model, but he seemed a bit confused by that, and told me it would feel a bit wrong or uncomfortable in VR to look down at yourself and see a different gender. This confused the shit out of me, so I responded something like, "Really? I'd actually prefer looking down and seeing myself as a woman."

It would be another few years before my egg finally cracked.

When I switched from Reddit to Lemmy, I started using Feeder for news to fill that gap. I think my podcast app on Linux also uses RSS.

I also used Feeder with Nitter for a while to keep up with friends posting on Twitter (I never really got into Twitter myself). Though that stopped working at some point.

So yeah, RSS definitely still has uses today.

Is this how Java web tokens were transported back in the day?

I agree that enjoying her work doesn't necessarily make you a biggot, but it does mean you aren't an ally. Your money absolutely does make a difference. She sees continued support of her works as support of her anti-trans ideas.

How is this legal? Isn't this a violation of copyright law at the very least, plus any other licenses that might apply to the files?

I'm aware of what he's done, but how is that fascist? Are you using some non-standard definition of fascism?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

for fascist propaganda

Do you have a source on this? Everything I've seen them post has been left wing. Most of which was anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist.

I found this blog post, titled The Null HypotheCis, to be pretty helpful when I was questioning. To summarize, basically it can be helpful to stop treating being cis as the default, and treat both cis and trans as equal possibilities. That can be a much better way to frame things, as it allows you to consider if you are cis in the same way you are trying to consider if you are trans. For me, that made it much clearer that I wasn't cis.

So to put it another way - you listed a few reasons you think you're trans, but it's worth asking yourself what reasons you have for thinking you're cis. And how do those two stack up against each other?
