Fortunately, I've also got autism... That's fortunate, right?

So they could only find 4 shootings and had to somehow make it sound like a lot. Just goes to show you can make statistics say anything if you don't care about reality.

Yeah, I have an X on my ID so even though it's technically valid for air travel, I brought my passport instead which has my AGAB and wore really loose fitting clothes. Fortunately I didn't have to go through the x-ray that would give away that my body parts don't match my passport.

I wiped all of my devices in case I was detained, not that I have anything to hide, but I don't want to out any of my friends as trans for them to get targeted.

And I've been staying away from public bathrooms despite having a hard time holding my bladder due to some medical issues retaining salt and water. Considering getting a catheter or something for when I'm in public for more than a few hours because dehydrating myself all the time isn't good for my health.

It's really scary right now even living in a fairly progressive leaning state. I won't even think about traveling to my hometown to visit family where it's more conservative. I'm really hoping on the flight back I'm able to slip through security again. It's going to be a lot of paperwork to get my birth certificate changed to what isn't actually my gender since that's not an option, but more closely matches my body parts.

It's sad that just existing means you are classified as a terrorist and have to avoid interacting with society to survive.

Stay away from the US if you can if you are trans, intersex, non-binary, or even cis if you just have some facial traits that make you look a little less like your AGAB. It's only getting worse every day.

Considering the community this is posted in, I think it's fair to mention (if maybe not directly link to) there are devices that decode DRM and other encoding and pass on a stream that can be watched without needing all of that. The ones I saw were under $100. Though it's definitely possible that these may get cracked down on eventually either by customs or changes in the DRM that requires internet connectivity to decode which has been discussed though seems dumb to need internet to watch a broadcast signal, but greed often causes stupid things like that.

It will go the opposite way. The far right justices already have multiple times shown they don't care about precedent or the intention of laws, only finding strict literal interpretations that fit their ideological views to take away rights.

An antenna? If you don't have a TV, you can get a tuner dongle and antenna for your PC and use VLC or other streaming video clients. Unfortunately, the services that take over-the-air signals and put them online usually get killed off by lawsuits. But tuner dongles and half decent, compact antennas are pretty cheap.

If it's POSIX compliant then it will work on all versions of Linux/Unix. Otherwise it depends on specific implementations that have branched for decades.

I was just chatting with some people about how I've discovered how bad habit and conditioning affect neurotypical people. This was in the context of visual, audio, and other gender cues that cause NT people to misgender trans and non binary people. I had recently discovered how the gender conditioning can make it difficult for NT people to change when things are automatic in their brains. They aren't used to having to concentrate to remember words like i do, so they don't have that easy place to inject conscious decisions.

So yeah, there are some things we are superior at and if NT people would just accommodate our disadvantages, our advantages could benefit them. But the current political atmosphere is isolationist and individualism, so they want everything to benefit them since they can't stand to collaborate to get the benefits we offer.

Again, adverse effects doesn't mean death, the fact that the description you posed has that last sentence is the alarmist thing and only applies to certain drugs, of course.

The difference in absorption rates between oral and rectal administration can be as much as double or triple or more in some cases. For example I remember reading a study from the 70s or 80s on methylprednisolone. The absorption rate orally was about 90%, but rectally was only around 35% likely due to bacteria in the rectum decomposing the drug before it could make it into the blood.

So, over the long term the difference in dose could have a significant impact on health. Getting 3 times more or less of any drug, even something relatively safe, will likely mean "adverse effects". With estradiol this could mean greatly increased side effects for overdose like nipple soreness or mood swings, or greatly decreased effect for underdose meaning testosterone takes over again and hair loss and body hair growth restart. These are "adverse effects", but are not likely to be deadly, but still considered overdose/underdose.

Possibly, but I don't see Google doing that either. It's not about where the app comes from really. The thing they are going to restrict is the developer. A developer can not have their app installed on a certified phone, regardless of where the user got the app, if the developer is not registered.

So, since there are no regulations to allow a user to install apps from any chosen developer, only from any chosen app store, there likely will be no regulatory recourse like Apple is facing as mentioned by the OP.

This is different, by design. Sideloading and alternate app stores are still perfectly fine. It's just that the developer has to give a bunch of personal into to Google in order for their app not to be rejected by the phone itself. Middleman doesn't matter which is where most if the regulations are. Problem is that many open source apps don't have a developer willing to spend the time and money or give up their privacy in order to publish an app they don't make money on. So it's designed to kill off FOSS apps.

More evidence that although I love the idea of the MIT license, it is not good when large corporate interests and their money get involved. It's too easy for the code to get scooped up and relicensed or just hidden away. Copyleft licensed projects are the only ones I'll work on anymore.
