Bingo. And if you don’t use apps with ads, like only using jellyfin, you get none at all.

I genuinely believe that if he was still around he’d of ended up a proponent for federated social media. I’m pretty sure he was the driving force behind opening it’s source, and it wasn’t until four years after his death that it was closed off again.

I live In Melbourne, Australia. I have heard that Manchester is a pretty decent city for queer folks, but I think there’s a lot of factors that go into it. The NHS (and the UK as a whole) has a lot of deep and systemic issues when it comes to healthcare for trans folks, which don’t exist here in Aus, or in my state. As well Melbourne has been very resistant to the import of right-wing anti-trans rhetoric from the US and UK.

Yeah the staff were great. Tbf tho I also live in one of the most trans-inclusive english-speaking cities in the world.

Yeah, I think so! There’s a trans indoor climbing group in my city that meets once a month, and it’s really comfy being around other queer folks while doing it. I really enjoyed the camaraderie that entailed, building each other up and looking out for one another.

I definitely felt what you’re talking about, quieting my mind and focusing on the problem at hand.

Funnily enough, I probably will have to focus more on using my arms than my legs. I have a physical disability and my knees are a major pain point. I use a power chair a lot of the time outside the house. I actually loved that nobody made me feel infantilised even though I rocked up in it.

I literally just had my first indoor bouldering session yesterday and loved it

and then not restart?

I had Teams restart, twice, during an incredibly important meeting with the government, because it updated itself without my consent.

Yes, that’s kind of the point. They wanted to steal every artist that uses their software’s work, and then use it (or sell it) to train AI to put those artists out of work.

It feels like the epitome of “short term profits at the cost of long term gain”. No one’s going to be using your software if you put them out of work. But I guess when you’re a monopoly the only direction to go is down.

I already thought this list was doing a lot of lifting for capitalism but wow:

8. Free healthcare, as most critics of UnitedHealthcare think should replace privatized healthcare, has as many if not more problems as privatized healthcare, evidenced by Canada preventing disabled families from immigrating there so their system can ignore [sic]

It genuinely had me cackling seeing this misinformation included. Firstly, Canada is, by and large, pretty poor at free healthcare. The UK is also a mess. But even then it’s not true, here’s a source for that: https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2023/jan/us-health-care-global-perspective-2022

Surely there’s a better source than thetoptens.com for this perspective?
