Gorgeous shots tho

I think they're just trying to be helpful.

Almost half of US farm labourers are illegal immigrants;

Pretty crazy how they're treated considering that.

Cool job tho, thanks for feeding people!

iPhones since the iPhone X have the same repair requirement, however the screen and FaceID are separate so you can continue to use the original.

There's nothing special about the touch panels, the FaceID component is a TPM of sorts.

I went looking for sources and found this nice article that neatly lays out the land of rare earth mineral mining:

I've seen some videos of ASM lithium mines, stuff is nightmare inducing. The videographers spotted a handful of children in the hills trying not to be seen.

I think it's doable, it'd be similar to setting up and auditing your own green coffee beans; it wouldn't be particularly capital intensive.

YouTube's algorithms probably radicalized a good chunk to begin with.

I don't have numbers, but there's a substantial population of people wary of the covid vaccines that aren't wary of polio, measles, or even flu vaccines.

I'd say it's closer to auto vs choosing ISO/shutter speed/f-stop.

Web tooling for git is very shallow; I wouldn't want to be without `git add/commit -p` for example.

iPhones have incredible longevity and Apple is still supporting the 5s (2013, gets security patches) and 6s (2014, receiving iOS 15).

I also have a 2008 MacBook and it's a treat considering its age.

Bill gates.

Peertube is interesting tech, and YouTube's de facto monopoly on video hosting is less than ideal. Especially considering that it's owned by the world's largest attention harvesting operation.

That's "only" 187.5MB

It's often not mentioned but marijuana use can result in psychosis and early-onset schizophrenia in a substantial subset of the population. It's still relatively innocuous IMO.

Why would that increase infertility?

Executive Director.

Google Translate often fails spectacularly, DeepL is a lot better but it fails too.

I imagine the pairs of languages plays a part, and of course the prose.

Regardless; there will always be ambiguities, and many sometimes-important-subtleties are bound to be lost in translation. Even when a professional human does it.

(Also your prediction being half a dozen decades late isn't particularly useful.)

I figured it would be about neural network shenanigans but NFTs makes sense too.

I'd rather not be a scan+network request away from knowing which flavour of drink I'm holding.

FWIW the iPhone 5s is 8 years old and received iOS 12.5.4 in June, the iPhone 6s is 6 years old and will be supported by iOS 15.

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not after me.

The iPhone 5s came out in September 2013 (8 years ago) and receives security patches; latest being iOS 12.5.4 in June.

The iPhone 6s (Sept 2015) will be getting iOS 15, not just security patches.

ok cool, did you leave a spare key under the mat so we can turn it off?

For posterity the GP was flagkilled not the parent. It's been vouched since and parent was flagkilled.

Also thanks I didn't think many people would read my comment, I'm surprised how many people opt-in to showdead.

"If you think fashion could ever play a role in transgenderism then you are against transgender people."

It's just people continuing to become intolerant of even the slightest hint of intolerance.

The article is matter-of-fact and not anti-trans, at least from the free preview.

People here are intolerant of comparing the situations of the two articles.

I find it deeply concerning that even considering a parallel betweem the situations is deemed "anti-trans".

This hits close to home because there's a reasonable likelihood I would have attempted a transition if the social climate were like this when I was a teen. How I am now as an adult I am happy with my sex, and I'm not sure how that would have went.

Obviously there's no way to know, but I'm primarily concerned with how easy and how common it is to shut down discussion surrounding the issue. Especially with how volatile teens are, and how high the suicide rates are for these demographics, I feel like these issues deserve to be explored. Should all this really be hidden behind "show dead"?

I happen to have a very stigmatized mental health issue with an absurd suicide rate (5-10%?), and I'm happy to come across people discussing it, even if a few of them regard everyone afflicted with it as incorrigible.

Back to the topic, I also went through a phase of convincing myself I had DID/schizophrenia, and did expend my mom's and a doctor's time with it, then just clammed up.

In my case one experience was a lot more "real" than the other; I strongly felt closer to another gender, it was never about attention or identity, it was just a mild internal struggle. On the other hand I might have latched onto being severely neuroatypical purely for it seeming "cool", wanting it to be part of my identity, as well as garnering attention from my parent.

Now that I'm older, I'm blessed to be happy with my body and my sex/gender, despite the stronger feelings I had when I was younger. That came with time and perhaps from landing in a loving relationship. Of course not everyone will be this fortunate, but I do worry about people like me who might be directly or indirectly encouraged to make drastic changes they might not be ready to make.

I also of course recognize that severe mental disorders can be very impairing, and aren't something to wear as fashion. (However I would be lying if I said I didn't think schizophrenia is a beautiful form of suffering.)

In conclusion,

I guess I think transgenderism is rarely cut and dry--despite people often seemingly treating it that way--and I can't speak from experience but I assume fashion sometimes plays a role.

I find it a bit absurd to label that notion as anti-trans, so long as it isn't accusing an individual or writing-off the entire phenomenon.

Even when fashion does play a role, does it invalidate anything? I reckon it would just muddy the already-muddy water that is identity. It's up to individuals to sort through it if they choose to.

Forgive the novel.

Canuck here too, I grew up starting with index but I see lots of thumb starters.

Just proofread or follow-up; the amount of clutter and chaos that comes from edit functionality is not at all worth it.
