I’m an admin too. If your reason for removing a post is because a queer person called themselves a gender terrorist, then it is in fact about them being trans. There is no scenario where you personally are at risk from a queer person describing their identity

Cachy Zen 4 is running nicely on my PC!

Oh, Flex Launcher looks perfect! I didn’t even know I needed it!

I’ll quote Tim Minchin here

"If you wanna watch telly, you should watch Scooby Doo
That show was so cool
Because every time there was a church with a ghoul
Or a ghost in a school
They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The fucking janitor or the dude who ran the waterslide
Because throughout history
Every mystery
Ever solved has turned out to be
Not magic"

Another language. It changes the way you see the world

At the moment, fish doesn’t know what to do with run0. When that changes, I’ll start using it :)

I own my computer. But on Windows, it doesn’t feel like that…

All I’ve got is anecdotes, but as I understand it, trans women are less likely to get prostate cancer in the first place. Personally, I don’t know any trans women that have prostate cancer, and given how many older trans women I know, that suggests it’s less common than you’d expect in cis men.

However, it could fit that those of us who do get prostate cancer are at a more severe level before it’s detected. In my years in the trans community, the only times I’ve learned of trans women with prostate cancer is when it’s been advanced. But those are all second hand stories and blogs/news articles etc.

The opening sentence of that journal article feels off…

“Among people with prostate cancer, transgender women receiving estrogen are more likely to present with high-grade disease vs cisgender men, suggesting potential delayed diagnosis”

Given that trans women have smaller prostates (a protective factor) and lower testosterone (a protective factor) and that estrogen therapy is the leading treatment for men with prostate cancer, it feels like quite an assumption to state that lower overall presentations of high grade cancer are potentially an indication of an increased risk of high grade cancer…

Xenophobia.

I’ll generally remove posts without questions if someone reports them, but if they aren’t bothering anyone enough to report it and I don’t notice that they’re in this community, then IMO, they’re not doing much harm.

But if and when the community gets bigger, signal to noise ratio becomes a lot more important when it’s harder to keep up with everything. But we can cross that bridge if and when we get to it IMO

The way I see it is the rules exist to improve the experience of the community. They set guidelines to help us achieve that. The rules aren’t the final source of truth though, the quality of the community is.

So, if you see something that breaks the rules and is pulling the community down in doing so, use the report function, and highlight it.

If it’s breaking a rule, but not harming the community, then just let it fly.

I have no interest in enforcing rules for the sake of rules. I see them more as guidelines for fostering a better community, and that’s the lens through which I moderate.

Yay! 4.8 supports my camera! I can finally stop running darktable nightlies

I used Dreaming Spanish, which uses natural comprehension and teaches entirely in Spanish, with no translation. It’s not as fast as some alternatives, but it matches my learning style, and has given me a neutral accent when I speak

Done!

Because lemmy.blahaj.zone is the instance where the community is hosted, and it ensures that instance defederation and other federation quirks don’t stop the mod from seeing all of the reports.

There is no need for blahaj.zone to become the main account, just that they have one here to ensure they get a full view when they’re moderating

Digikam. It supports grouping (or stacking as it’s called in Lightroom) by filename, so you can auto group RAW and JPG. It has hot keys for flagging rejects/approvals during initial inspections and review, so you can just fly through them.

Photoprism is not suitable as part of a post editing workflow. It’s a gallery for displaying and searching your photos after they’ve been sorted and edited.

I scored the highest tertiary entrance rank in my school without studying a day in my life and had my pick of any university course or career. I went to university, and excelled at exams, but because I had undiagnosed ADHD and had never learned time management, I couldn’t cope with assignments that couldn’t be thrown together at the last minute in my lunch break. I was academically excluded.

So there was that. Basically, my life has continued to look like some variation of that experience since then :P
