The first of the famous nazi book burnings were targeted at an institute studying and trying to understand trans people.

The gender division is because women on average are worse than men at chess and likely to be eliminated in a tournament early on if they manage to qualify at all.

This is because chess is a boys club where men and boys get better training and have an easier time advancing and practicing then women.

The best way to get better at chess however are tournaments, where you can play your equal under a stressful and emotional context. Since women can't advance as well as men because of discrimination, they wouldnt be able to play tournaments making it even more difficult to advance their game.

The women's league are created so that women can play in tournaments, get practice, get better and be able to play in the big boy tournaments as well as a creating an environment where sexual harrasment, which is also a problem at the main tournaments, is mitigated.

Edit TL;DR women's league are there because women chess players typically get sidelined. Its basically affirmative action.

Right, so the transphobic fear the FIDE has is that men might try to exploit a loophole by "posing" as trans. So they have these severe restrictions on who might be considered transitioned, why they will "alert" tournaments that someone is trans, why they require legal proof of transitioning before giving in and why they're stripping trans men of their titles (so that if a cis man manages circumvent all these protection by successfully posing as a trans woman and having won all these titles transitions back, he no longer has them).

It's the same trans-panic as in so many other sport federations. Severe legislation hurting trans people trying to pre-empt a completely made up cheating scenario.

Ayyy

Grocy could be useful, it is essentially an inventory tracker. Meant for pantries but it scales very well I think. Depending on lab size of course but if you were considering a spreadsheet than it should be more than sufficient I think.

Rude

Thank you. I think a lot of people think only of the Jewish genocide when they talk about Nazi crimes. While they definitely were hit the hardest and were at the forefront of Nazi hate Germany systematically persecuted communists, LGBTQ and the Sinti and Roma communities as well.

There is a huge gender gap and the men discriminate against women and prefer to play other men. Thus the women get worse/less diverse practice than men which leads to them being worse at chess on average than men.

This leads to them not qualifying for tournaments, which means even less chances to practice because the best way to get better are tournaments. Thus the womens league so they can at least play their equal in a tournament setting. Also having a lower entry barrier for women hopefully motivates more women/girls to play chess.

That means nothing to me.

Sorry that got confusing, I'm referring to this section:

If a player holds any of the women titles, but the gender has been changed to a man, the women titles are to be abolished. [...] The abolished women title may be transferred into a general title of the same or lower level (e.g., WGM may be transferred into FM, WIM into CM, etc.).

I think the scenario they are trying to prevent here is a cis man posing as a trans woman getting access to the easier womens titles, gaining titles like Womens Grandmaster, and then "detransitioning". Now they are in possession of a Grandmaster title they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. It's not the Grandmaster title but still. So to prevent that they're now a FIDE master.

The solution to this completely made up problem ends up of course stripping trans men of their "Womens ..." title to a lower title.

"You should be glad this gender nonsense wasn't around when I was a teenager otherwise I would have become a girl and you wouldn't have been born"

Cis shit my dad says

Yes the policy "allows" for that, but the decision solely lies with FIDE. And the examples they give are of deranking. What they mean by that is not Changing Womens Grandmaster into a general Grandmaster. The requirements for a GM are higher. You need 2500 ELO and perform three "norms" of 2600 performance rating. Essentially have high ELO and show against other GMs your skill. For a WGM you need an ELO of 2300 and three "norms" of 2400 performance rating.

Since a WGM doesn't meet the GM requirements (otherwise they would be a GM) they can't get that title. But now they're stripped of their WGM title as well and placed in rank of FIDE master, which requires "only" an ELO of 2300, and no norms. As such it is lower than WGM.

A player at that level is already well connected and known in the community. They wouldn't be able to keep their transition secret, what with the rumour mill going around. Plus the decision of whether they want to "derank", giving up their earned title for a lower but more gender-affirming one, should ultimately lie with the person and not with the body that already bestowed that title on them.

Are they afraid of loosing to trans people or women (cis and trans)?

There is only a womens-only league. The other leagues are open to everyone.

No it's the federation which hosts many tournaments amongst them the "big boy tournament", the World Chess Championship, and parallel to that the Womens World Chess Championship.

There's a huge warning especially for FP4 on the divestos installation page. Locking the bootloader was problematic on occasion so make sure to check whether it's lockable before you lock it.

The phone's stock operating system is signed with the public test keys from google though, so any security measure regarding that should be relatively easy to circumvent if you know how to sign your own OS.

Completely agree. They want a tiktok or Instagram clone except for link aggregation. Happy people mindlessly scrolling and eliciting predictable reactions and emotions.

Installing gambling software without consent is pure evil.

Yeah I thought you were the person I had initially replied to, and was expanding on my initial thought trying to clarify that while having a womens category is not discrimination, this regulation is discriminatory.

You have to completely decharge batteries before recharging them.

No, it means your only subscribed to a copy of the beehaw community hosted on this instance. Any content you post there will only be visible to people on this instance and any content you see will be from before defedaration or what other users of this istance have posted.

If you plan on doing anything with linux fuck nvidia. It's such a PITA. Biggest regret of my build.

Why would it level off? The bigger instances will always be more visible and therefore generate more users and content right? Why would that change?

I love dual booting. If I need to quickly check mails or search the web linux launches in an instant. If I need to game I dont care about longer boot time anyhow.

I've been using Debian because it's easy to use basically. But it's no good for tinkering. It takes ages for packages to get moved into the stable channel and testing is exactly that and causes headaches. But if you want a stable and easy to use OS Debian is great. Set it up once and you're set for a long time.

But I like to tinker so there is a clutter of packages I've installed but don't use and I've lost track of them and the configs. It runs but needs cleaning up (again).

Which is why I'm going to switch to Guix. I'm hoping to replicate the same basic set up on my laptop and desktop with only minor differences. Guix allows the declaration of the entire system and if you use the same file it will always be set up exactly the same way. Plus the fact that I can roll back the entire system to a previous state sounds really appealing for someone who likes to break stuff. That said the declaration files and anything to do with Guix itself uses Lisp and as a lisp noob I'm expecting a lot of headaches and tabbing to the manual. Also package installation and so on seems rather unintuitive but the manual is well written and exhaustive. It's more of an adventure for sure but the OS is stable and ready to use out of the box.
