Republican officials from 21 states have accused the medical group of violating state consumer protection laws by supporting gender-affirming care for trans youth. More ominously, they’re demanding that the AAP turn over extensive records about how it developed its policy.

That's the attack, and the care is "puberty blockers and hormone treatment".

This is about indexes starting at 0, not about binary.

Yeah, dying of laughter -> I'm dead -> 💀

A gap allows a perv to video you with their phone, just need like 5cm to do it.

That's what I thought back in 2007. Now I kinda like the convenience. If they added an option to download the games, like GOG, it'd be perfect.

Steam DRM is a joke anyways and not all games on steam have it, so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch for them to get rid of it.

You can just import this filter list someone made. I use it and it's great!

Homeopathy, acupuncture, ozone therapy... all "alternative medicines" basically.

Oh no, we figured it out, but killer robots are profitable while happiness is not.

Medicine: the branded stuff is normally exactly the same but many times the price.

Well, the point of this is a lot of suckers forget about cancelling and it makes Adobe a lot of money.

I don't know where, but I read that subscription services make a lot of money from people that are paying for it but not using it, or barely using it. I guess the "free trial" is the tasty carrot dangling at the end of the stick to attract new "customers" to this fair and honorable practice of "product as a service".

Do what you have to do. If people give you money, it's out of their own volition.

Hope you get better.

We know how feasible communist revolutions are. They end up in authoritarianism, not in communism.

I feel like generalizing an entire group of people is harmful. Trans people are under heavy scrutiny right now and a hot debate topic if you will, so of course you'll have some people overreacting because of how tired of fighting every day they are.

You'll hear the vocal minority, but what about the rest? I am trans and I upvoted that comment and silently left. Am I a "Karen" too?

And don't assume that every person defending trans stuff is trans, sometimes they're just allies with good intentions.

Full of bottoms

Calm down, Satan.

Banned by mistake and trying to fix it :)

That's why I like my steam deck so much: the design is so thoughtful and adapted to its own needs, and unfortunately that's a rare sight lately (not just in technology).

Thanks for this, honestly it was worrying how many upvotes some transphobic replies were getting.

Enshittification follows its course.

I mean, they just paid a 1.6 million € fine.

Entertain me this hypothetical:

You're a pizza delivery person, and you know there are some routes you can take to save you more than 20 min for some deliveries, but you're going the wrong way in one way roads.

One day you get caught, and you get fined 20 cents. You make an extra 5 bucks per delivery. Will you stop going the wrong way to save you 20 min each time you have to do those deliveries?

Well, this is the fundamental problem with fines. They are stupidly, gargantually disproportionate to what they're trying to achieve.

Which means that companies make more money paying the fine whenever they get caught, than just not doing whatever illegal thing they're doing.

If you consider yourself a male/guy no, you're not trans. Why do you not feel cis? Maybe your identity lies in the non-binary spectrum.

What you've described is being gender non-conforming, and while that can be a sign of someone being trans, it can also mean you just like some things that aren't typically associated with your gender, and that's fine too.

You should pay for it if you can, it's an amazing game and it's worth the price.

However, I believe you should be able to play it pirated online, because you could do so in Divinity: Original Sin 2 with no problems.

He said "find out they were born with a penis", not "find out they have a penis". So yeah, transphobic.

Found the furious cis dude /s

Can't you? What about not having "girly" hobbies because that "makes you gay"? Or having to dress a certain way? I feel like straight people aren't excluded from homophobia...

Okay, and some are really good, like DF or CDDA or OpenTTD... But you're never going to find a free Dark Souls, a free Baldur's Gate 3 or a free Return to the Obra Dinn.

So I think it absolutely makes sense paying for quality games like those.

I have my search history for that. Useless "feature".

The original holds up anyway, and I firmly believe they were gonna butcher it, so... is this a win?

They don't care about the artists lol it's about the distributors losing potential revenue.

Restarting can be a pain too.

Recently, I decided to install arch linux on an old laptop my sibling gave to me. I'm not new to Linux, I've been running a debian server for a year now and I have tried several VMs with different systems. But this was my first time installing arch without a script, and on bare metal.

Installing arch itself wasn't that much of an issue, but there was a bigger problem: the PC didn't recognize the pendrive for boot in UEFI mode. It seemed to work in the regular boot mode, but I didn't want to use that. I made sure to deactivate safe mode and all the jazz. Sure enough, I could get UEFI boot working.

I install arch, works fine, I reboot. Oops! I didn't install dhcpcd and I don't know how to use network manager! No internet, great!

In my infinite wisdom, instead of trying to get NM to work, I decided to instead chroot back into the system and install dhcpcd. But my surprise when... The boot menu didn't recognize the USB again. I tried switching between UEFI and normal boot modes on the bios and trying again, after all it appeared last time after changing it, right?

"Oh it doesn't appear... Wait, what's this? No boot partition found? Oh crap..."

Turns out, by changing the setting on the BIOS I probably deleted the nvram and with it the boot table settings or whatever they're called. I deleted GRUB.

Alas, as if to repent for my sins, God gave me a nugget of inspiration. I swap the USB drive from the 3.0 port to one of the 2.0 ports on the other side and... It works, first try. The 3.0 port was just old and the connection bad. And I just deleted GRUB for no reason.

Usually, I would've installed everything from scratch again, but with newfound confidence, I managed to chroot into the system and regenerate the boot table or whatever (and install dhcpcd). And it worked! I had a working, bootable system, and an internet connection to download more packages.

I don't know what the moral of the story is I just wanted to share it :)

Escape from Tarkov 😩

I really want to play that game, but the devs are working against me.

Why censor her name she has 300K followers lmao

I'm sure the carbs are the problem, and totally not the half a kilo of ham and cheese filling.

Why the fuck would I want that speed if I can only fully use it for less than a second before hitting the data cap? I'd rather have 100 times less speed with 100 times more cap, so I can actually fully use it however I want.

Also it's just ridiculous anyway because I don't even think hard drive write speeds are that fast.

We already kill thousands of animals a day, would it be so hard to save some blood instead of throwing it away?

I think the bigger problem is it may be unsanitary/a biohazard.

There is gravitational pull, from both the Earth and the Sun. The JWST is orbiting the "earth-sun system" if you will.
