  • Yeah, because of the same experience for the last 2 decades, I always shut my stuff down as well.

    Then I gave an old laptop with Linux to my neoprene nephew. And without further discussion or thinking, he just pressed the power button, when he wanted it to be off - which triggered some kind of sleep mode
    I was so fucking nervous during that, as I had never tested for that, and for the young generation growing up with smartphones that was the obvious move.
    But surprisingly it works like a charm and goes into some kind of standby.
    At least I didn’t got any complains…


  • As mentioned in the linked comments, I think just using something like Tinker Writer Deck ( https://tinker.sh/ ) or even just using something like focuswriter in a slimmed down modern OS, is a much easier approach - because of much easier interfacing with the outside world (and used hardware). That way you can use rather normal stuff like rsync to backup your work through an actual ethernet or WiFi connection.

    But I must admit, I really like the sentiment of the article :⁠-⁠)
    (Although I’m a bit put off by his self referencing as a ‘vulture’ - but maybe I’m just out of the loop here…)






  • What is the role of testosterone in athletic performance?

    Not necessarily. The only aspect that has been shown to provide men with an advantage over women is testosterone. While trans women are maintained on low levels of testosterone during hormone therapy for a long enough period of time, there isn’t evidence showing a consistent performance or strength advantage.

    That one doesn’t seem right.
    That answer is the same as to the question before (Do trans women have an athletic advantage?)

    Anyone able to correct that directly? OP maybe?

    Or else, someone should probably contact them…
    I’m a currently too flat out after work to do anything - but criticism, it seems ;⁠-⁠)



  • Yeah, I need to keep my hair a bit longer to not look like a worm
    So I bought one of those trimmers, you can connect to a vacuum. This sucks in the hair and it gets cut at least reasonable long.

    And every place I went, they just did their typical thing that’s currently en vogue, didn’t matter much, what I was saying. It was always just an adaptation of the current style.

    So I gave up paying 30-100€ every few months, because they couldn’t get it right anyway.

    If I need to look like shit for a few weeks, it should at least be cheap…
