I’ve read that the transition itself is usually a smaller part in addition to what has been already dealt by nature

This is unfortunately not the case for most trans people. I think it’s quite rare that a trans person would consistently be able to pass (=blend in) before HRT.

There are some trans people who are also intersex, which is the condition when one’s biological sex (without medical intervention) doesn’t fit neatly in either the male or female boxes. But most trans people aren’t intersex and about half of intersex people aren’t trans.

Edit: But I do agree with your main point, there’s simply no way an app like this could identify trans people with the vast range of facial features humans have. It will both exclude many cis women and allow many trans women, as Giggle did a few years ago.

My main game for the last 1-2 years has been Genshin Impact, and a cursory googling says that it does use kernel level anti cheat.

I never tried Linux, but I consider it every few years. However if I weigh that

• O&O Shutup10 and group policies can remove all the telemetry and intrusiveness from Windows +
• most of my work involves Adobe products +
• my main hobby is gaming, with the vast majority of my games not having a Linux port

there are simply too many factors that would make Linux to be more hassle, have less performance or downright impossible to serve as a substitute for Windows, while for me personally not really offering any practical benefits over Windows.

looks nice, but I’m a PC user

thanks, it looks nice!

Huh, just looked him up, sad that he died so young :c

I tried out Fluent Reader (Windows) yesterday, but it was a bit buggy and lacked some necessary features, so I’m testing NewsBlur for now. The free version is kinda limited, but I love the training feature, and in general it feels the most user-friendly out of the 4-5 services/apps I tried yesterday.

thanks, I’ll check it out! I’d probably go with one of their cloud instances, as self-hosting is a pain with my skill level.

thanks!

that sounds good!

Yeah, I’m looking forward to meeting Navia in-story, she seems nice, just not sure if pull-worthy nice. Otoh I really like geo characters, so if her kit is good, maybe :D I’d love another geo catalyst.

Re story: Yeah, tbh that plot arc is pretty much the only aspect of Genshin’s story I find engaging. The rest is too juvenile for my taste 😅

No worries, but I’m a diehard PC user xd

I might end up going with an open-source desktop app in the end, both Fluent Reader and Raven Reader look good.

Yeah, the issue is that the whole sub is just screenshots and videos of leakers’ Telegram, Discord and Twitter channels. I don’t have free capacity for trawling through these kind of feeds, checking for reliability, etc. 😅

Thanks, I’ll check that one out too :)

I’m moderately excited, looking forward to exploring the new landscape, but aside of Lyney, I don’t particularly want to pull for any of the characters. (Maaaybe Wriothesley, depending on his personality and kit.)

thanks, I’ll check it out :)

For actual conversations, yeah. I still check one subreddit daily for game leak updates, but that’s pretty much it.

Oh RSS feed is a good idea. The only sub I still check is r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks xd

Edit: Anyone knows a better free web-based RSS reader than Feedly? It kept sending me to its paid service for trying to sub to a Reddit feed, until I subbed to it via SiftRSS D:
