It sounds like things were more hardcore for you, I’ve never had to be in a homeless shelter or anything. I can definitely relate to a lot of this though, just passing the time aimlessly with video games and drugs, not caring enough to do anything productive, being apathetic about life itself until just recently. I feel like I’ve wasted a lot of time not developing any useful skills or anything, but at least I’m relatively young. That’s all I have to say, but yeah, I hope we’ll all be okay.

4 months, but I personally started seeing hair growth changes pretty quickly, probably in the first few weeks.

HRT did make my body hair thinner and lighter, and I suppose it takes a little longer to grow back. Kind of a “your mileage may vary” thing but I do personally find things easier to cope with, especially facial hair which is barely visible for me now even if I don’t shave for a week or so.

Always nice to see

30-40%, but depending on what I’m listening to, I may temporarily crank it up. I think this question kinda depends on sound hardware, though.

There’s not any significant difference when it comes to Linux compatibility, I’ve had entirely fine experiences with both.

True, it’s easy to see why people call them that

“headless trashcan” is a rather beautiful combination of words

Needless complexity in software is something that gets on my nerves, especially on the web. We went from simple HTML to such a bloated mess that only like 2 web browsers can manage to keep up with it. I mean, does a web browser really need to do everything? Why use an office suite written in JavaScript in a web browser when there are native programs you could use?

BunsenLabs itself was a distro that was supposed to be in the spirit of an older discontinued distro, CrunchBang. There was another distro inspired by CrunchBang, CrunchBang++. Not sure exactly how active CB++ is, but there is a version out based on Debian 12, and from what I remember they seem decent and keeping up with Debian at least.

Not much has happened to me, but my estradiol dose got increased, which is nice. Also, when I went in for bloodwork, the doctor that drew my blood called me pretty, so I feel good about that.

These days, Windows constantly gets in your way with ads, forced updates, crappy apps that install themselves, useless features like Cortana, forcing you to make a Microsoft account, etc. Linux or the BSDs, however, usually give you a bullshit-free and distraction-free experience. Plus, no spyware, completely free, endlessly customizable, and low resource usage (if you use a lightweight setup, but even “bloated” distros like Ubuntu and Mint are often light compared to Windows).

And what surprised me? I guess the only thing that surprised me is how easy the experience is, especially for things like gaming, which Linux has historically had a bad reputation for. Also, how nice it can be to use the terminal, not that you have to, especially as a novice user.

extremely cool; radical, even

yeah, i been pretty eepy. i guess its nice cause i do sleep better than before.
