Well, most of those drama comes from misinterpretation of what is a gender and what is a sex. Sex is biologically defined (most of the time). It is a medical data, a fact. You are either a male, either a female, and a tiny fraction of the population where it is not so well defined.

Gender is whatever the fuck you want. It is more like political, religion or philosophy. You feel closer to a certain group, a certain way of living your life or not.

Paris Mayor: I want a city with less cars. Perhaps it's controversial, but I think I'm on the right side of history. I had lobbyists from car companies threaten me in my own office. [2017]

I'm a car and bike driver. I love driving car, I love the sound of engine and smell of gas.

But cars DON'T FUCKING HAVE NOTHING TO DO IN A CITY !!!

Place of car is in small roads or higway, when using public transport is not possible. Stop taking your car to drive 3km to go to work, you have legs for this !

What's your "Oh fuck, that actually worked!" Linux moment that made you feel like a wizard?

In the early 2ks, computer were ugly grey box with noisy fan and a hard drive that gave the impression a cockroach colony were trying to escape your case. I wanted to build a silent computer to watch Divx movies from my bed, but as a broke teen, I just had access to disposed hardwares I could find there and there.

I dismantled a power supply, stuck mosfets to big mother fucking dissipator, and I had a silent power supply. I put another huge industrial dissipator on CPU (think it was an AMD k6 500Mhz) and had fanless cooling. Remained the hard drive.

Live CD/USB weren't common at that time. I've discovered a live CD distrib (I think it was Knoppix) that could run entirely from RAM.

I removed hard drive, boot on live distrib, then replace CD by my Divx and voila.

Having a fanless-harddriveless computer was pure science fiction for me and my friends at that time.
