questioning my gender...

i kind of want to become a guy

Wanting to be a guy is the #1 sign of being a guy!

im not dysphoric, im fine being a girl

You don't need dysphoria to be trans! Very much not a requirement. If you think you'd be happier as a guy, that's enough.

i guess ill be stuck as a girl anyways haha

but also if the thought of being "stuck as a girl" is upsetting to you then that says a lot. Many trans people find that a lot of the subtle aspects of life that they don't like and either barely think about or just assume are normal are in fact dysphoria, but it only starts to make sense once they accept themselves.

i would want to present femininely anyways, forgive me but my ideal self would be a femboy…

i would really hate facial hair on myself

These also seem pretty normal and not disqualifying to me. Lots of guys don't like their facial hair and prefer to be shaved. Lots of guys present femininely and are still guys.

Benchmarking CachyOS vs Arch: is it just hype?

Small sample set aside, the performance differences here are much bigger than I’ve seen in previous linux comparisons. Something has to be off right? Curious if anyone is able to reproduce these results.

Unfortunately the reviewer doesn't seem to mention a bunch of details about how the games were actually played such as, critically, which version of Proton he used. CachyOS ships its own version of Proton which pulls in a bunch of bleeding-edge features with significant performance impacts. I'm not sure if that Proton is used by default or not though; it may depend on the specific launcher used and configuration. Without knowing that, it's going to be difficult to attempt to reproduce his results.

John Deere to Pay $99M in Monumental Right-to-Repair Settlement

The settlement also includes an agreement by Deere to provide “the digital tools ​required for the maintenance, diagnosis, and repair” of tractors, combines, and other machinery for 10 years.
[...]
Still, John Deere isn’t out of the woods yet. It still faces another lawsuit from the United States Federal Trade Commission, in which the government organization accuses Deere of harmfully locking down the repair process.

Gave it a try; seems like most experienced players score a 4 or less because you can bounce a shot over the first wall straight to the end. Feels like that spoils the fun a bit, but idk...

Yeah I think the commonality in these behaviors is that they serve to enforce the social order. Whether they realize it or not, that's what they're doing, and viewing it through that lens makes it much more clear what's going on.

I tried Tuesday's and was a bit disappointed since the optimal strategy was sort of trivial and cut out the entire course. I liked this course a lot more though! There were a lot of tricks to incrementally improve your score and I spent a while whittling away at it.

Yeah, so far I enjoy it when the best strats involve cuts that are interesting or still interact with most of the course, but some days it's just grinding a corner bounce to skip the entire thing and that's not fun to me.

Oh wow, that's really bad. I just checked on a lemmy instance and it has the same issue there, so this must be a discrepancy in how different fedi clients handle line breaks. (I guess voyager by extension probably follows lemmy conventions.) I'll update my post and try again. It's frustrating that it's this inconsistent.
