Windows way is superior, in my opinion. I don't think there's a need for File.txt and fILE.txt

The post is incorrect to begin with. I don't know the source of the photo, but in Thailand, the service is based on a lottery for men. You may easily never roll it. There are many thai students (girls too) that do military training during their high school years on some days and don't have to serve later. Also, this transitioning strategy will work in most countries in the world as most of them don't allow transwomen.

Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog

That one is easily rebutted by "Well, we're looking for pedos. Won't you think of the children? I bet you're one of the pedos, aren't you?". And it, sadly, works on people.

How crucial are banking apps? Your experience with them vs. browser banking?
Depends on the country. I'm teaching in Thailand and here you can't do any banking through a browser. You can only use the bank's official app and you don't even have a login/password for it, you have to go to the bank and activate the app in person as a foreigner (I think Thai citizens can do it online but foreigners have to do it in person). Nobody takes actual cards for the payment and you pay everywhere by scanning QR codes which has to be done through the app. If you buy a new phone you have to activate the app again at the bank's office. It's really annoying and the reason I probably can't go with GrapheneOS or any other custom roms because the bank app is absolutely essential.

In which way is it untrusted? If you use CachyOS, you use their binaries, that could contain anything at all inside of them. Do you draw the line at a shelll script you can read yourself?

I don't really see how GNOME is any more keyboard focused than, say, KDE. If anything, other DEs give you much more freedom for a keyboard workflow.

Children don't really want to live with their parents. I live in Thailand, many people here are poor and live with their families for a much longer time. Well, that leads to things that if you're dating a girl, she'll try to move in with you in like 1 month of dating to escape her family (I personally wouldn't move in with someone until like a year at least). In these families, the kids are used as "retirement" and have to send money to their parents every month (I know a few girls that make like 15000 baht a month and give 50% of that to their parents that do nothing). The "more communal" living they have in non-wesern countries doesn't come from a good quality of life. I'd say the fact that in the west children move out quickly is a sign of a much much better quality of life in the country on average.

European watchdogs demand game companies stop predatory virtual currency sales to children
I don’t get it. How do the children get bank accounts to buy those robux? It’s really more of a parent’s responsibility.

Getting unhappy about DuckDuckGo
I’ve tried other search engines any times. Despite the worsening google search somehow is still much better than alternatives.

Could I seek asylum as a US trans person in Costa Rica (or other countries)?

Not at all how it works. I live in Thailand on a work visa, but you can only get those for a very short job list (like a teacher). People do border and visa runs every few months but that’s tiring and you can be denied entry randomly, and obviously you can’t have a job in Thailand with that. There’s a DTV visa you can get if you can prove a remote job and have 500 000 baht in your bank account (that money will always have to be there, you can’t move it out). Other than that there’s a marriage visa and retirement visa (800k in a bank account at all times).

This is such of a niche of a niche of a niche of a niche of a problem, I can't even. All this language debate stuff was fine in 2015 when things were good. Now it's 2026 and we're having the absolute worst people running every country it seems. We have to focus on big things like right to repair, right to privacy, right to your data. Not debating a usage of a single space "trans" and "woman"

You’re just supposed to use flatpak or stuff like distrobox/toolbx. No reboots necessary.

I've been a trans rights supporter my whole life. Trans rights = humans rights. But now I'm being accused of using dog whistles because I don't follow the latest terminally online trends from extwitter/bsky on how to properly phrase things? You need to pick better battles, my man,
