Depends on the person but a lot of trans people consider it offensive. Transgender is more of a blanket term and transsexual usually relates to surgical changes. For instance I’m transgender because of my internal feelings and desire for specific social interactions but I also consider myself transsexual because of the surgeries I’ve had (but 99% of the time will just say I’m transgender because it’s a lot easier than going into all this). Transsexual was used as a blanket term in a way that doesn’t vibe with a lot of trans people and was/is used as a slur, and more recently it has found a place with truscum/transmedicalist types furthering it’s problematic nature

I got married while it was still cool but I’m getting a divorce now to be fashionable again

My mom has six siblings. Grandma got it on

Nicotine is water soluble. You can take a wet tobacco leaf off the plant and it’ll soak into your skin and get you a bit buzzed (or in my case when I discovered this mid harvest if you touch enough it’ll get you massively high and nauseous). Imo one of the best ways to get some in relative safety is grow your own, they’re really easy, and just put a leaf under your tongue for a bit then spit it out

Apparently I can’t even escape my QA job while complaining on the internet lol

Being trans and autistic in Seattle this isn’t exaggerating that much from my lived experience tbh

I’m not familiar with what you’re talking about. If not m already converting my notes why not just go right to html?

I set up a build server for my obsidian notes. Push changes to GitHub, Jenkins picks it up, turns it into a website, and deploys to another server. I’m running into an issue though the tool I use to turn it into a website is abandoned. Might have to roll my own 😔

Ooh, yeah mine gets confused every time I’m dusting out my computer with compressed air lol

I hiss at mine, works 90% of the time. He just wanders off doesn’t seem to upset him and gets the point across

My ex spouse’s black cat can do that and open doors with lever handles. Little dude is a menace to society

I used to work for a university trying to modernize how people got student and financial data. Over half my work was playing politics rooting out people who refused to change and going above their head. We had one guy who didn’t want to update a script on his end to include the bare minimum amount of ‘security’: a hard coded plain text password. It took me months and I had to go to his office to update his script and he complained about it the entire four minutes it took

#3 depends where you are on the hit list I suppose. I’m trans, so I’m well past worry-o-clock and am actively making arrangements to leave the country. Someone like a cishet white male tech worker has a lot less to worry about though

I’m actively working to get out of the US. I think about leaving the people and community I know every day. There were a couple people who said they’d go but backed out when they realized I wasn’t just engaging in what if fantasy. It’s been difficult knowing how hard it is to find friends and support in my thirties and I’m going to have to start from scratch on the other side of the planet. I’m trans and worried I could get black bagged any day now but even with that the thought of leaving my social circle behind is almost enough to make me stay

Live the tech worker dream and shift to woodworking (I know it’s not that easy)

This does seem like it’s on the right track. It may be program-specific how those values get used though? So I think the next step is to figure out the common way those values get used by programs and how hard coded they might be

These sound more like shortcuts, are they able to add special folders to a sidebar though? So like in the file viewer I can have a shortcut to my Development folder by just drag/dropping it into place:

But after doing that if I try and open a file in say Kate then the popup looks like this:

I’d like for the folder to be visible as if it were a special folder like Documents and always show up in the side bar for all applications (bonus points if I can give it a custom icon too)

I’m moving to Sweden in about 6 months! Or sooner if things go wildly to shit before then…

Moscow Idaho or Russia they’re both similar temp right now lol
