How did you set it up? I’ve been wanting to setup forgejo in a docker container but wasn’t sure how easy the process is.

Thanks so much for sharing! You gave me some good info to start looking into. I appreciate your help! I was getting a little weary of Proton when they announced the AI nonsense and now the crypto wallet really seals the deal. Doesn’t feel good knowing my money is going to develop buzzword features instead of fixing the existing issues in their current products.

Do you mind expanding on this? I recently moved away from Gmail to Proton in an attempt to be more privacy conscious and don’t really know of any alternatives. Even at a paid tier I only use Proton for their email services.

I would say I’m generally tech savvy but new to the whole privacy space. What better alternatives are there?

As someone who has previously worked in the wireless industry for nearly a decade this is unsurprising. I worked for one of the Big 3 at a third party retailer and saw all kinds of shady things. From aggressive sales tactics to hostile management and straight up fraud. I was constantly getting in trouble with upper management because I refused to “live in the shade,” a term they used for committing knowingly unethical acts. The only reason I didn’t get fired (despite numerous threats) was because my sales numbers were always up to par. Turns out treating people with respect and keeping to your ethics was an equally effective way of hitting consistent numbers.

I’m really glad you said this. There’s a large amount of the general population who think trans and drag are the same, even people who are allies. I respect those who do drag and I can understand why they do it, but as someone who is trying to present as myself authentically instead of performatively it’s almost detrimental to the cause when those who are outside looking in automatically equate the two.

When I came out to my family as trans, my dad’s first thought was I was going to be “parading myself around like a drag queen” (his words). He voiced his concern about it, because he had no understanding that they are not the same thing. Typically when I come out to people as trans one of the first things they talk about is how I must love Ru Paul’s and assume that I watch it. I’ve never watched a full episode in my life, and truthfully it’s kind of difficult for me to watch it knowing mentally that’s how people would perceive me if I come out to them.

And while I acknowledge that there can be overlap in the community it’s not who I am, nor is it how I want to be perceived. I don’t have the luxury of “taking off” who I am, nor am I trying to be a caricature of a woman. I’m just trying to be myself and I wish more people understood that.

This looks super interesting! I’ve been looking for a simple “cyberdeck” build for awhile now. I think this one might be it. It looks like there’s quite a bit of room in the chassis, I wonder if you can fit a full Raspberry Pi in there with minimal tweaking.

You need to make sure your phone is very still before it appears. I usually will lay mine on a table or the top of a car and then tilt my head underneath it until it appears and when it does gently hit the button. I’ve gotten some pretty cool results from it like shooting stars and even the Milky Way.

Huh, TIL. I had no idea that was an option but that’s super useful for things I need to type in on a device with no keyboard, or even things I can’t access my password manager for. Thanks for the protip there!

Interesting, I didn’t know they added an enhanced denoise feature. I do astrophotography and removing noise is something astrophotographer’s constantly fight against so I’ll have to give this a shot. I’m curious how it’ll compare to something like Topaz Ai Denoise tool which does a pretty solid job.

Edited: I misread your original post and thought the 1st image was the original. I actually think it did a pretty decent job, perhaps adding a little bit too much sharpness, but overall I’m surprised at the results especially compared to its standard denoise tool.

I read through the article and it didn’t explain at all how studying quasars determined this. I wonder if there’s a better breakdown as to how they were able to ascertain this. I know there’s been some major announcements in the field thanks to quasar study so I’m curious as to how this ties into that.

Omg this is super cool! Thank you so much for this!

This is incredible! It seems like there’s going to be a noticeable change in the night sky! As someone who’s just getting into astrophotography, I wonder if it’s something I’ll be able to capture.

Oof, hopefully it comes sooner than it took FFXV to get ported. Although I appreciate that they release eventually I wish they would just drop it cross platform and forget about the whole console exclusivity BS.

It’s insane seeing how they’ve built themselves on a platform of strictly hate. It seems like they’re never for things only against things. Well I guess outside of the child marriage thing seems they’re pretty for that. It’s so strange to me that in 2023 the republican party has regressed into essentially a draconian early industrial revolution era roll back of rights. I mean they’re even repealing child labor laws. It’s literally like they want to remove all progress from the last couple centuries. It blows my mind that this is acceptable in our country in the era.

Ooh! That has me pretty excited then! I’ve been very curious of how they were going to proceed from FFXV. It was such a weird development cycle and took forever, and then it’s release was kind of mixed. I’m hoping they have a nice polished game with a really engaging story.

Oh that’s cute!

Ah that’s good to know! It felt like it went from announcement to radio silence to boom it’s releasing in a month. I’ve forgotten that it’s already been 7 years since FFXV dropped!

Honestly the way you described it has me hyped too! It seems like a really cool premises and story wise seems like they’re going back to their roots a little. I loved FFXII so no judgement here! Also the icon battles look so intense! I think it’s a pretty good way of integrating them into and Action RPG, I liked the summons in FFXV but I felt they were a bit too static and didn’t quite fit into the combat system that well.

I think I got pretty lucky all things considered. My parents tend to lean conservative and religious. However when I told them, they were surprisingly open to it. I will admit it’s taken them quite a bit of time and even a year out they still misgender me or deadname me accidentally, but I try not to be too hard on them. Strangely enough my mom was more supportive in the begining, but she seems to have pulled back as time went on, whereas my dad has went full in on support which certainly wasn’t what I was expecting. Despite this I feel like our relationship has changed significantly for the better. I’m more open and honest to them now that I don’t have to hide who I am, and they’ve shown that they love and support me in whatever ways they can. I certainly didn’t expect for them to be so open and loving.

You know, I try to keep an open mind and try to understand how the other side could come to the conclusions they do, but sometimes they really make it difficult. I genuinely don’t get how this could be construed as anything other than malicious. What’s the benefit in this? How is this “thinking of the children?” How did a political party come to represent views that are so aggressively anti-humanity? It’s such a bizarre platform to attach yourself to so proudly and openly.
