Un Dorian Gray sin pasado, ni patria ni bandera.

I'm just a guy in the #pnw who likes going on adventures, and playing games with friends.

Three things I love: the Oxford Comma, irony, and missed opportunities.

    Most Transsexual Porn Is Watched By Straight Men

    Jump

  • Eh, sort of. Transvestite refers to someone who wears clothes of the opposite gender (trans = across, vestir = to clothe, to wear), and really that mainly applied to men wearing women's clothes, because a woman wearing pants is questionable, but a man wearing a dress? There's clearly something wrong with them!

    As clothing "norms" became more old fashioned, that word fell into disuse.

  • It used to be transsexual, but now it's transgender owing to the differences between sex and gender.

  • TIL the "red mirage" is an observed phenomenon when the overall in-person vote count leans to one party, while provisional votes or absentee ballots, often counted later, lean towards the other

  • He definitely has tabby markings, including the forehead M. Interesting colouring though. Handsome fella nonetheless!

  • If he were younger, he'd definitely declare he could run again, or be god-emperor for life. But he's now the oldest president and clearly has frontotemporal dementia. I don't think he'll last another term.

  • Tailscale is a layer on top of wireguard and is a VPN. Don't open your home to the outside world, that's just asking for trouble.

    Tailscale is a great choice for you at this stage for accessing your stuff from anywhere and not worrying about anyone else. Downside is if Tailscale decides to enshittify some day you (a lot of us) will have to figure what our next move is.

    For the casual and/or beginner, it really is an excellent service even at the free tier.

  • What is the best email server you use?

    Jump

  • Seconded. I came from Proton after a number of years. I got frustrated that because of their encryption, I couldn't use their service outside of their ecosystem. With Fastmail, it just works and comes with easy access to card/caldav, SMTP, etc.

    They just added an api for interfacing with LLMs, which I support because it gives everyone the choice on what to do with their own data. Want to pipe your emails and calendar through a LLM, go for it! Think AI has no place in your inbox, that's the default. Instead of forcing a shitty AI into their product that no one wants, they enable those that do the option while letting everyone else not have to deal with it. I respect that.

    The price is right, it's fast and has been around forever. It is hosted in Australia, which while better than the US, is still a member of Five Eyes, so do with that what you will.

  • I believe they said the only thing you couldn't swap into your old 13 is the new battery. For that you'll need the new chassis to get it to fit. Everything else you could replace.

  • You're trying to apply logic to English? You're also assuming people actually think about what they're saying or even know the so called rules of English. If that were the case we wouldn't have people mixing up their/there/they're or your/you're its/it's etc.

    Fact of the matter, if everything you said were true, we wouldn't have people wishing for a way to clarify and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

  • The next bus is the next bus to come 🤷🏼‍♂️ But the answer to your question is enough to not know for sure what the other person means without clarifying. It happens especially when someone is talking about "next Thursday" on a Friday for example. Because that's in next week.
