yeah, i guess. in germany this concept is unfortunately widely unknown, and even if there are people who act accordingly health ensurance might not be willing to pay.
i don't know. i can't really handle all thes maybes:
maybe i'll find someone, who than maybe has time for me, who also maybe accepts my therapist and maybe my ensurance is in too. there is absolutely no process. or at least none i comprehend. all information i could get so far is hearsay from other trans people in town or information about my rights and how it should work from advocating/support groups who can't treat me .. that's why i'd consider this also to be hearsay, as in practice all of that did not work.
plz have a nice whatever-time-of-day.
i'll try to sleep. <3
yeah! we are in the process of doing that right now. we are a quite big organisation, so it'll take more steps, but some departments will have done the switch to foss office stuff in autumn. to the rest of us it's an option already. linux nay follow in a few .. years?
i got win11 on my machine now. the result is: it's way slower. nice of my employer to push deceleration. sips tea
i guess convenience seekers can have linux these days. ppl don't care for the os, only for "the programs" they "need". i was agnostic to e.g. office suites (i hate em from the bottom of my heart) long before i considered trying a switch. that helped, i guess. a feature, that can only be reproduced with a certain version of licensed software is fundamentally bullshit.
i wish people hadn't told me abt dual boot but using wine properly (or running a vm?). for windows will fuck up your boot section and that's very scary the first time, alone.
the only problem i see, is the upcoming dependency on copilot ... just leave those ppl be.
instead teach the willing some fundamentals:
piping ps through grep and use kill is not intuitive for the windows user.
the packaging system the distro comes with (idc, just call it 'the appstore').
show them software, there are ppl who arent aware, how e-mail works, and that you can have "your outlook in thunderbird or whatever"
show them how to find solutions, and teach them how to read the shell commands they'll find. (+ the jokes abt rm .. they dont need to understand it all, but be sceptical before running any 3 lines found on the net.)
...
really, its usually abt games. they come from steam. they got proton. teach ppl how to use steam! (and only after that tell them not to buy software that doesn't run on linux natively!)
i had a very unspecific depression over years (am in my 30s now). i had took some interrest in genderbending stuff, but never had the thought, positively, that i wanted to be a girl. i liked it that my beard didnt really grow until my late twenties. all that felling of being somewhat comfortable in my body faded, when i started to see more and more manlyness. i had the feeling that noone would ever find me beautiful again. after a few years i realised quite recently, that i'd rather be a girl. only since that moment of clarity i started to get very aware, and 'actively' dysphoric. still i consider this to be better than befor, when i had no sense of self and self worth. now i know. it's not all just repression.
i had some lasersessions already, and when i looked at pictures of me from last summer i got the feeling i just didnt look at my face, esp. my beard. (i shave without a mirror since forever) but now, that i feel myself again, i can start to care. so this awareness that here and there are still hair is stressful, but i feel it to be the right train of thought.
i started to use ubuntu touch on a pixel5 in 2020. did this for almost two years until the phone broke down. it also was my first smartphone. so it opened up new possibilities.
i switched to a google free android after this. honestly i miss ubuntu touch from time to time especialy for its keyboard. i never used banking apps or the like, but even now there is one app i need some workarounds. so yeah. i guess the linux phone is viable for me. i just didn't want to go for second hand hardware this time. and at the time the phone i went for wasn't yet supported by ut.
haven't had a look into the linux phone for a while. but will definetly, the next time i need to switch phones
litghter, as in smaller, yess. but keep in mind, that vector graphics need to be rendered, wich depending on circumstance and graphic might become inefficient.
i never crunched the numbers, but basically youre outsourcing the generation of a rastergraphic to those who open up your website.
wanted my parents to stop calling me and ask when i would visit them next time. but was too autistic to know how to tell them, that planning travels is hard work for my autistic ass.
