Got a source on that?

And no one is getting that kind of body modifications without talking to one first. Your ignorance of the medical community is on full display.

Non-trans kids who want extreme changes to their body go to the same doctor that trans kids do: a psychotherapist and/or psychiatrist.

No one just getting any of your example body mods without serious psychological evaluation, even adults.

Your argument fails to take into account that any person seeking to change their gender will not get any gender afferming treatment from medical professionsals, without a lot of therapy, psychological, and medical assessment. These kids don’t just go up to their parents and say “I want boobs” or “I want a penis” and mom calls up the family doc to schedule the appointment.

Your whole argument hinges of this conservative boogeyman thinking that any kid can just walk up to their lib parents and magic up a full gender reassignment surgery. And your example of girl asking her parents for bigger boobs would probably be denied by any reputable cosmetic surgeon.

Let’s be real: that type of total transition medical care is astronomically expensive and heavily gated by the professional medical community/industry. So how 'bout we leave those decisions to these kids, their families, and the qualified medical professionals?

I’m a relative Linux noob and Manjaro Arch works perfectly for me, no babysitting required.

That’s a tough question and depends a lot on what substance(s) is being used. If its an opiate, have your friend take a look at ibogaine therapy; it’s seen some really amazing results for some people, who generally report that it feels like it resets something in their brain and they no longer have any desire for their preferred substance. Obviously, milage will vary, but its definitely worth looking at.

I used Boost back in the Reddit days, but when I came over to Lemmy I found there were much better ad-free apps, like Voyager.

Only Boost and Sync have added ads. There are much better FOSS Lemmy clients like Voyager, that are ad-free and have a much better interface than web.

He’s widely unpopular in the UK because he’s very politically involved via the massive amount of lobbying efforts he personally funds; something that the crown specifically promised not to do. Then there’s Charles’ hush money payments to cover up Prince Andrew’s “indiscretions” with their family friend, Jeffrey Epstein.

There are other types of batteries that don’t involve volatiles, like water batteries or metal-air batteries.

I think part of that is how many echo chamber instances have defederated from each other.

It’s actually a “test things first and have a proper change control process” thing. Doesn’t matter if it’s open source, closed source scummy bullshit or even coded by God: you always test it first before hitting deploy.

Yeah, I totally get that, but how are there FOSS applications on iOS that aren’t side loaded? At best you can get paid ports/skins of open source software through the app store, but Apple changes developers a small fortune to put apps in the store, which generally equates to no free apps that don’t rely on ads or in-app purchases.

Please excuse my non-iOS using ignorance, but isn’t FOSS antithetical to Apple’s closed ecosystem and extreme limitations on side-loading?

Keywords there are ‘old Android’. I haven’t had a phone do that classic android slowdown in years.

Report it to HR and ignore both of them, or if you really feel a need to make an effort to communicate with either of them, respond from your professional email and say, “I would prefer if we keep our interactions professional” and leave it at that.

If that’s not enough of a hint for them, you definitely need to escalate with HR.
