Offline hours? Is that something that happens often enough to need a work around?

A meme is by definition a repost though. The reuse is literally what makes it a meme.

Kinda? My bare bones initial self hosted media streaming setup was put together by my partner. It’s no longer bare bones, because I’ve since upgraded it, added new functionality and I keep it going.

That’s an upside, be because it makes them easy to block

I much prefer clip ons to transitions. Transitions left me with white circles over my eyes in summer, when every other part of my face tanned except where the glasses sat. I also couldn’t turn them off when needed.

I use digikam with sidecar files on my main photo editing PC.

We sync this directory with a media server on the local network that enables all of the local devices to access the photos and tags. In theory, it means we could run digikam on another device as well, and sync data between them via updates to the sidecar files, but in practice, we don’t do this and the media server is effectively read only.

Then, we sync the media server images with a photoprism instance that we have running on external hosting. Photoprism recognises the keywords and sidecar data from digikam, which lets me search and access the images from anywhere.

Why do right-wingers say that minorities must create their own stories if they are going to complain in the same way?

Because their goal is to stoke fear, outrage and exclusion. Their words are just tools to achieve that. The actual words are mostly irrelevant

If someone does transphobia, I instance ban them whether or not they did transphobia in one of my communities.

Yep. Conservative opinions are definitely becoming more common across lemmy… I’ve had so many "I’m not transphobic, but… <insert transphobia>’ type comments to moderate in the last few weeks

Government drones aren’t real!

It’s been dealt with on our end, but as this community isn’t hosted on blahaj.zone, I can’t federate the removal. A community mod will still need to action it to federate the removal to other instances

I divested myself of Twitter a couple of years ago (which is how I ended up on the fediverse in the first place) and then in the last 18 months or so, Reddit, Facebook and Discord have all been given the boot too (and for a bonus, Windows as well)

I’ve found replacements for all of them in self hosted and/or community ran alternatives. It’s quieter, and missing content, yet at the same time, it’s far more personal than the sites I left behind. In many ways, it feels like the old IRC days, with smaller communities, but where people knew each other somewhat.

I wish they were a bit more active, and that some of the niche stuff existed, but at the same time, I feel quite at home with my alternatives, rather than lost.

Probably because english isn’t their native language.

“Has a future” in this context means “Streaming media without explicit ownership rights will continue to be here/relevant in to the future, unlike the idea of ‘owning’ digital media”

And this is why you were banned. You posted bullshit. And when trans people explain why it’s a problem, you tell them that no, actually, they’re wrong, and that you, the person who isn’t trans, knows how they should feel.

Cheers!

Does this not address the federation issue that is causing some instances to fall ever further behind lemmy.world?

Maybe its regional or cultural but the FTM trans I know well wouldn’t object to being referred to or lumped in with pregnant women on a general basis and if they did they are fully capable of correcting those refering to them with whatever term suits them.

Cool. Whatever works for them.

But it’s worth being aware that as you’re not trans yourself, the whole “I have trans friends who are ok with this behaviour many trans people feel is problematic” just sounds like the same excuses bigots have used over the years. “I have black/trans/female friends who are ok with <insert problematic topic>”.

Secondly, even if you are accurately representing their perspective, no one is taking away anyones right to identify with whatever terms best work for them. The issue is not pushing terms on to others who don’t want them.

Your friends can identify with pregnant women all they like, but it becomes an issue when trans men who don’t share that stance get told that they’re the problem

I have a couple of married friends. Both trans guys. They tried to adopt, and their options for surrogacy all fell through. So one of them carried their daughter. He didn’t want to do it, but they were out of other options, so he did.

He wasn’t “female whilst pregnant”. He wasn’t a mum, a mum to be, a pregnant woman, or any other term like that. He was a pregnant man, or when needed for clarity, a pregnant transgender man.

I’d ban you too, in a heartbeat, if you brought any of that bullshit in to a trans or queer sub that I moderate.

You having a trans kid doesn’t give you permission to walk all over the voices and experiences of trans people trying to navigate pregnancy

More people regret cancer surgery than regret transition, but I’m going to take a stab in the dark that you’re not out there questioning whether we should be concerned about people accessing cancer care…
