All praise to the machine spirit

In case you want to get prog (or any other Anti Androgen) for better I highly recommend getting your levels checked beforehand. Ideally you should have T levels in the range of <50 ng/ml. If this isnt the case you can either increase your dose or use an Anti androgen

Ah, than I got some stuff mixed.

That’s the funny thing, it goes quite well for some time and then you accidentally completely brick your system.

Doesn’t have to be and in stories its absolutely boring. The wheel of time has a quite great example of a hero that is far from being perfect. The main character has to save the world but due to him being the chosen one he develops quite the superiority complex and becomes arrogant (which is also because kings bow before him) this inner conflict of being absolutely flawed and his duty to save the world largely contributes to the storyline being literally the best book I have ever read. I can only recommend it (but be aware, the whole story is 11.000 pages long)

Damn, that’s one hell of a learning curve. I struggled with doing the most basic stuff on Linux Mint. Theres no way I would have been able to handle arch as my first install.

The thing with Windows 11 Hardware requirements isnt that its poorly optimised (tbf, it is poorly optimised, but computers that have the power to run it can’t) but because windows 11 requires your CPU to have TPM(? Im Not sure), which only newer CPUs have. So even if your PC could run it, it can’t due to the TPM Requirement.

Since you are already using arch I guess you kinda know what youre doing so you should be fine.

You said, “no one spoke with me about it ever.” If you don’t have trans friends in your life yet, go find some at those organizations you mentioned.

Maybe should have clarified it. I do have trans friends (and also had before my egg cracking), but being trans was literally never a topic we talked about.

Thankfully I have my own place for university, so I dont have to worry that they are finding my Hormones.

best is the grassroots ones organised by trans people themselves! They got experience.

Not in the US, and they dont speak english that well, but I just sent out the E-Mail to one of those organisations.

And of course thank you for your kind words.

Newpipe works just fine (Germany)

That’s actually a very good joke.

Youre right, but each of us as an individual only has limited options. If politicians and billionaires dont want to take on climate change we sadly can’t do that much against it (except trying to influence politicians as a collective).

And its of course always a matter of money. If I dont have the money for a more climate friendly lifestyle, theres not that much you can do about it.

You completely missed my point. I actively try to reduce my carbon footprint, but I will not jump through 16 extra hoops to save a tiny fraction of CO2, while Taylor swift fly’s to fucking space. You can not blame the entirety of climate change onto the single individual. Change is especially needed in terms of abolishing billionaires and it also has to come from the politics.

An example: In my hometown village there is basically zero public transit. There is some usable, but its main use is for people who aren’t in a rush and dont have that much other things that might interfere. If I want to drive to the next city without using a car it takes me about 1h, which includes about 10 minutes with riding your bike to the next village. This bus drives every two hours so a trip to the next city to do some stuff takes at least 2-3 hours and depending on what you have/want to do there it can quickly become a 4-5 hour trip. Under these circumstances I Am usually going to drive there by car (which takes about 20-25 minutes). Does it emit more CO2? Of course it does. Can I easily sacrifice 3-5 hours for something that can be done in 1-2? Usually not.

While This is true, always remember that each single one of us only has a small impact and you shouldn’t feel guilty for not being able to do everything while billionaires fly with private jets.

Sell me this pen.

Here WE have our latest advancements in manufacturing pens all combined in this new masterpiece. Made from the highest quality materials we could find this pen is made for those who need equipment capable of withstanding all weather conditions. This pen is not for those who worry about getting their hands dirty, its made for the explorers of our world, those who have a desire to advance humanity and are not afraid to go through hell for it and their mission should not fail because of some bad quality products. For just 10.99€ you too can become part of our global movement to advance humanity beyond its limits.

Writing this felt horrible.

I have pretty much the same experience. It was especially bad in times where my mental state has been worse. You always have to remember, that its ok to take it slow and remind yourself about the things you did (as example: Bought youre first skirt, got some underwear, painted your nails for the first time, went out in Girl mode for the first time). I can also only recommend starting a diary. It really helps to be able to tell all the things you feel (and if its just a book). It can also serve you as a record you did and create a record for if you feel down a lot.

I second this. I would not recommend it, but getting stoned sometimes helps for Dysphoria. You should stay away from Drugs as a stopper for Dysphoria due to a bigger potential for addiction

As I already stated, AI is my last resort. If something doesn’t work because it has a logical flaw googeling won’t save me. So of course I debug it first, but if I get an Error I have no clue where it comes from no amount of debugging will fix the problem, because probably the Error occurred because I do not know better. I Am not that good of a coder and I Am still learning a lot on a regular basis. And for people like me AI is in fact quite usefull. It has basically become the replacement to pasting your code and Error into stack overflow (which doesn’t even work for since I always get IP banned when trying to sign up)

You can use AI to generate code, but from my experience its quite literally what you said. However, what I have to admit is, that its quite good at finding mistakes in your code. This is especially useful, when you dont have that much experience and are still learning. Copy paste relevant code and ask why its not working and in quite a lot of cases you get an explanation what is not working and why it isn’t working. I usually try to avoid asking an AI and find an answer on google instead, but this does not guarantee an answer.
