@rallias (As there seem to be many ways to do virtual network devices, for example)
@rallias Do you happen to know which non-Docker tools and/or options this would (broadly) correspond to?

I came out as trans very late, in my late forties, and for various reasons have not medically transitioned. Yet I think about it a lot. I am tall (183 cm) have really broad shoulders, and basically have the kind of body cisgender dudes and maybe trans masc guys consider ideal. I am nearly sixty, but thinking about HRT, facial feminization surgery, and top surgery. So this is a question for trans women who start medically transitioning in their sixties (or later!). How has it been, and is it worth it? I would be grateful if you could share your experiences with me. Also feel free to respond if you are a trans woman 60 or older who has not medically transitioned and have thoughts on the subject. #transgender #hrt #trans
@rune So funnily, I've also been looking at Docker/Kubernetes docs to see if I can find any crumbs there to point me in the right direction, but everything is very Branded(tm) and I am having difficulty figuring out what it actually does under the hood...
This feels like an ops nightmare to be honest
It's annoyingly difficult to find good, comprehensive resources about container network security...

Frankie Bontemps, a second generation Chagossian in the UK, told the BBC that he felt “betrayed” and “angry” at the news because “Chagossians have never been involved” in the negotiations.
“We remain powerless and voiceless in determining our own future and the future of our homeland”, he said, and called for the full inclusion of Chagossians in drafting the treaty.

We absolutely need more games that let players play as *creatures*.
Monstrosities, abominations, critters, elder gods, entities, the whole thing.
@silvermoon82 @donnodubus @festal I wonder if this is going to be one of those cases where an organization assumes "oh we can deal with that, we have the volunteer capacity" and then goes surprised pikachu face when said volunteers jump ship entirely because they never signed up for this

Wikipedia now needs to have a "WikiProject AI Cleanup". They should send Sam Altman a massive bill for all their extra, unnecessary work.
I wouldn't be surprised if, on balance, cleaning up after Generative AI produced more cost than using Generative AI ever saved. Unfortunately, probably not for the same people.

> This is something that is hardwired into the technology. The more unusual a cultural feature is, the less likely it is to feature prominently in a large model’s representation of the culture.
Turns out that declarative containers are implemented as a pile of bash: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/635c7ea3298176e57716e88ed3d820ce66766c91/nixos/modules/virtualisation/nixos-containers.nix
Which, in hindsight, I should've seen coming.
@wgahnagl I can't speak for others of course, but any time I've tried to communicate "I'm offended" to someone who wasn't at least vaguely leftist or in that ideological ballpark, it has basically resulted in a response of "well you should just ignore me then" and considering the case closed on their end 😐
I wonder if this can explain the "people not saying they're offended" more broadly
I have found something where the NixOS manual is the most accessible and readable of any resources I've found: declarative containers!
re: money, 🥴
@tastytea@very.tastytea.de Also fuck Klarna with a rake
re: money, 🥴
@tastytea@very.tastytea.de If you have a copy in writing of having proposed that (ideally letter, e-mail would probably also be fine in NL but idk about there) then that *should* serve as pretty strong evidence to make debt collectors fuck off, but it's never a guarantee unfortunately :( If there's some kind of free legal help thing where you are, it may be worth asking them for better advice on the legal angle
re: money, 🥴
@tastytea@very.tastytea.de If I remember correctly, Klarna is a predatory business and they literally get their money from fees tacked onto late payments and defaults, so they have every reason not to cooperate, unfortunately - the only strategy I know of that has sometimes worked for people is to offer them a clearly reasonable payment schedule and have it in writing, so that when they reject or ignore it you can fight any attempts at debt/fee collection later by showing that it was Klarna who did not take their responsibilities - "look, I did all I could, but they did not let me pay"
@silvermoon82 I have done something like this a long, *long* time ago: https://github.com/joepie91/wpcom-to-jekyll - it takes an export XML from wordpress.com and turns it into a set of Jekyll files (which are basically just Markdown files with some metadata/structure).
I have no idea if it still works though.

ah, money, that thing your evil employer gives you just enough of that you can't imagine a less evil organization being able to employ you without a significant reduction in pay

resources for how to be successful as a gamedev always say shit like
- don't forget to do any marketing! (contact press and video creators)
- don't forget to put up a steam page to have wishlists
- don't leave your trailer and contacting trailer editors til the last week
and like yeah if you make those kinds of mistakes you will almost certainly not be successful but this is less a roadmap for success and more "how to not ruin your chances before you even get started"
@eniko I feel like it's probably subject to the same issue as almost every other "how to be successful at anything" guide; people have difficulty recognizing the role that luck and other factors like privilege played in their success and would much rather believe that it somehow entirely resulted from their own competence and actions, than to acknowledge that really the "common" (read: capitalist) notion of "success" is ultimately just a lottery no matter what you do
