Yeah it’s a fairly standard grift now, they point at again random trans women winning (or make them up) and say it’s not fair because obviously trans women are just dudes in wigs, and because that’s what a lot of cis people think (or at most - they know that breast implants are a thing despite the fact trans women avoid them like the plague) and they screech about muh biomechanical males and females and whatnot.

You can explain and show a million times how most trans women have lower Testosterone levels than cis women do (weak biological loose regulation vs the cold perfection of medicine) and it will do fuck all because it’s all pretense, if trans women were wizards who changed completely including genetically they’d still just wanna brand us for it.

So tiring and exhausting. All just screaming into the void. So much bloodlust. Can’t wait for the civil war at this point.

LainTrain ,

Don’t bother. The bloodlust consumes all cisoids eventually.

LainTrain ,

Yeah. I went from being a fairly progressive trans liberationist to a bit more conservative transmedicalist arguing that sports and healthcare are issues best settled by science and attempt to focus on dysphoria and the physical literal aspects of everything but even that does not work.

No matter how much evidence cis people simply do not believe you, no matter what you say: trans women = bio men or maybe have even more testosterone and thus muscle mass, no matter what they think everyone transitioned because trauma or some psychological social bullshit they made up in their stupid fucking battle of the sexes.

They mostly are either too evil, or too stupid to understand us and I don’t really give a shit which is which anymore. It’s not always true, but it’s a safe assumption.

And yeah I don’t want a war either ofc, but I see no other end to society in general as it is now.

We need a fucking trans-ethnostate.

LainTrain ,

Ah, because testosterone levels hugely influence muscle mass and resultant strength and performance. The longest study on the matter actually ended up with trans women having on average LESS muscle strength than cis women.

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8090355/

I don’t actually give a single shit about sports btw.

But this is a good example, this issue brings out the inherent bloodthirst many cis have towards trans people.

LainTrain , (edited )

EDIT: Now who would downvote a patient and thorough explanation evidenced with scientific data that just slightly does not align with how a cisoid imagines things work?

Most of those articles are either disingenuous, if not outright false. How? Glad you asked.

The whole issue is disingenuous to begin with. Sports is a competition of genetic freaks and is fundamentally unfair.

The reason you see black women win at athletics is also because they have more T on average lmfao.

In fact, restrictions on trans women’s T levels often end up banning black women. lgbtqnation.com/…/two-cis-black-women-banned-olym…

aclu.org/…/the-international-olympic-committee-is…

I have lower T than them btw so as a trans woman I’d actually be fine, and probably at a disadvantage to them

These are the latest rules if I’m not wrong:

iaaf.org/…/eligibility-regulations-for-female-cla…

The limit is reducing to 5 nmol/L to enter.

I have 0.5 nmol/L as a trans woman and have had this level for 10 years since my teens, because I’m trans and suppressing T and raising E is literally what medical transition is.

I’d likely have lower strength as a result and would not be able to win, no matter how much I trained.

academic.oup.com/jes/article/5/…/6241278

The reason Usain Bolt wins the run is because he’s got long legs, someone else could train all their life - and they will never win if they don’t have a bigger advantage.

I want to make this bit crystal clear:

I don’t really give a shit about sports.

If you’d like to just ban all trans people completely and fully then please do so.

But the right-wing think-tanks behind it won’t do any such thing, because then their golden goose - the wedge issue that awakens the bloodlust in the average cis person - kicking a thing in a thing - is what they’re using as a stick to beat trans people with and take our rights to healthcare (this includes minors btw) etc.

I think the truth of the matter is that trans women are seen as just blokes in wigs by the vast majority of cis people and because of weird societal shit that makes it bad, and the reality that human bodies are fairly malleable and vague is hard or undesirable to accept, therefore the easiest solution is to hate trannies, if possible while maintaining the pretense of a moral high ground ala “fairness in sports” despite the fact it’s almost a comtradiction in terms.

LainTrain ,

There isn’t one and they know it.

LainTrain ,

Yup. Quietly dismissed by so-called “skeptics” tho

LainTrain ,

The eleven paragraphs are a pretty light explanation all in all, but that’s life, shit’s pretty complicated.

Roadblocks? What are you even on about?

LainTrain , (edited )

hurr durr if you shoot Nazis that makes you as bad as the Nazis!!

Get fucked, liberal.

No justice - no peace.

LainTrain ,

I don’t hate those who hate cis people, I understand them and always have, it is hard not to hate the oppressor lol, seemingly only better and better as the years go by.

LainTrain ,

It feels great.

LainTrain ,

I don’t give a shit about bigotry or lack thereof as some moral virtue for the oppressor to espouse once we play the optics game well enough, I want my people to be safe and happy.

LainTrain , (edited )

Lolololol he won’t listen because of course he knows better: he’s cis after all, he’s heard the word hormones on television before! It’s all the same! He knows better! /s

LainTrain ,

He’s not a TERF sweetie, this is the average cisoid

LainTrain ,

Yeee anybody who bought these as an actual standalone headset is in for a rude awakening of how console gaming works and how app store monopolies and vertical integration are able to offer you prices that massively undercut the competition like this.

As always - PC games are forever, piracy is forever. My quest 2 exists to have VD on it and nothing else, and when support is discontinued if the dev keeps updating it - I’ll sideload the .APKs myself.

LainTrain ,

Woops. I’m rworded today

Thanks!

LainTrain ,

I mean he’s not a bad twitter man, he’s literally spreading white supremacy and transphobia to millions on his rigged platform, I absolutely want him to fail the same way I’d want Henry Ford to fail in his time, I’d want a horrible fate to fall on them both regardless of what engineers at their companies end up accomplishing.

I will daily drive Wayland when it becomes Xorg function equivalent e.g. functional screen capture and overlays like every other OS (so never)

LainTrain ,

Yeah. Wayland is a nightmare of accessibility and as someone privileged to be able-bodied it can be tragically easy to forget.

Hopefully this Wayland fad goes away and we have a better protocol designed from scratch soon.

LainTrain ,

Why even make Wayland in the first place? Why make a protocol that is worse in every way than it’s predecessor?

LainTrain ,

I didn’t even point out accessibility? That was a different user. You can’t even read bro talk about imagining and then spitting garbled nonsense. Go back and read everything and then I might reply seriously.

I’ve not seen Wayland ever outside of this subreddit 🤣

I’m sure distro of the month somewhere prolly implemented it but us Debian chads stay winning.

I swear this is a psyop to kill of desktop Linux. Come back when screenshotting works correctly 👌

LainTrain ,

since 2015

Why did it ever not work?

Oh it’s because the protocol forbids apps accessing the output of other apps without special support for it, so unless apps manually include support for Wayland, it will not work.

With many apps that don’t even do anything related to screenshotting or overlays - like Guake - it still does not work.

So most of my usual workflow is just broken by Wayland, productivity utterly shattered by some middleware crap and for what? Why?

Why? Why must the graphical protocol of all things break random software incl. accessibility, overlays etc.? No other OS has ever had this issue. No other OS finds it a security concern to allow apps to see other apps.

The only reason Wayland does is because it’s just terribly designed from its very conception despite the constant warnings from other Devs and users.

Oh and then there’s the Nvidia driver support…

Look at what they did with PulseAudio - now that’s the right way to do it, users don’t even know the difference except suddenly everything just works a bit better.

default

Ye I know that, this isn’t the own you think it is as the GNOME Devs lost their mind long ago in many other ways as well.

LainTrain ,

You can’t really spam massive essays while ignoring most of what was said or pretending it’s not true. When referring to GNOME Devs losing their mind I was talking about the design decisions of nu-Gnome, and you just went off talking about something being rushed?

mac os

Yeah great example to follow /s

Honestly I’m happy to give Wayland a chance when it starts working with software like Guake, but as it stands, it does not, based on currently stable versions of both from the Debian repos. Until then, it’s just a useless protocol made with extremely anal design of requiring apps to be heavily modified to support it for uhmmm no reason as the issues with xorg are minimal really.

LainTrain ,

People are desperate to be fucked I guess

LainTrain ,

Nice rare instance!

LainTrain ,

Substituting a note into a minor with this sounds nice too. I usually go for 7ths for their melancholy and 9ths for peacefulness

LainTrain ,

What would be the threshold for them to “take off”? It’s all already out, so already there no?

LainTrain ,

Which ones did you try?

LainTrain ,

Honestly i think speed is something I don’t care too much about with models, because even things like ChatGPT will be slower than Google for most things, and if something is more complex and a good use case for an LLM it’s unlikely to be the primary bottleneck.

My gf private chat bot right now is a combination of Mistral 7B with a custom finetune and she it directs some queries to ChatGPT if I ask (I got free tokens way back might as well burn through them).

How much of an improvement is Mixtral over Mistral in practice?

LainTrain , (edited )

Not to normies who are people people and love short form posts by “thought leaders” or more realistically celebrities and corpo brands (like sports teams or Taylor swift) they want to ape or consume products of.

They never visited forums and got on the internet through mobile phones and Facebook, so the format of Reddit is strange and unfamiliar to them.

It’s always been this way and it’s why twitter was/is way more popular than Reddit, the naturally pseudonymous throwaway nature of Reddit accs made it all seem too impersonal for most people.

They probably see the internet as a whole as a negative and they think everyone is just there for ads and twitter and getting their dopamine systems hijacked instead of just actually wanting to be here and getting some kind of value out of it. All protests to the contrary are only seen as proof of their own theories.

Everyone who’s interested in tech be it fediverse, cryptocurrency or godforbid AI to them must be in it to make money because no normal person is interested in anything other than people and therefore must be a musk/zucc fan and is thus branded a tech bro.

These people vote in elections.

LainTrain ,

Nah, but you can recognise that his social/political thought and language used to express that is not something you should repeat mindlessly and accept and be appreciative of criticism when its given so you can correct future behaviour to make the world a more welcoming place for all. Right?

LainTrain ,

He’s correct and the more defensive you get the more I feel like you just wanna keep using the term. This is coming from someone who didn’t know any of this and won’t use the term in the future. I can always call Zucc a robot instead 🤖

LainTrain ,

Found the norman.

LainTrain ,

Nah I’m not bigoted or 14 enough, plus that’s too normie of a website for me

LainTrain ,

Oh I believe you, you seem to be quite the expert on CSAM.

What else? Gonna call me a groomer next? ‘Terminally online’? Conservatives often end up accusing others of what they themselves are y’know.

Oh and hey there’s no need to reply any further. You are in fact free at any time to log off and touch grass.

LainTrain ,

Nice, how did that go? What did you win?

LainTrain ,

Agreed, I had the same thing happen in this very thread where some x-twitter user engaged in wilful ignorance instead of wanting to be educated on why so much of the internet is the way it is now, unlike how it used to be, and unlike what it could’ve been. I hope that person is alright and maybe touching grass now.

LainTrain ,

1994? I wasn’t even born then, that’s crazy dude. Well always happy to greet a senior citizen around here.

Just stay off Facebook for the love of god.

Is there any medicine that can give me happy hormones and does not need a doctor's prescription?

Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?

LainTrain , (edited )

Medicine is drugs.

Try 5-HTP as a supplement if you believe you have low serotonin levels for some reason. It’s a precursor to Serotonin so if there is a chemical reason your body is producing insufficient amounts then it can help, alongside L-Tyrosine which is the same thing but for dopamine. CBD supplements, if actually legitimately containing CBD can have some anxiolytic properties.

Otherwise everything else is illegal.

Sorry honey, but under capitalism you’re supposed to buy worthless shit to stave off the alienation and misery and uhh like drugs are bad m’kay. Go get into K-Pop or “Gadgets” instead, heard there’s some hot spicy influencer drama in these! Lotta ads to watch! And remember: Don’t think, just buy product and get excited for the next product.

You might consider an MDMA, DMT or LSD trip to figure out why you’re unhappy.

Do not buy drugs on the street, they are shit quality for shitty prices, you will get ripped off. Don’t buy from DNMs overseas, customs do not fuck around. In UK/West EU order to home as normal, in US order to non-home mailboxes, in East EU order to dead drops. Make sure to research how to stay safe, what markets to use, how to get Monero and how to use PGP and maybe Tails depending on OpSec risk appetite, I think Dread (ddg it with tor!) has a few guides for this.

EDIT: Make sure to set Tor to safest to disable JavaScript, you won’t need it and it only creates threats.

Go for lower dosages and make sure to get powder for MDMA, it should be light brown in colour. Test it! MDMA is part stim, part empathogen.

For DMT: get a proper high end vape tank DMT vape with a 510 off a respected seller on a DNM and buy a proper mod - don’t buy the crappy eGO style tanks/“carts”. DMT is a pure psych, very shroom-esque but without the shroom common side effects like diarrhea and uncontrollable vomiting and lasts only 15 mins.

For LSD make sure to take some time off work or do it when you won’t be disturbed in general, preferably for at least 48 hours, as a trip can last 12-16. I’d go for 100ug - tabs are often under dosed so go if brave go for 120ug, don’t buy tabs with overly elaborate art as that can be a sign that more effort went into the marketing than anything else, but make sure to get a test kit to make sure it’s not NBOME, that drug is nice as well but it’s not LSD and vendors don’t dose it properly which can kill you.

Other than psychs: Amphetamine and/or nicotine will make you happy generally, but unless you have ADHD the effect may be too negligible to be worth it.

If your source of unhappiness is anxiety then you can take an anxiolytic like a benzodiazepine. Do not do that.

There’s also Alcohol and Opioids but these barely do anything honestly when it comes to actual happiness. I would not do THC in an unhappy state, it’s like 75% anxiety and hunger.

Or you can try therapy, but that shit never worked for me, turns out the world is just shit and my life was shit as a result, taking drugs helped/helps me cope with that and I try to improve my material circumstances as much as possible, I’ve never really had mental health issues though I just had shit mental health due to my material conditions so YMMV and GL, the first step to fixing an issue is identifying there is an issue. Try to identify what the issue is next.

DNM - Dark Net Market. A marketplace that is accessible exclusively via onion routing with an .onion domain, via the Tor browser.

Silk Road, Dream, Empire, Wall Street, Nightmare and ASAP were some of the major ones in the past.

DDG - DuckDuckGo. A search engine that is alternative to Google. It can be useful for searching for information regarding this stuff via tor (and is the one in use by default via it’s .onion domain in the tor browser).

Shrooms are cool and lots of people love them, but I don’t because it never sits well with my body, it always gives me stomach problems ranging from light nausea and stomachache to very gross stuff like vomiting, not something i want to experience in an already vulnerable psychological state.

LainTrain ,

That’s fair, you do you.

LainTrain ,

The only people left there actually engaging and not just checking out funny vids on their phone are drones, corpo bootlickers and scammers anyway lol

LainTrain ,

Oh I’m not saying they aren’t, I’m just saying they’re corpo bootlickers who probably don’t have ublock installed because they think piracy is wrong or some shit and I’d never want to be around them anyway

How does data sent over the internet know where to go?

I saw a map of undersea internet cables the other day and it’s crazy how many branches there are. It got me wondering - if I’m (based in the UK) playing an online game from someone in Japan for example, how is the route worked out? Does my ISP know that to get to place X, the data has to be routed via cable 1, cable 2 etc....

LainTrain ,

I’d like to know this as well actually but on a physical level, i understand the TCP/IP stack well enough, but what is the circuitry that actually sends the light down the correct cable?

LainTrain ,

IPs and packets are well and good and I do have a decent working knowledge of TCP/IP, but what physically is actually happening? Thanks for replying anyway!

LainTrain ,

Fair! Thanks

LainTrain , (edited )

But surely that can’t really be true either like if I post a selfie on Instagram in London, some guy’s Minecraft server in Minnesota can’t be receiving that and be like “oh not for me - ignore”. It just seems horribly inefficient. But maybe I’m having trouble conceptualising how fast light is? 😅

And based on another answer ITT by FuglyDuck, it would seem that once you’ve resolved a domain you do send it to a central hub that then resolves subnets until it gets to it’s destination, so I can imagine that it does so by physically sending it down “the right cable” as it gets past each layer to get to the final destination via the recepient’s ISP, but imagining it as a giant automated telephone switchboard is all my feeble software brain can comprehend it as and that doesn’t seem right either.

~~Edit: well actually network switches do operate on the data link layer, but also not on the physical one?

I guess what I’m trying to say is: if I’m sending a packet to Japan from the UK - once my packet reaches a hub of a first tier ISP, does it just go down every oceanic cable in every direction, or the one that actually is in the direction of Japan?~~

The answer is that yes - the internet is just a telephone switchboard between what amounts to otherwise isolated networks of ISPs and exchange points physically send light down correct cables with switches:
