Our stovetop is having issues and I’d had a similar thought, so I’m hanging out to hear people’s reckons on this too!
This statement is an interesting one - we absolutely need to be pushing large companies to reduce their emissions, because they have a huge ge impact. But you’re on the money here - here’s a really good write up about it, but that stat includes “use of sold product” in its emissions - aka us using those companies’ products. We’ve got a huge part to play here - climate action requires both pushing for corporate responsibility as well as individual changes.
Absolutely - but please feel free to share some of her posts yourself, @skymtf@pricefield.org!
This is really interesting to read, thank you! I work in medical education, specifically around gender diversity - so knew a lot of this but not the detail you’ve shared here, so thanks!
Practically speaking - the questions OP mentioned doctors asked are also just the best ways to provide the best care we can. So often we use the sex marker on someone’s file as a shortcut to the kind of care they need, but there are obviously so many exceptions to those rules, and not just for trans and non-binary folks. One of the biggest questions I get asked is about differing care and needs based on sex, and it’s actually so easy - just treat the person in front of you like a whole, individual person, rather than a sex maker on a file.
I think this is what I came here to say, too! Bags of MSG are soooo cheap, I have a tiny jar of it next to my oven and it’s so satisfying and so much fun to taste what you’re cooking before and after adding a sprinkle of MSG. Amazing difference!
I’ve learnt to add umami in lots of other ways, but for some recipes, msg really is a good hit.
Butterflied roast chicken was the single recipe from Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat that really nailed home so many of the lessons for me - especially about seasoning your meat overnight! Amazing what a difference it makes - one of my fave easy cooks now!
I think it’s less to do with the traits themselves and more to do with the person and how they’re perceived. As other people have said - people get more of a significant impact from role models they can identify with or look like them. There’s so much room for role models of all types, but if we’re thinking about masculinity specifically, so many young men and boys only have masculine folk in their lives who, for example, don’t share their emotions - and this pattern affirms the idea that it’s not ‘manly’ to be vulnerable.
More people who express themselves in a ‘masculine’ way modeling these positive traits show other people with similar identities and expressions that it’s possible (and good) for them to do it, too.
This is great advice! I also think there’s a huge difference in being stealth by choice and stealth by necessity. Making an active choice in this can be great for your wellbeing - the difference between feeling empowered to do this and being required to do it.
I’d recommend being open to letting trusted people in - one of the biggest struggles of going stealth is the isolation and worry about being outed, and having even one person you can share about this with will make the world of difference.
Congratulations! I’m so pleased for you!
Oh my god - thanks so much for this! I’m in Aotearoa and this has been on my radar for the last five years, but I’ve never been able to find a copy!
Absolutely try some function key combos - I did something similar this week by setting my keyboard to “ma” and not “mao” this week and got an Arabic script instead of te reo Māori and all of a sudden none of my keybinds worked, but hitting fn+alt+f2 got me to a tty and saved me.
I’ve been using it for the last week and really enjoy it - I’m on an m1 air and asahi is so much snappier than macOS, which is saying something because it still sings!
There’s a few key hardware features still missing - mic, speaker, and the thunderbolt port (so hdmi and external displays) that are preventing me from driving it fully because I do a lot of presentations at work, but it’s quick enough to boot into mac when I need to.
Occasionally there’s something that doesn’t want to run on arm architecture, but there’s usually an alternative - and it sounds like 4k paging is close.
Give it a shot! I’m invested cos I wanna hear more people’s take on it 😅
Oh yeah that’s a good idea actually - I use fastmail too and I don’t mind its UI, but I guess I could also play with its css to make some changes!
This is great, thank you - I’ve been leaning towards mutt or neomutt, but this looks like a great solution!

Can someone point me where to find information on how to centre that right window like that? Is it a floating window? I have so many programs that make more sense to me to not take the full height of the column!
Kia ora!
I've recently set up asahi linux on my macbook - it's been probably 10 years since I last seriously spent time using linux, so I'm real out of the loop! I've been playing with hyprland and really enjoy it - its approach to window management and productivity is feeling really instinctual, which I love.
With that in mind, I'm on the hunt for email clients on linux - I'm open to trying a good few, because email is my bugbear and I'm invested in finding something that really works. Something that makes it easy to process them would be great - and if it's customisable in terms of looks, even better!
Jump in the matrix room if you haven’t already - lots of good wisdom in there! I used Caddy which was real straightforward.
I set up conduit recently after struggling with dendrite and it’s been great - the conduit matrix room is super supportive, too. Real lightweight - I have conduit and bridges for instagram, messenger, signal, and irc all running on the same cheap hetzner vm.
I had a similar experience recently - picked up Pulsar because I was getting uncomfortable with VSCode’s telemetry. Found it a bit tricky to config, and then had trouble with atom packages that obviously haven’t been updated for a few years now that are a bit out of date. Switched to vscodium instead!

I’m still working my way through this but thought I’d share - this is a great breakdown of a recent trend on TikTok - framed as not being too nice or not being a people pleaser. This analysis takes a critical approach to this in a real sensitive way, and talks about our philosophical obligations to others - and what we owe to each other (shout out to other good place fans!)
Listen now (25 mins) | Hipkins rules out wealth tax for his time as PM after ditching plans in Budget for a revenue-neutral wealth tax on the top 0.5% to pay for a $20/week tax cut for bottom 99.5% because...just because.
![So this is how the story ends](https://lemmy.nz/pictrs/image/9f7947d3-1d46-412f-a8fd-50cdd13b5397.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
Absolutely great read from Bernard Hickey on Hipkins' wealth tax announcement and the treasury report released yesterday:
> That’s it. It will now be almost impossible for a wealth or capital gains tax to be implemented within the next decade or two.
> The future of Aotearoa’s political economy will now remain frozen in its stagnant, unequal, unjust, unproductive and unhealthy state for the forseeable future. That’s what our leaders, and ultimately the only voters that matter, have decided. Those hoping to change that frozen landscape should now look after themselves and their families, and/or hope and work for an electoral miracle that gives parties who want such taxes dominant positions in any post-election negotiation.
I’ve just set up a matrix homeserver after the one I was using ran into a few issues. I’m looking forward to setting up some bridges and bringing a few chats into one place, but I also know there’s so much you can do in the way of extensibility and integrations. I’ve had a read around but would love to hear from anyone who’s using matrix for anything neat and nifty!
Kia ora!
I've been an ios user for 100 years at this point, but used to be deep in the android scene before then. I've just got an android for a work phone and am wondering what's changed in the last 10 years - what are your essential apps, settings, customisations? I've had a hunt around xda but can't seem to find much in the way of roms for my model (Samsung A04) - back in the day it seemed there was a thread for every device!
What do I need to know?
Kia ora! My name's Jen - my pronouns are she/her, and I'm a queer and trans artist and advocate living in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand. So pleased to introduce myself as a new mod for this community!
In my day job, I work for a rainbow social service, organising an in-person community - pleased to do what I can for this community, too!
