That’s the sad thing here—puberty blockers give kids, their families, and their healthcare provider time to figure things out before the permanent changes of a dysphoric puberty.
And puberty blockers have been used for decades for cis-kids without any controversy—but for trans kids—apparently that’s a bridge too far.
The Cass report found exactly what it was commissioned to find, and misrepresents the research.
The science is clear, gender-affirming care saves lives.
Today I got notice on Facebook that several of my posts from last year were removed for violating community standards on cybersecurity—they were all links to articles from The Reflector.
Idle question. I've always heard that you need to prick the skins before baking a potato. The potential consequence for failure to do so is a catastrophic potato explosion....

So as the title says, I run a homelab with various technologies — Proxmox, Home Assistant, a reverse proxy, lots of Ubiquiti equipment, and so on. Over the years I’ve consumed countless hours of articles, stack overflow posts, youtube channels, and knowledge bases to keep myself up to speed on how to use this equipment and...

I always write up my own guide as I'm going in case I need to recreate it. Some of those I write up and post on my own website in case anyone else needs it in the future. Still, sometimes I'm not really sure what finally fixed the problem (e.g., I had a weird issue between CloudFlare and DEVONthink Server that finally resolved but is ridiculously easy to break--and I'm still not sure why the "solution" works...).

For the last 39 years, PostScript has been at the heart of the Mac, bringing desktop publishing, fonts, and the LaserWriter and other printers. It has been removed from Sonoma.
Wow…I hadn’t realized this was coming (or rather growing)—the last software I used that needed Postscript support was the Apple IIgs emulator Sweet 16 (the emulators print driver created a Postscript file on the host OS for printing)…but that’s been a few years.
I stopped using wired headsets loooong before they started taking them off...my HP iPaq had Bluetooth and my iPod didn't--that's when I bought my first Bluetooth headset.
Been using “Whisk” for a while but they were bought by Samsung and have been slowly going down hill. Any good iOS apps for recipes? I hear good things about Paprika but not sure if it’s worth it…...
I'm a HUGE 1Password fan--and have been for years. It is always the very first app I install on any device. Paid for every upgrade since v4 when I discovered it.
I was sceptical of the switch to Electron, but it's just the front end. The backend is written in Rust and performance has been great. It's not native, but that's a current trend right now...
I was even sold on the subscription model, and now manage a family account for my wife and kids.
