@intengineering Bothers me when people use the word theory in place of hypothesis or conjecture with respect to science.
#peertube Today I upgraded FBXL Video to Peertube 4.0.0, the new release.
It failed to upgrade, complaining about the node version which was at v15. I used the following to upgrade it to v16 and the upgrade was perfect.
$ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_16.x | sudo -E bash -
$ sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

@OvaryActing @mushroom_soup @yes Made me think, and I think you're reducing some complexity a bit too much with the sound bite. (Mostly working through ideas with this post, hence tl;dr)
Sort of seems like people falling for the sorting trick the human brain uses. It's a simple logical fallacy, "Some [X] are [Y], some [Z] are [Y], therefore all [X] are [Z] and vice versa"... Reminds me of the classic George W. Bush "Everything is either freedom or terror" mindless simplification. "Oh, you have something a little outside gender norms? That's Trans. If it isn't, then it's Transphobic!"
Under the conservative vision, if you aren't matched between your behavior and your biology (or alternatively your generally biologically derived gender identity), they claim you need to correct the mismatch by changing your behavior.
Under the....whatever this is.... vision, if you aren't matched between your behavior and your biology, then you need to correct the mismatch by changing your biology (or at least your biologically derived gender identity).
I guess to an extent you could make the argument that both are saying the same thing and it's a relatively minor difference conceptually in what they say as a consequence, but in practice I'd say it's a pretty major difference, particularly if you start using drugs and surgery to finalize the change.
The problem with both ideologies in my view is saying that you necessarily need to stop the mismatch. If you're a guy who isn't entirely stereotypically male or a lady who isn't entirely stereotypically female or a guy who is extremely stereotypically male or a lady who is extremely stereotypically female or anywhere in between, that by itself isn't enough to justify saying you secretly were or were not one or the other thing by itself. Behavior and identity are related but if they are not the same then that's not necessarily a problem to be solved.
There's also some really strange all or nothing ideas going on with that. Like, if you on the balance have too many stereotypically atypical behaviors for your gender then you need to flip the script and embrace the stereotype of the opposing gender, even if you don't feel like the opposing gender in any way. You can end up with the fallacious "You don't mind doing dishes and mopping the floor, chop your dick off." which it should be self-evident that such a statement is insane.
Then there's the problems with stereotypes not being set in stone. Over time norms change, and if they're this elastic then how do you use them as a tool to determine identity? Even across one or two generations the roles of a husband and wife living a trad life change.
Sort of seems like someone trying to social proof their decisions to validate them. "Oh, it turns out these people (Who are not like me in reality) actually were the same as me all along, so everyone's doing it so I decided right!"
I don't think I've got everything fully pieced together here yet mind you.

@eff We don't need new laws, we need a new attitude.
When your boyfriend beats you up, you don't make a new rule saying he doesn't get to beat you up anymore. You leave him and don't come back!
If half of the people complaining about big tech censorship deleted their accounts and moved to free platforms, big tech censorship wouldn't be a problem anymore.

2000: Gender norms are created by society rather than biological determinism
2020: If you don't follow gender norms you need to be surgically modified because gender norms are created by biological determinism and if you aren't following your gender norms you need your biology changed to match your gender norm behaviour

@TechNews because we defeated the Nazis in world war ii, and we were supposed to be free.
Obviously at some point we lost our way.

@Jkid Isn't the rule "No dancing" literally the stereotype of the uptight old people?
"I'll literally die of covid if you maniacs dance!"
"I'll literally die of covid if you maniacs dance!"
@Jkid The adversity and exclusion crowd need to reduce their carbon footprint by jumping into the nearest lake and not coming up for air.
@TechNews Ironically, most of the main manufacturers are doing their very best to disqualify themselves from the running for me.

@raz0rfist Using the tradwife to explain why men might want women while simultaneously trying to eliminate and shame out of existence the tradwife is bizarre.
@zerohedge Next, at China's behest they'll fire all the darkies since China's government is explicitly racist against blacks.

Well, that was mostly a fail, the memory I purchased didn't work, and the 5TB hard drive didn't work, but the SSD did work. The SSD alone seems to have significantly improved server loads and IOWaits, and I'm currently working on a plan to use a multi-terrabyte USB hard drive for my personal nextcloud and FBXL Video that should give me enough space to treat those services as unlimited.
I'm also in the process of moving FBXL Invidious and FBXL Search to a dedicated machine, which I expect will help reduce the amount of memory in use on the main server which should help everything in general.
You don't realize how much you need all these services until you've got them down!!!

@tpostmillennial tbf, inflation and deficit is a pig he's put lipstick on and fucked, just like most Republicans.
@NEETzsche people believe that whites are superior can never match the left. The left has literally redefined whiteness as having any redeeming characteristics whatsoever. If you have any redeeming characteristics whatsoever, you are part of the new "multiracial whiteness". At that point, everything is white supremacy because having any redeeming characteristic whatsoever does make you better than people who have no redeeming characteristics whatsoever. It's racism on a level that nobody who simply judges People based on race could ever achieve. It's like 16 times the racism.
Straight white men need to accept that their time has passed. The new Megathem movie starring an all-black all-trans cast is going to be huge.
