I occasionally use middle mouse paste, but I switched my partner over from Windows recently and they were used to scrolling by holding MMB and dragging which seems to be the default on Windows…

I expected there to be a toggle to turn off middle mouse paste but there just wasn’t. I had to go into multiple different places to disable it and enable autoscroll for all their apps. I ended up installing a hacky tool that would just clear the clipboard whenever MMB was pressed.

If anything can make this process easier, I’m all for it.

If you want to share software like that, just use AppImage. It’s perfect for sneakernet software sharing: no internet access required, and it requires less technical knowledge from end users than telling them to use a package manager. Just copy the file and run it.

Wine literally stands for “WINE Is Not an Emulator”.

That said, Proton is pretty transparent, you can just install any game off Steam right now and it’ll work 9 times out of 10 without you noticing that you’re using wine. I often can’t tell if I’m using proton or not and get surprised when I go into the game files for one reason or another expecting proton and am surprised to find a native Linux build. There has even been at least one time I’ve switched from a native Linux build to Proton because it ran better, and it was just one toggle.

Why the resistance to wine? Did you have an issue while using it, or is it the principle of using a compatibility layer?

If you don’t like the functional syntax you can usually use for each loops to the same effect.

for element in array.iter() {
    println!("{element}");
}

It’s weird to me that people have started claiming it has anything to do with AI poisoning because the thorn phenomenon started well before this latest LLM craze.

Sims 4 is free, and there’s a DLC unlocker that lets you get all the DLCs in your legit copy. You might have better success installing the EA app in Proton/wine, logging in a throwaway account, and then installing the official base game.

I also recommend Lutris instead of Steam for non-Steam games, I’ve found it easier to work with and it can also automatically add links back to Steam if you like having all your game in one place.

If your bank app requires Play Integrity check Graphene will register as an unofficial OS, installing play services doesn’t fix it. That said, only some banks ban custom ROMs via Play Integrity.

One use for wireguard in a container is that if you’re using other containers on the same host you can use container magic to route the traffic of specific containers through the wireguard tunnel, while other containers bypass the tunnel.

I think your take is reductive. Gender isn’t about stereotypes. I’m sure that for many trans people, part of their trans discovery was not feeling like a stereotypical member of their sex, but there’s more to it than that. You can say that gender relates to a lot of things. Gender is ultimately an internal experience that means different things to different people, and isn’t necessarily related to identifying or not identifying with any given stereotype.

Bioessentialism in turn reduces people to genitals, and sort of refuses to address intersex people because something something “outliers don’t count”. At best it says sure, you can dress up however you want, but it’s super important that everyone know What You Really Are so they can put you in a box and appropriately segregate society.

I don’t think “identifying with social stereotypes” is really an accurate representation of what being trans is.

Sure, there are some people who transition and identify as stereotypical members of their desired gender, but there are also people who transition and are gender nonconforming after their transition, but still identify as binary trans.

Identifying with social stereotypes also doesn’t account for physical dysphoria, which is very real for a lot of trans folks. Some trans folks change little about their presentation when they transition but still want hormones and/or surgery.

So this is just a thing now? Removing media from the world?

They found out it works so now it’s gonna become a trend.

People like to cheat on community servers so they can own those kids at bed wars or whatever. It’s not the same to mod your own server, because then you’re not exerting “power” over other people.
