Has anyone else been trying to break their reddit-era habit of downvoting?
  • Exactly, and I think that there's even more downsides as well to strictly comment level disagreement. There's never any point engaging with bigoted posts. Replies just draw more attention and make you more angry. Better to just downvote, report, and move on without spending too much emotional energy trying to bicker and squabble for a while thread.

    There's just an emotional inequity when it comes to a debate between, for example, a transphobe and a trans person. A transphobe likely knows everything they say can be bullshit - they don't have to stick to reason. The whole point is just a rhetorical exercise where the cruelty and sadism is the point.

    The trans person tho has to stick to researching the dsm v or guidances from credible medical institutions and respond with effort posts and Yada Yada. Everyone's eyes glaze over and the end result is the trans person is exhausted and feels worse about their life.

    Downvote and move on is just a means of reduction of digital self harm. I find it bad to not have it for cases like that, especially on communities where mods aren't as caring about bigotry. To leave it unchallenged just shows that some people agree with it, and shows nothing to effect of how many people find it repulsive.

  • How did you feel at first with your new pronouns and gender markers?
  • It was weird at first but you get over it. I personally didn't experiment all that much - I had already been on hormones for awhile and had a fuck ton of voice practice to where I was gendered correctly on the phone.

    I was also an overly anxious wreck, though, so I don't quite recommend my approach lol. Just do what you feel comfortable with

  • Vertex’s diabetes cell therapy spurs insulin production in a half dozen patients
  • Unfortunately, this requires immunosuppressives in order to function, which is far worse than having t1 diabetes and a good cgm with auto mode.

    There have been plenty of promising studies for making cells produce insulin again, but the crux of all treatments is getting the immune system to stop attacking the insulin producing cells; until that happens, any treatment outside of regular insulin injections is moot.

  • Hunter Biden to plead guilty to three federal charges | CNN Politics
  • There's no way that laptop didn't have extra shit put on it. Im not a fan of Biden by any stretch, but the whole thing is just silly and murky. Could there be some possibility of corruption with the Bidens? Absolutely - but this laptop will never prove anything

    From the hunter Biden laptop Wikipedia

    Neither analyst could verify the vast majority of the data, nor could they find clear evidence of tampering but they note "key pieces of evidence useful in discovering tampering were not available." In some cases, The Post matched content to other sources "that the experts were not able to assess". The unverifiable emails included some prominently reported previously by other news outlets. The analysis found that people other than Hunter Biden had created six new folders on the drive over a week after the original report by the New York Post and months after the laptop had been taken into FBI custody. It also found that data had been accessed and copied off the drive by people other than Hunter Biden over the course of nearly three years.

    The whole thing is a bunch of disinfo bullshit

  • I'm getting crowd sec banned? I can't view beehaw on my pc

    Hey there! I tried loading up beehaw from my computer, and I am getting hit with a crowd sec ban? I can still access just fine from jerboa and mobile, so I'm not sure what's going on. Is anyone else getting hit by this? Did my ip get banned for some reason?

    I made a Style to make the browser a bit more desktop friendly

    UserStyles Link: https://userstyles.world/style/10309/densify-for-lemmy

    Not sure if this is the right community, but the narrowness of the default web page was driving me a little crazy. I still need to fix a few things (like vertically centering the votes) but I feel that this looks a lot better. If you have the Stylus browser add on, you should be able to add it pretty simply!

    General Programming Discussion @lemmy.ml mustyOrange @beehaw.org

    What kind of development environment do folks use for Lemmy?

    For context, Im used to working in MVC with .net core for webdev, which has everything all nicely contained within VS for better or worse. I believe Lemmy uses react.js and rust from a cursory glance, but im not quite sure what exactly is best. Im also curious what db software it would use

    Im also curious on how a testing environment would work for this. I imagine youd have to host your own instance to test any changes to have access to data, but theres a lot here that honestly I dont know much about.

    Is there any posts or documentation anywhere that would be a good guide to getting started on this sort of thing? I doubt development is going to be as seamless as developing in Visual Studio where everything is all from the same company, but Id imagine that there are particular ides that work better with the types of tools that manage this
