  • Nah they can just ignore the law.

    Seriously though, I’d guess their funding comes from the government in some way, and if they do not adhere to the laws governing that, their funding could be completely pulled.

    Edit: To be more clear, it’s likely the definition of woman in the eyes of the govt would determine what aid groups do with funds provided by the government if they say they serve that population, so it could be considered defrauding the govt if you’re helping trans women with funds allocated only for “women” under the new definition.

    I think it’s fucked up the court ruled this way, but it’s at least understandable why this institute would need to follow along unless they want to try to self-fund in some way, which might not work at all and then the good they are doing is completely lost. They also did say they’re going to work on it from a legal perspective so unless that’s just BS (could be) then it seems they are trying to do the right thing and advocate for trans rights.




  • Distrobox is more like running an entire other Linux distro to run your program, so like before my laptop died completely I had Bazzite and needed to install something locally that was way easier to do in an Ubuntu Distrobox, any time I wanted to run that program I open up my distrobox and run it, felt very native and the app and its files were still in my normal home directory yet ran with dependencies and such I had in the distrobox only.

    Definitely nifty but different from the goal of podman/docker imo








  • I think Lemmy in particular has a bad problem of assumed group think, it makes sense since most of us left prior platforms for freedom and decentralization reasons, stuff like boycotting major companies, switching to Linux, etc all of that is much less prevalent then some very vocal people on Lemmy think.

    I’m glad you had a different experience, but I see AI use increasing all around me by otherwise nontechy people, whereas I get on Lemmy and you know what the majority of the opinion is here.
