It's worth taking a step back to consider why we have separate categories for male and female sporting competitions, which is: the significant physical advantage that male development confers on an individual. If sports were mixed-sex, males would dominate almost every competition. So we have women's and girls' sports separate from males, to recognize and celebrate female athletic excellence.

With that in mind, it should be obvious why exclusion of male athletes from the female category is necessary: for fairness, and in contact sports like boxing, also safety.

The reason that males with 5-ARD have testosterone levels in the normal male range is that they have testes which produce it. They go through male puberty and thus have bodies which, in a competitive sports context, have the physical advantages conferred by male development.

These males have no female organs. Some develop a perineal pouch which may be mistaken for a vagina, but it isn't a vagina in the female sense - not anatomically nor histologically - and certainly isn't functional, given that the function of an actual female vagina is copulation and childbirth.

Whether they're raised as if they're female or believe themselves to be women isn't relevant in the context of competitive sport. The reason they should be excluded from the female category is the same as any other male: the categorical advantage from male development.

This is why it's so controversial that every medal winner in the women's 800m at the 2016 Olympics was male, and that two males took gold in women's boxing in the 2024 Olympics.

The issue is that Linus put the Rust developers in an impossible position: On the one hand he approved Rust in the kernel, but then never ever ever has the balls to enforce that decision.

Then, the fanatical C developers openly sabotage and work against all the Rust developers efforts. So, the last option for the Rust developers is to take it to social media. Otherwise, the C developers get away with creating a self fulfilling prophecy: Sabotage all Rust efforts, then claim the Rust experiment failed.

Linus didn't seem to ever have the time to actually take a stance, except of course on the social media issue. Fully ignoring all context. It's the equivalent of a school principal suspending the bullied victim for finally snapping and punching their bully.

This seems like fear mongering. All other processes allow for the name change documentation to be presented with the birth certificate so that it "matches" you. Is there really anything in this law that prevents that?

Edit: why disagree? Do you have the information I requested that shows I'm wrong?
The question is not whether it is good to have such a digital strike team.

The questions include: is the strike team in question being transparent, is it violating any laws, is it protecting data in the way the law requires, is the team composed of people who have been vetted at a level corresponding to the access they've been granted, are any of them potentially compromised or plausibly so, does anyone on the team have conflicts of interest, is there oversight and auditability of their actions?

The reason, I think, these are good questions is simply that these are things we should demand of our public servants, regardless of political affiliation.

That's not true. To use the examples in the thread, a patient American kid will be much more patient than an impatient Japanese kid.
This discussion isn't about generalized terror, it's about a policy of fear directed at people who work for the government. None of the people you listed directed their campaign of murders towards civil servants.

Pol Pot confined his cruelty towards the intelligent, Mugabe, North Korea mostly terrorizes the peasantry, Mugabe's victims were a revolving door of ethnic enemies.

It's quite a different thing to shoot an admiral to encourage the rest.
That ignores the history of how the government came to be run by a class of largely apolitical, professional bureaucrats.

The government used to turn over almost entirely with each administration. This wasn't good - the loss of institutional knowledge was largely thought to be harmful. So, the country decided to protect many of the bureaucrats, with only the top tier being political appointees.
I think you are right and this is one of my issues with busses in most American cities. Basically, it's just going to be viewed as a worse version of your car. You have to create a categorical change and that's best achieved with rail, biking, and walking which can't be replicated by cars or busses. This doesn't mean we shouldn't have bus routes or anything, that's not great either, but we need to break the habit of hopping on/in motor vehicles if we want to see change.

But also, we need to actually fund public transportation. In most states the amount of funding allocated toward non-car infrastructure amounts to a rounding error.

So what can be done?

Write to your representatives at your city, county, and state level. When your state's department of transportation issues surveys or maps for feedback make sure to give feedback! If there are other opportunities where your local leaders are engaging with the public just mention you'd like to see better transit and walking infrastructure to reduce cost for taxpayers and increase quality of life. Ask for a meeting. Ask for explanations. Ask questions and keep asking questions.
When I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s I was fascinated with the process of making video games for my favorite console. But back then I didn’t really know how to research that topic (and much of it - unbeknownst to me - was behind NDA anyway).

One day I asked my friend if he knew how these games were programmed. He confidently claimed that they were made in a top secret tool called NPL - The Nintendo Programming Language.

Of course that kid didn’t know anything more about it than I did so this was just a wild rumor. Now I know that “NPL” was just 6502 assembly with the correct system documentation and some dev hardware, but kid me didn’t know that. Instead, he spent a lot of time dreaming up what this super secret language looked like.

When I checked out NESFab today I instantly saw something that looked very much like what 7 - 9 year old me would have imagined. So thanks for that.
Nothing, really.

The big problem is that now Trump has politicized the entire government, including a bunch of boring paper-shuffling agencies that have been largely nonpartisan with career civil servants who persist for decades regardless of the president.

A bit of an aside, but Trump making himself the chair of the Kennedy Center has got to be one of the biggest shows of ego that I can think of.
If your builder is compromised, it can be co-opted to sign and verify the "source code" files with any values. The risk of placing this trust in the builder or the nix store is an easy one to avoid. Getting the authencity of the code from the source code independently ought to be the correct way of verifying reproducible builds.

This is a deeply interesting comment. Obviously, YouTube began and spent several years as an ad-free, subscription-free platform, so to state that no one has ever had the "right" to use YouTube without paying or watching ads is patently false. But why would someone make such statement? Are they too young to remember an ad-free YouTube? Do they have some vested interest in pushing the idea that the YT user experience has never been and never could be more consumer-friendly than it is? Has the state of political rhetoric in 2025 - the age of Applied Big Brother, where simply stating one's preferred history makes it "real" - trickled down to normal discourse?

IANAL, but the problem with these types of licenses (e.g. WTFPL, Beerware, etc) is that they lack any liability/warranty clauses. If you want a simple, open-as-possible license, you should generally just go with MIT or a similar (and well-known) license.

To make it super easy to use the same "program" on your smartphone/tablet/laptop/desktop, wherever you are. And/or to simultaneously share access to it with friends/family. Yes, you can all just point a local app at a data share instead (the old way), but many apps aren't available across all these platforms to even make this possible across iOS, OSX, Linux, Android, and Windows, so this often doesn't work for a group of more than two people.

It's all over X, including from the official DOGE account.

Here's a couple:

On the morning of 2/3/25, 20 consulting contracts, mostly focused on "strategic communication" and "executive coaching," were terminated for immediate savings of $26mm.

On 2/10/25, the Department of Education terminated 89 contracts worth $881mm. One contractor was paid $1.5mm to "observe mailing and clerical operations at a mail center."

These things take months to years, and I don't believe we'll see fraud cases when it's been less than a month since the DOGE operation has started. If it's not fraud, it's grossly negligent with taxpayer money (which is not a crime), but I would bet at least a few of those sketchy contracts were with friends and former colleagues of the government bureaucrats in question.
If you like the Ruby syntax (but want a statically typed language), you might want to take a look at Crystal: https://crystal-lang.org/

The only remaining legal remedy will be impeachment, but as long as he can secure compliance, a conviction and order removing him by the Senate is no different than an order to stop a particular action from a court. However, eroding the cultural relevance of the principal of legality makes it increasingly likely that the there will be resort to extralegal (whether expressly illegal or in a deep grey zone law does not address because it is impossible for the situation it concerns to exist while the law is functioning in any meaningful way) remedies at some point.

I think the people Der_Einzige refers to who are practicing Freudian psychoanalysis today using anything resembling Freud's original ideas are a tiny minority, and you could toss them out without affecting the 50/50 balance.

Der_Einzige thinks Freud should be judged negatively because his ideas are discredited in detail and have been replaced by newer and better clinical approaches. Another person might have completely identical views with Der_Einzige about the current clinical worth of Freud's ideas yet judge Freud positively because he was a keen and empathetic observer of his patients, because he legitimized the concept of unconscious psychological processes in the public mind, and because he raised the profile of psychological medical care and made it more socially acceptable. The same person could even feel different ways on different days without changing their mind at all.

A person can be in a tough spot personally and then things seem to spiral out of control around them because that just cannot be 100% isolated from professional stuff or other spheres of life. It seems like this might have happened to Hector based on the post. We've all been there and that part is completely understandable.

> I get that some people might not have liked my Mastodon posts. Yes, I can be abrasive sometimes, and that is a fault I own up to. But this is simply not okay. I cannot work with people who form cliques behind the scenes and lie about their intentions. I cannot work with those who place blame on the messenger, instead of those who are truly toxic in the community.

The abrasiveness though is the reason people react that way. Not everyone is going to respond with "hey that was abrasive, that's not how we do things, here is a better way to phrase it". The majority will simply shut down or start forming cliques in the background. I can't completely blame them either. Here is Hector threatening to launch a shaming social media campaign on kernel devs:

> https://lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux/208e1fc3-cfc3-4a26-98...

"If shaming on social media does not work, then tell me what does, because I'm out of ideas."

That's not ok. Even if he feels he is right and they are wrong. People will create cliques and talk behind your back if you act that way. People will look on Rust community after this and say "Remember that time when _they_ where threatening kernel devs with social media drama?". It's not right but that's the perception that will last.
It's also not just that -- it depends on the data.

The goal of Asahi Linux is to create a Linux distribution that is compatible with Apple devices. Using Rust is not a goal of the project, it's just something they decided to use due to personal preference, and is making the process of upstreaming anything much harder. If anything, it works against them in achieving their goal. Abandoning Rust is a possibility, abandoning Linux is not.
> but what is happening is technically perfectly legal because Trump is (unfortunately) the elected chief executive and is ultimately all of these people's boss

This is not correct. Normally civil servants need to be fired "with cause," as called for by statute. Larger scale Reductions in Force (RIFs) -- which EOs say are coming -- must be approved by Congress, again according to law. The President does not have supreme authority in these matters, at least not on paper. We are about to find out what that paper's worth.
I don't think it's reasonable to read my original comment as an "accusation". I said "it sounds like" as part of a casual conversation about the subject. There was no hostility in my comment.

Would you say that the Asahi team wasn't receptive to the pace at which the needed criteria were being developed?

My point is that between these two groups there seems to be a misunderstanding of expectations. And being the upstream org, and not having read every mailing list thread, I would expect the kernel team to have built a framework for accepting this kind of code. Or a framework for building the framework.
It's hard to know what he exactly means by this. It sounds pretty bad but this guy does seem to attract and develop a fair bit of drama and this could be a bit exaggerated from the truth.
But the point is that the Rust developers have tried literally everything else.

If the C developers make it a "Them vs Us" thing, there IS NO ALTERNATIVE for the Rust developers.
