    Data corruption/re-write. Installed a bunch of psychedelic programs I bought on the black market and restructured my OS from the kernel level. Worth it because shutdown/sleep signals were being ignored as well as CPU buffer trashing issues (resulting in system crashes, hangups, etc.). Works a lot better now, but handshakes are difficult because my non-conforming configuration isn’t recognized by the majority of the network. Still very much worth it though as I find complete network access isn’t exactly necessary.

      This could be a case of nodes running outdated software, the current standard protocols can handle any unknown configuration just fine. These are a source of a lot of holes and vulnerabilities that can pose a serious risk, they should be updated as soon as possible. If you have to keep outdated systems in your network e.g. running on legacy hardware, or make the ocasional connection, you’ll have to monitor them and isolate them from your critical infrastructure, at least with a good firewall and a strict configuration when possible.

    hmm. I was assigned m but I think I prefer she/her but being female isn’t actually something I want to be. Tbh my online friends calling me Toad makes me happier than either gender. So in short my gender is me.

    Factory default for me

    It’s good enough for my typical use-case so I’ve just stuck with it

      Same here. As fun as it might be trying out another gender, it’s far too complicated, and I’d rather mess with NixOS

        If you run HRT you can choose to keep the same hardware and interoperability and also have the benefit of a free and open choice of gender. It will require a little research to get started, but there is great documentation on the lgbtqia wiki (mtf btw)*.

      Same here. I like wearing skirts and being pretty but I’m a cis guy. Due to my exploration of gender expression my friends are occasionally like “Are you sure you’re cis?” And I’m just like “Yep, still a man unfortunately. I’d straight up be something else if I could but nope. Still a dude.”

    It’s factory installed bloat. But a lot of legacy software relies on it, so uninstalling it is a hassle.

      It’s not uncommon for someone to go “my friend just figured out some gender stuff and now they’re exactly what I’d like to be… Oooh ahh gender thoughts!”

        On the flip side, I remember being like 8ish and my friend told me that I shouldn’t say “cheers” to say thank you, because that’s what boys say (indeed, I had picked it up from my brother and dad). Instead, I should say “ta” (or just “thanks”). That is so incredibly gender, I can scarcely believe it happened.

      Huh. I was thinking that’s the default. Children emulating the world around them as they develop. Copying from their peers

      I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as nonbinary, is in fact, UNG/nonbinary, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, UNG plus nonbinary. Nonbinary is not an operating gender unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning UNG system made useful by the UNG corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full gender as defined by POSIX.

      *UNG -> UNG’s Not (a) Gender

    one night i was pondering gender stuff because my internet circle became queer enough that out became common to see chosen genders around and i thought that i didn’t want to be a girl, being a guy was fine, but i would like to be a creature.
    and now i’m he/they :3

    so, uh. software update ig
