Delilah (She/Her)

I notice you didn’t claim to be cis

“They may be unstable but at least they notice when I’m in the room” -> As an arch user, fair. I can feel the change in air pressure as the door opens so I notice despite the noise canceling headphones

TOP averages out readings from the last few seconds. If there aren’t enough samples the displayed values can be… off

Stealing from cops to buy tits. What could be more American than that?

I see it. The giving a little girl balloons to send her skyward certainly gives that vibe. If I could turn back time and tell her…

Broke: touch woman
Woke: become woman

I have a natural talent for manipulating my own voice. At my best the illusion is bulletproof. Like I once managed to get she/hered in full boymode with a face full of stuble.

I rarely keep it up in conversations longer than a minute. I get distracted and then realize I’ve slipped into something more comfortable. It’s handy for going outside without being hatecrimed. But even as someone who can sound fem by carefully manipulating my voice… like, I wish I didn’t have to. Vocal feminization surgery is risky but damn if I can’t understand risking it anyway. You’re right, “git gud” is not helpful advice

I’ll say it once, I’ll say it forever: Windows has better backward compatibility, period. Even compared to linux. Rebuilding an old open source linux app to work on a modern distro can be done, but it’s a process that could take hours or days. And if you don’t have the source code you’re shit out of luck. Have fun getting that binary built against a 1 year old version of glibc to work. This, incidentally is what things like flatpak, docker and ubuntu’s nonsense competitor to both (of which our hatred is entirely rational no really stop laughing) are trying to solve.

Meanwhile microsoft office still handles leap years wrong because it might break backwards compatibility with old documents. Binaries built for windows xp will usually just work on windows 11. Packages built for ubuntu 22.0 often won’t run on ubuntu 23.0. You never notice this because linux are a culture of recompilers. Rebuilding every last package once a month is just how some distros roll. But that’s not backwards compatibility, that’s ongoing maintenance.

Idiot

Of course it’s not your fault. You just lost the genetic lottery (at least so far. There’s still a chance you wake up one day so curvy you cant stand up). Sometimes you do everything right and it’s not enough, meanwhile the girl next to you gets everything handed to her without even trying. Life is cruel like that.

I too feel like I haven’t earned womanhood. Not from lack of harassment, I grew up neurodivergent and redheaded. But there’s some other X factor I feel like I’m missing but can’t put my finger on. Nope, you not alone.

Ya freaking think?

Okay, I’m about to blow your mind here. You can download a build script for any package for any distro. Example for your beloved debian. You could make a source based distro from the publically available archlinux PKGBUILD files and a custom package manager. That ain’t the issue lass.

arch>gentoo

Not in terms of wow factor, we’re all impressed you’d put yourself through that, but in terms of stability, I find it’s much easier to keep an arch install healthy. I urge you to use arch instead. For your own sanity. Trust me, I’ve been there. And I wouldn’t go back. I love gentoo, but why in the name of JK Rowling’s beard is it not rolling release?

Then use a and b for your variable names. or m and n. or α and β. you get the point

Do software synthesizers like fluidsynth count?
