My insurance provider (in germany) asked for height and weight for disability insurance and my godaunt who was the salesman very heavily hinted to maybe fudge the height upwards and weight downwards a bit, and all I can think of is that they actually use bmi for risk calculations. Better not be muscular i guess.

Preface: am not trans, but have thought about and read many things from transppl about everything going on in their heads bc its still sth i struggle with
This will also vary based on the individual, and there's probably at least one transperson out there that doesn't care. But for those that do, I'd think it comes down to it being one more aspect where they're put into a box they really don't feel like they belong in. Something that on its own would likely not be a big deal, but if you're already trying to 1) get away from everything your birth sex has confined you to and 2) try to feel as close to your actual gender as possible in every day life, it can make a difference.
Really I'm just confused why bathrooms are gender seperated in the first place though, we have stalls for a reason?
So I didn't quite try it to switch, rather installed linux to dualboot specifically because one game had lag issues on windows, and ultimately there are just 2 things keeping me from making linux the main and windows the backup.
One is game compatibility, while linux has come a long way it's simply more convenient to be on windows which can effectively run everything (even if there are a few more performance issues at times).
The other is that I couldn't find a DE of which I liked the look that could handle high refresh rate monitors properly. LXDE works for my purpose and I think it looks ok, but by design it just doesn't feel as nice to use as windows.
Hated gnomes UX, liked KDE but it couldn't handle my monitor. Wouldn't wanna bother with trying many more options unless I actually know it will work with my hardware.
It's not actually "no tools", it's "no specialized or proprietary tools unless provided for free by the manufacturer".
You should be able to turn off the swipe inputs for the kb entirely, at least i could on mine (the accidental activation was annoying me too). You can probably find it searching for swipe in the settings.
I have tried like 5 different vegan meat things now and they ranged from bad (the times they involved cheese, my god vegan cheese sucks) to "ok, but would rather just eat something that is vegan without trying to be fake meat."
Is there any particular type of product that's good? Brands will probably only help if you're also in germany, but maybe fake chicken is just the wrong fake meat to buy.
You have a few options, one is sharpkeys as people mentioned, alternatively there's also the microsoft keyboard layout creator that lets you make a custom keyboard layout where the two are swapped.
If you only want to activate it temporarily, you could also use autohotkey to define a hotkey that makes you type a colon instead of a semicolon and vice versa until you switch it off.
The Muv-Luv trilogy, or rather Muv-Luv Alternative in particular. I just went into hermit mode for the full 60 or so hours it took me to read/play all of it.
It still has its flaws of course but the worldbuilding and character interactions with such a dark and conpelling but not edgy story are something that nothing else has matched for me.
It's americans assuming everything must be about the US and everyone they're talking to understands US terms or even is from there.
Like using state acronyms with no context and assuming ppl will know what it means. Or random cardinal directions when there's no country context. The whole thing likely exists because of the insane cultural bubble US education and media perpetuates combined with many people on the english speaking internet actually being from there.
Oh and also many of the people on reddit complaining about it were utterly unable to see when there was context implying it's about the US so they weren't really better.
That, or a photo of your ID, or some other "proof". Depends on country too probably.
Honestly I don't think there's any relevant data google would gain from that that they don't already have unless you're very meticulous about not letting them have any, so I didn't really care.
And you can almost certainly blame "think of the children" type of legislation for that more than google trying to collect more data. Which is also what causes the country variation, it might not be needed at all in some places.
Having multicommunities (either the option to automatically combine all communities with the same name across federated instances into one feed, or some sort of manual linking from the mod side where a community gets combined outward facing while still being hosted across servers with seperate mods) has already been brought up and would be a very good feature to mitigate this issue too. It's not something that has to stay impossible forever.
basically, all of this. My issue was that no matter what I tried, said game was clearly displayed at 60hz on my 240hz monitor (very fast movement so it's extremely obvious, and it looked identical to if i set the monitor to 60hz in windows). Tried a few things but couldn't get it to work.
