Are you implying that 17 is younger or older than their actual age, and is that supposed to be favourable or not?

The problem is that most of those custom ROMs are based on Android, so they inherit the bad parts of Android they don’t specifically take care to remove, and they don’t support most devices, so I’d have to buy a new phone for instance to use one of them, and Linux phones still lack the app support, feature support, hardware goodness, and widespread availability to be used as primary devices for people.

Also the government supports centralised control of the internet, with laws like the ‘Online Safety’ Act and Chat Control, so we can’t trust them to save us against the evil corporations.

You’re lucky your bank doesn’t require a phone. Nationwide pushes you to use a banking app on mobile, and if you want to use the website anyway, every time you’ll have to input a passcode and an SMS verification code, or use a physical card reader.

Quite. Not sure why you’re being downvoted so much. Hive mind’s gonna hive, I guess

I would rather religion doesn’t exist any more, not just religious ‘extremism’, that sounds very subjective

Oh yeah, parents should not be allowed to veto their childrens’ choice at all

I don’t think I’ve ever met someone with my deadname, it is quite a rare name :)

Yes, HRT both improved my mood, and I also feel far more comfortable in the body it’s giving me. Fuck gender stereotypes, though.

Yes, they is a good default for anyone you don’t know the pronouns of, in general. And it’s great that you care about doing what’s right already!

For me it was the opposite, I became way calmer and happier once I started HRT.

As soon as puberty starts, they should at least have the option to delay their choice with puberty blockers, and probably soon after to start HRT, if it’s clear it’s a permanent thing.

Super hearing. So I can actually hear what people are saying in cafes

I used to have depression before I started HRT. I would dwell on all the world’s problems, and feel despair, and cry at night, and be quicker to anger when people annoyed me. Then within a week of starting HRT - not saying this would work for everyone, but it worked for me - my baseline magically got higher, most of the time I felt ok, found it easier to enjoy things, ignored the world’s problems, was calmer and less judgemental.

There’s a high barrier to entry and most shops don’t accept it. I support crypto becoming mainstream and simple to use, but it’s not there yet.

Male/female

I’ve never heard of that. Is that a European thing?

What do you recommend as an intermediary between banks and people, who can’t use crypto?

Both appeal to tradition and appeal to novelty are harmful. An idea should be evaluated on its own merits.
