Hopefully they will find better jobs with better employers.
For everyone who uses Windows, try Linux. Don’t be scared to try something new, most things that are worthwhile come with some sacrifice. Sometimes, if we don’t leave our comfort zone, we miss out.
I will provide a small guide, but there are tons of resources on the internet.
See the ranking on the right hand side here: https://distrowatch.com/ You can pick something from there on the top of the list.
Watch YouTube to learn more about each Linux distro that you find interesting.
I personally would recommend Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distros, as they have the widest support.
You don’t have to wipe your Windows-installation completely, instead you can dual-boot. This allows you to pick Windows or Linux when you start your computer. If you feel comfortable switching entirely, you can wipe out Windows and keep Linux exclusively.
Just be careful when you partition your drive, don’t accidentally overwrite your Windows installation (if that’s not what you want to do). Make a backup copy of your most important files on a separate external drive before the installation.
2·3 months agoThat’s a stupid question. As a collective, humanity is able to accomplish all these things.
I don’t want to say “I told you so”, but I told you so.
96·1 year agoInteresting quotes:
At the request of the English National Health Service, the senior pediatrician Hilary Cass has completed the most thorough consideration yet of this field, and her report calmly and carefully demolishes many common activist tropes. Puberty blockers do have side effects, Cass found. The evidence base for widely used treatments is “shaky.” Their safety and effectiveness are not settled science.
…
We also don’t have strong evidence that social transitioning, such as changing names or pronouns, affects adolescents’ mental-health outcomes (either positively or negatively). We don’t have strong evidence that puberty blockers are merely a pause button, or that their benefits outweigh their downsides, or that they are lifesaving care in the sense that they prevent suicides.
…
We don’t know why the number of children turning up at gender clinics rose so dramatically during the 2010s, or why the demographics of those children changed from a majority of biological males to a majority of biological females.
…
Medicalized gender treatments for minors became wrapped up with a push for wider social acceptance for transgender people, something that was presented as the “next frontier in civil rights,” as Time magazine once described it. Any questions about such care were therefore read as stemming from transphobic hostility, full stop.
Let me guess
Parents need to do their fucking jobs.
These gaming companies (parasites) need to lose all their IP protections.
