  • The body is a hodge-podge of Rube Goldberg machines, and trans research is wayy underdeveloped. Method of delivery and absorbancy and a billion other things probably affect the effects.

    Out of curiosity, the skin changes were a huge boon to me (one that I didn’t expect to be so nice), so there’s a world where it was partially psychological. Was body odor a big dysphoria source for you?

    Yeah, in my little experience basically all of the effects of hormones are “in general” at best, both in timeline and actual effects.

    Personally my libido went up a little but unlike OOP it was very much present before too.

    Meanwhile the skin softening stuff took a week or so to be noticeable, when it definitely “should” take longer.


  • Well, in the first bit of the Hitchhiker’s guide, there’s:

    “You’d better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It’s unpleasantly like being drunk.”

    “What’s so unpleasant about being drunk?”

    “You ask a glass of water.”

    Which does fit, even if it’s not necessarily a “well-known phrase”




  • I feel like you’re coming at this pretty aggressively. I don’t feel like getting into a fight, but I’ll reply once:

    I don’t like Bluesky. I find its culture very US centric, depressing, and frustrating. However, I also find it is technically better than any activitypub software I’ve used, and protocol-wise, much better specified.

    It also has >30 million users, and is much more prominent culturally.

    Lemmy and the microblogging activitypub software are more pleasant to use, but definitely rougher around the edges.



  • The other comments are roughly correct in general, but the current drama is because a couple people said “Bluesky is dying” because the number of unique users that liked a post over the past 3 months has gone down (that’s the Number that went down), and then a bunch of people got mad at those people because that’s a single very specific measure and Bluesky is objectively doing very well and anyway they’d still use it if it wasn’t popular etc etc.

    Regular internet drama, basically.

    It’s (genuinely) interesting that big-time AI enthusiasts always assume that if you dislike AI, it’s because you don’t know how to use it (and not because they have different priorities or have conceptual issues with it or such). It was the same thing with crypto and NFTs.

    I know a good amount of very skilled developers who tried AI several times in different contexts, and always found the tradeoffs much too bad to be worth it (in terms of accuracy, precision, cost, speed, whatever), and yet they still get “oh you just haven’t tried my favorite AI tool”.
