From my understanding, there are small risks to blockers. But the number that really matters is how many young people later decide they do not want to transition. That number is very, very small.
So we are weighing a known reality, which is that going through their biological puberty while experiencing gender dysphoria can be devastating, against the uncertainty of long term effects after stopping blockers in a small group who later decide not to transition.
It seems insane to put people through hell because a small percentage might determine, before ever starting hormones, that they do not actually want to transition.

9·12 days agoI’d be a bit more transparent on the AI usage if possible. Personally I’m okay with it as long as it’s just being used as a tool to reduce toil on creative work. But many people dislike it’s involvement in any form in creative spaces.
Speed Queen is also quite good, and honestly LG does pretty well in my experience. A big problem I think is people really wanting matching appliance sets.
You should look at the most reliable brand for each category and go that way, because just because Electrolux makes good washers for example doesn’t mean their ranges or dishwashers are going to be any good.
Embrace the mismatched scratch and dent appliances and you will achieve happiness

It’s still just installing software
I’m not sideloading an app onto my desktop when I download an appx file from GitHub to install something instead of using the windows store, having a special term for installing an apk file outside the play store just obscures what’s happening
Classic Mojang, I guess it’s probably in an attempt to make it easy for users to understand when a release was made.
I was going to say it wouldn’t make much of a difference for mods given they only really have one major release a year, but I’m pretty sure they also announced that they wanted to do more small releases instead. So we’ll see I guess, main fear I have is that we’re going to end up with very weird version range constraints.
Wait did I miss Mojang abandoning SemVer after like a decade? Did they do a Q&A or anything to explain the rationale?

I’m looking for my wife Mary, have you seen her?

Technology@lemmy.world•China's first real gaming GPU is here, and the benchmarks are brutalEnglish
21·2 months agoI honestly feel like our best route to competition at this point is the big players being forced to license technology to eachother and smaller companies.
The reason CPUs don’t suffer from these issues nearly as badly as graphics is that Intel and AMD are effectively stuck having to share technology with eachother.

4·2 months agoYeah I think Windows 8 in general is just what happens when you don’t have proper user testing and go entirely based on what the shareholders think the next big thing in computing is going to be.
At the time everyone thought that touchscreens and tablets were going to take over everything, at this point though it’s become pretty clear that tablets are for media consumption and some creative work. For productivity they just aren’t as good as a full on desktop environment.
