It's worth noting that Australian and American interpretations of liberalism differ quite significantly. The modern Liberal party and its predecessors formed in direct opposition to the Labor party, in direct opposition to the labor movement. They formed as a party against radical social change, against socialism, and for free-market policies and laissez faire capitalism, describing themselves as "classical liberals". On the other hand, "liberalism" in the US more refers to social liberalism, but it's actually the exception in that regard.

All that is to say that, when Australians refer to someone as a liberal, we mean a different interpretation of the word closer to classical liberalism.

At least John Oliver has done some nice pieces about trans people I guess?

Having worked on an app that incorporated these kinds of error messages, it's not about bordem, it's about not scaring/confusing the user. "Something went wrong and your computer will restart" is more understandable to a layperson, than "Exception: Segmentation Fault". Usually messages also need to fit within an organisations documented "tone of voice". Personally, my preference is for friendly text followed by technical details.

I think a lot of trans women struggle to take up room in women's spaces, whether that be because of internalised or external bigotry. I usually seek out explicitly trans, or pro-trans, spaces.

It's beautiful!

I love it! The shine is great. I like it without the beard colour, adds contrast

You look like you were born to have blue hair!

My preferred one is Withings one's. They're hybrid watches which means they largely have a regular watch face with a little screen and a heart rate sensor/gyroscope. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

I am definitely more eepy than I used to be. Still got insomnia though :(

I think Zorin's approach makes sense for people who don't want to learn a new interface and don't have a lot of technical experience. GNOME does generally already have a good interface, but I think a lot of non-technical people wouldn't understand (or want to understand) stuff like shell extensions and GNOME tweaks.

I don't think I would switch to it anytime soon, but I could imagine it being used in a university.
