But hey, trans people have totally not lost any protections because of this ruling. The Supreme Court can only interpret the law, which is, as we know, an apolitical, amorphic force of nature and not a deeply political process informed just as much by a person's perspective and bigotries as any other.
Practically they did have them though, albeit under a legal grey area.
The ruling also pointed out that there are also existing protections under another law.
They said you can't discriminate against trans people on the basis of gender reassignment. You can, however, simultaneously discriminate against trans people on the basis of assigned gender at birth and they can be excluded from sex-segregated spaces of their assigned gender if they look too much like the other sex. So the Supreme Court just ruled on the question of 'which toilet should a trans person use' by saying 'neither'. This is what happens when you only consult with trans hate groups like Sex Matters and don't consult with trans people.
How is a ruling that just removed protections trans people had yesterday a 'positive step'?
Yet another case of a British institution making decisions about trans people without letting them participate, but allowing 'gender-critical' transphobes to, and fucking them over.
After I started puberty, I started to feel very dissociated from my body. I mostly think of myself as a floating set of eyes and hands, kind of like a VR game. Remembering I occupy a body and specially this body is always quite disconcerting. It was only when I read other trans people describe this experience, and point out how it wasn't normal, that I was able to make the connection to dysphoria.
I don't want to be subject to the output of generative AI and yet and I continuously am because AI bros oppose things that would enable my preferences (e.g. requiring AI output to be watermarked or tagged) and shove it in places I visit regularly. So fuck them and their ocean boiling algorithms that will never make art worth seeing, prose worth reading, or music worth hearing.
Yeah, I thought it must be a Reddit repost instance, thanks for pointing to the right one.
i apparently cannot figure out ascii shrugs, nvm

Just so we're clear, what this crawler does is go through all servers that use ActivityPub known to it, and congregate that data to a list of known services (Lemmy, Mastodon, Piefed etc.). How is does that is by querying a standardised end point to get the instance info (.well-known/nodeinfo which will then point to a different path to get the actual info).
For instance, here's what it will collect for feddit.uk:
nodeinfo json
// curl -s https://feddit.uk/nodeinfo/2.1 | jq
{
"version": "2.1",
"software": {
"name": "lemmy",
"version": "0.19.10-feddit",
"repository": "https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy",
"homepage": "https://join-lemmy.org/"
},
"protocols": [
"activitypub"
],
"usage": {
"users": {
"total": 4184,
"activeHalfyear": 718,
"activeMonth": 485
},
"localPosts": 25750,
"localComments": 122835
},
"openRegistrations": true,
"services": {
"inbound": [],
"outbound": []
},
"metadata": {}
}
The important stat here is the localPosts, which is all the posts made by local users in any community, local or remote. It does not include posts by users from remote instances made in local communities. You can also see this data on the instance sidebar in lemmy-ui.
lemmy.zip going down will only reduce aggregated stats for total posts by 47,280, as that's what they report for their localPosts.
But zip has < 50K posts.
You shouldn't expect anything else from the Torygraph, it's all nostalgia bait and hate mongering to comfort their snobby readership (and to prop up his links to fossil fuel companies).
The amount of things learned from the comments under memes is probably a bit high, but I’ll send a commit to fix this in a minute.
Who needs an issues tracker when you have a meme tracker, eh?
Does Lemmy look at the mods URL again when it decides to refresh a community (or when it receives an Update / Group)
Yes to both. Updating a community and fetching a new community are identical operations in Lemmy.
Even better, he can demand her to strip naked for him. Purely theoretical of course, the bobbies would never abuse their power.
