Gotta give us a budget and tell us what you do on your computer. I've been eyeing the Asus px13 but that's only because of my specific needs

Not to mention the sellers that swap the product but keep the reviews

I haven't seen anyone say that they are dominating but trans people only make up 1% of the population so the pool of potential athletes is quite a bit smaller than cis gendered individuals.

I'm not sure anyone here is saying "women need protection!". I was asking about the fairness of sport and if a trans athlete has an inherent biological advantage over another athlete.

Thanks, I have tried it but it didn't fulfill my requirements. Master PDF was the best but it was laggy for some reason. I'm gonna try it again if the solutions listed by other commenters don't work.

[-] tyrant@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

wow thanks, I'll give this a shot!

[-] tyrant@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Thanks! I'll check out only office. For CAD I've tried most options in Linux and they simply aren't as polished, powerful, professional as Windows options. Luckily my VM is working good on that front!

Do you have a link?

Someone sway my feelings... On one hand I'm happy about inclusion but on the other I'm worried non trans women aren't getting a fair shake.

Edit: or just down vote. I'm genuinely torn and hoping someone can provide some insight

Edit 2: After some snarky comments I decided to go digging... here's what I found initially. Feel free to post your own studies/links.

*"For the first two years after starting hormones, the trans women in their review were able to do 10 percent more pushups and 6 percent more situps than their cisgender female counterparts. After two years, Roberts told NBC News, “they were fairly equivalent to the cisgender women.”

Their running times declined as well, but two years on, trans women were still 12 percent faster on the 1.5 mile-run than their cisgender peers."*

and...

Testosterone drives anatomical and physiological sex differences in the human body (Figure 1). These sex differences can be architectural and therefore permanent, or can be influenced by adult-level, circulating testosterone concentrations, and therefore modifiable. Permanent sex differences that affect athletic performance involve the (i) brain, (ii) skeletal structure, and (iii) cardiorespiratory system. Modifiable sex differences include testosterone effects on (i) muscle mass and strength and (ii) aerobic capacity. 2022 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9331831/

and...

"Here, we report that current evidence shows the biological advantage, most notably in terms of muscle mass and strength, conferred by male puberty and thus enjoyed by most transgender women is only minimally reduced when testosterone is suppressed as per current sporting guidelines for transgender athletes." 2022 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7846503/

and...

"A study of transgender women found their race times slowed after transitioning, but their age grades, which compare people to the best runners of the same sex and age, hardly changed, suggesting they have no advantage over non-transgender women." 2018 https://www.science.org/content/article/scientist-racing-discover-how-gender-transitions-alter-athletic-performance-including

It looks like I can create a custom command but can't figure out what that would be. I'm Linux terminal illiterate for the most part.

Coming over from windows again. I've got pretty much everything figured out. I even got a VM going with my CAD software so I don't need to switch between Windows! I was super proud of myself on that one. The last thing I'm having trouble with....

I use pdfxchange for my PDF editor. It works great in wine but they don't have a specific Linux release. (If there is a good PDF editor that is Linux native let me know, I need good Mark up and dimensioning tools that can scale off of the drawings). I'm trying to set it to open PDFs by default but can't figure it out. Does someone have a good (easy) way to do it?

[-] tyrant@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah I can read them fine but for work I need to be able to mark them up and modify them. It has to be powerful with Mark up tools and most importantly I need to be able to dimension things to scale.

[-] tyrant@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It's not in there. I assume because it's a Windows app I'm running in wine?

Anyone have suggestions for a 10 year old who likes comic mischief? He's a huge fan of diary of a wimpy kid series but his reading level has moved beyond that. He's also really enjoyed the wild robot series, Matilda, and the skunk and fox books.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: thank you all for your great recommendations. I'm going to check them all out with him tonight!

I've set up a jellyfin server on a Windows desktop machine (yeah I know, not the best option). I think hardware server side is more than sufficient with i7 4790 3.6ghz, 3060ti, 32gb ram. For client I'm using Xbox One x with jellyfin client. The server is currently connected via WiFi. I'm getting playback stuttering after about 20 min or so of playback. I'm hoping to get some guidance for transcoding settings and general setup help.

I don't think it's simply wifi causing the issue as the playback bar on Xbox shows the video is buffered for several minutes ahead of playback location.
