Yeah, it's definitely an annoying process (though much easier than most other U.S. states). Luckily, you only have to file the papers in court. You don't actually have to show up to a hearing unless someone objects with good cause (meaning they think you're changing your name for fraudulent reasons). The main problem is the extremely high $435 filing fee and $40.50 for every certified copy (you need three, so $121.50).

I’m going to hopefully be working on a name and gender change ant some point and I’ll remember to take notes on what I find out about the process.
That would be great!
Just curious, is this going to just be resources for name and gender change, or do you plan on adding other resources at some point in the future?
I do plan on adding other stuff at some point.

There's no scrutinizing to be done here. I refuse to participate in a community that accepts or enables anyone claiming to be transracial. In my opinion, someone claiming that they're transracial warrants an instant permaban. I have been a member of Lemmygrad for a long time, and I moderate some of its biggest communities. I even run other communities that are affiliated with some of Lemmygrad's communities, but I would've deleted my account if this person hadn't been banned.

Yes... that's definitely what happened. No one was locked in any basements. Nope, just a fun vacation. By the way, you might want to check what's inside those cans of "Dr. Pepper" we gave you.
Hello, and welcome everyone to this week's weekly discussion thread, a time-honored tradition of our group!

Arch Linux recently merged an RFC, creating an official process for porting it to other architectures. Since the beginning of the Arch project, it's only supported x86 machines, so it's nice to see some changes in that regard. I'm very excited for a potential RISC-V port that I might help with if it happens :3

Congratulations! Welcome to the club!
If you ever need to talk about anything, I'm always available. I've also been on HRT for almost a year (it'll be a year in 9 days :3), so if you want to know more about HRT and its effects, feel free to ask.

Sure. The email sender doesn't work yet anyway.
One of the members of the GenZedong Matrix space recently created a communist Akkoma instance at [spectreofcommunism.boo](https://spectreofcommunism.boo/)! ## What is Akkoma? Akkoma is like Mastodon but lighter and faster. It's an open source microblogging platform where you can post "microposts". It's kind of similar to Twitter, but actually good :3 Like Lemmy, Akkoma is federated, meaning you can interact with people on other servers regardless of which server you've signed up on (similar to how you can see Hexbear users on Lemmygrad). Akkoma federates with all fediverse platforms, including Lemmy, so you can actually also interact with Akkoma users from Lemmygrad, and vice-versa! ## How do I join? 1. Go to https://spectreofcommunism.boo 2. Click on Register 3. Fill in your account info and then answer the [vetting questions](https://spectreofcommunism.boo/notice/AfUPn9Osj9fVWADl3I) in the "Reason to register" field 4. Wait for your account to be approved

Last-gen AMD GPUs and even some last-gen Nvidia GPUs beat Nvidia's current gen in performance and cost way less. The pricing of 40 series is absurd for the performance it provides.

Generally, I'm opposed to any telemetry in any project, open source or not. However, there was recently a discussion about adding telemetry to the Go programming language's tools, and Go is my primary language. My initial reaction was outrage, I don't want Google spyware on my system, but reading the proposal for how it was actually going to work changed my opinion. Here's a link to the proposal: https://research.swtch.com/telemetry. It was designed for Go, but the author believes it can be applied to other open source projects as well. It was originally going to be opt-out, which I disagree with, but the Go team has listened to feedback and it will be opt-in instead. This is the first telemetry proposal I'm not completely opposed to, and I might even enable it on some of my devices. While Google has had a very bad track record with spyware, this proposal actually seems reasonable and carefully designed to take privacy into consideration. The system will only collect numbers and stack traces. The numbers are statistics like the amount of times a Go tool has crashed or the amount of times a feature was used. Every week, with a 10% probability, a report will be sent. This amounts to an average of just 5 reports per year. The reports will contain no identifying information, not even a randomly-generated ID, they will be publicly viewable, and the decisions about what to collect will be made in an open, public process. All the code for this will be completely open source. It only applies to the Go tools themselves, not programs compiled with the Go compiler, and all the collection logic is local, with the metrics being stored in files that you can inspect to see what will be sent. It seems like this proposal would preserve privacy while still providing only the necessary data to allow the Go team to improve their tools. What are your thoughts on this?

No charges were filed against the officers. The police are investigating themselves. I predict they'll find that they did nothing wrong. Edit: There's bodycam footage. Don't watch it unless you're prepared to deal with extreme anger towards those disgusting **pigs**. I don't think I've ever felt this angry and enraged in my life.
Hello everyone, You all know me as [Arsen6331](https://lemmygrad.ml/u/Arsen6331) A while ago, I had a realization. I realized I was trans. As with all the other major realizations in my life, my brain has been subconsciously collecting evidence for years, and I had this realization in a single moment. My egg didn't crack, it exploded and shattered violently. Memories containing evidence started popping up in quick succession, from when I was as young as 3 years old, and I had to process all of them. It has been a major emotional rollercoaster. I've been repressing this for as long as I've been alive, so this makes me very anxious, but now that most of it has been processed, and the most important people have been told, I can tell all of you: Hello, I am Elara, an Autistic, Trans ML. Thanks to everyone here. You all were a huge part of my realization. Without you, it might've happened a lot later or not at all.
