  • It really is a trip to discover all the sensory changes a person goes through with hrt. And it happens with testosterone as well. I’ve had extended interactions with a decent number of trans folks from before they started to a couple of years in, and there’s always this tipping point where scent changes noticeably.

    Even when I was still smoking, I could pick it up. I did notice that the shift hit my detection sooner for trans men. Not sure if that’s because testosterone works faster in that regard, or if the scents caused in trans women are just subtler at first, but it’s a cool thing to be around









  • So, I’ve been fucking with it.

    In terms of overall functionality, it’s solid.

    It isn’t a musicbee killer, at least not at this point. The deep ability to manage one’s library isn’t there (there’s a raft of options in musicbee), and that’s one of the things that I value highly.

    That being said, it’s at least as good as anything else that’s Linux native that I’ve found. The ui in particular, I prefer to the usual suspects.

    Fwiw, IDGAF if a developer uses Claude to reduce their workload. I only care if the end result is shit. So far, this isn’t. Everything works, it’s not conflicting with anything, and I’m not even finding little bugs or glitches. To me, that means claude was used the way it should be; a hel per rather than the developer. Again, idgaf, and any absolutism on the matter isn’t going to do anything useful.

    In terms of what it needs next, it’s the expanded library control; file conversion, batch renaming, that sort of thing where you can pull in what you rip or download and standardize it to the rest of your library in one place, while listening to and working with the music itself. Players are a dime a dozen at this point.









  • Rocking a skullet, my “face washing” goes to the hairline.

    Since I use stuff that is gentler than regular soap on my face and other sensitive spots, I tend to use them on the bare areas of my scalp as well. Then again, I also tend to use really gentle shampoos too, so I could easily get away with using that on my face, I reckon.

    But, yeah, in the shower I treat my scalp the same as my face, same products and such. When refreshing myself during the day, I use the same warm washcloth with no soap on the scalp too. Keeps things exfoliated well enough, and also keeps sebum from getting annoying.




  • Problem is that I prefer having some things external. Self hosting means maintaining all the hardware, and that can be an issue when shit goes major wrong. So some vital stuff like a password database, it’s just not something I’m going to dick around with the usual sync back and forth on my own stuff.

    And bitwarden fills that need best so far. I haven’t found anything else anyway
