Probably because singular "they" predates singular "you" grammatically. Should we go back to using thou and thee instead of the singular you as well?

Singular they is over 600 years old by the way: https://www.oed.com/discover/a-brief-history-of-singular-they/?tl=true

As a trans person, my gender dysphoria is not something caused entirely by social gender roles. Medical transition has greatly alleviated the majority of it. Anecdotally, within the first week of hormone therapy, my dysphoria improved dramatically while only being out of the closet to 2 people outside of my therapist and the medical professionals who prescribed my hormones. It has continued to improve, although I'm still waiting for the surgery that will resolve the remaining things that hormones can't fix.

Also, there are studies around brain structure differences between men and women, and transgender people tended to have brain structures in line with their gender, not their assigned sex at birth: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_gender_incongruence#Brain_structure

Perhaps you should believe people when they tell you who they are, and get past your discomfort drawing arbitrary lines in grammar regarding pronouns, when singular they predates the fall of the Byzantine Empire by 75 years.

I'm going to try to get it unlocked once it's paid off later this year. As for the sensor, it definitely can be blinding but I've never had issues with it not working. Good to know newer ones don't have the blinding problem!

It'll be paid off later this year and I'm going to give it a shot, but I'm pretty sure from the research I've done they'll unlock the carrier so you can use it with a different network. The bootloader they refuse to unlock for any phone purchased through them.

I sadly can't put Graphene on my pixel because I bought it through Verizon before I knew about their bootloader locking, but I have a 7 pro and the fingerprint sensor works completely fine.

I stopped using nextcloud after syncing suddenly broke for me, but in the app on my phone I could pull up the list of files with sync errors. It should be somewhere in the sync setting section.

For airplanes yes, for literally any other application no, that's inverted.

Yeah, that's inverted controls. Push the joystick up to go down, and down to go up.

AOC voted to stop the amendment but voted no on the actual bill.

Not to defend the Democrats or Biden for their inaction, but it would have taken some Republican support to pass a law to protect abortion. The last time the Democrats could have enshrined abortion without help from Republicans was under Obama when they held the house and senate majorities. If Biden did it via executive order, Trump would be able to undo it immediately.

If you want to tinker with it (probably quite a bit until you get it nicely tuned), the Ender 3 pro for $75 is a good deal. I've got one, and with some minor upgrades (raspberry pi running Klipper+Mainsail and a bed leveling sensor) it's been great. I saw you mentioned using Linux and tinkering with that, so you'd probably be able to get things working well.

After you've got a bit of experience, I definitely recommend connecting it to a Pi or other computer to run some kind of web interface for printing, it's much nicer than messing with an SD card every time. Klipper (firmware alternative!) isn't too hard to set up (I'm using Mainsail as the UI) and it's been great. Before that I had Octoprint with the stock firmware which was super easy to set up but more limited.

If you want to just plug it in and have it work perfectly right away, I've heard Bambu labs is best for that, but they're much more walled garden than other brands.

Good luck! I struggled immensely with getting it to work in an unprivileged container, especially the bind mounts and their permissions for my media file shares. I ended up giving up and running Jellyfin in a privileged container after a few days of fighting with it.
