“Clearness and vividness in writing often turn on mere specificity. To say that Major André was hanged is clear and definite; to say that he as killed is less definite, because you do not know in what way he was killed; to say that he died is still more indefinite because you do not even know whether his death was due to violence or to natural causes. If we were to use this statement as a varying symbol by which to rank writers for clearness, we might, I think, get something like the following: Swift, Macauley, and Shaw would say that André was hanged. Bradley would say that he was killed. Bosanquet would say that he died. Kant would say that his mortal existence achieved its termination. Hegel would say that a finite determination of infinity had been further determined by its own negation.”

This will be the result of requiring TPM 2.0 on Windows 11 computers.

Unfortunately, you are incorrect, and everything WhyJiffie has said about trusted computing on Android hardware is correct, and there is currently nothing to stop it from happening on PCs too, when TPM is more ubiquitous.

This is the same technology that locks printers out of 3rd party ink, or restricts the ability of farmers to repair their own tractors.

I recommend learning more about it, and reading what Cory Doctorow writes about it. https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/18/descartes-delenda-est/#self-destruct-sequence-initiated

What happens? I don't mind spoilers

Humor is the big one. I would start thinking about the jokes that co-workers make, and if everybody would think they're funny. Not just trans folks, but any kind of joke that has a butt of the joke or a stereotype might be good to start getting away from.

Collabora works decently well on touch screens. I've never tried CryptPad though.

One thing it took me SO LONG to figure out is us normies call the whole thing "sinuses" but to the science hippies, the sinuses and the nasal cavity are different things. All of which can be clogged with mucus that regenerates.

The problem is if it's wrong, you have no way to know without double checking everything it says
