"I quit taking my hormones in January after starting only a couple of months prior. The physical changes began happening too quickly, and it left me feeling like I was losing my sense of control. Still, I knew that permanently stopping HRT wasn’t the right choice; it felt like failing." (2/2)

"I thought that if I adhered to that script, it would keep doors open for me in terms of receiving medical care. But the truth is, I didn’t know what I wanted — I wasn’t trying to become a woman, but I didn’t know what I was trying to be. I wanted to transition, but I didn’t know how. (1/2)

Just seen the word w⚓ being used to get around a swear filter. Clever.

@scarlett Why is uBlock Origin blocking the site of the other uBlock program? I get that there was a falling-out but that doesn't seem reason enough to block the site in their blocker.

@GreenandBlack 👍

@maloki This is why I think a paid-for "power user" browser might be a viable thing, with shitloads of options visible to the user.

It'd never be what your grandad uses to get on Facebook and BBC Sport but I'm sure it'd have a cult following a bit like Old Opera before it became a Chrome skin.

@caribou Who are you and why do you only ever reply to me? Posting this publicly because I am asking in front of everyone.

@porsupah I did as well, Opera many years ago could be paid for. There was a freebie version that ran banner ads at the top of the browser window, and the paid version didn't.

Safari doesn't exist on non-Mac platforms. There has to be a market for a paid-for browser for power users who spend their days in the browser. Marketed well, I think it could work these days. It'd never be a mass-market thing, but would get enough users to be viable.

@porsupah I spend most of my days in the browser and would literally pay money for one that respected my privacy and worked well.

@t54r4n1 I gained kilograms when I sat at a desk snacking all day :(

If Mozilla was serious about letting users turn off the CloudFlare DNS anti-feature, they'd make it an opt-in option in Preferences.

They wouldn't bury it in an about:config option with an obscure name and require the user to set it to, for some reason, "5" to turn it off.

@rhiannonrevolts Hi! I only just noticed your account on here. May I follow you? I prefer to ask before doing so :)

I mean, loads of people pay real money for office software like MS Office and competitors.

How many of use now use our browsers far more than we use a Word Processor? It seems odd that the only real options are free-as-in-beer browsers that make you pay with your privacy.

With regard to browsers and the current controversy over #Firefox sending data to CloudFlare:

Years ago, I *paid* for Opera browser. I use a browser pretty much all day for work and recreation. I'd pay real money for an ad-free, spyware-free, non-creepy browser today.

Surely there must be other people like me who rely on the browser for huge swathes of day-to-day life and would pay money for one?

@simon_brooke No, I don't live there, I am just supportive of new community radio operations especially when they are doing something as challenging as running LGBT programming in NI
