I do mean person born a male that wants to become female. Anti-trans people often make points that trans people are just forced into being trans by the trans-mafia (or whatever term they use) aka social pressure. A brain scan indicating a female brain would counter that. But as I said, they'd probably find other excuses "it's a mental disease that can be treated" and so on and so forth.

I was saying it would be less interesting if it scanned say a female-to-male trans person and returned a result of female (correctly guessing the sex but not the gender), than if it had returned a result of male (that is correctly guessing the gender but not the sex).

That would embolden the anti-trans crowd.

Science is ongoing though, so who knows what the results will be.

woops, indeed 😇

There are short men and tall women, so you shouldn’t rely on just that.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. Height is a single value. If you trained an AI on that, it would be guessing. A brain has many, many more parameters to take into consideration when going into an artificial neural network.

When was the last time you used KDE? It's been able to run on low-spec machines since KDE4 which about a decade old

Isn't the desktop cube from KDE3? Something like 10 years ago?

That's your opinion and I don't share it.

Looking at the posts right now, most of them are pretty much what the bot would post: blog posts, announcements, interesting repos. A bot would add more of that.

To have people talking, you need to give them something to talk about and news is what people talk about, I think. We just have a large lurking community, which IMO isn't bad. To have people talk more, the only things I can think of are

  • projects the community works on together (bot may be one)
  • podcasts or videos with the community
  • questions from the community

A bot seems like the easiest in terms of investment.

I see. Thanks.

Is it possible to comment on it from the fediverse?

[-] parens@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I wish you strength, my friend

Maybe it's the instance I'm posting from, but it doesn't work.

If third party apps don’t select a language, won’t that just be Undetermined?

I’m not sure how it makes it more simple than just letting people state the language of their post 🤔
