I’m not op, but these are some things that I appriciate about Vivaldi:

• Mouse gestures that work anywhere in the window with different options based on what I start the gesture on (eg. Right clicking on a link and dragging down opens the link in a new foreground tab {dragging down then up opens it in the background} but doing so on empty space opens a new tab)
• A scrollable side bar for tabs instead of the horizontal one that is standard (not in addition to or requiring hacky workarounds)
• The ability to minimize tabs or send them to the bottom of the cycle order (this needs to be able to be done with mouse gestures)
• The ability to easily highlight parts of a link so that I can copy part of the text (Vivaldi highlights with a click and drag and drags the link on a click, hold and drag; Firefox doesn’t appear to do either)
• Not having to worry about third party extensions security issues or having this core functionality stop working because the extension maintainer has to update it for the new browser version.
• The fact that it just works with minimal configuration

Unfortunately I am looking for alternatives to Vivaldi since Google has decided to kill quality web browsing on Chromium browsers. Much of the web is virtually unusable to me without a tool like ublock quieting things down to work past my sensory processing issues. At times it is hard to think that the majority of web devs have anything but distain for disabled people.

I do use Fennic on Android (with ublock and darkreader) because Mozilla decided to block access to about:config in the mobile version and I have yet to find another way to always force pages to load the desktop version. (Mobile versions of sites disable most of the built in accessibility options like the ability to zoom)

The settings I set in fennic if anyone is curious:

• browser.viewport.defaultZoom (set a sane default zoom)
• browser.viewport desktopWidth (say that the screen is large enough to not trigger CSS mobille layouts)
• general.useragent.override (work around browser sniffing; I’ve yet to find an extension that actually works for this)

Are you referring to the covid vaccine mandates as it appears this video is about, or something else that I missed?

Thanks.

I guess I must be out of the loop. What us up with ground news?

So maybe a binary system causing the signal to only periodically wobble into earth’s path wile missing for mist of it?

Personally, the “just asking questions” transphobes being called on their bigotry doesn’t really seem the same as medical researchers getting harrased for trying to find treatments for deadly diseases…but maybe that is just me.

Well congress has already authorized “all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court”… So I’m inclined to agree.

If we are going to use binary, I vote for IEEE 754. The precision, accuracy, and lack of ambiguity of floating points is what we need for something with the simplicity of gender. /s

I relate to this quite a bit. The best I can figure is that I am a sapphic aligned ace transfem. It has been quite the journey figuring that much out and I am still uncertain about where I will end up in the end, though I do know transitioning was literally life saving for me.

I think reading into the split attraction model might help. Aesthetic, romantic, sensual, sexual, and plutonic attraction are different and don’t have to line up. AVEN (asexuality.org) is one place you can find info on this.

Finding a good therapist can do quite a bit of good. This can be incredibly difficult at times since a good therapist is one you feel comfortable and safe working with, and that can be different for everyone. Some things to look for are ones that practice trauma informed care (Trauma informed care is a different approach to therapy that can make a big difference… And also means they are more likely to have modern/less toxic views on the topic) and ones who specialize in LGBT issues (It can be unhelpful to have to educate your therapist)…preferably both. If you are in the States, Psychology Today has a therapist search that can be very helpful. Not everyone finds a good match the first time, do don’t give up if the first one is a poor fit.

Most of Brandon Sanderson’s works. His magic systems are widely varied and well thought out.
A couple of examples of worlds:

-The Stormlight Archive is a world styled after a tidepool with anemone like plants.

-Tress of the Emerald Sea takes place aboard ships sailing on a sea of deadly spores. Liquefaction due to decay at the bottom of the “seas” is the mechanism used to allow the ships to sail on what is funtionally sand/dust.

Riding? I hope not. The cat is supposed to be piloting and if it isn’t who is?
