There is no such thing as 'biological sex' or, as you put it, sex as part of your basic biology, like some sort of immutable biological property each individual gets alongside other biological traits, such as eye or hair color. Like something you cannot discuss because it would be like discussing how many fingers you have on your hand. Sex is a classification made by humans based on some loosely grouped and kind of varying physical traits, which are even not always used consistently to tell sexes apart.

The first argument in defense of biological sex is that people with a penis and testicles are inherently and biologically men and people with a vulva and vagina are biologically women. But, you know, even when they are not common, there are people who have both or none in varying degrees. This usually turns to "women are people with XX chromosomes and men are people with XY chromosomes". But people with XXY chromosomes (Klinefelter syndrome) and just X chromosomes (Turner syndrome) also exist. You may say those people will be men or women based on what their physical development will make them look like. But you can already see how this starts taking sex assignment into some subjective area and not a basic biology property anymore. Then, you also have De La Chapelle syndrome and Swyer syndrome, which are people with XX chromosomes developing physical traits traditionally considered male and people with XY chromosomes developing physical traits traditionally considered female, respectively. We can continue going over the dozens of different conditions that make it impossible to tell that someone has one unquestionable basic biological sex. You could tell those cases are very rare (if you consider 1 % of the population as very rare), but they do exist. And, since you want to appeal to biology, in science you cannot simply ignore a scenario because it's not favourable for you and claim that your theory still holds because it works for the majority. Sex is a spectrum and sex binarism is a social construct: https://doi.org/10.1038/518288a

The same way that there is also no such thing as "biological race" and I thought that debate was over decades ago: https://bioanth.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/AAPA_Biological_Race_1996.pdf

Once you start questioning the idea of sex and race as basic biology that cannot be argued, you start seeing how those ideas are harder to sustain and insisting in doing so will place you in, let's say, uncomfortable positions.

Sorry, but I can't just believe every extraordinary claim that I see on social media, so I had to double-check it. In this case it seems to be true (although not his father but a "village strongman") and happened in Vietnam: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kids-cross-river-in-plastic-bag-school-video_n_5002877 https://vov.vn/tin-24h/chui-tui-nilon-vuot-suoi-lu-den-truong-nguoi-trong-cuoc-noi-gi-809014.vov Although quite old, so not sure if it's still happening.

Summary: After Linus's previous stance that security vulnerabilities are just bugs and don't require special treatment, the kernel's new policy is that almost every bug gets a CVE if it has the potential to become a security vulnerability.

I don't know if it's ironic or they really mean it, but it's published on Substack Nazi platformers, so who cares.

Bonus for the small fence around it which is almost collapsing.

Is that true? The article doesn't provide any reference to support that claim and the Portuguese Wikipedia only has a very brief mention at the 9th paragraph that it's also known by that name, but nothing about being its official name.

Ah, yes, it can have that meaning in Spain too, but not so common. It's all about context, indeed.

"Water drains in opposite directions in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres".

No, it doesn't.

Funny twist: in Spain, "chorizo" is slang for thief, so that would be actually saying "I'm a thief".

Yeah, the key seems to be in the comments from one of the changes: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/commit/0581cd661021752e5063e338c718f211c8929310#diff-bcc2125e56d5738b4778802ac650ca47719845aeee582f3b5c9b46af82ea9979R1176-R1180

It seems there was the potential risk that insufficient validation could allow reading arbitrary server files, which indeed poses a security risk.

However, my understanding is that this could be exploited only by authenticated users with permission to add new media. Not like that's a risk to ignore, but it's not like it could be exploited by anyone on the Internet.

Indeed, you can choose anything you want as the destination language.

They did something different in Scrubs for Carla, who is originally Dominican and there are multiple references in the show about other people not understanding her when she speaks Spanish. For the Spanish dubbing, they say she is Italian and speaks Italian, which is weird because there are many references to her Hispanic origins in the show. At least that's how they handled it in the European Spanish version, I don't know how it is in the American Spanish version. Because, in case you didn't know, TV shows and movies are usually dubbed to Spanish twice: one version for Spain and another one for the American countries that speak Spanish.
