The first photo is what I think is closest to how people realistically see me as. I just feel like socially transitioning was a mistake, and maybe hrt can't help me. Keep in mind at the point that photo was taken I was a year and many months in.

I love how covid is growing and we are still with this back to the office bullshit.

 

I am currently working on a small project, and I am working on getting it functional, but I question when exactly should I make commits. I usually just do it when I am done with working on it, but I know in practical projects often times commits are for one specific thing but given the project does not even work yet what exactly do I do.

 

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/sky/Documents/hourlypets/node_modules/tsl-mastodon-api/lib/index.js from /home/sky/Documents/hourlypets/src/mastodon.ts not supported. Instead change the require of index.js in /home/sky/Documents/hourlypets/src/mastodon.ts to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules. I am a bit confused, I did attempt to try to change from CommonJS to something else it broke my other modules I am using.

 

I am currently working on a silly little project that will post pet's up for adoption every hour to mastodon. I am struggling with how I should structure the project.

Should I put every single step in it's own typescript module, like the main file calls the petgrabber function in petgrabber.ts after 1hr, than petgrabber calls the mastodon function in the mastodon.ts file, or should I just do a single file, or is there a way I am not thinking of. My biggest thing is them being interdependent on each other feels like it defeats the purpose of having them in their own file.

Ugh "free speech" IE you can debate random trans people just trying to live their lives. Twitter always had some level of free speech. Neat though that anonymous login kinda works!

 

I feel like the post's title does not do this one justice, anyway, I recently graduated college with an associate's in computer programming, however, I honestly lack skills beyond very basic programming skills. I have ADHD and autism and have a ton of trouble self-teaching myself things, I managed to teach myself some intermediate skills in docker and general Linux system administration when I was younger and still use it today. I feel like getting a job as a sysadmin might make more sense but for some reason, I feel like on paper my resume would just hit the shredder.

I lack min wage work experience as I did not work in college and I kinda wonder if I have the work a min wage for like 2 years to get a normal job. and if I should get off HRT cause min wage jobs in the south don’t like trans people, and that it’s just gonna get banned anyway

My name is Leona, I'm a trans woman, and I am a former game dev that worked on The Elder Scrolls Online from 2018 to 2022. I am reaching out to the LGBT+ community here on Reddit in an effort to bring attention to the issues I faced coming out of the closet while working in the AAA gaming industry. My career at Zenimax ended when HR at Bethesda's corporate office used my upcoming gender affirming surgeries as leverage to force me to resign and release the company from any potential discrimination lawsuit. This was in retaliation for raising concerns over how my manager had been treating me unfairly. I collected audio recordings and screenshots of my experiences there, and have now made all of that information publicly available in this video.

I completely understand that four hours is a lot to ask anyone to sit through. I had decided when putting this all together that it was important to keep as much context and chronology intact as possible, hence the lengthy runtime. So here is a list of timestamps to key moments in the timeline for those who wish to skip around the video:

00:04:25 - Screenshot of messages from my manager that I received via Slack while she outed me during a group meeting with my teammates.

00:22:35 - My manager does not take my inconsistent work photo issue seriously.

00:38:10 - I get told that I need to be given stricter work expectations due to FMLA. My manager assumes that my FMLA is for "the surgeries", and after probing for details as to why I am submitting FMLA forms to HR it gets suggested that my role be downgraded from Mid-Level to an Associate due to upcoming medical leave.

00:46:41 - I get pressured to not return to work early from my PTO, which turns into a conversation about why I need to be assigned unique assignments from the rest of the team, and ends with being asked how much work I could take on over that upcoming weekend.

01:02:54 - I try to explain to my manager (for the second time) how devastating it was that she revealed my new work photo before I had the opportunity, canceled the meeting we had agreed I would have the platform to come out on my own terms, and then pressured me to come out via Slack messages instead.

01:56:30 - Conversation with my manager where she asks me to "stick with DEADNAME" so that I can continue working through the technical issues I was experiencing due to my name change.

02:10:00 - Call with my manager where I am accused of being distracted from work by the technical issues that I was still facing, and that I created a "chaotic situation" by requesting a name change in the first place.

02:19:35 - Discussion with my manager's boss about certain events that he was present for, this one in particular is when we are discussing my name change being brought up in front of multiple people during a group discussion, some of whom had never interacted with me and were not aware that I was transgender.

03:13:27 - Final conversation I had with my manager and (new) producer where I am trying to address ongoing issues I have had logging in. For 3 months I kept hitting roadblocks or losing access to our tools due to my name change, and nothing seemed to fix it. I display a series of screenshots of the login issues I collected during that time. I also had my portfolio website blocked by the company's firewall after I updated my name and URL.

03:26:03 - The Head of Human Resources asking me "I don't understand, a fear of being outed to the public? Aren't you already out?", and I have to explain to them that being transgender is not the same as everybody knows that you are trans.

03:50:24 - I had contacted corporate HR at Bethesda, and they responded by viewing me as a liability. They used my upcoming surgeries as leverage to release them from any potential discrimination lawsuit by promising to pay my COBRA premiums, but only if I signed a resignation agreement with them.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I am using Arch linux on a nvidia machine with the latest nvidia package, and the default linux kernel. I have noticed steam takes forever to launch and seems to loop, this happens on both xorg and wayland

I'm using arch with KDE Wayland and nvidia, ever since I did fresh install cyberpunk 2077 launches with a balck screen in the launcher, but I can still click elements in it, and trying to launch the game prompts and error saying its currupted. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no avial. Any advice?
