Didn't get one from the factory, never installed my own. Do I need one?

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Only if you plan on playing competitive

[–] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

So it's cool to play unranked without one then? Great!

Factory default, I'm boring but a good selection of my long term boyfriends have been bi (I dgaf), so I don't know what that says about me lol. People sometimes assume I'm gay, but I've never questioned my gender or sexuality. Lots of friends across the rainbow though, luv you all. I have gay and trans family so it isn't something that I've ever seen as "not normal."

Factory default but apparently I'm one of those models that run a combination of software designed for other models.

[–] Limonene@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

I didn't write my own, but I did clone the git repo, and then compiled it myself.

It was freeware, but a nightmare to install. I learned several new languages that weren't even necessary in the end. There was no wiki, just disparate posts on decade old forums, most of which were misinformation. Definitely a learning experience.

When I first booted, it was assigned then

[–] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 3 months ago (3 children)

copied a friend's

how the hell, is it that common ??

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Huh. I was thinking that's the default. Children emulating the world around them as they develop. Copying from their peers

Factory default, but at least I'm compatible with all other models.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Factory default here

[–] Alice@beehaw.org 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Uninstalled for sure. Obviously this is just a personal thing but any gender just feels like an arbitrary list of restrictions to me.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

I identify as a cis male but essentially feel the same way. The social trappings of my gender are just that. It has about as much to do with my actual identity as my hair colour does. "Factory default" because I don't care enough to bother.

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Factory default. Put a dick in my mouth a few times for spice

[–] xuxxun@beehaw.org 7 points 3 months ago

Ya'll have gemders?

I derived mine through scientific observation the way we detect black holes through the behaviors of nearby bodies (or through gravitational lensing and accretion discs).

Gender is very important to some people. We see this with trans folk who will suffer social stigmatization, take hormones and undergo medical procedures to identify as a gender they weren't assigned at birth. We see this with alpha males who do not feel masculine enough, no matter how big the bumper nuts on their wide-bed SUV.

I don't feel this at all. I have an [M] on my state ID. My body has the boy bits, but meh. As a young adult, I thought I just was confident in my masculinity, only I didn't do anything that was particularly masculine.

As a kid, to man up was to take care of business. These days, it seems it might have been related to pony up which is to pay the ante, since it often is about paying bills. But I was taught this was expected of everyone who was an adult, and is in fact called adulting to make sure bills are paid and household chores are managed enough to keep the larder full, the dishes clean and the elements and pests out. (Sometimes adulting was calling the utility company and asking them to please wait since I don't have the money yet. It still counts.)

Also in my youth, we had Cold War notions of manhood, which was the capacity to have unthinkable levels of violent power that you never use in any untoward fashion. Nukes were the ur-example, and guns were the obvious domestic example, but the gun was one of a dozen power tools that were only to be used with full safety precautions for their intended purpose.

But now, these days, gun owners believe the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives them the right to shoot people they don't like, and our elected officials act like children on the floor of their respective parliamentary halls and Dick Cheney shot judge Harry Whittington, and Whittington apologized to Cheney because WTF?

So I'm enby: don't care. There are no characteristics or traits I can imagine one sex should have that the other sex shouldn't. I am the black hole that no-one would notice except for all the stars.

wrote my own lol / piecework from stuff randomly found on the internet

it's open source anyways (at least the kernel) in case anyone wants a copy :D

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 7 points 3 months ago

Been writing my own, a fork that's almost identical to the factory original. I think I messed up one of the .ini files, hair loss is happening on the scalp

[–] Sparky@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 3 months ago

I'm testing different software as I'm not fully aware of what my requirements are. All of it behaves differently, and comes with different perks so I'm trying to see if the non factory software is for me.

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

Data corruption, it’s a bunch of garbled stuff that I can’t make heads or tails off.

Miraculously, everything keeps working. So I don’t dare to interfere because it might crash the system :)

[–] Loulou@lemmy.mindoki.com 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pirated.

Remember, it's not stealing, it's pirating!

Lets do it together 💖

[–] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Failed copy/paste

[–] kraftpudding@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I was fine with the factory default, but I rarely ever used it so I unsubscribed. It's of no use to me.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

cis He/They user so I guess that counts as dual boot

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Mine came with a DRM key I had to use a special card to read, and now I've lost the card so I'm stuck in this gender unless I want to leave it and never get it back.

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I clicked on the little dice image to the right of the drop down field
