I think it’s because a lot of her fans were like “hang on, she’s just misunderstood, she’s not really transphobic, just doesn’t want those fake transes going into women’s spaces”, and Rowling kept it pretty vague, open for misinterpretation, not really ever able to be pinned down as actually being provably transphobic in the minds of many.

But something happened recently and it tipped her over the edge, from keeping her donations low key and her transphobia aimed at the theoretical “not really a woman ‘trans-identified-male’ boogeyman-woman” (who doesn’t really exist), to outright making open donations to anti-trans groups and attacking real trans women.

All the sudden her supporters are like… Wait, this is not who we thought you meant… Where are these scary men? The ones invading women’s spaces that you were talking about?

Wow, okay that’s weird. It’s doing it for me too, must be some debugging option

I’ve been using alexandrite and haven’t noticed.

I’ll take a look tonight.

For a desktop client, it actually works pretty nice on mobile too.

okay, i’ll take a look… probably something to do with the media proxy or the pictrs config.

Yeah, you just need to login again and put in your totp code this time. Kinda annoying that it doesn’t provide a field for your totp code on the first page.

Test

I also agree.

While I couldn’t care less (it’s their body and bodily autonomy is super important to me), I’d be a little hurt if they didn’t tell me about it.

In that case I’d be more interested in talking to my partner to try and understand why they felt that they couldn’t talk to me about it and needed to keep it a secret.

I asked my AI and that was its thought also.

So I’ve completed migration of the pict-rs server to our new infrastructure. I’m not sure what the issue was you were having, as I am unable to replicate.

Based on the father ambiguous error message, I presume it was returning a “Request timed out” or something.

Anyhow, after the migration, I’d be interested if you still see errors. Let me know.

Migration has been completed!

Fixed!

Okay, the new media cache server was locked up. Fixed the code and redeployed it. Images should come good after a page reload.

For transparency and posterity the maintenance log is here: lemmy-2023-09-03

Lemmy was running a bit slow on the new database due to too few slots in the pool.

I’ve increased and seems to be keeping up now.

The maintenance has completed and everything is now running from our new database.

Thanks for your patience while we performed this migration.

You are super welcome, lovely.

It brings Ada and I a whole heap of pleasure running these instances and it’s largely knowing that we’re making a difference to our users, and providing a safe space for you all to grow and flourish that makes it all worth it for us.

Oh let me count the ways…

Ada is super smart and knowledgeable across a broad range of topics from physics, astronomy and technology all the way to the subgenus species and origins of varieties of birds.

She’s pretty, loving, caring, empathetic. She has a big strong heart.

But the ruthlessness and absolute conviction which comes out whenever she sees something wrong… that is honestly the most awesome thing about her. The way she goes from zero to 100 in under a second, that’s her true superpower, and quite something to see.

I’m somewhat enamored, tbh.

It’s okay…

Ada is actually really great, and a tech girl in her own right.

She honestly just lets me play being the tech wizardess cause it goes with my aesthetic.
