IIRC I was writing it in hope/fear of someone I know offline reading this
and that it might save me from pain such discussions tend to bring.
Then on 7ce2f89c5f I judged it as paranoia
and removed it (I think the blog has disclaimer about my opinions
possibly not being so static and that I may be a different person from
what I was at time of some typings).
Today then one channel at IRC / group at Telegram has been discussing
about me or my transness for hours thanks to this line not being common
sense, so I guess it's best to restore the message and maybe link people
to this commit message in the future if they are bothered by it.
Flatpak apps appear in MATE like they were running as root and this
issue says that it's incorrect information. I imagine that it can be
confusing to other people too and as it does confuse me, I imagine there
may be a reason for me to link it to other people too.
I could have linked there dozens of times if I had written it
previously, but better late than never. I also should possibly have used
a better URL for the bridged IRC networks, but done is done.
It linked to the original trans act from 2002-06-28 instead of the most
recent version of the law, I noticed this when I started wondering
about the divorcing requirement still being there while equal marriage
law removed it. I think that this link is more useful for me as the
current version which came to force 2017-03-01.
TODO: Rewrite this part When matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc#470 is done
and there is actually standardized and more universal method for logging
in automatically.
* Freenode changed the address and never redirected from the old one.
* I recommend Searx instead of DuckDuckGo as it's open source and
handles Finnish better than DDG where I haven't seen improvement.
