Might work; but the obvious response to that is just to declare the facility is temporarily closed while the maintenance is carried out by someone of a non matching bio sex, transferring the cost to the users.

The more I think about this supreme court judgment the more it's looking like a stitch up.

There was no way to get anything through parliament to change the equality act but now the SC has ruled Labour can just throw their hands up and say "nothing to do with us, that's just the law".

Protection vs infection or illness?

If you're a trans woman, I will respect you as a woman. No law can stop me doing that.

Indeed.

So, two people with relevant expertise and the protected characteristic of gender reassignment were prohibited from speaking before the court yet many without that protected characteristic and arguably less expertise were not?

Let me know when you start fundraising for that case.

The equality laws in the UK need updating as a matter of priority.

Quick point; but does this ruling now mean that the Scottish reform to gender recognition can come into effect as it no longer impacts a reserved matter?

Give @jackmonroe.bsky.social a follow. Probably the best source of practical stuff to handle food insecurity.

More likely, they were pursuing multiple fronts to damage the West and this is the one that happened to pick up steam.

On the recommendation of a friend of mine, I recently visited the Amsterdam museum of WWII resistance.

The thing that stood out is that one of the most effective actions was the destruction of government records.

They might be doing you a favor...

Settings -> System -> Gestures -> Press & hold power button.

For anyone who doesn't know where this can be changed. (Eg me until a few mins ago)

Unfortunately, a court case determined that companies were allowed to charge you to exercise your rights under the gdpr not to be tracked.

Consent or pay boxes have been popping up ever since.

One of the details that's interesting about this study of almost 5,000 people and 6 years of data is how recipients of monthly unconditional income smoked half as many cigarettes a day and drank less than those who didn't get the money. They also were more physically active and got sick less.

Should probably credit Naomi Wu/realsexycyborg with this as she was the first to point it out as an issue for Chinese people using a popular Chinese keyboard app.

If you're using Android's default keyboard; you're possibly exposing what you are typing to Google AI. Though that's not limited to signal.

Long shot but anyone able to make this happen?

Agreed. A while back I got an ad for a lottery prize of Β£20m; got me thinking what I'd do with that kind of money - short conclusion was just Β£5m allows you to draw down Β£50k p/y (roughly my current income) for 100y. That leaves Β£15m to do good things with and still be financially secure for life.
