Short story - "If We Could Change Our Existence".

Preface:
As you have noted, I'm a gender-critical feminist who is supportive towards JK Rowling, but it doesn't bother me from writing a short novel about genderless society in the future. Note that I will never support the degenerate measures that are promoted today, as the another way to subjugate women. But even second-wave feminists thought that gender roles is the main reason for most women's unhappiness.

Chapter 1:
It's 2500, sex change is not what it used to be. Somewhere in 2020 for instance, sex change used to be painful, ineffective, people dissatisfied with the results used to commit suicide, people undergoing transitions were disliked by a lot of people, who didn't undergo these (frankly at times not unlike the witchers in Andrzej Sapkowski's books), the treatment itself was not unlike lobotomy of the 1950s etc.
But these times belong to the past now, as the new technology emerged. And this new technology enables everything, from changing body parts to biological functions of thereof. As Yuval Noah Harari predicted, we are now hackable animals and yes, even body parts and its biological functions are now effectively hackable.
Now one can change the vagina into the penis and viceversa, now one can stop having periods or nocturnal emissions, one can have high pitched voice or low pitched voice for both new "genders". Sex can be also binary and you can be either biologically-wise a man, or biologically-wise a woman. Also, the transition is perfectly reversible, as there are no awful side effects from undergoing what is now called "enhanced biology modification" or "EBM". Also one can decide, if they are gonna be fertile or infertile, via the new "EBM" technology. Now nobody questions the existence of transpeople, everybody is content and not divided. Seems like it's the happy time, when all the religions (especially those keeping the binary gender roles) are deceased and no longer enforced.

Chapter 2:
Yet there might arise some problems. For example, if hypothetically a man raped a woman in his past life and then transitioned, how is it going to be solved? There are still ethical questions being raised from all of this. It technically could be solved with convicting and jailing the individual offender, of course if the law enforcement worked, properly. One issue would be settled for sure: men in the past lives will be always mental men and women in thePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

But even second-wave feminists thought that gender roles is the main reason for most women's unhappiness.
Feminists don't count. Most women are mad in love with their babies and that brings a smile to their face. Do everythng so they could maximize their chances of having babies and then perhaps do something on the sides of motherhood and I'm sure most of them would be glad.

With renewed motherhood you deprive capitalists from one of their weapons to divide the classes by pitting men against women and using the latter to drag wages down.

Women also spend more on trivialities, they are the perfect consumers, which is why Capitalism needs them "empowered", AKA with a big wage to spend money on makeup and shoes and bags and random gossip related shit.
Women are very pragmatic when they are confined to a house, they manage houses very well, better than men. They think all the time about all the little things that bore men.

>Chapter 1

>EBM
I suppose the technology in question is really entirely based on maturing mRNA bodies in vats, so people spend some time in a tube with fluids while nanorobots and other miraculous serums rewrite the DNA and work on altering the bodily tissues and bones. Tack on that a lot of brainwashing to erase as much as possible the ancient mind and imprint the new gendered type. Then growth hormones would be used to make women taller whereas deep nano-surgeries on bones would reduce the volume of the male skeleton and redraw it.

>religions and gender roles gone

You missed an opportunity here where you could have some countries that push people into gender roles now that they say there is no reason not to have anything in between male and female when anyone can be pure male or pure female. A little provocative but definitely more thought provoking, you took the very easy road to safely satisfy your fetish.

Just dumping lore seems pretty unimaginative, but i guess you bring up a few points worth discussing.
>sadly children during the beginning of this technology were sold
It's an interesting thought that, due to the endurance of the patriarchical superstructure, the arrival of artifical childbirth will make children even more into a type of property.
>sports
Why would a future society have a need for the current kind of professional sports, requiring a segregation along physical characteristics? This type of highly physical competition is relatively recent and at odds with most of the populations interest in sports beyond pure spectacle.
>men in the past lives will be always mental men and women in the past lives would be always mental women
This is stupid essentialism on the same level as the "brain development" argument, but mtfs definitely should have more feminist struggle sessions.
>Their job is to see, how AI is doing the jobs for them. The only thing they have left is being a jester in front of the new oligarchs.
This is the main problem with your "story". Science fiction usually examines a tendency in the present and says something about it by extrapolating its development into the future. Yours in this case appears to be ai-driven automation advancing the state of body modification, but you haven't established any connections from one to the other. The most i could glean, is that ai somehow enables humans to live these lives for their entertainment, which i don't get in any case.

>classify
categories: bait, idpol, rambling
I dislike fiction but I don't think your idea can even be called that. if you want to make a point just write an essay. your thing is full of inconsistencies but I don't care enough to point them out, partially because it is clear you are only posting this to elicit responses ("bait"). as a matter of fact, the only reason I'm writing this reply is because the report field is too short to make a proper report

<the treatment itself [HRT] was not unlike lobotomy

Martial arts are millennia old already and cover a wide range of activities, they could get brutal. It would certainly be super gendered on top of the ancient moral code already upholding strong separations of purposes between both sexes.

Do you think you'll be alive to see what happens when giga-structures like The Line, and other saudi\UAE cities, silicon valley's AI utopia etc, are finally built ,and start being functional? OR, when small human colonies can subsist on Mars?
Within, say, 50 years; how will Energy, public transport\ private use of electric cars, climate chaos-resistant cities, etc, have developed? What are the newest or most important, recent developments in transport, and city-wide planning and transport infrastructure, no one talks about?

Is there a version of 4chan X that work with Leftypol's varient of Lainchan's variant of Vichan? I've tried the vanilla 4chan X, but it barely works, which sucks, because I prefer the 4chan X interface.

this is something we've always known was going to happen at some point. Now of course the Internet and big sites will still exist(YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter) but it will become like television was, a lot more sanitized. There won't really be any real speakers on those sites, just spectators, most rebel sites will be removed other than the enforced squeaky clean ones and I've made peace with that.

>content / ad ratio exploded
Social networks, video websites and even mere wikis are now full of that shit and that's not limited to internet mind you it also happens on tv too. They're maxing the revenues for some big project.

Yt is already asking for you to sign in to prove you're not a bot in many countries and IPs while they're working round the clock to prevent proxies from accessing the content.

Yet despite all the doom posting Im not seeing whats preventing people from joining forums and obscure sites hosted on remove cabbage powered computrons.

>>23860
So much now is bait, worst offenders lure people with a thumbnail and some keywords and the topic is either only superficially explored at the end or never at all. You've got tons of supposedly serious or friendly channels doing it.

No need for bots when it's just a business of churning out time wasters to get views and monetize them.

Don't have it in me to write documentation at the moment but here's the repository: https://codeberg.org/jung/arsvia Plan to add install instructions, and some pictures. The gist is:
1. install postgres, imagemagick (libmagickwand-dev), python3, and pip.
2. run pip install -e .
3. setup a user and database in postgress and add to config.py
4. python3 arsvia
5. navigate to 127.0.0.1:5000
6. create an account which will automatically become an admin.

activitypub is a bad match for imageboards unless you're going to treat every poster as one big account. Activitypub and other protocols seem to assume named accounts which imageboards don't have.

Make everyone register an account

(for real tho this could be not bad. It would help against spam and illegal content by raising the barrier to entry some [and new account creation could be temporarily halted, which is better than harming vpn or tor users or etc], and on the front everyone could still be anonymous. Or a tripfag at their choosing. whatever. Would it be so bad?)

>>28343
wait nevermind, the names would still be exposed in the federation process, i'm dumb. I guess every topic/board could be considered a user? I agree though. Also activitypub is just kind of bad in general. It's really nonspecific and everyone implements it so differently that the dream of cross-platform connection is very rarely reality.

I've always been drawn to the idea of a truly personal computing experience, being able to design a system that I understand inside and out and have complete mastery over, but without knowledge of OS and low-level programming, I assumed this was beyond my reach. But looking at unikernel technologies such as MirageOS, it seems I should be able to write an OCaml program that "just werks" on any hardware that supports virtualization.

Sure, it'll never be as functional and feature-filled as a commercial laptop, but I'm thinking I could create a reasonable "dumb machine" that supports some basic tasks I'd like to do without all the bloat and distraction that modern OS's provide. Just curious if any of you here are familiar with unikernels and have any experience using them. Is there potential to use them to create truly customizable and personalized systems?

Recent reports indicate that German law enforcement has successfully deanonymized users of the Tor network.

Sources:

https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2024/09/tor-anonymity-compromised-by-law-enforcement-is-it-still-safe-to-use

https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/panorama/aktuell/Investigations-in-the-so-called-darknet-Law-enforcement-agencies-undermine-Tor-anonymisation,toreng100.html

According to the Tor Project, they maintain that Tor remains a secure option for users. They attribute the deanonymization incident to vulnerabilities in an outdated chat application called Ricochet, rather than flaws within the Tor network itself. However, I’m not very tech-savvy and wonder what the real implications of this situation are. Do the updates to the Tor protocols mentioned actually address the problem?

It seems like the vanguards thing should make it a lot harder for feds to pull off, but it doesn't "fix" it. Though with privacy this is usually the best you get, a lot is just stacking odds in your favor so much that it is effectively safe. Same with cryptograhy. That said, a real fix could be a random delay added every hop, and maybe packet padding if this is the type of timing attack they pulled off.

Steps they could have taken to mitigate vulnerability: (first of all - it's hard to tell if they got deanonymized via the server, as a server admin or smth, or as a user?) 1. not connect directly to the Tor network, connect to a proxy/VPN (that you own and run, and set up anonymously, and which you use for other activities as well; e.g. route all traffic on a multi-use device thru VPN) first. 2. control the first tier of guard nodes (as hidden service), set them up anonymously and everything, in a country not friendly to your gov. This isn't a 100% fix but the article mentions coercing the guard node owner… if it's you then just pack it up at that point and they have nothing. 3. not showing online status on the fucking app lol, it seems like that might be what really got them in the end

Downsides to these mitigations: 1. they could have the company that owns the server your proxy runs on snitch on connections and de-anonymize you (just the fact that you connected to a Tor node and when), or they could attempt to hack it and take it over even. 2. Again they could just ask the company to monitor the servers and snitch on you. Putting it in an unfriendly country might remove some of LE power, and you owning the server means they would have to escalate beyond just asking nicely and would give you a heads up potentially, but this isn't a total fix. 3. They still had to find the guy's IP first. They could have attempted escalating to other methods to correlate that he was the one posting, when and where. But it would deprive them of an easy thing to bring to the courts.

Overall, Tor isn't suited for use against an imperialist state actor. It's security thru obscurity, plus encryption. Vast majority of nodes are in 14 eyes. Nym net is a cool project trying to fix that (read the Sphynx protocol white paper it's really cool,Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>a network of crypto entrepreneurs
What are you talking about lmao

>>27489
Because closing a windows is not the same as closing the browser itself.
You can also see what happens if you increase the security parameters and eventually even use a bridge (no big change). With the tor address you'll share the same id as with other torposters. Assuming there are enough torposters then that should cover some of your activity but not your writing style for example or when you posted. Good AIs could safely build statistical profiles.
>>28155
> in a country not friendly to your gov.
It was getting a bit more complicated but since the latest recent events in the middle east there are few countries and nodes that have popped up on the network that I wouldn't usually spot and they go as far as Antarctica. But will that be enough? Countries spy on their own populations by requiring intel from other nations so that way they can circumvent the entire moral issue of domestic spying.

just like blow up the star or something or throw something in there

>>27447
We have no idea how we could harvest energy directly from the star though

>>27448
I guess if you're going to have the technology to build a dyson sphere your efforts would be better off spent trying to perfect nuclear fusion

>>27448
put the star in a lake and then use the steam to move a turbine fan connected to an alternator

>>27455
You have obviously not thought about clogging caused by dead fish. Meanwhile placing the star above a glacier and moving it oten enough so that the ice can renew itself every 23K years makes far more sense.
