Transgender minors and some adults in Missouri will soon be banned from accessing puberty blockers, hormones, and gender-affirming surgeries under a bill signed Wednesday by the state’s Republican governor.

Beginning Aug. 28, Missouri healthcare providers won’t be able to prescribe those gender-affirming treatments for teens and children. Most adults will still have access to transgender health care under the law, but Medicaid won’t cover it.

While Microsoft has indicated these outages are a mess of its own making, hacktivist group Anonymous Sudan has claimed responsibility for the downtime, and said it did the deed as retaliation for the US government interfering with the internal affairs of the civil war-ravaged African nation.

The potentially-pro-Russian crew stated its claim on its Telegram channel, with messages coinciding with the timing of the first outage. Afterward, the group reportedly said it would again attack Microsoft's services because the company said the problem was technical rather than a cyberattack.

Midwest.social is "a Lemmy server for, but not limited to, leftists in the Midwest USA" according to the person running it. Head on over and join the conversation!

I've been unintentionally neglecting the MO and STL communities here on Lemmy.ml, but intend to fix that moving forward and will try to post things between both servers.

I can't say that I share her optimism, but I suppose it's always good to maintain hope that people here in MO will stop voting against their own interests.

Microsoft kicked off its Build developer conference yesterday, where it unveiled several new features for enterprise customers. The company also announced a preview of Windows 365 Boot, which lets users log directly into their Cloud PCs at startup instead of the local install of Windows 11.

Windows 365 Boot is designed for Windows devices that are shared between multiple people (such as frontline workers and temporary employees). The feature eliminates the need for IT admins to configure Windows PCs for individual users.

“When you power on your device, Windows 365 Boot will take you to your Windows 11 login experience. After login, you will be directly connected to your Windows 365 Cloud PC with no additional steps. This is a great solution for shared devices, where logging in with a unique user identity can take you to your own personal and secure Cloud PC,” Microsoft explained.

I created duplicate accounts (same username as this one), one here on lemmy.ml and another of the same account on midwest.social. This was before I understood how Lemmy works. Now I've deleted the account on midwest.social and want to login there with my federated account from lemmy.ml. However when I try to login it just sits and spins.

Will I be able to login to the other Lemmy server with this account? Do I just need to give the other server some time before it wipes out the account completely?

I have verified that the other server is federated with lemmy.ml:

Just a recommendation to the mod(s) here, you may want to set the display name for the community to simply "Sysadmin".

While it's a funny true-ism, when searching Lemmy communities for "sysadmin" it's easy to miss "It's always dns" in the results. Make the sidebar just read "It's always dns" instead.

Stop on by, post what's on your mind. What's happening in our state? Want to be a moderator? Let me know!

I figured that this would be as good as any for my first post on Lemmy - showing off the entire Discworld Collector's Library series that I managed to purchase from BookDepository.com before Amazon shut it down. Was able to pickup the whole series for around $500 USD. So glad I was able to get these and never figured I would own the complete set of these nice hardback editions.
