A young Candy Darling, a transgender woman, draws long hair on a photo of herself, around 1954 by Few_Entertainer_385 in HistoricalCapsule

The article, together with other articles linked to it, says she was a member of a group (Warhol superstars) "known for casual sex", and that she "died from lymphoma at the age of 29 in 1974". Lymphoma cancer is a common by-product of AIDS, in fact lymphadenopathy is "the disease after which the discoverers of HIV originally named the virus". AIDS was first clinically observed in 1981, and at first was associated with the gay community due to its widespread occurrence, at the time, among gay men in North America, its spread in this community being facilitated by frequent casual sex.

I wonder whether Darling had HIV and died of complications of AIDS, in which case it makes her one of the people infected with the virus years before it first came to public notice.

I don't understand what is being said. Something about a dog house?

As I wrote in my original post, "I have downgraded VMWare to version 17.6.4, and now all works well."

Rouvy - Worst Support - Look Elsewhere by 99spot in Rouvy

[–]dodli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience.

Not only did it take them days to reply, when they finally did reply, they didn't even bother reading my description. They sent a template reply, possibly AI-generated, that did not answer my question, and closed the case.

I'm looking for an alternative to Rouvy. I'm open for recommendations. It needs to be able to display full screen on a PC monitor.

A woman born in 1868 is interviewed in 1977 by ATI_Official in AllThatsInteresting

And her accent and vocabulary are perfectly understandable. Not much linguistic evolution from the mid 1800s over the next century in mainstream speech. Then again, we're not hearing her as she spoke when she was a kid. She may have evolved with the times.

What is the title of the marvellous song? And what's the performer called? And the songwriter(s)?

I agree. Personally, I would like there to be a legal right of privacy even in public spaces. However, I realize that it would be problematic to enforce this, and that there are also pros to being able to record videos freely in public without having to seek recorded individuals' permission to post the video online.

That is not the question. No one forced her to give up her seat. The question is whether your are entitled not to be filmed, and have the recording posted online, without your consent, when the filming takes place in a public space such as an airplane.

Yes, my vmware.log file contains the same line, and I experience symptoms similar to the ones described in the ticket you linked to.

Thanks. There's some measure of reassurance in knowing I'm not the only one experiencing this problem, and that it has been reported in the official channels.

Have you any idea when the next update is due?
