@f0x I think you have a case of academic kink

much like 2020, a lot of "the left" is ignoring the need for drastic action that needs to be taken wrt attacks on queer people and reproductive autonomy. don't pay attention to people telling you that we need some ultimate "mass movement" all we have is now and right here
@TakeV Almost certainly nowhere near as much as is spent on unnecessary *work*, such as nearly all analytics, marketing and advertising related work.

We've literally got shortages of the materials used to make a load of technology, and corporations are manufacturing non-serviceable, and even disposable versions of that technology.
Fucking capitalism.
re: no context
@maia Then again I am 0% surprised that some Google service's Dutch translation is bad
re: no context
@maia (And if it were an *appointment*, then it wouldn't make sense to say you've been "invited to", because it's something you *made* yourself :p)
re: no context
@maia Oof. That's a bad translation - they seem to have translated 'meeting' to 'afspraak', but that only really makes sense if it's an *appointment*, rather than some sort of collective meeting, which you'd generally translate to "vergadering" (and then the sentence would be correct)
no context
@maia That doesn't even make sense in Dutch

y’all where is the safest place for lgbtqia people in the carribbean
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev And of course "stranger danger" itself has historically mostly been a conservative political hobbyhorse rather than a genuine significant risk...
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev The bigger problem with that 'education' IMO is that "who" was always defined as fellow humans, not exploitative corporations, who it was apparently totes fine to send your blood sample to

lol my fucking (stock AT&T) router ran a whole scan of my network and tried to log into my NAS repeatedly until I got an email from my NAS saying it had blocked a local IP address 😅

Things autism research could be about:
- How does autism radar work?
- Do we have an easier time communucating with other autistics because our ways of communication are similar, or because we've all had to learn to accomodate the people we're talking to?
- What can be done to prevent and treat autistic burnout?
- What even *is* autistic burnout exactly?
- What effects does masking have on your mental health?
- What autistic traits are actually traits of autism, and which ones are trauma responses?
- How is a non-traumatized autistic brain work?
- How can we better accomodate autistic people?
What autism research is about:
- How do we make the autistic people stop existing?

I keep thinking of the reddit post along the lines of "wait, in the US you can actually punch a hole in a wall? i thought when that happened on a tv show, it was like a meta joke on how everything was filmed on a set made of cheap materials, but actually all their walls are like that?"
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev In fact, it's so interesting that a (rare) second-hand unit nowadays can easily sell for more than it used to cost brand new back then!
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev (The Dingoo A320 was generally very interesting in a lot of different ways, defying a lot of assumptions at the time, like how they actively worked together with homebrew developers and encouraged Dingux, a Linux distro for the device - all of this from what was ultimately a cheap off-brand Chinese handheld/mediaplayer. It's also a big but largely unknown part of the heritage of many handheld emulators and "tiny laptops" that exist today.)
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev For context, this was back when ~every "MP4 player" on the market in Europe still required using weird proprietary apps to convert videos to a custom player-compatible format, and smartphones were in their infancy - having an affordable device with such a wide range of natively(!) supported video formats requiring zero transcoding upfront was nothing short of revolutionary
@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev It was apparently a standard feature of the OS it used, and also appeared in a number of other PMPs at the time, but the A320 was the only one that gained any real notoriety. I think they treated it as just another video/animation format
