the thing that always cracks me up about some romantic dramas is how there is a trope of forbidden love and the couple is. white allocishet abled neurotypical man and woman with barely any age gap.

seriously: a lot of “multilingual programming” stuff seems to focus around esoteric languages where all the keywords are replaced with a different language’s keywords.

But what if we didn’t have to go that far? What if the focus was to let folks write in their natural, preferred input method without having to switch to “special” ascii range characters that just won’t look right?

What if we just use the stuff that Unicode is already providing us, like character tags and equivalence rules, to make things easier for folks outside the tech-privileged sphere?

For all you nonbelievers, I’m genuinely trying to make this happen now, because kdl 2.0 is hella scope creeped already so why not

Anyway come join the discussion if you have some thoughts. The most compelling thing anyone said was when @janl said this would bring the language out of the 70s. Let’s explore the space!!

Yes. This is a callout to people thinking that they aren’t doing all they can, or those thinking that they should be doing more for whatever ails you.

The TL;DR is that I wouldn't trust anything from "Salvydas Lukosius" or "ss-o" or "z-shell" or "digital-clouds".

At best, they're an inexperienced developer who cares more about looking like an experienced, trusted developer than they do actually becoming one.

At worst, they are some kind of scammer.

I have yet to take a deeper look into the zi source code, but even without that I can safely say the whole project is extremely sus.

So how do you install this?

Well it's easy, you just...wait, you WHAT?

You um...you add a curl directly to your .zshrc. You're sourcing this from the website _every time you open a shell_.

That's gotta be the slowest possible option, to say nothing about the security concerns.

now I may not be (minority), but as a huge Ally, anti-(bigoted position), and all-around fan of the (minority) community, I would LOVE to be invited to the "Get Together For (Minority) Only Where We Celebrate Having Our Own Space For Once" group. I know I haven't been explicitly invited yet, but I'm sure I will as soon as they realize they could even be half as welcoming as I am :) and if not, no worries! but I will be sure to publicly yet indirectly complain about how excluded I feel as an Ally

please boost!

need to figure out a way to receive mutual aid donations under peculiar circumstances. two separate questions:

1. does patreon allow withdrawing money through bank wire? that's the only damn thing that works for me.
2. anyone got experience with payoneer? is it suitable for this?

no, paypal and stripe do not work for reasons i can't resolve at the moment or at all.

"Alle gemeenten moeten vanaf 2026 concrete plannen hebben voor meer staanplaatsen voor woonwagenbewoners en die kunnen verantwoorden aan het Rijk. Dat zegt het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken na vragen van NU.nl over een kritisch rapport over het stelselmatig achterstellen van woonwagenbewoners."

fun fact: if you have a laptop or desktop that has an intel cpu with "vPro" on the sticker there's a chance the management engine in your CPU is just hosting a web server at all times.

It's at port 16992

I've been involved with the Internet continuously pretty much since its earliest ancestor ARPANET days at UCLA ARPANET site #1.

I can assure you that the ARPANET and the Internet into which it evolved were NOT designed to provide a means for a handful of powerful AI firms to suck the world dry without permission or compensation of information en masse, that has mostly been put online for free as a public service, all to enrich the coffers and stockholders of those firms, while giving only lip service (if that) to ethical considerations, and giving the sites from which they slurp data the finger, while laughing all the way to the bank.

Hey do any of my followers in the UK need a binder? I bought a binder fucking years ago when I first came out as trans and I just didn't really feel it and I've been holding onto it ever since because it was expensive and I didn't want to just throw it away without being sure I didn't want a binder

But I really do need to just let it go I think, I can't really wear it because of how my body has changed since then and rather than throwing it I figured I'd let someone else have a chance at using it

It's a 2xl grey gc2b full vest binder, it's got some loose stitching here and there because of my fat ass tryna put it on when I'd clearly outgrown it but it's basically never been worn for any length of time so it still looks pretty new.
I'm happy to send it out for free if you just cover shipping. Please please boost this so I can try and get this to someone who needs it more than me
