@tshirtman @quietmarc @SallyStrange There was a meta data paper where someone studied all the papers on archeological digs as a whole and worked out that something was wrong because something like 80% of all bodies were “male” which obviously isn’t right. So they went back and reexamined findings and basically because gender from physical remains was somewhat guesswork they based gender also on grave goods which, of course, was a circular argument. Now they are better at it (not perfect) so we now have female roman gladiators found in London, Shield Maidens found in the north of England, and a Galli follower of Cybele (trans woman) also in Northern England.

Finally resumed work on my "booleans as a service" platform for enterprise.

In the free edition of the API, a `GET` to `~/Values/True` will return `1`. Rate limits apply.

In the professional tier, you get the features of the free edition, but also, a `GET` to `~/Values/False` will return `0`, plus, rate limits are higher.

In the enterprise edition there are endpoints such as `~/And/1/1` (which returns `1`!), and many more endpoints. All of these, of course, depend on an LLM.

If you support folks on Patreon, make sure you start your subscription on the website rather than via the Patreon app, since in-app payments are subject to extra payment processing fees (it’s *especially* bad on iOS but Android does it too).

Better yet, don’t use dedicated apps for things that should be websites, and also consider using support platforms that care more about actually supporting folks, like ko-fi. Patreon ultimately only cares about how much money comes into Patreon.

So there's a car on my street that's been dumped as far as I can tell (or for sure cannot be moved - because the tires are flat for ages - see pic)

I contacted the Ordnungsamt

You can leave a car as long as you like on the street providing it is not of danger to anyone or not blocking anything 🤷‍♂️

Your child may not feel any form of attraction to other people now or ever. Your child may never feel romantic or sexual attraction to others as they grow up. Your child may fluctuate in their attraction to others, if they feel attracted at all. Your child may feel attraction to others, but in a very limited or restricted way.

This is okay. This is normal. Not everyone grows up to be what society expects us to be. Do not assume that your child will feel attraction, and make sure they understand that not feeling attracted to others is a valid option, despite the heteronormative pressure of society that says otherwise.

After the whole Logitech "subscription mouse" junk I decided to see if there was an open hardware thumb trackball, and there is! I just built a Ploopy Thumb trackball, and the hardest part was soldering on the sensor. I even printed out my own orange buttons. I will mess with the firmware (QMK!) later this week.

Edit: link to kit: https://ploopy.co/shop/thumb-trackball-full-kit/

My point is that you are explicitly taught why you need spare capacity in an MBA so people with MBAs have no excuse for not understanding what getting rid of all the spare capacity will do.

Hey, so, heads up: the shipping packaging for the lgbtunicorns binder I got off of Amazon has the name, website, slogan “my body my rules” and “match your mind with your body” emblazoned on it.

Which, like, could be a problem for a number of people who live in circumstances where discreet packaging (and the lack of it) is a safety concern.

Update: it’s a new(?) Amazon misfeature. Upshot is, we need to tell Amazon to ship some things in packaging vs manufacturer container.
