I'm one of those edge cases that thinks encodings & formats are political, bc the act of bounding what and how things should exist just... is... but beyond a few format art pieces I don't know any good way to teach them. do I know anyone that does?

Building a gender centrifuge cascade for the purpose of producing enriched gender.

another call for left unity implying that "dividing the left" is for the privileged. actually, it's a luxury to be able to treat genocide denial/apologism and defense of incarceration as abstract differences of opinion.

i worry that people will think it's linux's fault when my computer doesn't work when it's actually my fault.

sex work idk 

Hi all.

My gf just got shadow-banned from Reddit for doing sex work there (NSFW pictures and commissions of the same), and she really needs to find a safe place online to do that now. I don't know much about that world, but if anyone could help us out that would be really appreciated. ❤️

Got an email from Meetup. They've finally zeroed in on the sort of groups I'd be interested in.

When I was a kid, they made being smart sound like it was the most important quality of a human being. Turns out that was a crock of shit.

capitalism observation, "torment nexus", death mention, fascism mention, squid game 

it's funny how there are shitloads of cautionary and historical tales about ppl being forced to fight each other to the death (tributes of panem, gladiator, etc), all of whom have basically fascists as the antagonists, and noone would have ever considered turning these into a reality show, bc that's just so bad and terrible and yea don't make the torment nexus.

but then a show of exactly this type comes up, except their fascist antagonists are neolib-painted and have a happy corporate style, and suddenly it is acceptable to turn it into a reality show.

the lesson is that making a story about ppl being murdered "real" is socially acceptable as long as the murderers are neolibs

The problem with having ADHD in this society is that I need accommodations to help me advocate to get the diagnosis to be able to get accommodations with

Especially because they (intentionally??) set the system up in such a way that the people who need it the most have the most difficulty accessing it

Please I literally have an executive function disorder please don't make me do things that require initiative and checking in to make sure I have /actually/ been put on the years-long waitlist

surprised no one's drawn much of a link between the state health and social care has been in in the UK over the past couple decades and the fact all the jobs going unfilled are the ones that require able bodied people

In amsterdam east, nice neighbourhood, part of a cool collective, near train and trams stops.

Would be cool to see another hackspace there. :)

whether you're cis or trans, if you accept trans people but ignore or think less of or ditch the ones who aren't cheery all the time, aren't your idea of a "cute trans person", or have struggles that require you to accommodate them, you're actually still just a transphobe

my bank has a Pride theme so now when I open the app there's a rainbow next to my deadname

Something that I don't see enough here:

Non-binary people don't owe anybody androgyny.

Did you know that the dream of a universal computing and application platform that works on any device, regardless of operating system, actually already exists and works?

They're called browsers.

Did you know that the dream of fully hot-swappable interchangeable software components that don't require architectural reworks, actually already exists and works?

They're called 'small modules' in JS.

I think that instead of constantly getting bogged down in minor complaints and superficial tech "in-crowd" affiliations, people should more often take a step back and look at the bigger picture; and realize that maybe there's actually something to these much-maligned technologies.
