Is there a website where I could find information on travelling with “mismatching” genitals and gender marker?

Specifically interested in airports/countries where this might be an issue.

Positive stories also welcome!

this has to be the most hilarious popup i've had ever #Obsidian

I'm sure this has been said before, but why aren't servers in the #Fediverse simply called "communities?"

"Join a community" or "start a community" feels both accurate and clear, not to mention welcoming. People who want to understand the infrastructure would have no trouble finding the information.

Let's not cheer for a company that attempted to assert that APIs were independently copyrightable

Did you know! US federal legal filings are publicly available via PACER, but cost money. The RECAP extension (https://free.law/recap) uploads any PACER downloads you make to https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/ where they're freely available. Also, if your PACER balance is under $30 in a quarter, it's written off. If everyone who reads this uploaded $29 of stuff to RECAP every quarter, way more material in the public interest would be publicly available. Is there any way to organise this?

they say autistic people take things literally but they're thinking of kleptomaniacs

Won't fix, not a bug, works as intended.

You never saw any photos of the surface of Mars back then either, but I'm pretty sure it was still there the whole time

Imagine if you could rapidly detect COVID-19 in public places by testing the air. Now you can! Researchers have developed a groundbreaking new air monitor that can detect the presence of an infected person in as little as 5 minutes. (1/3) 🧵

The name we give threads.net is yet another way Facebook is being given special consideration, in addition to its abysmal record which would disqualify ANY other instance from the moderated parts of the fedi. Why does threads.net get to be called by its brand name, which many have pointed out is a corporate overreach of mindshare, instead of its full domain name like, oh, idk, every other goddamned instance?

No instance gets to be just Mastodon, even mastodon dot-fucking social gets abbreviated to .social and mastodon.art gets to be .art at best. They don't get to be Social or Art, and threads.net doesn't get to be #Threads either.

Why not call it #ThreadsNet or #ThreadsDotNet? Maybe #InstaThreads? Do it to push back at the corporate grab at the linguistic commons. Do it to flex on Mark Zuckerberg. Do it for the poor fiber artists who can't get proper filters. C'mon.

No, recruiters.

I do not want to be part of a "challenging" team.

I'm in my mid-50s. I want to be part of a "mature" team, a "powerful" team with a large and well-managed "throughput", a "structured" team that knows how to use processes to quickly and accurately handle the Same Stuff Happens Every Week so that when someone else comes screaming in with their ass on fire babbling about something someone else broke and We Need To Document This Thing NOW NOW NOW, one or two of us can calmly turn from our current tasks, neatly and quickly handle La Emergencia, and calm the panicked person's heartrate without raising our own.

I'm old. Fuck "ambition". I just want a good paycheck and no dumbass "this REALLY could have been avoided" hasslepanic.

y'know if making music was as easy as plugging an audio cable into my brain and exporting what's already in my head i'd be a fuckin pro

i come up with such cool shit i have absolutely no way to translate to reality lmao

Got some PCBs for a keyboard I'm working on in today. Still waiting on some parts and need to finish the case design, but I'm very excited about this

I know, the Memory tool 💾 can look quite intimidating.

But, hear me out!

If you're looking for a memory leak, record 2 snapshots, and use the comparison feature. This helps focus on what changed only and filters out the noise! 🤫
