If you've ever wondered why I do not value academia highly as an institution for technical innovation, this is a pretty good example of why.

So fucking typical. I am so sick of this happening over and over again to what could have been interesting resilient/community tech.
"Roofnet, a real mesh network deployment [...] Open participation without central planning [...] No central control over topology [...] Roofnet's technology formed the basis for Meraki, a mesh networking startup founded by members of MIT's Parallel and Distributed Operating Systems group. Meraki was acquired by Cisco Systems in 2012. [...] Since then, Meraki discontinued this public service, though many access points remain active, but with no connection to the Internet. [...] Cisco Meraki is a cloud-managed IT company headquartered in San Francisco, California. Their products include wireless, switching, security, enterprise mobility management (EMM) and security cameras, all centrally managed from the web."

AGAB, subpost but this time it's on main
I'm tired of people using AMAB (assigned male at birth) and AFAB (assigned female at birth) as a glorified replacement for MTF (male to female) and FTM (female to male)
the latter terms are much more obviously bad but people still keep using the former ones like they're somehow also good
like by AGAB (assigned gender at birth) do you mean:
people perceived as "biologically X" (note: does not necessarily match assigned gender)
people raised as a certain gender
people with certain genotypes (chromosomes and genes contained within them)
people with certain phenotypes (secondary sex characteristics)
people with certain genitals or reproductive organs
I'm not listing everything
like you're oversimplifying in the same harmful ways cis people do, so, stop
a few others while we're at it: the opposite of AMAB is not AFAB, and vice/versa (not all people are forced to conform to a binary gender at birth)
if you find yourself using any term as a substitute for "biologically X", then you're doing what cis people do, and you should stop. do use these terms to point out the way that cis people oppress, but don't use them as if they're actually representing any meaningful class of people, because I promise to you that any perceived benefit is not worth it

Tussen de 73.000 en 175.000 huishoudens in Nederland lopen het risico op vervoersarmoede, becijferde onderzoeksinstituut TNO deze week. Dat betekent dat je door te hoge brandstofkosten en weinig openbaar vervoer in jouw buurt niet overal kan komen, zoals het ziekenhuis of andere voorzieningen. Ook kun je soms een baan niet aannemen die je eigenlijk wil graag zou willen. Pointer liet eerder al zien wat dit voor mensen betekent:

So, I'm sure this is a thing, but I know nothing.
I'm looking for a fictional historical account of how the world would be if the English, and specifically only the English, never colonized the Americas. Everyone else who did is allowed.
It's just something I've been thinking about recently for some reason.

Hello people. Here is my yearly post. This time I come bearing a gift in form of a keygen for a PlayStation 2 game Colin McRae Rally 04. You can find it here: https://p4t.xyz/keygen/
Warning: it is a complete keygen experience (has tracker music, but no malware)

Mijn sportschoenen trokken krom en krompen, nadat ik per ongeluk de wasmachine op drogen had gezet. Nu wil ik ze opnieuw kopen, want ze waren fantastisch, maar zijn ze nergens ter wereld meer verkrijgbaar.
Salomon S/Lab Sense 8 SG (Soft Ground) - maat 42. Wie ze kan vinden, mag mij tippen!

one thing glaringly missing from most leftist, including trans takes on fatphobia and fat activism is the barrier to care many trans people face due to unnecessary BMI limits on gender affirming surgeries.
