@xgranade "Necessary but not sufficient" applies to so damn much.
I had a blast DJ'ing at #emfcamp on Sunday night. Went very well considering it was my first time doing it in person instead of on the internet.
@jtruk caught this absolutely incredible slow motion footage during it, which might be my favourite EMF shot of all time. Charles, Rob, and Dimitri really nailed the effect timings. phenomenal.
If dumping RAM on Qualcomm-powered feature phones wasn't over-the-top enough for getting UI screenshots, the same process with JTAG might just be!
Memory searching and JTAG test points were utilized on the #Samsung SGH-X427m and Gravity TXT to get clean rips of their interfaces.
So, diode.zone is asking people to look for other peertube homes ... Can anyone recommend a well-moderated, queer-friendly instance for my somewhat rarely published video content?
I have one music video so far that I'd like to keep on the web, and possibly some other music-related stuff to come, probably mostly music videos.
It is absolutely true that individual action fails as a model for social change, and that's at least doubly true for yelling at folks to go take on that change. At the same time, there's often no path to a systemic solution that doesn't at least partially pass through individual action.
In tech, issues as wide ranging as privacy infringements and DRM have been so widely disparaged as nerd problems that it's almost impossible to get any traction on systemic or individual change.
PSA for any trans person getting feminising gender-affirming hormone therapy through the NHS
Most NHS gender clinics across the UK have heavily restrictive oestradiol (estradiol; E2) target ranges, which are not in line with international best practice or guidance 😮💨
Some target as low as 200 to 400 pmol/L (54 to 109 pg/mL).
Many target an arbitrary, narrow 400 to 600 pmol/L (109 to 163 pg/mL) range.
Only a couple are more in line with international guidance, using a wider 350 to 750 pmol/L (95 pg/mL to 204 pg/mL).
If you test above their range, they will typically reduce your E2 dose, even if you feel better with a higher E2 level.
As such, it is always morally justified to take steps to make your E2 level lower when they demand a blood test to stop your dose being lowered ✊

Shorter version of my earlier thread:
Things in tech likely won't get better without at least one component of that improvement involving more people using Linux. That is a valid but incomplete and not universally applicable mitigation to many but not all of the valid problems raised with Windows and macOS.
You just don't have to be a reply-guy about it, though. Offer support where that support is welcome and asked for, and practice empathy always.
Anfang des Jahres habe ich eine kritische Barriere in der iOS-App des E-Rezept gemeldet, durch die Nutzer*innen von VoiceOver beim Anzeigen von ausführlicheren Informationen zu Medikamenten oder einem Rezept in der App gefangen werden und nichts mehr tun können.
Der Bug ist immer noch nicht gefixt - der Aufwand dafür wäre wahrscheinlich wenige Stunden.
Stattdessen kann man jetzt Apple Memoji als Profilbild in der App einstellen. Prioritäten von Nichtbehinderten. #Inklusion #Barrierefreiheit
I like it when you take a picture and accidentally make birdsong seem visible. #birds #birdsong #photography #SongSparrow
one of the largest science buildings is now rationing CO2 because we have turned away so many gas deliveries. Maybe the scabs still working will have to stop their experiments anyway
@whitequark @mcc "The Recall team didn't make a conscious decision to exclude DRMed content" is relevant to the conversation about whether they put any thought into what they should be recording or not
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
