so fuck it, i said. i will call myself by my name. i will dye my hair blue. i will abandon my deadname. i will jack off without shame to the porn i like. i will ask out that guy i wanted to. i will draw. i will play my guitar and write my furry queer stories. i will learn how to sew, how to fistfight, how to breakdance. i will finish that book i wanted to read. i will say things i believe out loud and won't hide anymore.

related to the current state of the world
i was in a voice call with my family (real family, not blood family) today, and we were talking about life and i said "you know, i usually resign and just cry about it with no hope...but...so much shit in the world happened recently, and i was like, well if it is all going to shit, and there's no going back from that, well, then fuck it. i want to fight. i want to live and do what i want now, because who knows when else i will have that time?"

i find it funny how you can just inject hormones into yourself and your body is gonna be like that guy at the factory line meme and be like "i guess we're a woman/man now"
the bcachefs thing, abusive behaviour and CoCs
Honestly, every time you see someone claiming "I got banned for doing X and that is unfair/absurd!" your first instinct should be to go to the source and find the actual documented rationale for the ban, because 99 out of a 100 times it's going to be a *very* different story.
the bcachefs thing, abusive behaviour and CoCs
*looks at post by the developer defending himself*
*sees a reference to an incident in the Python ecosystem*
"Hm, that seems like an absurd reason to ban someone, I should probably check whether that incident actually happened as they claim"
(It did not happen as they claim in the Python case and there was the usual laundry list of CoC violations being reduced down to "all they did was X!", ie. the standard tactical abuser playbook)

sort of a subtoot
I am *really* not looking forward to The Usual Suspects misusing that "cookie parsing is broken" article to start pushing for centralized authentication systems and dangerously broken crypto like JWTs again, instead of recognizing that we just need to get cookie handling fixed

ai, programming discourse
> I don’t get how you can see some of the world’s best programmers use a new technology to make them better at programming and shrug it off.
the world's best programmers have spent decades teaching me that our field serves power before anything else. all my work is conditioned by their enthusiastic embrace of rent seeking, the cloud, & totalized surveillance - building blocks for both the current AI state of affairs & a looming authoritarian nightmare.

OH “if you stay for more than three hours in this train, you would end up in Venlo. Nothing wrong with Venlo, but I would recommend finding another much quicker travel route.”

I just realized that the CD/DVD ripping setup I'm currently using is ingesting an average of 24 gigabytes every 8 minutes and that's ... notable

@joepie91 Apparently this is very difficult to get right because iOS suffers from the same problem.
Also wake up alarms.
Strangely enough, my old Nokia N97 which I used until 2014 didn’t have any of these issues.

Fun Ferry Facts / Vermakelijke Veermanfeitjes
If you are born on the island of Texel, the first time going by ferry to Den Helder is free. There is no ticket sale or ticket inspection for the ferry on Texel.

Things don't "fall into the public domain" at the end of their copyright term, Ugh.
Once released from copyright, works Ascend into the glorious ranks of the public domain, fulfilling their rightful destiny as part of the cultural heritage of humanity!

you know what, i don't even care how good AI is at coding. if the literal ghost of Donald fucking Knuth showed up at my desk and started typing my code for me, i'd tell him to fuck off back to his grave. It's *my* code and *I* want to do the coding.

What the absolute fuck: https://yossarian.net/til/post/some-surprising-code-execution-sources-in-bash
In short: [[ "$foo" -eq whatever ]] in bash can run arbitrary code.
That looks like something that can realistically trigger in a lot of scripts.
(also test -v, but I barely ever see that one used)
Edit: This also happens in zsh 5.9 (but the referenced variable needs to exist) and mksh

Auspol, teen social media ban, my submission
The irony is that I spent more effort and time on my submission than they did on the bill.
