wanna know something really fun?
one of Spain's biggest ISPs is blocking connectivity to -all Cloudflare- on the hours when the Spanish football league plays because some pirate streaming servers operate behind them

ACAB
farmer's delight is an amazing one. makes cooking and farming so actually fun and is also very aesthetically pleasing. there are many submods for it that add even more food!
another good one is create if you like steampunk stuff or like making various builds with mechanisms and automation. it's an analog to redstone that uses clockwork and cogwheels.
biomes o'plenty and oh the biomes you'll go are also astonishingly cool
This is weird. I apparently have the NFSU2 soundtrack in FLAC format, and it has an EAC ripping log, describing how it was ripped from a 2CD release.
There's just one problem: to my knowledge, there has never existed a CD release of the NFSU2 soundtrack!

anti-trans violence, gatekeeping
the fascists want to murder and forcefully detransition us.
the conservatives want to just deny us access to care and legal rights or gatekeep us to hell and back.
the "nice" liberal "allies" still want to gatekeep and force us into waiting lists in underprovisioned medical systems, dependent on professionals that mostly don't know shit and don't care to learn.
this is why we don't talk about rights, we talk about liberation. this is why we want folks to have the knowledge and resources to take charge of their own care and why we're trying to learn more about how to take charge of ours.

warning for trans folks under "professional" medical care, HRT
blindly trusting doctors with your care as a trans person is dangerous. if you don't have the ability to check their work ask other trans folks who are more knowledgeable. we have heard repeatedly of doctors prescribing way too low or way too high dose of hormones. for transfeminine people doctors often prefer to keep estradiol levels relatively low cause they are afraid of side effects while prescribing high doses of anti-androgens or progestins with a worse risk profile.
it's our firm belief that if you're well informed and careful DIY HRT is safer than blindly trusting a random doctor and not appreciably more dangerous than trusting a doctor you have good reason to believe is knowledgeable and trustworthy. the problem is vetting a doctor requires knowledge that you would also need to take charge of your own care.

hey is there like, a social template for writing to a company and asking "what are your values, how sustainable is your revenue model, basically what safeguards do you have to prevent becoming a haven for bigots/selling out to some rapacious venture capital firm who will then scrap it for parts and start charging customers out the ass?"
i was just going to, like, write that, but is there some better way to go about it?

uspol, Seattle children’s hospital
So not only the #Seattle Children’s Hospital illegally suspend gender affirming care for those 19 and younger
not only did they remove gender affirming care materials from their website
they removed those gender affirming care materials from their website on January 16th, 4 days before the inauguration and nearly a week before the Executuve Order they are allegedly complying with was signed.

Hey #Portland #RetroComputing folks: The place I store much of my stuff was burglarized, trashed, and many items were stolen. The most valuable was a NeXTstation Turbo Color.
If you see one floating around, please let me know.
I don't have the serial number or anything identifying, other than the HDD is failed :(
