mod that randomly makes pawns realize they are trans after psychic drones don't affect them as expected

it would be an absolute shame if anybody misused this portal the german police set up exclusively for snitching on the people responsible for the NYE riots in #berlin #b3112 which the right and ofc also the center are now using to dig up their favorite racist stereotypes about migrant youth...

@joepie91 @amberage @mmin I've used an analogy that seems apt: tourists coming to a small town with a rich history, and saying all it needs is freeway access, some starbucks, and a walmart and maybe people can start living here

can you all CW your posts on US electoral politics? not because they're disturbing, but because they're boring as fuck and I don't care about them at all

Hey cis friends, have you ever fantasized about being a different gender? Any context: sex or cool clothes or whatever, no shame attached.

Some trans folks I've talked to think everyone questions their gender, but the few cis folks I've asked either say no, or only a tiny handful of times.

If none of these choices make sense for you, my DMs are open. (Edit: See also the secondary poll below, which has more options.)

Trans friends, please sit this one out, but please do boost for reach.

i solemnly swear as types admin that i'm going to hold off the gentrification of this fucking network as long as i physically can

It is taking an absurd amount of time and reading of documentation to figure out how to go from "AppStream is a format that exists" to "I have a full dataset of packages and metadata about them"

considering that we'll likely never see the prince of persia original artwork again after it disappears into a private collection, here's a lightly cleaned up version of the scan done by the auctioneer.

yeah, it would have been nice to have a professional art restorer do a proper clean up of the faded edges, but in the absence of that, a 300 dpi jpeg ain't bad.

enjoy!

I'm willing to pay up to $10,000 (USD), to whomever I need to pay, to solve the #GNOME AT keyboard input handling problem once and for all. Currently, toolkits implementing AT-SPI have to pass all keyboard events to the AT-SPI registry, then wait for a response on whether the event should be processed as usual. No other platform does something like this, and this unique platform-specific requirement is a major complication for #AccessKit. I want to get this fixed. #accessibility

meta, humorous 

I kind of love how cross-posters have established the convention of acting like twitter.com is actually a federated instance, as in @example@twitter.com. Feels like a great little nose thumbing, honestly.

Isn't it remarkable how *every single time* some asshat tries to fuck with the fediverse by corporatizing or full-text-indexing it, they *always* justify it by saying "well it's inevitable, it'll happen eventually", apparently not realizing that *they are the one making it happen*.

further funmaking of that hilarious realname corpo instance equel.social 

Algorithmic feeds and fuzzy search are both inevitable mainstream features as the ecosystem grows. People need those to be able to use the platform effectively.

good thing i'm not people because i've been using the Fediverse rather effectively without any of those things thank you very much!

@freakazoid @haskal @alasaarela@equel.social "venture capitalist startups" versus "corporate overlords" forms a distinction in achievements, not in intentions.

nothing, shitpost 

it's nice they sell weighed blankets but also, I have a scale at home, i can put it on there myself
