This #ColorWheel uses exactly five pigments of #WaterColor paint, including beautiful cobalt blue on the right. Cobalt is a bit tricky to work with because it granulates and has a much lower tinting strength than phthalo blue. Cobalt blue is more vivid and plays really well with other colors. It mixes gorgeously vivid purples and earthy yet still vivid textured greens. 8” square on Arches cotton paper.

And then you'll have to gently infer that over nine tenths of what computer people do is a pointless scam, and honestly not very many people are ready for that conversation

Yes the liebots are a problem! If a normal person sees a chatbot answering questions in a reasonable sounding way, they won't think "I bet this thing's got no idea what it's talking about!" Why would they? It's only weirdos and computer freaks like us that do that! Normal, reasonable people, if you tell them hey watch out this thing lies a lot, will go "Pfft why would a search engine program a robot to lie, that'd be a bizarre and pointless thing to do."

I've kept this away from here, mainly because the last time I posted about it on 🐦, people tried to get me fired, and I'm scared they'll do the same again, but;

TERFs have no place on Wikipedia, where they push their hateful ideology onto not only articles, but those brave few openly trans editors. They especially have no place in any position of trust, where they too often make biased decisions and get away with abusing LGBTQ+ editors.

Microsoft: lol yeah this thing lies or makes stuff up all the damn time but we decided to go live with it anyway, don't trust it, it's a trickster when it's not a dumbass

Right there in the faq, that's... certainly a decision

If anyone wants more context on tech.lgbt and eightpoint.app, or is condemning tech.lgbt's decision without being clear on the history of eightpoint >

"An appeals court on Tuesday prohibited the Netherlands’ military police from using racial profiling as a way of selecting people for identity checks at borders, marking a victory for two citizens and rights groups who sued the government."

Hello people of the Fediverse. I generally don't like talking about my problems online but I've been struggling with my #gender identity for almost 3 years now and i just can't ignore it anymore.

Does anyone know some good scientific sources of information for potentially #transgender people and/or accounts to follow here on the Fediverse?

By scientific i mean studies and/or articles that explain what happens #biologically to trans people causing their mind to be disconnected from their body.
