It's international women's day.

While you're talking about solidarity, don't forget:
- trans women
- disabled women
- Black Women, Indigenous Women, and Women of Colour
- women in prisons
- women with addiction issues
- old and elderly women
- women who are sex workers

...the list goes on.

Remember all the women who are ignored and forgotten, even on days they're meant to be remembered.

We should try harder to organize the activists and social movements on other digital platforms, #Mastodon being the first option. There are countries where mainstream media is almost completely controlled by a small group of corrupt elite.People in anti-democratic countries where the rule of law and right to free speech are not respected need to be guided toward alternative platforms as soon as possible. Authoritarian governments will benefit from #Twitter's demise unless we succeed in this.

hey can any #trans people in #newjersey who changed their name recently (in the past two or so years) get in touch with me i have some questions i need cleared up-

Zo'n 10 jaar geleden kon ik die dingen nog horen. Ik wist niet wat het was, behalve luid en irritant. Ik belde de politie om te vertellen dat het alarm van het winkelcentrum afging. Zij hoorden niks. We lokaliseerden de bron en de agenten legden me uit wat het apparaatje was. Het concepte wekte weerzin.

De volgende dag heb ik een ladder meegenomen en de draad van het apparaatje doorgeknipt terwijl ik zwaaide naar de beveiligingscamera.

one final computer history question: why are Intel processors little endian? Why were some other processors big endian?

Mostly interested in pre-1980 reasons (before the internet)

I'd love citations / links if possible -- I got a lot of guesses and speculation in replies to the last computer history question.

Don't participate in the expansion of the surveillance state and prison industrial complex, ya'll.

At the *very* least, stop paying for that Ring doorbell subscription.

Remember kids; there is no propaganda in the west. It's only propaganda if it comes from the Propaganda region of the former USSR; everywhere else it's called sparkling advertising.

In the interest of science and community, let me break this down for you:

Heat pumps are the most efficient way to heat a building. Period. They move energy from one place to another at a rate four times what they consume, sometimes more. Many of them can move heat in both directions, meaning they can also provide cooling. That's a fun little bonus which you may or may not choose to use, but I will say that given long-term implications of climate change, you might want that handy.

You know what would be the single best upgrade you could make to a pinball machine today?

Make it cheaper.

Pinball being as expensive as it is makes it a rich man's hobby, with all the toxic problems that go along with that. At the same time, game rules have gotten so complex that they're impenetrable to those who haven't grown up with pinball - which is, remember, most people.

Meanwhile I have a cat sitting on my shoulder that thinks she's a parrot and I'm a pirate.

Harrrrrr-prrrr-meow.
