Hey cis folks, just a little advice. If someone reveals to you that they are trans, describing your processing as "mourning the past-you" feels really not great. I'm still right here. I'm still me. It's just a change in context around me.
And in the trans community there are lots of folks we have actually lost early that deserve to be mourned and remembered.
Processing is fine. it's big it's messy it takes people time. But coming out is a moment to celebrate and welcome and love, not mourn.
Also, want to bet that "enshittification" is going to be used as an argument for "reasonable capitalism" or some other such nonsense, which seeks to "curb the excesses", ie. prevent privileged folks from getting harmed by it while doing fuck all for anyone else?
"Enshittification" is just "privileged people are finally starting to feel the implications of capitalism that everybody else has had to deal with forever"

re: rant, people boosting screenshots of fash tweets written by fash
like, you think you're followed by fash who see this 'own' and they're like 'oh shit they're right, how silly of us, we should stop being fascists'?
no! fucking bellend!
I'm sometimes surprised that I'm not following someone, thinking that I was - because it feels like I've been seeing all their toots in my timeline... they're just all boosts 🙃

rant, people boosting screenshots of fash tweets written by fash
oh it happened again... another day another person blocked for boosting a post that's just a screenshot of some horrid fascist bilge on twitter, with a lazy one-line commentary added as an 'own'
you are literally just spreading fascist propaganda you fucking tool, you are just further traumatizing people who are already targeted by fascists! how can you not see that! fucking hell!
re: meta, facebook
Like so many other thinkpieces on this topic, it fails the absolute lowest bar of "acknowledges and addresses the frequently-raised concerns", and if it doesn't even do *that*, how could I possibly trust the author to have an accurate take on the situation?
meta, facebook
I have difficulty taking any post of 'federation considerations' seriously that is built on the premise that federation will "make the fediverse visible to Facebook users", because like, I see no reason to assume that that's the case, and quite a few to assume that it won't be

Have you ever wanted to make a "you wouldn't steal a car" meme, but been disappointed with how lame the existing meme editors are?

re: music, ageism
Bonus points for the dude who was highlighting how "back in the day we had to work for it, like pointing out how bad and mainstream Tiesto and Armin van Buuren were"
... under a video of the first 'mainstream' trance concert, by Tiesto
music, ageism
I quite like mid-2000s trance but holy shit the community around it is toxic. "Today's kids don't know what real music is" and similar shit all over the place

Warning! The new Thunderbird 115 and the most recent Thunderbird 116 betas are a mess in terms of accessibility, and the issues affect NVDA and JAWS equally. Even expanding/collapsing folders via Left/Right generates huge delays and triggers the CPU, and tabbing around the interface is a pain. The older Thunderbird 102 has none of this. Definitely avoid these releases if you want no hiccups. Just wondering what's happening on the other side of Mozilla.

I think we have given hateful and bigoted instances more than enough opportunities to change their ways and not be sources of abuse and harm.
So now they are going to adapt to us.
And expecting people to have a standard of basic decency and decorum is not too much to ask.
It's the bottom rung of the lowest ladder of human interaction.

I'm not a centrist.
I don't believe there are legitimate 'two sides' to the moderation and safety debate.
There are people who believe in safety, and there are those who will not respect the agency and boundaries of people they dislike and try to harm them because of it.
There is no 'middle ground' when it comes to respecting the autonomy and boundaries of another person. I am not 'negotiating' how much harm is acceptable.
If your version of 'fairness' requires marginalized and targeted communities to be 'reasonable' and 'understanding' of places that cause harm, you're in the wrong place.

#riscv diehards and nerds, has anyone you know of or have you yourself ever seen or used the XCalibyte risc-v laptop? I am thoroughly convinced that the whole thing was a vaporware crypto scam given everything the company stated. I am curious to see if I'm wrong, and if not, to track down what that story really is.
