i feel like a really dangerous part of transmedicalist rhetoric is the idea that you have to have yourself figured out to be trans. Think of all the stories that always come up with trans people in the media about how "they knew they were a (woman/man) since they were a young child". I'm sure this is the case for many trans people but it's also not reflective of many other trans experiences and creates the narrative that "true" trans people have their gender figured out, thus restricting others from figuring themselves out and getting the care they need. Plus as many others have pointed out it invalidates non-binary people. Transmedicalism is just another arm of the patriarchy used to enforce gender roles and should be treated as such.

i love liberals (/s) for the damage they made to society by convincing it that public transport can't work outside of cities

yes it can and it does or did before public transport was systematically deprived of financing and proper management

lol

Want vooruitgang is niet apolitiek. Vooruitgang voor de één is achteruitgang voor de ander. In dit geval: de vooruitgang in arbeidsproductiviteit en “goedkope arbeid” is een achteruitgang geweest voor arbeiders. En dat de machtsverhoudingen tegen vooruitgang zijn geënt. https://www.doorbraak.eu/middenklasse-correspondent-weigert-zowel-verslechteringen-als-onze-strijd-voor-verbeteringen-waar-te-nemen/

You know what I dont even care about a browser fully implementing web standards. Whoever makes a browser that animates every website at like 5% speed with little guys running out into the internet to go bring back the pictures and stuff them into place, little goblins that push the page elements around to animate them, and you adblock by Mario stomping the tracking demons as they try and steal your clicks and stuff... I will use that browser no matter how completely busted it is

"I want you to imagine someone for me. Her name is Jessica and she is 17 years old...."

For years, "A Story About Jessica" (a computer security parable @SwiftOnSecurity wrote, published on their Tumblr in 2014) was pretty hard to find.

Per the CC BY license, I've now republished it so it's easier to discover and reference.

I am on a bus. The bus has tables!!

When did this happen?!

"this game runs at 60 frames per second using a technique called 'lying'"

Stepping outside of tech and academic research has shown me a very different view of culture, namely one that runs on Word, copy-and-paste, Google Drive, and everything that isn't git+{markdown,latex}+{vscode,sublime,*} sort of life.

That view has me more scared than ever about the negative impact of AI hype trains.

Every kind of word processor has pretty much moved to more and more proprietary formats, more and more online-only and subscription-based, and thus correspondingly more towards a model in which your word processor is *the* gateway via which you can view your own work.

That kind of capture puts creative work directly in the sights of AI exploitation.

That's not to say that I necessarily think that Word or Google Docs or Zoho or whichever trains AI on everything you write. The legal implications of that alone are staggering to contemplate.

What I do mean is that creative work is more and more in someone else's database. If they're not training on your work now, how long until a slump quarter makes that look really attractive?

Today's video is all about shitposting! What's the difference between a shitpost and misinformation? What do researchers have to say about shitposting? Is shitposting just for fascists, or can the Left play, too? And finally, DID JD Vance fuck a couch? https://skepchick.org/2024/07/jd-vance-the-couch-the-ethics-of-sposting/
