OH: “I’m not genderfluid, I’m diversifying my gender portfolio”

i wish someone had sat me down and talked to me about boundaries when i was 15 or so. like, my boundaries, not other people's, i did get taught about those. i wish they had told me that if i don't want to do something that isn't a job or a chore, i don't have to do it. that if i don't want to be touched or have sex, it doesn't have to happen. i think that one conversation would've saved me from many bad situations.

i think it's a related, but separate concern from safety. the adults around me talked about safety a lot. but it always assumes there's someone evil who wants to do something bad to you. it's a very simplistic view. people are complex. cartoon villains don't exist.

dunno. i know all that now. it took me longer than it should've.

if i ever have children, making sure they don't have to learn it by trial and error will be one of my top priorities.

I wonder if anyone has a copy of Tatort Episode 430, “Tödliches Labyrinth” (1999) or Episode 691 “Tod einer Heuschrecke” (2008) (they were in parts filmed at c-base)

Whenever some moderator goes "some person shouldn't be doing this to staff member/moderator" I die a little.

There aren't a lot of things that shouldn't be done to member of moderation, that can be done to anyone else in a community. Implying moderation/staff is some protected class deserving more protection from rule breaking behavior is simply disgusting. If someone is harassing or behaving rude - it doesn't matter if its done to a community member or a moderator. You moderate it just the same.

Separating creatures into staff/non staff creates double standards and it's awful. Bleh.

Haiku domain PSA

The domain of the Haiku Project (haiku-os.org) domain has just expired, due to autorenewal failure. Do not visit links from the main site or any associated subdomains until the domain has been renewed.

I made this PSA in Haiku Community Discord earlier today too, but I've been seeing people in the Fediverse asking about this so it's posted here too.

In the meantime, there is still the official Haiku IRC/Matrix channel on OFTC (#haiku:oftc.net) and the various unofficial Haiku communities:

@gsuberland so basically:

Friendly reminder, if you stopped masking due to social pressure, anxiety, or for any other reason, and you wanna mask up again, you absolutely can! Lots of folks never stopped masking and some folks are starting again because of the cold and flu season on top of national COVID spikes.

#poll for folks who make art regularly as a hobby: how long do you usually spend working on a given art project?

Went through my notes and pictures of my two recent hikes in Wallonia and found a couple of benches and picknick tables not in Openstreetmap. So, added those. I love public picknick tables. I should primary focus on adding those to the map when I see one.

@th give someone one clock and they will always know the time, give someone two clocks and they will never know the time

Tired: "the reader"
Wired: "chat"

E.g.: "This proof is left as an exercise to chat."

Amazing. So looks like (in all Blink browsers on Windows since relatively recently) reading a user-selected File with a FileReader, and then putting the same file in FormData and sending it, crashes the tab.

I'll just work around this, can't be arsed to make a demo and figure out where to file the bug.

But yeah "file upload crashes browser" certainly aligns with the overall state of software these days.

Edit: I have not verified there are no additional circumstances involved. Just reports from multiple people about this particular internal tool consistently crashing in the last week or so. And yes, uploading a new Blob with the just-read contents fixes it.

Edit 2: fwiw I've tried to reproduce it outside of the environment and failed, so probably depends on some other weird shit I do, of which there's lots.
