Poland, trans rights, Boost please <3
The Supreme Court of Poland has just ruled that changing legal gender will now proceed without trial.
The old system was not actually written in the law, but the route was to sue one's parents (the logic being that someone is legally responsible for assigning the person's gender wrong at birth). Which was humiliating, stupid, complicated and made no sense.
I am shocked. I am floored. This caught me completely off guard.
Needless to say, this is a HUGE step forward, even if a lot remains to be done.
in most cases the primary advantage your local protest action can have against cops is surprise and apparent disorganization**. all that shit goes out the window when you’re planning based on something you and the cops probably both found on facebook at the same time
** keyword apparent, you should be organized but no one outside your group should know the full plan or who’s in charge
"Beveiligers die tijdens carnaval op het Piusplein in Kruikenstad (Tilburg) werkten, hebben tegen betaling mensen toegelaten toen het plein officieel al vol was. Onder hen waren ook minderjarige kinderen, die vanwege hun leeftijd überhaupt niet welkom zijn op het plein. Dat bevestigt de gemeente na vragen van Omroep Brabant."
Tja. Als je een soort politie-lite in het leven roept "die minder opleiding en screening nodig hebben" (handhavers, beveiligers, enz.), dan moet je ook niet verbaasd zijn als de geschiedenis zich herhaalt... die opleiding en screening zijn er niet voor niets.
“Marketplace of ideas” is actually a far more apt term than its proponents realise (and not in the way they’d like): It’s a marketplace; a private space owned by someone else who decides who can and cannot set up shop, where only those with the means can afford to rent a stall, and where the size of your stall depends on the size of your wallet.
i wanna congratulate all #Godot maintainers, contributors and project leads! ✨
I've been begging for a lot more UX work to be done and it seems like this release has a very healthy amount of QoL improvements to the engine and editor! Good job everyone!

It's a great site that uses historical train delay data to better estimate good train rates and realistic transfer windows between trains and such.
It seems like a must have to me but doesn't seem to be that popular yet
EDIT: they're on fedi now! Go follow: @chuuchuu

FISH DOORBELL is LIVE! https://visdeurbel.nl
If you don't see the doorbell and get the YouTube live video, it's because the doorbell is at capacity (I think the max is 2000). Try waiting a little bit and refreshing the page.
Depending on the weather, the water may be cloudy and turbulent; just be patient!

Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
