re: Computers, need technical help
@katnjia @tinytoydragon @kana@todon.nl XP doesn't support GPT, but windows 7 does. It will only let you install to a GPT drive if you boot to the installer as UEFI though, not MBR. Vista supported GPT too, but I think it had some issues with it.
Computers, need technical help
@kana@todon.nl I've used this tool before: https://github.com/slacka/WoeUSB
I know it works for 7, I'm not sure it it works for XP. The XP installer didn't officially support being run from a flash drive, but I think there's a way to get it working.
i just got sent a long and heartfelt email from someone about how OCRbot helps them and how they couldn't use fedi without it
they have vision issues and can't really caption the images themselves, and rely on OCRbot to do it for them
this is the first time i've ever seen someone with a physical disability talk about OCRbot and um, it feels really special and also quite strange that so much responsibility has been placed on it and myself

Intersex, surgery, news, pol
@Soft_Missy That's good news. A similar bill was proposed in California, but it looks like it failed a vote yesterday: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/13/us/california-cosmetic-surgeries-intersex-infants-senate-vote/index.html
All children should be protected from genital surgery without consent.
@wxcafe That depends on whether you want better redundancy or better performance. raid10 will be faster, but if both drives in one of the mirrors fail, all of your data is gone. Z2 will still have your data if any two drives fail. I have an 8 drive Z2 array in my server, with a ZFS mirror on two SSDs for the boot drive.
Parents let intersex child decide for herself
@auravulpes @maeve It looks like California's bill to protect intersex children failed a vote yesterday: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/13/us/california-cosmetic-surgeries-intersex-infants-senate-vote/index.html All children should be protected from genital surgery before they can consent to it.
Seriously, though. There is no excuse in 2020 to be sending HTML email. You can almost assuredly get your point across just as well with a plain text email.
Fuck HTML email.

I'm an intactivist, all children have the right to be protected from genital cutting before they can consent, regardless of their genitalia. A consenting adult has the right to do what they want with their own body. #intactivism #i2 #autonomy
