OH NO
*do not*, I repeat *do not* open firefox reader view on mastodon

@nursemchurt Anbox is a project for doing that: anbox.io/ I was looking into using it for running android apps on the pinephone, which some people are working on.

@thufie @lord @aearil Are you capitalizing Shift? This is what mine looks like:

@esvrld@octodon.social It was also seen as rude to have your glans exposed in public. Some athletes would wear a leather strap around their foreskin to keep it from pulling back, called a kynodesme, which literally means dog leash.

@rrix@cybre.space I leave mine mostly stock. I did enable column numbers with (setq column-number-mode t), and on my laptop, I have it display my battery level with (display-battery-mode 1).

@error_1202@mspsocial.net He got some responses from a blind Linux users mailing list he's in, and they said that Mate and GNOME both work well with Orca. A few of them use Slint, which is a slackware based distro that is designed to work well with screenreaders.

@dirtycommo What did you use for that? Does firemacs work with quantum yet?

i have never felt a larger amount of disgust than when i realised one of my lecturers worked at google and forced us to use google cloud just because he wanted to advertise their products

fucking disgusting

Tech: importance of self-hosting email/using other providers, "mail is hard" myth, health of fediverse 

An interesting, well-reasoned counter to the myth that "mail is hard", including the importance of #SelfHosting for the health of #email (if you're technical enough to run services), just like a large network of ActivityPub servers (Mastodon, Pleroma, etc) help strengthen the #fediverse:
poolp.org/posts/2019-08-30/you

The short version is in the disclaimer and end:
> Self-hosting mail is not HARD but requires WORK, which are two different things. Setting up a mail infrastructures requires a lot of initial work, then basic long term maintenance.
> We need to reclaim mail. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be hosted at Big Mailer Corps, but these should not become the Pavlovian reaction to “where do I get an e-mail address ?”.

genital mutilation, aka "circumcision" 

randomly seeing a post about it on facebook and suddenly getting mad your parents mutilated your genitals at birth

sigh

re: genital mutilation, aka "circumcision" 

@feld @devurandom@cybre.space @vantablack @irina Circumcision was introduced to the US in the late 1800s as a way to punish young boys for masturbating. One of the main supporters was John Harvey Kellogg. He was a Seventh Day Adventist, and they are very anti-sex. After it caught on, circumcision sort of became a tradition in the US.
My parents are christian, and they said that religion was part of the reason they circumcised me. Outside of the US, it is rare for christians to be circumcised.

genital mutilation, aka "circumcision" 

@vantablack Agreed. Only a consenting adult should be able to choose to have parts of their genitals cut off. Male, female, and intersex children should be protected from genital cutting without their consent. Everyone deserves autonomy over their own body.
I was circumcised as an infant, and my skin was cut so tight that I wasn't left with enough skin to accommodate an erection fully when puberty started. Erections were painful, and my skin would sometimes tear and bleed. You don't know how someone will grow and develop when you are cutting them as an infant, on top of them not being able to consent to it.
A recent study found that 11.5% of the infant circumcisions in the US they tracked for two years were botched in some way: spuonline.org/abstracts/2018/P
