  I'm gonna say something stupid and potentially inappropriate, but … Even though to my knowledge it has nothing to do with trans people whatsoever and the cover model isn't trans at all, I oddly enough think that the cover for Mónica Ojeda's book Mandíbula (Jawbone) unexpectedly represents what I appreciate about most transfeminine people's unique physique really well. I know that this is a somewhat inappropriate picture to talk about this with, but it is the first (non-personal...

  Easy to implement #Minecraft suggestion: Please make dispensers with an axe strip logs in front of it. Shears can empty beehives, but axes can't strip wood?

  Good morning everyone! I just woke up. :clouds_day: :info: News In today's maloperating system news, the #Debian project voted in favour of the pro-AI proposition, and struck down any and all proposals to limit or ban AI use. Womp, womp. Replacement #Linux distributions to switch to that have got an anti-AI policy in effect include: #ChimeraLinux (user friendly; not to be confused with ChimeraOS)#elementaryOS (user friendly)#Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre (for silly nerds; my personal choice)#G...

  The tech world is full of weird shit. Instead of adding features to the specification of your console/virtual terminal so it can support things like Unicode character rendering, fonts or true colour, we just ended up writing "terminal emulators" instead so you could have a graphical program on top of a display server pretend to be a terminal. The standard inbuilt Linux console still doesn't support anything beyond 8 colours and 512 characters in shitty lil keymaps. If I want a s...

  I have to admit that for the longest time I was kinda ambiguous on the whole generative AI thing. Mostly because I majored in computational linguistics and I love the technology and maths side behind it, I maintain it's an incredibly fascinating invention. I did obviously realise the many ethical problems of using generative AI for all kinds of purposes that ended up in plagiarism, misinformation, harmful content generation and so on. I hated that large language models – being, you know, la...

  Did anyone else notice that all the AI slop 'vibecoders' now use the phrase "I built"? Like, 90% of the time I see a sentence like "I built a plugin that lets you do XYZ" it turns out to be AI nonsense. I also can't remember any instances of seeing AI slop advertised with "I developed" or "I made". It's always 'building' now. #antiAI #programming

  One aspect of #disability #accessibility that I feel is criminally overlooked is being mindful of #schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Please, please don't joke around with common psychotic triggers, at least without a clear content warning on it. It's not funny. Examples? Any absurdist shitposting that implies common psychotic narratives (stalking, shadow people, cryptids, paranoia, mind control, fake reality etc.), especially if deliberately directed at the reader! Even wo...

  Hey, there. We all know that there are countless cosy and nice communities on #Discord of all kinds that many of us found a lot of friends and (used to) spend a majority of our time socialising in. I used to be able to instantly find nice and welcoming communities about basically any topic – #conlangs, #games, #art, #queer stuff – many of which resulted in amazing friendships and great times. But since I've practically moved off Discord for everything but work, it's been getting lonely...

  I wish US Americans never became the predominant Western online culture. Just got banned from a community for saying "hell yeah", because it's "cursing in front of a minor" :skull: dude what Americans are so so deeply weird

  After Bluesky, Threads, and so on, the whole #WSocial thing is another reminder that it was never about the #Fediverse being "too complicated" or "just for nerds". A bafflingly large amount of people genuinely only act on a gut feeling telling them that only commercial products with fancy marketing owned by a for-profit corporation can be trustworthy, 'official' and 'legal', for the lack of a better word. If something is a commercial offering by a competent-...

  Warnung! ⚠️ In den nächsten Tagen wird es sehr heiß. Viele Leute wissen nicht, dass Medikamente temperatursensibel sein können. Medikamente können bei Hitze ihre Wirkung verlieren, verändern oder sogar gefährlich werden. Auch im Schatten oder im Schrank! Beispiel: Lisdexamfetamin, auch bekannt als Elvanse, darf nicht bei über 25 Grad Celsius gelagert werden. In den nächsten Tagen kann das durchaus für viele von uns Raumtemperatur sein! Dasselbe gilt für viele medizinische Cremes, Psychopharma...

  @Coffee@toot.cafe A bit OT but that CW's such an elegant way to clarify that you're talking about the corporation Meta and not just discourse meta.

  @CA_Hawthorne @hiking Strange. You don't see that here often.

  @CA_Hawthorne @hiking Oh they vandalise signs and info panels here too, but they make sure not to obscure any information! They simply put their stickers and tags where there's space.

  Close to where I live here in Germany, there's a hiking trail called "Pfad für Genießer", which translates to "trail for connoisseurs". At regular intervals along the trail, you'll find these big wooden signs that showcase various native plants growing around the very spot you're standing in. And then – most importantly – a recipe you could cook using any of these ingredients! :) That's really cool, is it not? Every station unlocks a new meal made from regio...

  Just spotted a "Fuck Antifa" sticker on a streetlight. Wanted to put an antifa sticker over it, but there was a young family behind me on the pavement so I wanted to let them pass first. Just as they passed me and the pole, the dad stopped and pulled off the sticker himself. He taught his daughter how to safely remove nazi stickers. I laughed and told them that I was just waiting for them to pass to put my own on top. Small funny moment of solidarity. #Antifa #FuckNazis #FCKNZS #DeP...

  Kennt jemand eine Organisation hier in Deutschland, die queere Leute (z. B. trans Personen) aus anderen Ländern rettet, also mit den Anträgen hilft, in Einwanderungsfragen berät, Reisekosten übernimmt oder so? Irgendeine Art Hilfsorga, die tatsächlich etwas tut und nicht nur Social Media macht? Ich hab Freundinnen in Ländern wie den USA und Ungarn und wir bräuchten dringend Hilfe und Erfahrungen. #trans #transDE #germanTrans #transDeutsch #deutsch #deutschland #queer #queerDE #dieLinke
