Dear trans ladies. You are valid, you are a women and you deserve respect and recognition of your human rights. You deserve our love and support and you will always receive it from me, I don’t care about some dickheads’ in wigs in a quaint dusty room opinion about you.

Take care, and I’m here for you however I may help ✊

@stefanoStefano Marinelli that's dangerous…the last several VPS instances I've picked up have all been through LowEnd{Box,Talk}.

But using that to search for my requirements, I'm still getting a pretty good deal on all of them

(if @ieji.de is the brains behind it, it might be helpful to have a third "it depends"-type option for IPv4/IPv6. RackNerd has IPv4 in all locations, but IPv6 in only a subset…I had to choose their California datacenter which had IPv4+IPv6, rather than their geographically-closer-to-me Texas data-center that was IPv4-only.)

My workplace held an AI-generated image contest and I submitted an illustration I drew. Nobody noticed it wasn't AI and I ended up winning.

For the record, I'm not completely against AI - I think it has massive potential in scientific research. We've already been using it here for protein structure and genomic analysis and it's been a powerful tool.

However as an artist, I also feel that it's important to remember that technology should be regarded as a tool to extend our own creativity and capabilities, not replace them.

On a decentralized social network, your government has to go after every independent local server that wants to post the stuff they don't want you to see. And you can always use a foreign server accessing that content on foreign servers that they can't touch. The government has to shut down every way you have to access those servers outside the country.

On , they just have to ask/threaten the company running the relay for the entire service to block access in your country.

I really enjoyed @FelienneFelienne Hermans's narrative about narratives about Computer Science yesterday. She applied some of the ideas presented in the Glaciers, Gender and Science paper (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/1) to her experiences in the Computer Science / Programming Languages communities. She's also starting a reading club to brainstorm the meaning (and the name?) of the field of "Computer Science".
















Felienne presents a slide in which a cartoon version of herself says "'Programming language' is a social construct", and presents a timeline where the 1960s are labelled with two quotes: "Programming requires patience and eye for detail ..." and "Women are naturals at computer programming".Felienne presents her title slide: A narrative about narratives about Computer Science. She drew cute cartoons of her and her collaborator.Felienne presents a slide with a cartoon picture of herself, with a thought bubble that visualises the bias that "hard = value" and "easy != value" through the metaphor of the fact that we know more about remote glaciers high up in mountains than about glaciers that are right next to where people live.

著作権という法的な権利でいえば当たり前なんだよ。人間がジブリ風味に描いても、そのものズバリではない限りは権利侵害ではない。そりゃそうだろ。
