Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.
This seems pretty cool, mostly for the anti-slip functionality, but I guess also makes it easy to deal with the power button.

I'm about to go to bed before I set up for a #Python event that celebrates the joy of technology and the responsibility we have to use the skills we have to improve the world.
A while ago, I caught the news that former #Python release manager, 
@swearyanthonyAnthony B, is in the ICU in a critical condition with an unclear prognosis. I'm a Python person because I had the fortune to meet Anthony at the right time, and I'll be keeping him in my thoughts as this year's #NBPy unfolds.

DATA:
sony playstation 2: name contains no queer terminology. best selling console of all time.
nintendo DS: contains one debatably queer term (dom/sub). second best selling.
nintendo switch: one debatably queer term. third best selling.
nintendo wii: one queer term (pronouns in bio). nintendo's third best selling console.
nintendo wii u: TWO queer terms. a complete flop.
OBSERVATION: consumers overwhelmingly support game consoles with moderately queer names. occasionally, consoles with no queer elements succeed. however, names that are too queer are rejected by most consumers, even if they launch with the best console version of Scribblenauts Unlimited (2011).
CONCLUSION: the switch 2 will not sell as well as the original console, as consumers will be overwhelmed by the idea of two individuals who change sex positions. xbox, whose console names have never included queer terms, will continue to see declining sales unless their naming scheme is changed. we suggest that their rumoured handheld console should be named the Xbox Metamour.
About halfway through putting together my photo collection for last year, and I am definitely not allowing myself to get distracted by twisting and turning images from the 360 camera into portals to another world. Definitely not. Nope. 
Nothing bad, but wondering about gender/sexuality... 🏳️🌈
When I was about 13/14, I realized that I was/am attracted to people, not their gender... I know, this may sound weird, but that's how my then undiagnosed AuDHD brain called it... How a person is, and of course how they look to me, is what makes me attracted to them. So I always thought I was bisexual... So I used that when I talked about me and my sexuality... 
But then, I learned more about myself. About the different sexual orientations...
And now, I'm wondering if I may be non-binary... I've been reading up about it a bit, trying to understand it better...
This is one of the things that I found online:
*The term “nonbinary” can mean different things to different people. Essentially, it’s used to describe someone whose gender identity can’t be described as exclusively woman or man.
Some people who are nonbinary experience their gender as both man and woman, and others experience their gender as neither man nor woman.
Nonbinary can also be used as an umbrella term, encompassing many gender identities that don’t fit into the man-woman binary.*
This came from the Healthline website. And well, I've never felt like a girly girl... I loved boys clothes, I loved boys toys, when I could I got very short hair... I am a woman with the bits and bops that go with it. But I've never felt like a proper one. I didn't do heels, dresses, or makeup. I don't really behave like a girl...
So that made me wonder if I could be non-binary instead? 
I am wondering if my non-binary friends may be able to share a wee bit of why they identify as non-binary. Can it be "as simple" as not feeling like a girly girl when born as CIS woman? But also not feeling like I'm in the wrong body? 🤔
My autistic brain really struggles with this... I don't want to offend anyone, but I also want to know more about this, about me... If that makes sense...
Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate it!

在酒吧裡，隔壁桌一個中年稍老的大叔在跟小女生們說以前的歌內容比現在好很多，現在都在無病呻吟。
我也喝多了，轉過身去就跟他說「你說的民歌時代還在戒嚴，除了愛國歌曲就是超無病呻吟的戀愛歌，有趣點的就是歪歌。最好是以前的內容比較好啦。」
結果一群人很無聊的在Google老歌歌詞，只證明了不管哪個時代那些該來該去的情歌都是你跟他認真起來會覺得很難為情的東西。而老男人總是好為人師又喇叭嘴😓

지난달, 유엔 인권이사회에 제출된 한 보고서는 — 오랫동안 팔레스타인인들이 주장해온 대로 — 10월 7일 이후 이스라엘이 팔레스타인 여성, 남성, 아동을 상대로 성폭력과 젠더 기반 범죄를 조직적으로 사용해왔음을 밝혔다.

@lynnesbianLynnesbian imagine the speedruns
on the oblivion remaster's dialogue camera
prefacing this to say i'm really enjoying the oblivion remaster so far - it's one of the best remasters i've ever played, up there with need for speed hot pursuit and the last of us part one. there's more than enough posts that go "this feature sucks, therefore the game is garbage" on the internet, and this is not one of those. the original oblivion will always exist for those who truly cannot enjoy the remaster for whatever reason.
with that out of the way: i wish they didn't remove the "world freezes, camera zooms" effect when you talk to people in the remaster. the game still kind of does that, but instead of the abrupt cut and zoom, it does this gentle pan, sometimes taking three seconds to bring the character into view. IMO, it feels ten percent less janky and a hundred percent worse.
this video shows it right at the start. the character is talking and animating, but they're almost completely off-screen, and the camera lazily swoops down to show them. it's weird.
it doesn't really fix the problems with the dialogue lock that made it so jarring in the first place, namely that you can suddenly find your inputs disabled and your camera swinging around to look at an NPC that snuck up behind you. if every conversation in oblivion happened because you looked at someone and pressed the "talk" button, the hard zoom from the original release wouldn't have been nearly as disorienting. it's the fact that you can find yourself in the dialogue state when you're not expecting it that's the issue.
i'm pretty sure the designers were aware of this back in 2006 - one of the first times you get dialogue sprung on you is when you enter jauffre's place in weynon priory for the first time. a monk stands up, walks towards you while in your view, and then talks to you. the designers made sure you had ample time to realise you're about to be talked to.
but oblivion dialogue minus the zoom plus a slow pan is still oblivion dialogue. having control wrested away and "STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM" shouted at you while you're quietly sneaking around and listening carefully for footsteps is always going to be jarring. why not keep the iconic hard cut and zoom?
on the oblivion remaster's dialogue camera
@lynnesbianLynnesbian I think if I were quitly sneaking irl and listening very hard for footsteps, I too would have controls disabled if someone shoutet at me.
Hello SFBA! I’ve been wistfully thinking of switching over here for a while and recent fosstodon choices gave me the push I needed. So #introduction time!

I have moved my mastodon account from fosstodon.org to floss.social. I want to make the reason I have done this crystal clear.
There is a person on the moderation team at fosstodon.org that goes by the name carrotcypher. This person appears to have posted concerning views on reddit multiple times, which you can see detailed here: https://floss.social/@lo__@mastodon.social/114370692794472318
Every time I fire up an Elementary Linux host or VM I am struck by how nice the desktop environment looks. Maybe I'll switch back to it at some point.
Testing negative for covid after 3 days (Thank god for Paxlovid), but still symptomy. Thank you all for understanding my lack of writing - my team has been on top of things and picking up the slack with the news stories this week. Lots of things going on. Take care of yourselves this weekend.

Another pressrelease-masquerading-as-journalism service from Kevin Roose here. Continuing the proud tradition of disinformation on behalf of the broligarchy. Here are a few questions he could have asked instead.
1. What cults are the Anthropic crew in, and what is the ideological ancestry of these cults? (We've done the work for him here, hint hint, its eugenics: https://firstmonday.org/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/13636/11599
The Linux mascot is a penguin named Tux because Linus Torvalds, the creator of the #Linux kernel, was bitten by a penguin. Seriously, he claims he didn't actually get sick, but it solidified his affection for them. This is the best origin story for a tech mascot ever. Happy World Penguin Day.
