I'm going to say this one without the details, without a CW, because this *is* an indirect CW.

If you want my thoughts on how dire the situation is in the US for trans people (it's dire), the plan of genocide for trans people, and what you can do, I've assembled them into this thread: social.coop/@cwebber/114454468

I know looking at this stuff is hard but if you aren't paying attention, please do so. The safety of yourself and others you care about is likely on the line.

I’ve seen firsthand how much Lina has suffered, and how hard she fought to stay kind in the face of cruelty. I’m proud of her for telling the truth. Please listen to her.

I also hope Luna values her own life. Responding to pain with more harm only deepens the tragedy. There is always another path.

uspol, the plan for trans genocide

With these in place:

- Trans people will be forcibly detransitioned, accesing medical care even for adults could be considered drug crimes
- Trans people using their post-transition identity information in work or legal contexts can be charged as felons for identity fraud
- Trans people entering restrooms not corresponding to their assigned-at-birth-gender can be arrested as *sexual predators*
- Trans people will be assigned to the *wrong prisons*

1. Replace workers with AI.
2. Now instead of wages you pay a company for AI services.
3. Despite the likely decline in quality of the work, suppose you become dependent as a company on this service. Suppose you make it work.
4. AI is heavily subsidized by venture capital, its priced lower than the cost to provide the service to attract early adopters (and to lock companies like you in.)
5. Inevitably the AI bubble bursts, AI services jack up their prices.

How is paying rent better than wages?

I went out to collect signatures for @hhwerbefreiInitiative Hamburg Werbefrei for the first time today, and it was really fun!

Some people practically ran into my arms: "I've been wanting to sign this, I already wondered where to find you!!"

For another person, the campaign was new, but they said" "This is the best thing I've ever signed for on the street!" :3

Two people walked past me as I explained what I was doing, but then changed their minds and came back! :D

uspol, safety, on leaving

If you are in a threatened category and ESPECIALLY if you are trans and you are thinking about leaving, it's at least important that you start planning your exit. I highly recommend the community collection of resources on transworldexpress.org/

Let me say it plainly: we are facing a trans genocide on the present path. Start helping yourself, your loved ones, get a passport, look at options out. Don't wait.

Great fun I just had with Nixbook, a project by Mike @codemonkeymikeMike :nixos: , turning your computer in a Nix-powered Chromebook. Restarted 8 years ago with Linux Mint and have been on a great Linux journey since. and yes, I've done them all (except LFS and some other curiosa). Nice to be on Cinnamon again. Did Nix as well, and still had those configuration.nix files lying around. Don't really need them, all just works. Only switched a channel of course ;-) Check it out, it's a great one!
You can find it here: github.com/mkellyxp/nixbook

uspol, safety, on leaving

If you are going to read one and ONLY one article about the state of the US, why trans people in particular are under threat, with historical and contemporary analysis, please PLEASE read and share this article about a historian who is trans and has neurodivergent children, and why she is painfully packing up and exiting the US: damemagazine.com/2025/04/29/wh

Notepad++の代替ソフトNotepad Next Linuxでも動くとのこと。snapでインストールなのか。debはないんか。まあエディターはEmacsやvim Visual Studio Codeもあるし、Notepad++に思い入れはないから、またの機会に。
