"Trans women have no advantage in women's sports, studies confirm this result"
A bunch of weird people: "nuh uh, science says otherwise!"
What do these tools think a "study" is and what do they think "science" is.

Hey Punkstodon.de! Thanks for having me!
I'm a vegan dude that grew up in a hardcore punk scene in the south of Brazil. I'm a visual artist and burned out animator, trying to figure out what my next thing will be (I need to change a few things or I'll spontaneously combust). I'm also a linux and foss nerd.
Here goes a band from around these parts of the world:

The man from Laser Quest didn't use the word shoot when he explained the rules. I knew I'd have terrible aim so didn't even try and just used the rifle like a cudgel. He said that I was the most violent girl he'd ever seen. Three boys got bloody noses and I broke one's wrist.

I never realised (partly because of their name), but CD Japan cdjapan.co.jp is actually pretty good for physical books in Japanese .
Today I bought three Japanese paperbacks and it came to just over £16, and that's including delivery to the UK! The cheapest and slowest mode of delivery (air mail), but if you're not in a hurry...

Found a gem for YouTube (V3 extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/v3-get-old-youtube-layout/) — which brings the old interface (from the start of XXI century) back. It is more clean, if it is even possible to say "clean" about YouTube interface, and also it is faster as hell than the "modern" one.
On the my box (Thinkpad X220 with i7, 16 Gb of RAM) the usual YouTube lags as hell, even while I'm scrolling. The old interface — works almost instantly, lol.

Why did i forgot #mc ( #midnightcommander )? Such a great Tool if you have to deal with lots of unknown directory structures (aka ThirdParty archives) and need to move or mix and merge arbitrary filebases. Surely didnt used it since 10 Years but my fingers still know all the shortcuts and command keys. Crazy...

My take? We're in for a wild ride of low quality software over the next couple of years.
It really doesn't matter if the agents are up to the task if the people driving them keep pretending their skills/experience aren't part of the equation.
