@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. relatively quiet respite near the bathrooms at an overcrowded music festival when I can still hear the music from the stage but I'm not interested in the acts right now, and people are having semi private conversations around me that they've been wanting to have all day but waiting until they could hear each other, and the people chatting are here to see the same bands as me.

Kansas invalidates license of a trans person who didn't even change their gender marker https://www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-news/kansas-revokes-license-no-gender-change
So who, and when, flagged her as transgender? And in what way does this even apply to the law passed?
They just want to harass trans people.

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber That's so messed up. The whole thing is.
Related, it occurred to me recently, invalidating trans driver's licenses en masse is a way to effectively make driving while trans a reason to pull you over.
Scientists don't want you to know this, but orange cats are slowly replacing humans!
Statistics nerds...this is for you.

1. The Supreme Court just handed down its 5th anti-trans decision in less than a year.
It could lead to forced outing of trans youth across the country, with 40 cases pending that it may impact.
It also forces CA teachers to misgender some trans students.

In short, I'm looking for a company (or companies) that could be interested in investing in this vision for the social web. Please spread around.
We published #HolosDiscover 1.2.5, this release fixes RSS issues on some readers:

Also, for more transparency, we added a real-time stats page showing processed #ActivityPub activities, blocked instances and more.
and part of that is because, simply, i do not know what to actually *do* about politics right now. and dwelling on that is *not* good for me, or for you. so. anyway.
@evanEvan Prodromou Clear answer is wizard. Even if it was a fill in the blank that's where I'm going.
Car hot take: You should get 5% off your license plate renewal if your car is more interesting than black/white/silver/blue/red. 10% of it's got actual art on it.

so anyway if you've seen me change in how i post, well, yeah. but you also only see a little bit of me online. contrary to "posting like twelve posts in a row", i'm actually more offline than i have been in many years at this point
Don’t call it age verification. Call it centralised personal data collection. And understand that it serves surveillance, not safety for children. Thank you for your cooperation.
My experience of the #fediverse :
Year 1 (2023):
It feels a little lonely as 99% of my friends stayed on Big Tech platforms.
Year 2 (2024):
I start a blog - #TheFutureIsFederated - to explain the fediverse to "normies"... and I make a lot of new (techie) friends.
Year 3 (2025):
My techie friends encourage me to start self-hosting with #YunoHost... and I do! (GoToSocial, PeerTube, NextCloud...) I LOVE it.
Year 4 (2026):
I plan to buy a Heltec to try out off-grid mesh radio communication 💁♀️
it's the same with a lot of my other political activities. most actual political action i've taken in the real world has basically not moved the needle at all. my entire lifetime has pretty much been a near-universal slide to the right. so.

it's the same reason i used to go to demonstrations and be in the black bloc and shit. did that *actually* change anything? nope. so i don't anymore

if posting about leftism actually did anything, we wouldn't be living under fascism right now. because i (and a lot of you) sure did a lot of posting, but it also sure didn't seem to help. so yeah i could be doomposting about how the dems fuckin suck or whatever. but what good does that do?

Včera se podařilo v klíčovém výboru zamítnout Chat Control 1.0 - dočasnou výjimku, která umožňuje plošně skenovat soukromé zprávy. Ale vyhráno ještě nemáme. Příští týden nás čeká hlasování na plénu a bude to těsné. Někteří europoslanci potřebují připomenout, že „moje soukromá zpráva je moje věc“. 👇🏻
You can use aliases to decrease the amount of typing you need to do to get
commands you commonly use. Examples of fairly popular aliases include (in
Bourne shell style, as in /bin/sh, bash, ksh, and zsh):
alias lf="ls -FA"
alias ll="ls -lA"
alias su="su -m"
In csh or tcsh, these would be
alias lf ls -FA
alias ll ls -lA
alias su su -m
To remove an alias, you can usually use 'unalias aliasname'. To list all
aliases, you can usually type just 'alias'.
By using almost every advanced Swift concurrency tool, we can fully control how database changes are sent to observers, all without slowing down the writer actor!

I'm a dual US-Canadian citizen, and I would *like* to believe it will be okay for me to just keep traveling back and forth between the US and Canada, and for now it is, but things are changing so fast, how long could that last?
It's terrible, there are so many people I care about in the US. There's so much I've left behind.
Me: I don't want arsenic, please stop trying to add it to everything.
Them: What do you have against metals in your food? I mean, you eat sodium, don't you? Hypocrite.

uspol, more trans bad news
Damn I guess I wasn't even paying attention yesterday so *deep breath* here we go:
- Supreme court issues shadow docket ruling that says teachers MUST tell their parents if their child privately comes out as trans https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/25a810_b97d.pdf
- Texas Attorney General declares that therapists who *use gender affirming language* for patients are engaging in child abuse, will have license to practice removed and face criminal charges https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/texas-ag-paxton-declares-therapists
- American Society of Plastic Surgeons members blindsighted by the org issuing a statement saying *HRT blockers*, surgery, etc are harmful for youth https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/asps-members-demand-answers-after
We're in this together. Attacks on trans youth are a pathway to attacks on trans adults.
uspol, more trans bad news
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber And even if you don"t care for trans or other human beings, be aware that when the fascists are done, they need another enemy.
Guess who that will be?
A bit of human self-preservation now saves you blood, sweat and tears later.
Reminder that boosting on the #forkiverse is free, costs zero energy, and is the single best thing you can do to help someone's post reach people who actually want to see it. Don't just fav, BOOST.
a few of you on here are like, actually doing real politics work in the actual world. and it's great. love to see it. i am not and have not. and posting isn't praxis. i want to sit with the uncomfortableness that i'm not, rather than pretending i am by smashing that repost button
i used to politics post A LOT and don't do it in the same way now, not because my politics have changed at all (in my opinion), but because i kinda maybe sorta think Posting has been a bad thing for leftism

Part of the challenge with managing energy and motivation in programming is that sometimes, you can be on a roll getting things done, and suddenly your tools or environment just break spectacularly and derail you.
Like if you’re a carpenter, in the middle of building a table, and all of a sudden the hammer disappears from your hand and someone’s like “There’s no table, what are you talking about” and it’s still RIGHT THERE and what the heck happened to the hammer?!
That was my last 2 hours. 🤣
