bluesky liberals yelling at trans people to just "deal with it" and vote for a transphobe:

Yeah that's close enough mydialect.us

Screenshot of a dialect map captioned "You talk most like someone from North Carolina - about 53% of your answers match a typical resident." The map shows South Carolina, most of Georgia, and Part of North Carolina as "most like you", while the northern and new-england states are "least like you". A band from Oklahoma to Tennessee and Alabama is marked as very similar, while the rest of the southern states are moderately similar.

Screenshot of BlueSky word mutes screen showing a new "Client Mutes" tab. It shares most of the same controls, but has several new ones:
* name/label for the mute.
* mute type: literal text or regular expression.
* strictness: hard-mute or soft-mute.
* case-sensitive.
* match whole words only.
An extra description reads "Client-side mutes support advanced options and filters, but only apply on camp-fire.moe. Other client apps, devices, and web browsers may not respect these mutes."

Tip for anyone developing on #SocialApp using #WebStorm: make sure to **turn off** the setting "Enable service-powered type engine"! With that enabled, WebStorm will quietly fail to start any intellisense, navigation commands will time out, and other weirdness. Disable and restart fixes everything!

Screenshot of WebStorm setting open to Languages and Frameworks > TypeScript. All settings are default except "Enable service-powered type engine" is disabled.

there we go - a nice placeholder message to make sure the body section always takes the same amount of vertical space. You know, how it should have been from the start because this is beginner-level UX stuff...

I fucking FOUND IT FINALLY This is the *fucking* code that makes the block button run away from your cursor unless you wait a second and/or have a NASA-tier internet connection so it clears instantly

ok, that's phase 1 complete - we can complete a full auth cycle without ever hitting age assurance flows. Still need to check with location spoofed to a region that actually *requires* verification, but it shouldn't make a difference given that I removed 90%ish of the age assurance code lol

X-post from Tumblr because this *7 year old* post is still incredibly relevant today

Tumblr post by user "legsdemandias" on August 29, 2019:
Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”
IMO, blurring the lines between “I’m defending them because they’re right” and “I’m defending them because you’re taking this too far” is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracy--even in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic.

See, this is why I hate talking about my trans experience on BlueSky. Even just a *reference* to my anatomy and I get mobbed by chasers and dudes who think I'll be impressed by the size of his dick 🙄

I can't decide whether this is clever or evil 🤔 (this fedi instance has bridged their system proxy account over Bridgy Fed, allowing users on the instance to "follow" bridged BlueSky users without having to bridge their *own* accounts back)

I've started using #Markdown in my #BlueSky posts because even though bsky refuses to support any markup format, it still works when bridged to other platforms.

Screenshot of a post by me (@hazelnoot.dev) asking about storage space and wikipedia. A few words surrounded by single or double asterisks, which is markdown syntax for italics and bold respectively.

Screenshot of the same post viewed through a bridged Fediverse instance, showing the same content but the Markdown format has been rendered correctly.

Pass it along, let's see your PFP in its full-sized glory!

I've suspected it for a while, but after reading this I am *positive* there's a system on Hoyo's writing staff. (cross-post from enby.life/notes/aitxs9... because my instance still won't bridge correctly)

Screenshot of Honkai: Star Rail showing "As I've Written" open to the list of staff-written "fan fics" and alternate versions of various story details. A story called "Run Forward, Trity" is opened and scrolled halfway down. The visible text read:

Over countless days and nights together, Tribbie, Trianne, and Trinnon slowly discovered that "Trity's" personality was as enigmatic as the sky governed by Aquila. Every time they woke up after a night's sleep, the "Trity" they saw seemed like a complete stranger.

Sometimes Tribios was the happy Trity. She imitated the rhyme her mother Mortis taught her, singing for the three children a variation about sailing all the way to the moon.

Sometimes Tribios became the angry Trity. She would smash the offerings brought by the trainee priest, scream, and order him to leave the temple by walking backwards, simply because she mistook the ornament on the priest's waist for a cold blade used for assassination.

Sometimes Tribios was just the timid Trity. She liked to stay in corners, with a shy gaze, not good at making eye contact with children, but enjoyed watching small beetles crawl out from the corner of the wall, carefully breaking off pieces of moldy bread to feed them.

Next page of the story, continuing from before:

...

The children learned how to interact with different versions of "Trity," carefully remembering each "Trity's" favorite things and manner of speech. They also discovered that none of the "Trity" knew each other, nor were they aware of each other's existence.

Why was Trity different every day? One of the children flew past the towering temple walls that stretched beyond sight, went to the Grove, and brought back the cold diagnostic conclusion from a Helkolithist scholar: It's all in the mind! Just get plenty of rest and she'll be fine!

"No, that's not it."

"Trity is a kaleidoscope, it's like there are a thousand Tritys inside her. And every single Trity is our wonderful compainion!"

And today's Trity... is an exceptionally gentle and somewhat melancholic Trity.

Morgan's Red Hood outfit is way too slick for her to only wear it in like, the first part of a single episode! At least it's also on the title screen animation, but still - I wish we saw it more often! #OfTheDevil #OTD
