@jasongorman - I was looking for that neat list of studies you put together and I noticed codemanship has it's certificate revoked. Not sure if you'd noticed or not

Famous meme template from Arnold Lobel's children's book series Frog and Toad.

Caption: Frog put the 4 in the box. "There," he said. "Now we will not generate weak keys”. "But we can 56,” said the Toad. "That is true," said Frog.

Some people reportedly have been let out now. One of those things where you need wait and see what the deal is. I have good confidence that the the dolls have great legal representation, I doubt they will get taken for a ride without a fight. (Probably not worth going down at this point if that […]

If you ever wonder why governments come down harder on the left than the right, just think about which one has the ability to meaningful impact the mechanisms of power, and which are "just" there to terrorise the populace

Cis women, If you have some sort of "Women's Group", or even just a circle of women who go and get lunch together, intentionally and explicitly invite trans women. A lot of us are reluctant about proactively inviting ourselves to places that we might encounter TERFs.

I love hanging out and drawing with friends because it produces absolutely unhinged things like this:
Garfield (the cat), but with a *ahem* well endowed human body. She's leaning on a table next to a plate of lasagna, making eye contact with the camera, and saying "The only thing I love more than lasagna is my T4T polycule!" She's wearing a collar and a particularly low cut tank top with some pins on it: a trans flag, a lesbian pride flag pin with a piece of lasagna in the middle of it and text that says "les / agna", a doodle of Hatsune Miku, and a pride flag made of colors picked from a photograph of lasagna.

[pol] Open source isn't about community or "free" (kostenlos) software. It's a right to repair movement. It's that you get to own the things you own without restriction, and modify them as you see fit. When you see people killing your favourite perfectly good X SaaS service (looking at you […]
