I really want to buy a Wii just to run Windows on PPC on real hardware, but I feel bad since I have a few computers I bought because I thought it would be neat to have them but I never use them for anything.

I think it’s funny to reply to spam texts with Chinese because they stop immediately
A spam text trying to convince me that I have a $30,000 loan. I reply with “fuck” in Chinese. I get a response in Chinese saying that I have been unsubscribed.

It’s funny that looking through their posts shows they were scraping Mastodon instances and just collecting everyone’s data. That’s just what they like doing, hoovering up everyone’s data without permission.

Well, this was a surprise. Also, the documentation was less useful than Stack Overflow. I did learn about Swift NIO which was cool, but that was from the search results and not what was generated.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."
The post has an orange "Comments Moderated" tag, 169 upvotes, and 134 comments.

I remember seeing the TCRF saga with the AI-Bros and I went to go to the Starmen Forum and was sad to see they're getting hit hard too.
Sorry, due to the overwhelming amounts of AI bots making the forum otherwise useless, I am temporarily requiring a login to use the forum. I can't redirect to the login page because that too causes CPU issues. I wish there was another way.

Insane thing to say to me, insane thing to say about pansexuality. Taking the time to look nice to attract someone I'm attracted to (and may even get to love!) is a great use of my autonomy, actually, and so is taking care of myself and my body because I fucking want to. Weird little freak

It's comforting in a way to know that women who date men and women who date women can both experience the same thing: spending two hours getting dolled up for a date and then arriving to discover your date didn't even wear deodorant

@crnchylttc.bsky.social
I would consider either person in this hypothetical as having a red flag. But ik my opinion isn't popular and it's probably just cuz I'm pan and don't give a fuck about beauty standards. The idea of anyone having to get "dolled up" for 1hr+ is a sickening theft of autonomy imo. But BO= bad as well.

nitter.net is down. xcancel.com may go soon, too. all the respect to the folks at nitter for their services so far, but to be honest, X completely locking itself out of the web is probably a net positive for us all in the long term
Cease and desist
On 24 August 2026 cease and desist letters have been sent by X Corp. demanding a permanent takedown of Nitter instances and the project's repository.

nitter.net is offline and development has stopped for the time being. I'm seeking legal advice and won't be commenting further on the specifics for now.

Thank you to everyone who used, hosted, packaged, donated and contributed to Nitter over the past seven years.

My hot take is that I prefer open-source drivers with firmware binary blobs instead of closed-source drivers and I don’t mind proprietary software. Companies want to protect their IP and I would prefer to use their hardware on any device instead of only architectures that they support.

I saw an ad for TikTok where it was promoting animating old family photos and it showed two old men with one standing and one sitting. I was like “yeah, I guess someone would want that” and then one stood up and looked like he was going in for a kiss before they cut from that.

I think a lot of it is backwards compatibility and not wanting to step on implementer’s toes. I mean, they didn’t even define a byte as being 8 bits until recently. I know a lot of bad code relies on the behavior of undefined behavior. I believe they should modernize the language, but they won’t.
