One day I will have the disposable income for a @roseschmits.bsky.social pot. Until then I must admire their squiggliness from afar.

@ramage.in Heya I'm wondering if you can help me find an answer to this question that doesn't seem to be on any of the relevant sites: If all the underlying tech stack is open source, why is the Keet.io app itself not OS? Makes it feel like there's a layer of misdirection or something in there?

I'm always the person telling my friends to write less when messaging and emailing, to not explain themselves because their actions and desires don't need justification. And then as soon as I get a cute person's number I fully scare them off with a wall of text the next day 🙄
It's a little bit funny to me that code is written in imperative tense. I don't know what else it would be written in but still, I'm absolutely picturing a person looking at a computer, pointing to a printer and demanding "print 'hello world'!"
i think it's important for people to remember that puberty blockers *were* the "moderate, compromise" position.
Another little project writeup. This lil guy was explicitly motivated by needing to make something with my hands while working on other projects with the 3d printer which just doesn't really feel the same. acegiak.net/o/554ed0a7b9...
If you can't define the boundaries of a gender, you cannot oppress it.
I am biased but this is genuinely on my list of greatest games of all time.
Buy Sunless Skies in the Steam Train Fest if you like trains and any combination of space, bats, cricket, devils, scones, or giant clockwork suns.
Finally finished my Cyberdeck build. Took a minute but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. acegiak.net/articles/9cc...
Fellas, you've got to understand, "goes to gym but skips leg day" is the biggest ick turnoff. It's a massive indicator that you don't know what women want, can't give it to them, and are actually just seeking the attention of other men.
I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.
My child loves going to the library and checking out a new video game every week. Going digital only eliminates libraries as a way people can access games.
Panpsychism is increasingly popular in a lot of the philosophy content circles I am audience to and I don't quite understand how you get to the point of deconstructing conciousness enough that you decide that it exists in everything and don't go "well then maybe it doesn't exist?"
Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC
Nothing has affirmed the knowledge that liberals fundamentally do not see trans people as human beings as much as the reactions, or lack thereof, I've seen today.
60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".
Someone actually crunched the numbers, and using GenAI can decrease reviews for indie game on Steam (a useful proxy stat for sales) by as much as *58%* 🤖
I feel like as a trans woman I want a better term for the experience of being validated by misogyny.
Brianna Ghey was fucking murdered.
Parents treat coming out as a death because they thought you were an object they owned and asserting your own identity takes that away from them.
What year is it?
People often downplay the mental/emotional changes and benefits, but they're huge
For all the hilarity about cisgender people taking hormones and even micro-dosing transgender hormones, there's something that gets buried in cis understanding of trans HRT. Even if we don't end up LOOKING how we want, we begin FEELING more like ourselves. HRT is critical neurological health care.

Trans Segregation Is Becoming Law. What Can We Do About It? | Juliet Jacques
‘Single-sex spaces’ must now exclude trans men and women, according to new guidance from the EHRC. We aren’t taking seriously just how dangerous this will be, write Juliet Jacques.

Your favorite people are about to disappear from your timeline. Reminds me of that Nixon official saying "we couldn't make it illegal to be Black or against the war but we could criminalize weed." They're wanna be subtler than banning every trans person and so many of us share progress pics
If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts
Tom Steyer being full-throated in his support of trans rights and trans athletes pushed me off the fence. Of course I'm concerned about voting for a billionaire but who the hell else is doing anything remotely like this right now?
Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.
What does everyone else do with their knicknacks? Little toys or figurines, bag and phone charms that are nice but you're not going to put them on your bag or phone, pins and badges you don't wear but still like, etc?
Honestly, it's wild but I think that the idea of AI becoming conscious and super intelligent and taking over the world and destroying it was wishful thinking.
