A rudimentary shelf and wall bear witness to the silent theater of her existence.

I was on Insta the other day and a reel from Die Linke was talking about how Trans healthcare in 🇩🇪 is legally fucked and how they're going to fight to fix it and holy shit, this is the 1st time that a political party has *ever* even hinted about caring about us and I will vote for them for Life

Trying to use BSky again because despite Twitter being a big deal in my professional life, I literally cannot scroll more than 2-3 posts without being shown naked transphobia and hate speech. It's too awful even with the massive amount of filters I use to try to make it usable

An absolutely psychotic thing to put into print in what is ostensibly a reputable journalism source, even as an opinion piece.

Anyways, if you're wondering "gender dysphoria, that doesn't seem That Bad, why don't they just live with it?", women in Russia are now making guides on how best to perform surgery on themselves, without anesthesia That is how much it hurts to be the wrong gender!

Here's a thing you probably didn't think about - if you go super aggro on adblockers (especially if you set up DNS-based ones like Pi-Hole), you're probably blocking all of the feature-flag infrastructure too like Statsig

Sometimes it feels less "Claude is being used at the frontier of long-running agents" and more "I am knowingly leading Claude into an unwinnable suicide mission"

A really cool "feature" of Linux is that since all of the secret stores are somehow a Desktop Environment feature, every time you switch between DEs all of your apps get corrupted and you get to log in again on all of them. For Slack, that means receiving like 6+ dumb Emails! 🫠🫠

Man, GitHub frontend perf in 2025 makes me so sad - it literally causes my computer fans to spin up on nearly every non-trivial page: the repo view, any PR This is literally a static page. Nothing is moving. The number of renders should be Exactly One (1)!

My hottest take: the Subway Takes guy is Good, actually, and even if some of the takes are Bad that's the whole point, NYC is a whole city full of all kinds of people living together and that's pretty cool and great

I finally finished Split Fiction today after getting kinda bored with the last third, but holy shit - the finale / ending is absolutely insane in terms of technical artist / SFX work, truly *stunning*. And even despite the last part lull, the game is incredibly creative and novel. Great game!

/me Feeling like garbàge but pull myself together so I don't cancel the lunch chat I have with someone /Restaurant literally plays Elliott Smith on the radio Come onnnnnnnnn

A cool thing about Germany is how every business will have a contact form / Email address that you'll take a lot of time to write a very detailed message into, in formal German, and they will absolutely never ever ever respond to it in any way

Boy is it really weird and gross that the consequences that fall out of laws like COPPA et al applied to YouTube, is that an insane amount of watched content by school-age kids is watching twenty-something adult men playing games intended for children
