not well known but actually the wheel group on linux refers to a giant wheel of cheese

Instead of saying that all these laws "prohibit trans people from using the bathroom of their choice" we should be more clear. Bathroom bans are intended to prohibit trans people from using the bathroom, or any public accomodations, at all.. Like be for real here.

setting up infra for hacker camp & now posting via a connection delivered thru a cat6 cable i personally crimped <3

man i love to be in the country where i was born and every time i visit a new state i get to check whether its legal for me to use a bathroom

its crazy how the ‘smart’ moniker when applied to any technology actually usually means ‘spyware’ its basically no longer possible to buy a tv without spyware, unless youre buying a commercial model which without the ad targeting ‘subsidies‘ costs 3x

putting the finishing touches on my latest fucked up computer. her working hostname is SLIP, but I’m considering christening her Marsha or MARSHA if I can figure out a good enough acronym. I’ve spent the better part of the last year thinking about this piece and I’m really proud of it.

so i got a bastardkeys dilemma, and it's by far my favorite keyboard i've ever used. the coolest feature is that there's a button that completely clears the EEPROM, thus erasing your whole keymap. found that out the hard way.

NATIONALIZE META AND FEED IT TO THE POST OFFICE

The complete elimination of Meta would yield unambiguous, far reaching benefits for global society.

This is wild. 93% of the renewable electricity generation added to the Irish grid over that last decade now powers data centers, rather than reducing fossil fuel use. Data centers have pretty much annihilated the health and climate benefits those renewables could have provided.

Hannah Daly@hannahdaly.ie · last mo.

What is even more striking is that data centre demand has matched 93% of the growth in renewable electricity generation (wind + solar + hydro) over the past decade. If we measure since 2020, data centre demand has grown nearly 3-times faster than renewable electricity growth.

It was thirty six hours ago I was just told it’s basically fair game to discriminate against me and my people in every aspect of American life through the cloak of American sports in a NINE ZERO DECISION. Lol. Lmao

Like, yeah. Doesn't matter. Whatever the words used, the sentiment is just "fuck you, tranny" enshrined into law.

ElieNYC@elienyc.bsky.social · 2mo ago

It's such a *clear* equal protection violation to me, if for no other reason that trans *men* are not subjected to the same restrictions, only trans women. But, since the court already decided that the constitution doesn't apply to trans women, I can't be surprised.

psa for cis folks: every single "legitimate concern" about trans people (bathrooms, sports, blockers, etc) is a made up astroturf by the far right. if you buy into any of it, you are an utter chump and a useful idiot for racist pedophiles

liberals are still doing this today and only talking about how this decision will affect cis girls and not about how the supreme court just made discrimination against an entire group legal

Claire, Boob Haver@progesteronipizza.bsky.social · 6mo ago

i need allies to stop looking at the ongoing horrors that trans people are facing and responding with "wow imagine what will happen when this comes for [others]" yeah that'll suck, can we talk about it happening to us RIGHT NOW? we're more than the canary in the coal mine. we deserve to live too.

the way that british liberal transphobia was imported to the US, promoted in rags like the atlantic and the NYT, goes a long way in explaining this imo.

I Travel Like Sound Dog@chadstanton.blacksky.app · 2mo ago

I remember North Carolina having to back off its bathroom bill after a concerted pushback and its been wild to witness the wholesale abandonment since.

It’s always interesting when I get to explain to a cis person that the current anti-trans hysteria is not only 100% astroturfed, it’s 180° opposite of the initial popular reaction to public medical transition. People thought it was cool! Look what modern medicine can do! She’s a bombshell!

Writing "Don't worry about it" on tax form@gonebabygone.bsky.social · 2mo ago

It's easy to forget that the current anti-trans moral panic, for instance, is only four or five years old. That doesn't mean it's not ruining real people's lives and it won't take a while to fix, but it's completely artificial and brand new because, ironically enough, it's not natural.

hey when we say that liberals and democrats are worse than useless on trans rights this is the kind of shit we are talking about :) by the way :) what is the fucking point of conceding on title IX like this. what is the fucking point.

ElieNYC@elienyc.bsky.social · 2mo ago

The libs concur that trans people can't win under Title IX, but say they CAN win under the Equal Protection Clause. Kav and the Republicans say they lose on both.

IS IT AN INTERVENTION OR IS IT A BOWL

there is something about a clothing optional hot spring resort that attracts if not an actually israeli kind of vibe (there were two), a spiritually israeli kind of vibe (two white dreds & one self proclaimed ‘naturally pagan’ healer) still we had a lovely time
