Other things you can do as a cis ally: -use "prefer not to say" when orgs/employers want to collect your demographic data. -nab some trans flag merch - pins, patches, etc. Flood the market with false positives -ask orgs that ARE enforcing this, HOW they are doing so. Make it awkward af
Slurms MacKenzie@slurmsmackenzie.bsky.social · 15h agoEHRC Code of Practice comes into effect today so remember to be an absolute pain in the arse to any service provider who is trying to actively enforce it.
Just seen a job ad for 'Senior Sharepoint Engineer'. Hard pass. Hard, hard, extremely hard pass
This is a lie, it was initially meant to attract the tech dorks who were too offputting for Mastodon, but unfortunately for Bluesky a load of cool people turned up
The Tory party has systematically weakened the Fire service since 2010, with budget cuts, austerity and de-regulation…..just as the countryside is turning to…..straw…? Another Tory success story.
www.designboom.com/technology/t... my favourite thing about this, unmentioned in the text, is that if you use your phone too much the terrarium will wither and die. The only way to keep the plants alive is for your phone to be face down in the sunlight for a substantial chunk of every day

The Failing British 'Weather Forecasters' first say it will rain, and it doesn't, and then they say it won't rain, and it does! VERY DISAPPOINTING!
TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.
Its odd to have to categorize yourself for job applications when I really fundamentally just consider myself to be "good at using the computer". Pay me to use the computer for you.
It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
I thought this was a pretty interesting take from Codeberg's announcement of their anti-LLM policy They argue that many developers using LLMs are essentially heaven-banning themselves where they don't realize they're developing for a nonexistent community
Trouble with UE and Deliveroo is they have all the money and lawyers 😭 We’re definitely on a steep, steep decline of making everything shit for just a little bit more convenience.
Wonder what's encouraging Notts Police to particularly target delivery riders? Some of the most precariously-employed people in the country No doubt ebikes can be dangerous, but speeding and phone use by car drivers must cause far more total harm... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The battle to stop illegal e-bikes 'faster than cars'
As police continue to seize illegally modified e-bikes, a shop team say they are working to educate riders.

The demographic reality is inescapable: We are going to have millions more older drivers with diminishing capabilities, in cars that are too big and too dangerous for everyone around them, with few satisfactory alternatives to driving. It will not end well.
How will we live when we reach the end of our drivespan?
Our cities and suburbs are not designed to cope with the demographic time bomb.

I miss when technology was exciting. Google was cool, search worked, information felt wildly, wonderfully accessible. Amazon was a wonderland of book discovery. The Kindle is a marvel! And now it's all the rancid sadism of dull men.
