Thank you for asking! There are a number of different ways, and it generally depends on when the model came out.

The very oldest models, such as myself, tend to have a big red switch on one side. These can require a substantial amount of force to operate, but are very reliable and durable.

(Note that this era of girlware can be temperamental and cranky; e.g. if your girl has a hard drive, it's best to park the heads before turning her back off again in order to prevent damage to the disk surface when the head-actuator powers down. A number of utilities are available.)

Models from the 90s will generally have a push-toggle switch on the front. This is much easier to operate. In the early 2000s, when ATX became available, this switch was converted from toggle to momentary contact.

For the newest models (2020 and later), you simply press and hold the nose. The girl may squeak briefly when activated. Be sure to give her frequent skritches in order to maintain proper attachment.

Introvert way to care.

Organizer peeps: What are folks doing to prevent the platform monopolies from getting even more powerful thanks to this crisis? Are any organizing groups even making an effort to personally get off the large platforms and model something decentralized and co-owned?

RT appreciate

so at this point black people have been harassed for wearing masks and roughly removed from buses for not wearing masks. It's almost like its not actually about public safety and y'all just want an excuse to fuck with black folks!
