This bundle by gender-/sex-marginalized game devs looks really cool

Reading this is nuts. Google changed its algorithm and websites are on the brink of death. This is what gatekeeping is doing.

Hate to see it, as Retro Dodo is one of my favorite websites. I read their articles almost every day. I got their book and backed/preordered the upcoming two which might never be released now.

If you are into Retrogaming or are interested in modern handhelds, consider bookmarking their website and supporting them.

UPDATE: In the US, COVID wastewater levels are now low.

If you've been holding off getting healthcare or doing other indoor activities, now is one of the best times of the year to do these things more safely.

“trans people don't want equality, they want special treatmen-”

Special treatment would be if LGBTQ+ people didn't have to pay taxes. You know, like churches.

I can’t believe we made AI and used it for capitalism instead of making robot girls real

1980's
🐁 *holding ice against crotch* Dad, how come girl's bikes don't have the bollock-mashing bar
🐺 no need for it lad, they've got nae bollocks
🐁
🐺 not much point putting a bollock masher if there's nae bollocks to mash is there
🐺 be a bloody waste of money

2020's
🐀 *holding ice against crotch* Dad, why
🐁 You know, I asked my dad this when I was your age, and his answer doesn't really fit in this decade. You probably know a couple of girls with bollocks. Maybe a boy with no bollocks. Either way, girls with bollocks get to ride the bikes without the bollock-mashing bar, and boys with no bollocks can ride the bollock masher, in a lot of ways it's a more enlightened time
🐀 Dad what
🐁 I mean these days girls can ride the bollock mashing bikes too
🐁 So can non-binary folk, bollocks or no
🐀 dad
🐁 Anyway times change is what I'm saying
🐁 The important thing is squashing the bollocks
🐀
🐁 Flat

Yo sigo pensando lo mismo que el primer día que se anunció: Threads no es más que un intento rápido de captar a la gente que se iba de twitter, y les era más rápido montarlo con un protocolo ya existente y libre de patentes que hacer el suyo de cero. Y de paso lo de federar les aleja un poco de alguna demanda por monopolio. No creo que haya más que eso detrás.

El mismo nombre de Threads es reciclado, Instagram ya sacó un clon de snapchat llamado así en 2019 y lo chaparon en 2021...

Apparently, they lost a guy.

Reminder: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Good news: in the first week of March, a #RightToRepair bill, which had been in the making for several years, passed the legislature in Oregon. As we can only repair technology relying on software if the user is free to do so, the right to repair and software freedom go hand in hand. https://u.fsf.org/43j https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/fight-to-repair
