I like games that you can play again and they're different the next time: such as randomizers, roguelikes, and gender expression! Twitch stream: https://twitch.tv/arborelia

Part 2 of my attempt to get the Software Heritage Archive to stop deadnaming me: the part where I get angry in French.

@TerrorBite exactly that. What they have is 100 trivial forks of the old copy from other people’s github accounts
@ryanc @endrift @antlers @swheritage oh actually I ended up reading the UK’s version of the GDPR and it sounds _powerful_
@ryanc @endrift @antlers @swheritage and yeah they now have my birthdate and birthplace and a scan of my ID, all for nothing it seems
@ryanc @endrift @antlers @swheritage good luck! They have never replied to my takedown notice but I bet if you’re in the EU you’ll have a better shot
@Gadora I'm not intending to be a power user either. The design of Mastodon makes me tired. But I do need to be able to follow people
So I'll check out kind.social, thanks for the recommendation
@antlers @swheritage If the goal is to engineer a complex solution that meets all of SWH's goals while respecting trans people, it turns out it's even more complex than this. I haven't gotten there in the story yet
But it would require them to work with trans people to develop the solution, which they won't.
More relevantly, by now, they also won't consider easier solutions that work against their goals, such as taking down their archive of ftfy.
The Software Heritage Archive (@swheritage) wants to deadname me forever.
Part 1 of 3-ish.

@nexvie I was recognizing that the scale being described is the blues scale
@hikari oh I think I know some people who have been using these updates. was there a release candidate that went out maybe a century ago?
@piegames I don’t want to be defined by tech
I'd like to find a new instance. This one's been kinda okay except it's old. so the software is out of date, and also old instances with too many trans people on them get put on blocklists and never taken off
I want to find a large, queer, well-connected, well-moderated instance. Do those exist? Any recommendations? If they charge some money to pay moderators that's okay.
@BestGirlGrace it's in a different direction, but I feel like the fact that his last album _before_ this was a classical piano album is basically this

BREAKING: Politico reports that Senator Cantwell says she will delay hotlining the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) because of ongoing concerns around LGBTQ rights and the need for further changes.
This is an important win for human rights. But we have so much more to do

Two assertions:
1. There are serious challenges for marginalized groups on the fediverse, including for the groups that are relatively overrepresented here compared to other spaces.
2. We are not going to solve those problems even transiently through "better blocklists."
There are a variety of solutions that we can talk over. I've talked about quite a few of them, as have others, but the quest to "build a better blocklist" is at best a distraction and at worst actively harmful to solving this
