dee, love and enby

I follow a lot of trans and non-binary people, but most of you are young and I am older... Where are all the older (40+) people who are trans and non-binary?

Boost for reach and say hi if this is you when this reaches you 👋

PSA: Despite what you may have heard, switching from Chrome to Firefox does *NOT* mean you must think in Russian.

(anyway, get Firefox dotcom.)

you know that quote that's often (erroneously) attributed to Shigeru Miyamoto -- "a late game is late until it releases, a rushed game is bad forever"?

well. turns out a trans woman game dev was the one who said it. huh.

New: Firefox users have reported an "artificial" 5-second delay when they try to load YouTube videos that is magically fixed if they use Chrome, which has been going viral in a few different places. I asked Google what is going on. They

1) Didn't deny the artificial wait time is happening
2) Said it's part of its war on ad blockers, not targeted at Firefox

Mozilla also told me no indication this is targeted at Firefox

TIL Dell makes/made laptop PCs with internal CD/DVD drives that you can't boot from without a complicated BIOS procedure, & you can't boot from at all anyway because it explicitly says legacy boot is unsupported.

Polish old man: Każdego ranka budzę się i, cholera, te kotki. Zawsze miauczą i proszą o kolację. Ten hałas sprawia mi ból, ale dźwięk ich łap biegających po podłodze nadal rozgrzewa moje serce

A user called Aldanimarki designed these, which say "I love chokky milk" in Arabic, kind of as a way to make a point about how westerners see their language as sinister.

I have to tell him that, because he refused to give his CC info to the "subscription cancellation" phone number he called (fake tech support scammers) *after* he let them into his PC, they nuked his files and programs on top of locking out his account with the password hint "call".

Please stress to them that if they let someone they don't know and you haven't vetted connect to their PC, it's already game over.
