Google starts deprecating older, more capable Chrome extensions next week
Chrome's Manifest V3 transition is here. First up are warnings for any V2 extensions.
Yep, work and personal desktop both on Manjaro now.
Personal desktop very broken by upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04. I think I'm just going to install Manjaro.

This short video is brilliant for revealing stigma
"This is what stigma around autism sounds like to an autistic person"

Made an alias for git push --force-with-lease so I could get used to using it, despite thinking it wasn't needed if you're the only one pushing to a repo. Well, it saved me from accidentally rebasing and trying to push a stale revision of a merge request (from working on it in multiple locations and forgetting to fetch).

hey friends, I am looking for a new (cheaper) place to live for September. I'm thinking the "big house with a bunch of queers" route is the way to go. does anybody know anybody looking to fill a room or put a group together? I prefer to stay in Somerville but it's not a dealbreaker
@InfiniteNutshell Oops, should've asked first: Are boosts for visibility OK?
Traumagenic plurality, threat/fear, repression, amnesia
@Sophie We tried not being plural for a few days and it sucks. I don't recommend it.
FWIW I do believe it is possible to heal and you don't have to give up your plurality to do it, but whether and when and how to do that is your choice and you deserve to make it without pressure.
You're rad and I hope you keep getting more rad. -iore

It's wild that you can just do anything. Date the wrong person, choose the wrong career. You can go outside and start eating dirt if you want, and the universe lets you. Not even a pop up like "Are you sure?"

people accuse trans folks of being immature, with zero consideration of the fact that they denied us our childhoods, our adolescences, our young adulthoods, our adult achievements
they made us wait, putting another person in our place to do these things
and then, when they finally say "fine, yes, we see you"
they expect us to come into the world fully formed without any of those moments

I can’t think of a more appropriate reaction than [holy exclamation!] so I’m going with it.

Oh hey! Has anyone got a link to a really amazing article/resource on the reclaiming of slurs, how their use becomes newly acceptable in marginalised communities, etc? Something that would be good to send to a well-meaning newbie who wants to learn more, kinda thing?
