Hello

#Conway #GameOfLife

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

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

@yvonnezlam Made famous in the NewCrafts closing keynote … was a perfect moment set up by other talks here.

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?

me: hmm let’s have a look, which library should i use?

library A: it’s 1c1h. one c file, one header file

library B: to build this repo you need to install GluoOn, a fork of MoonOn, a build system based on the Ploob ecosystem. Edit the Ploob intermediates for your platform and include them in the XJAMELLE files. XJAMELLE is a post-Turing-complete configuration solution based on JSON, YAML and XML. To get familiar with the language, i recommend these books: note that these are affiliate links,

Our university deployed a mail filter that rewrites URLs in emails to redirect them via a service that checks for bad websites. Somebody clever worked out that PGP-signed emails are exempt from the rewrite rule, so now people are starting their emails with "BEGIN PGP MESSAGE" even though they haven't used PGP at all, just to fool the filter 😂

Anybody sending malware links has probably also worked out that trick by now, thereby rendering the entire filter pointless

For my birthday, I'd really like it if my beloved fedi could spread word far and wide of Kitsune Tails. It's a platformer with a heartwarming story featuring queer main characters and personal discoveries in classic SMB3 style. You can find trailer, screenshots, and wishlist links here: https://kitsunegames.com/kitsunetails

It's coming out this year and the team and I have been working hard on it for several years now. Most of the team is queer in some form so by boosting you'd not only be making me happy on my birthday, but supporting a bunch of queer creators making queer art as well

What gender are you?

@yhancik @darius The old thinking was that you should be rotating your gender every 90 days for security reasons but that’s proven to be an ineffective approach. Modern best practices are to use a unique and complex gender for every interaction, to avoid repetition and store them in a secure gender manager. This makes it easier to change genders when one relationship is compromised, and protects you against gender-stuffing attacks.
