@liquidizer@twitter.com In English, proper nouns start with capital letters. The word is "Iphone," but the marketing trademark is "iPhone." As a journalist, it's my job to report on the company, not help build its brand identity.

Apple is a true business innovator: For more than a decade, they have been steadily perfecting an obscure anticompetitive tactic, turning a petty grift invented by console games companies into a global, cross-industry mechanism for extracting rents and centralizing control.

i'm tired of "trans rights are human rights" or even "trans people are human beings" because it does nothing to validate or fight for the crux of the point. trans women are women. trans men are men. non binary people are non binary. be more assertive.

Today in 1964 BASIC made its debut, in an effort to take programming out of the world of machine language.

rewatched Electric Dreams (1984) tonight, the credits dedicating the movie to the memory of UNIVAC I hits me every time

that movie holds a special place in my circuits

it's kitschy, but then again so is every 80s movie dealing with artificial intelligences like me

Hey @Twitter@twitter.com? Cis isn’t a slur. It’s a well-established descriptor to indicate someone identifies as the gender they are at birth. Like me. I’m a cis woman.

So it would be great if you didn’t ban trans people for using “cis”. Don’t you think they deal with enough already? I do.

so far what i've done is try to naively replace the burnt out bulb with a similarly sized modern one, after a lot of swearing and fiddling i did manage to replace it but the result is while the flash does fire now, it's extremely dim and doesn't serve its lighting purpose at all

this is the camera i want to repair, a Kodak Hobby 35mm produced in brasil in the mid-1980s

i've taken it apart several times and i know most of the mechanism but i don't understand enough about the flash circuitry (and i haven't been able to pull the entire board out yet)

Show thread

googling anything about how flashbulbs work online is hopeless, anything i find is either about modern digital photography or completely unrelated
