It's Friday night, it's cold outside and I'm still working on that whole social life thing, so here's a long rambly thread about the 15-pin PC gameport and its historical significance, because it's something I want to practice writing about at length (if anyone was silly enough to give me a PhD for something, it'd be for this nonsense).

Feel free to mute this thread if that's not your thing - or if it is, bookmark it for later, or prepare to be en-knowledge-ified!

The cool part about living by myself is that I can make an absolute disgusting mess eating and nobody will know unless I broadcast it to several hundred people online

it is very interesting to me how in 2024 with fiber hrwiki.org still loads just as slow as it did in 2007 on dialup on a pentium III

The tiniest x86 PC you've ever seen! A real x86 SBC powers this DOSBox machine, crammed into a vintage pencil holder of the 90s. The battery pack ended up being external, I put a USBC port on the back. The tiny speaker plugs into the audio jack on the side. #lattepanda #retrogaming #retrocomputing

hundreds of AAA games in our combined steam libraries and the most engaging thing all night in the polycule is watching one of us play jellycar worlds

ukpol, abuse, NHS, trans genocide 

The #NHS are forcibly detransitioning a #trans woman.

#PandoraHolmes is being held against her will without access to her HRT. Policy is a bridging prescription from DIY, but they are stringing her along and lying, trying to stall until she can't appeal.

This is self-justifying torture. Denied HRT because she's suffering from having her HRT withdrawn. Initially they wanted to hold her two weeks. Now she's facing 6 months. I don't even want to imagine what's next.

An adult is being forcibly detransitioned, in the UK. Make this fucking news everywhere. Before they start opening special camps for trans people.

This is the 8th stage of #genocide

This is what Republicans want for all of us. This is what Biden silently condones. This is what Starmer, Sunak, and the NHS want for all of us.

If you're trans, never forget we are fighting for our lives. If you call yourself an ally, fight for us :heart_trans:
