Inflation: Products getting more expensive (price per gram goes up)
Shrinkflation: Products getting smaller, but remaining the same price (price per gram goes up)
Shitflation: Ingredients in products get replaced with cheaper alternative that are often more hazardous to health

The European Commission is going through Apple’s OSes feature by feature, with the help of interested parties and industry collaboration, and deciding where the API lines should be drawn. It’s absolutely fascinating.

And remember, Apple brought all of this on itself through its years of misconduct and inability to follow the law.

"XX == Female, XY == Male" is one of those over-simplifications from grade school science that continues be waved around my bigots as though it's the last word in gender identity because they have no idea that what they were taught in grade school is an over-simplification.

AMAB can have XX(1), AMAF can have XY(2). It's rare, but it happens. Then you have people who are intersex at birth, XXY and other variations.

Humans are complicated and there aren't any universal rules.

I love(*) how as trans people we have to almost universally be our own doctors, with all the responsibility of researching our own medical needs and the consequences of our own decisions, but we have to go through doctors who know less than we do to get access to care, and that can be cut off at any time if we reveal that fact in a way that makes them uncomfortable.

(*) I do not, in fact, love this.

How illegal are plug-in, grid-tie solar micro inverters in the UK? LL isn't keen on solar, even if I pay for it out of my own pocket.

I'm aiming to do something small (<1 kW) to cover my baseload, so export should be rare.

There's a post going around right now that is a long, thorough analysis of the failures of technology in the last decade, and its is very good.

https://www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgive-them/

It's full of zingers like "The average person’s experience with technology is one so aggressive and violative that I believe it leaves billions of people with a consistent low-grade trauma. We seem, as a society, capable of understanding that social media can hurt us, unsettle us, or make us feel crazed and angry, but I think it’s time to accept that the rest of the tech ecosystem undermines our wellbeing in an equally-insidious way. And most people don’t know it’s happening, because everybody has accepted deeply shitty conditions for the last ten years."
