Stopping your robot girlfriend from going to work in a neon orange fur coat and striped bell-bottoms (her internal clock reset and she thinks it's January 1st 1970)

Demanding professional references from people with neurodivergent brains that make it difficult to maintain contact with former colleagues is ableist.

We are professionals who do good work and work great with people but please don't ask us to maintain social relationships which aren't meaningful to us beyond a reference. I didn't want to stay "friends" with someone only because I might need them later. What an awful thing to do.

The bad: back in March, some French legislators introduced a bill to limit gender-affirming care for minors.

The good: yesterday, the Defender of Rights, an office of the French government dedicated (among others) to defending children’s rights, has published an official opinion describing gender-affirming care as a fundamental right, and decrying attempts to ban or limit it as an attack on children’s rights.

Furry is a fucking culture, not the theme of some temporary tattoos set out in a bowl in the breakroom by the marketing department on the first day of pride month.

Why the fuck is so many "Tech people" (not only Techbros) okay with LLMs eating up the planet while private citizens, as always, are the only one having to mitigate the damage?

"Make gas cars illegal!" - "Double the electricity bill!" - "Everyone has to compost at home!" - "Hey look at this new toy that eats enough drinking water to feed Ireland, let's do more of that!"

a leaked NHS internal document indicates that any young people waiting for referrals to gender services are to be asked to come in for a face-to-face appointment, and that if the young person indicates they are taking private HRT and does not stop, will be subject to a safeguarding referral to social services.

please spread as widely as you can. if you know any UK trans kids, let them know.

This is who cops are. This is who the State is.

This isn't some anomalous occurrence due to the happenstance of a protest. They are like this 24/7/365, lying, cheating, brutalizing, doing everything they can to stay in power, and that's why they must be dismantled.

There is a better future ahead. If their rule was just, they wouldn't have to expend so much effort to maintain it.

Hold to hope! We *will* take back our planet.

Thank you <3.

The best part about the London mayoral election? That the massively racist party (Britain First) are so unpopular that they were beaten by a man with a bin on his head (Count Binface).

Imagine how it would look like if they took their approach to Linux.

No installing your own kernels, that's naughty!

What, you're telling me you need that module for a piece of hardware you use?

Nobody should need a stamp of approval from a big tech company to have their system considered "trusted"

I wish more people would understand kernel-level anti-cheats are fundamentally incompatible with computing freedom, they're not just bad for privacy, that can be true of anything that is allowed to run as admin too.

But look at the language the developers of these things are using, they're all in on the platform security/trusted computing crap, they want hard attestation of your boot environment. And the reason they don't want to support Linux? They can't verify the kernel and all its modules, they especially can't do that across distros.

In the name of fighting cheaters they're willing to nuke all compatibility tools, and kill the chance of gaming on other operating systems taking off. And then they will complain about it not having enough market share to matter, which they partly contributed to.

They're willing to use the technology that treats the owner as the enemy on their own system and allows them to restrict their software choices to an approved set.
