Was reminded of this image again today:

"I don't wear 🏳️‍🌈 [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide."

Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap).

Have you had that "Upcoming price change for your Microsoft 365 subscription" email yet? They want to charge you an extra 50%ish for AI features, and they do *not* make it easy to find the way to turn it off. It took me minutes of searching - this is a particularly evil dark pattern.

"Switch plan" just lets you pick between annual and monthly billing. You want "Turn off recurring billing" and then "Current subscription without AI".

You're welcome. Please boost for others.

idea: wikipedia for file format documentation
it shows how different file formats work and cites different sources

Sometimes the kicker about being disabled is realising we have to help eachother, donate to eachother, because nobody else will. You start to lose all faith and trust in able bodied people and their ability to care

In the face of Stephen Fry’s mask-off transphobic betrayal of the queer community, please remember this world contains Sandi Toksvig.

ChatGPT IS NOT A SEARCH ENGINE. it is an autocomplete. that's it. that's literally all it is and all it was ever designed to be. the "information" it gives you is *exactly* as reliable as cutting up a newspaper into words and pulling those words out of a box and saying it's "the news." stop using it as a fucking search engine!!

FYI O&O ShutUp10++ is a tool that allows you to disable most of Windows user-hostile features (as well as anti-features) from a very simple UI.

It has plain text explanations of what every toggle does, what are their effect on 3rd party software as well as suggested settings.

It's really useful, you can find it here: https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

If you see this car, please call the police. It's stollen.

Oh btw you can actually download any file from Google Maps in full resolution (and will original file name 💀)

All you need to do is to click "Report a problem" in the dropdown menu next to image's author

File loaded on the page that will open is a raw uploaded JPEG with just the metadata stripped lol

This was a person who made the active decision to reject as many claims as possible for medical assistance, claims that would have saved the lives of children, teachers, mothers, he went into work each day and actively worked to cause as many people a long, painful death as he could to add an extra 0 to his bonus. There is no redeeming that. You need to understand that he was an enemy of the working class, not some great, stand up guy, he knew he was killing people, he knew.
