Cassandra is only carbon now

The more I think about it, the more I think of Friend Computer from Paranoia as being an apt analogy for Trump. He's impressionable and vain, so he's surrounded by a bunch of sycophants who try to nudge him towards one pet cause or another, leading to his policies and politics being absolutely […]

Does The New York Times Want to Eradicate Trans People? — Assigned An analysis of its coverage reveals a pattern of misrepresentations, deceptions, distortions, the exclusion of trans voices, and the endorsement of contempt.

The New York Times coverage of trans issues has repeatedly resulted in experts and others complaining that their words were twisted and misrepresented... but only those quoted from on trans supportive side have that complaint.

Coincidence or eliminationism? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social dives in.

Today is 2202, March 2020

fix: respect `.mailmap` when fetching commit info This is in line with the default git configuration, and very important for people who've changed their names (as well as more technical reasons such as forge migrations). Closes #7671. Closes #5446. The switch from (implicit) `--no-use-mailmap` to `--use-mailmap` in this PR is uncondition...

Anyone have any interesting Cloud Islands to share?

Damn, the last MSQ for Pokopia goes hard.

You can tell they don't actually think gender-affirming care is child abuse; if they did, they'd be all for it.

TIL that the directories that `snap` binds are just hard-coded, right in the guts of the thing

Hello and welcome to Deep Space Nine. We are a space station, not a starship, so you'll be spending a lot of time with all these delightful side characters like: bisexual fashion lizard. hologram of Frank Sinatra. goblins. goblin comes in 3 varieties: bartender, nephew, and idiot. our doctor is a twink, our commander is antifa and the captain talks to the gods sometimes. our policeman is sometimes a liquid and the science lady is part worm. we have many fine storylines, such as: Goblin Does A Crime, Watch The Irishman Suffer, or The Horrors Of War. As you stroll along our promenade enjoying a raktajino or delicious jumja stick, watch out for our nefarious villains: Pope Karen. clones of Jeffrey Combs. and a horny bastard reptile man who seems convinced this is actually his show. we suspect he may be possessed by demons. Have fun! Deep Space Nine: now with Worf™!

@SnoopJ I'm definitely getting that impression.

@SnoopJ Every edit adds another layer of "fuck you," damn.

"I had [LLM model] read [thing I work on], and that nobody can do anyways"

man, fuck you

Tragic: area woman thinks of great pun, but it's culturally appropriative.

Tried and failed to give Apple money for an Apple Silicon--based dev machine. Local store was just out of stock.

My version of this is getting an Azure bill every month for $0.00 on an account that does not seem to exist.

They have opened up every biome in Pokopia.
She is making the first biome absolutely perfect.

Together, they search trees.

I'm dealing with two things this week that are *completely*, and I can not stress this enough, *entirely* unrelated to global politics. But what's different is how taxed I already am, how much more this shit is getting me unglued than it normally would.

I'll get through it, this isn't me […]

"Don't read the news, Cass!"

Great. I have family in Minneapolis, I'm trying to organize health care before it becomes illegal, and I need to know what bathroom laws are in different states so that I can plan layovers on flights accordingly.

I get there's a difference between staying informed […]

Like, the mental health impact of being so completely hated for being trans is pretty obvious, and is well discussed. But the second-order effect is that when completely unrelated shit happens that's already stressful, I just don't have the same slack that I used to. Mine is a system that is […]

Man, I think something we don't talk enough about is how global politics takes up a lot of the slack in mental health capacity, so when personal shit does go badly, it hits all the worse.

Dear god

CSS transition? Good for her.

That is a round of discourse I am happy to sit the fuck out of.

Isn't this just AI?

this is personal, not international news this time. but i guess there's always international news to say "fuck" to.

fuck

thanks to AI demand, Lattice cannot make enough FPGAs to fulfill orders on iCE40's (and probably ECP5's) with less than a year of lead time. this is likely to cause supply chain issues for Glasgow revD

Every time I write a critique of the New York Time's coverage of transgender people, people always tell me, "submit a letter to the editor."

I have, multiple times.

I don't think people understand how averse the NYT is to publishing a trans person.

It's almost frustrating that people ask me to.
