I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any more

Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off from the seasons and nature

But at least the output is unmaintainable slop

Whatever, just wash your hands!

*cis man walks into women's toilets*

Cis woman: hey this is illegal, I'm getting the manager

Manager: excuse me sir this is the women's toilets, you have to leave

Cis man: I'm a trans man, legally I'm not allowed to use the men's and this is the toilet associated with my sex assigned at birth

Manager: i don't believe you

Cis man: I don't have any ID with me, what are you going to do, ask me to flash my vulva

Manager: no, I'm going to ask you to leave

Cis man: if you do that then i will sue you for not providing toilets for trans people

Trans woman who doesn't pass: oh hey guy what's up, I'm a trans man so I'm allowed to be here too. If you only do sex checks on people whose gender presentations seem a bit trans, that's discrimination on the basis of perceived trans status under the Equality Act 2010 and I can sue you as well.

Butch dyke: hey I don't want to tell you what's in my pants but I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable legally speaking, so i just wanted to check with the manager - which toilets do you think i should use? I really need to pee so please decide quickly

Passing trans man in the men's restroom nextdoor, to a cisgender man peeing in the next urinal over: pssst hey guess what, i have a uterus and that means you can sue the proprieter for letting me in here

Manager and cis woman: Oh my god what is happening

*manager makes toilets gender neutral*

TERFs: no not like that

BACK IN MY DAY, AI STOOD FOR ADOBE ILLUSTRSTOR, AND WE HATED THAT TOO
UK cis women - if you know a TERF follow then into a public bathroom and tell them you’re trans. Or report them as being trans to the manager. Or ask your giant cis gay male friend to follow them in and say he’s a trans man. Fuck it all up and watch the world of toilets burn.
i do think it's funny that any company that wants a huge influx of extremely good engineers could just say "we are not doing ai" on the careers site

The author of @allaboutberlin on how Google AI Overviews are killing independent web publishing, citing a 70% drop in traffic after seven years of steady growth. His work trains the model. The model is replacing his site. There is no credit, clicks, or revenue. This is what the "enshittification" of the open web looks like in practice.

Hard to imagine moving to Berlin without stumbling upon his guides at some point.
