I’m rewatching old Star Trek episodes to see which ones pass the B’kdel Test:
(1) Two named Klingons
(2) Talking to each other
(3) About something other than honor

Despite what the wider population believes, there are no stages of #grief.

To do grief well depends solely on individual experience. It means listening to your own reality. It means acknowledging pain and love and loss. It means allowing the truth of these things the space to exist without any artificial tethers or stages or requirements.

@slembcke to confirm what someone else said while I was asleep, it’s an independent third party tracker called the “missing” github status page. https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses/

they track ten subsystems separately, which are each in the 96% to 99.9% range, then overlay all those incidents on the same timeline to arrive at 90% overall.

I do not have any particular stance on whether github’s own tracker or this third party one is more fair and accurate, beyond “90-90-90 is hilarious” and observing only one of them has a contractual stake in possibly sometimes downplaying issues a little bit.

TRANSPHOBIA IS MISOGYNY

it’s telling fascists are eager to ban transgender women, but nary a peep about transgender men.

and no, it’s not because they prefer the men. they don’t expect them to be competitive. after all, their assigned sex at birth was female.

fascists cannot deal with the fact transgender women not only reject their assigned male indentity. they prove it is not an immutable commodity you get with an appendage.

they prove being a bro is nothing special.

The Olympics Has a New Sex Testing Policy. The Evidence Doesn’t Add Up

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying

LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.

~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.

This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.
