Scientists Behind the "Social Contagion" Myth Are Recruiting Trans Young People For Study, Community Leaders Warn

The project is called AYAGDOS—brought to you by the same names behind “Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria” pseudoscience.

I don't care what you are arguing about, if you use the word "children" I tune you out. Children are people. I assume the word "children" signals a bad faith argument and a cheap trick to elicit a strong emotional response.

Now I'm curious how the data looks for us nerds over here on the fediverse: where do you register your domains?

If at multiple places, let's interpret this as if you were registering a domain today, where would you register it?

tackily if you don't mind boosting I'd actually like a lot of data on this I'm really curious!

I'm up for recommendations on fidget-style trinkets that are actually good. Like, machinist level good if they're mechanical, or with brand name parts if they have clicky switches and levers.
I love to toy with stuff in my hands but I have stupidly unreasonable standards unfortunately.

Worry more about bananas being used to conceal imports of something far more dangerous 🙂👍

@quephird Congratulations. You are now one of the chosen few who understand this joke:

[Edit: This has escaped containment. Feel the need to say not my image, no idea where I found it, glad y’all like it as much I as did!]

"AI is giving attackers a huge advantage!"

"Yes, it is. It's amazing how quickly it has destroyed dev, sec, ops, management, company missions and priorities, regulations, information literacy, and civil society, making everyone more vulnerable."

Stranger in the house!
No; the wind summoned ghosts.
Well fuck, I'm up now.

#Haiku and Good Morning

I'm upset that I will probably never be able to play Pokopia, a new really cute and cozy Pokemon game, because I refuse to buy a Switch 2, a system that is barely better than its predecessor. Nintendo could have easily released this game on the Switch, but they decided instead to drain people for another full console in order to play it. It's so greedy and really shows how terribly Nintendo treats its customers. Also, fucking 100 dollars for a console game (CAD) is absolutely bonkers.

That's fine, I'll just keep considering a Steam Deck for a "someday when I'm rich" purchase and play cozy games on there. At least the standard Steam Deck would allow me to play tons of games I already own and just want to play more comfortably.

Thanks [redacted opensource] project, for ignoring your users requests and valid problems regarding your use of AI, then locking the issue to contributors before replying so that you can be assured that you will get the last word regardless of what others think.
