Maybe he'll do it. Maybe he won't. He is an insane old man motivated only by hate and bitterness. His intellect leaves him constantly defeated but his emotions are too primitive to handle that defeat without escalation. Who knows.

Yes, fedizens should be open to new ideas.

For instance, I have an idea of getting a sheep and a kangaroo to mate, to create a woolly jumper.

The fact we keep having the same debate on whether or not it's okay to support J.K. Rowling, be it for a video game or her newest book, must be incredibly exhausting for trans folks.

I'm hereby officially declaring the debate to be over: no, it's not okay, grow up and read a different book.

Folks, I transed my gender. My whole gender! And here I am, running on estrogen with a whole vagina that's mine. Childhood me would think I am MAGIC. Childhood me would be AMAZED.

If that's possible, EVERYTHING is possible.

We will survive them. We will defeat them. We can do MIRACLES.

Thanks to help from the Fiwix devs, I have DosBox fully working (no sound, CD or network support yet). I got a bit upset that there's no windowing interface for the OS (yet), so I ported Bellcore MGR to Fiwix. It's half-baked, but it works.

If you never heard about MGR, it's an X competitor and a terminal multiplexer with graphics.
Here's my post about it: https://www.ninakalinina.com/notes/mgr/

I can't overstate this. NASA's use of pounds and cubic feet in its outreach efforts does not come across to science-literate people, inside or outside the US, as a sign that the country is a badass superpower that can do what it likes and ignore everyone else.

Instead it suggests that the US is a provincial nation of dungaree-wearing banjo players.
