⚧️ info request: a lot of writing about "third genders" is very outdated and bad. can anyone recommend resources (especially academic books + papers) that are recent-ish and NOT bad?

apropos of nothing, here's an old blog post i did about piracy and when/whether it's ok and things like that when the people who make the games aren't even getting to keep their jobs, far less profit from a game's success, pirate those suckaz tbh www.joewintergreen.com/one-time-a-g...

early on in my transition before there were any noticable changes from HRT, i explained to one of my gamer friends that being on estrogen felt like getting the right drivers installed on a gaming PC. it actually made him understand super well and he said it was a good metaphor

understanding the malleability of sex as a core tenant of transness is to me what informs my radical positions on bodily autonomy as a fundamental political issue because so many debates boil down to the question of whether or not you are allowed control over your own body and how it changes.

Apparently, if you activate the "Manuel d'Inkscape" menu entry on the latest Inkscape version, it takes you to a manual about a six year old version…

Virus.DOS.SSR doing this (picture source: danooct1) and blaring a siren on the PC beeper if it detects certain TSR software running is really fun

Super Mario Galaxy 2 contains an unused post-processing effect that is supposed to draw an outline around objects and make the game appear like a comic book. This likely went unused due to looking very rough and filling objects with random black splotches.

On the fourth of July, 1980, about fifteen trans women went to one of the most upscale public swimming pools in Milan, took off their tops, and started lounging around. It was a Friday, and the height of the summer vacation, so there were plenty of families with young children around. 1/

My parents were low income so I often just browsed game shops as a kid. Sometimes mum let me get a game. It'd cost her whole day's wage and a chunk of our rent. Dad once told me to check under the car seat and Pokemon Red was there in a bag. Ownership isn't the only thing we lose with physical media

ip address changed, again!?

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

this post is a reminder that Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is the enemy, not digital-only content we can scrape and back up CDNs and decryption keys! we can fight the restrictions imposed upon us, and this is by no means a battle we are losing. not giving up to doomerism that easily bucko

hey its disability pride month!! :D im disabled and a lot of my art features disabled characters, so heres an astral guard picture with them celebrating :) #astralguard

interesting that the firefox tab preview thumbnails are not the same on tab mouse hover and in the recent tabs switcher (ctrl-tab)

thank you android for spamming the "high data usage" notification on my computer through KDE connect. really appreciating being reminded every minute about the fact that i have used more than the set warning value

Good Evening, “video games” was a 45 year sociological study conducted by hardware development industries. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”

this biblically accurate power connector CAN hurt you. it has two interlock pins to disable the outputs because this cable has exposed pins!

A guy in a cargo bike helps someone catch a bus in Chicago.

So many cyclist deaths begin with a stationary driver blocking the bike lane. The disconnect between cyclists, who see this as a life-threatening reckless action, and drivers, who see this is a minor parking infraction, is what often leads to discord.

i have "fansubbed" an old swedish youtube video i like. it's 18 years old and 2 minutes long. i hope you'll enjoy it too

funny how frequently my ipv6 address changes. kinda ruining the whole point of ipv6. thanks ISP!

fun fact that's not covered: with a bright enough 720nm LED in the dark, you can see beyond CIE 1931. i use a custom-made ~40w Emisar flashlight. it lies outside the rod cells' spectral response curve and only stimulates the cones, which is ordinarily impossible for light

Bsky/ATproto devs love to brag about how it avoids the shortcomings of ActivityPub wrt missing replies or missing data and yet “posts has a reply counter that says 2 and yet nothing shows as replies” and “I just liked a whole thread and the like icon doesn’t reflect that” only happens here.
