There was a window of time starting about 2005 and ending about 2025 when it was easy for an average person to create and distribute a genuine image or video, but difficult for an average person to create a fake image or video that stood up to scrutiny. That was the window of time that citizen […]

If you think that trans folks rights is far left ideology — Congratulations! You just bought into the far right ideology whether or not it was cloaked well in misinformation. Take a step back from what you are hearing from whatever media you are consuming and do your own research. It’s pretty […]

Excellent reporting from Heated and Atmos. It looks like some of the biggest investors in the anti-trans movement are fossil fuel billionaires who are trying to use trans issues to ensure that Republicans pass policies favorable to their industry. heated.world/p/fossil-fue...

Here’s an excellent cloud ☁️

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people. His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority. Subscribe to support our journalism.

We in Canada recognize the sovereign state of Palestine which is illegally occupied by its neighbour Israel.

One of my bugbears with news in the UK is that whenever there is a foreigner speaking in not English, they (often badly) dub over it. Please for the love of science, just subtitle it instead. Then people which understand the language spoken don't get a dumbed down version, and the public might […]

Right on ✊🏻 (The Mexican president has re-affirmed support for the existence of a Palestinian state, recognized a Palestinian ambassador for the first time, and called the genocide in Gaza what it is.) […]

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

TFW you spend hours debugging a randomly-broken #wordpress unit test, digging into layers of other people's code looking for the cause of an esoteric issue with the integration framework... only to realize the actual code was broken, and the test was correctly pointing that out 🫠😅 #tdd life […]

Sounds so cool, gonna test it out. Anyone using this already have have thoughts? The lack of Safari support is the biggest bummer. Our site has a lot of writers with all kinds of browsers including older ones, I'll have to make sure the "fallback" still allows them to upload […]

Happy Autumnal #equinox lovely people. Today we shall all share roughly the same amount of daylight and to celebrate this moment with you, here’s some pictures from the morning dog walk.

Ada wishes you a cozy 😽#caturday

1. Today, 95 Democrats voted to "honor the legacy" of Charlie Kirk, calling him a "model for young Americans." Kirk was notable for practicing anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans extremism, racism, and violent rhetoric. Among the yes votes was Trans Rep. Sarah McBride. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Hmmm.

It's taken a few years to get there (starting with the ugly titanium design), but I think the iPhone Pro is now firmly in the function-over-form category. Especially with NATO orange, it feels chonky, industrial. Much like the MacBook Pros are too chonky for me, maybe the Pro lineup is no longer […]

Didn’t have the big camera but managed to grab this phone pic of the barred owl we spotted in Mont Royal park in Montreal! It was being chased around by a peregrine falcon! The falcon was squawking up a storm which made it easy to follow them both around 😲 #owl #wildlifephotography #montreal

Rest in peace, Radna Sahaltuev (1935-2025), your art is forever in my DNA😭

Can't wait to debug these #php errors 😵‍💫

Racing as Rosalina: you’re trans Racing as Waluigi: you’re trans and your parents are home Racing as one of the generic enemies: you’re nonbinary Racing as Toad: you’re gay Racing as Yoshi: you’re a furry Racing as Mario: you’re straight and your children are home #mariokart #mariokartworld

Perhaps it's time to tap the chart again. Left-handed people were once seen as sinister (the word sinister, from Latin, originally meant "left" or "on the left side") so kids were forced to be right-handed. However, with advances in science it became clear […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

@IceCubesApp My #1 feature request for Ice Cubes on macOS would be keyboard navigation (up/down arrows to navigate timeline). I’m sure it’s a PITA to develop, but it makes a big difference on desktop, and I bet there are iPad people who would enjoy it too if it worked the same there. Thanks […]

Is it just me or is it embarrassing that #wordpress added a whole new "full site editing” modality to customize themes and it has no built-in support for honoring dark/light mode based on browser preference? What a missed opportunity. I guess they can put it in the mode they make us switch to […]

It's so lovely seeing my photos used in this kind of coverage! Props to all the incredible indigenous language activists I met at this event, it was really eye-opening ✊🏻 @globalvoices […]

Having lost more hours to reading criminal complaints over the years than I care to remember, I can confidently state that I have never encountered one as entertaining and complete as the one that dropped today, charging a 22 y/o Oregon man with operating […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Finally checked out a #wordpress Mexico meetup, was great to hang out with some nerds and practice mi español! #cdmx

This building makes me nervous. If you try to look at this building from the ground you must fall over.

All modern digital infrastructure in 2025 (seen elsewhere):

If anyone else has an old Amazon S3 bucket that still charges you but you're ignoring it, go make sure that logging is disabled. I finally went to check one I created in 2011 and realized that 99.9999% of what I was paying was just for it to save its own log […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Liquid Glass with the break-glass-in-case-of-emergency accessibility options literally looks like an OS out of the 90s. Just stick a Platinum toolbar across the top. It feels like it would be a colossal mistake to frustrate users enough to force them to use […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

The absolute depravity of this from a Canadian national newspaper. I am basically speechless with rage.

"Violent crime is up in Washington, DC" says man who pardoned the largest group in history that committed violent crimes in Washington, DC.

[US politics, Trump, Washington DC] Jesus Murphy, just release the damn files and be done with it. Everyone already knows he's a creep, he's bulletproof. This madness is unnecessary. Sending love to the United Statesers, may you all be safe 🙏🏻 […]

Say hello to every dog.

Laughed our asses off at The Naked Gun (2025). Near perfect reboot, lots of fan service while also being its own thing and parodying modern cop dramas as well as the vintage ones the originals mocked. In case my expertise in the old stuff was vital to my […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

This one is a real shame because the 2020 version finally had a great symbolism that conveyed the complex use of the app. New one really just looks like greyscale contacts app. https://mastodon.social/@BasicAppleGuy/114999329619902517

Obnoxious turn of events: Mexican gov is partnering with Nvidia to build a "national language model” to “conform to the new rules that IA brings” and avoid a "major disadvantage in the new order”. Worst part: "“La IA es el alfabeto moderno." trans: “AI is the modern alphabet”. It brings me to […]

I really don't see a problem with temporary variables rather than esoteric syntax like this 🤔 Hope those who want it enjoy it, and I never have to deal with it 😅 #php https://thephp.foundation/blog/2025/07/11/php-85-adds-pipe-operator/

Hot take: Any bot that uses a generic human-with-browser user agent should be a crime, plain as that. As someone looking through logs on a site with a huge long tail of content, I can attest that these bots are NOT following the rules. The other day I discovered a botnet scanning every URL on […]

the recent burst of companies flagrantly disregarding robots.txt are eating their seed corn — the entire point is that as long as everyone shows some basic manners to other internet hosts, there’s no need for some international regulatory body to get involved and make everyday matters difficult […]
