What is the generally accepted understanding of "queer"? Is it possible to be cis, het, and queer?

Dear fellow devs,

When you invest in a surveillance capitalist like Twitter & help them build their platform by making apps for them, using their APIs, etc., know that they’ll have your back. And by that I mean they’ll throw you under the bus the first chance they get.

We’ve all made the mistake at one time (heck, I made both a Twitter & Facebook app using their APIs and thought I was helping build the “open web” ‘cos I trusted Tim O’Reilly).

Just avoid it next time.

@soza I did once have a dream that I was a trans woman. I was just standing in the bathroom, looking in the mirror and playing with my long hair (short in real life), and I just felt so beautiful! And then I woke up haha

i have a TON of toys from when i was a kid. i was the youngest in my extended family so i was kinda spoiled and also got every hand me down from my cousins. they're in good shape- i took very good care of them. i've been trying to donate them to groups that work with kids, but unfortunately most in my area won't accept used toys.

so fediverse. want some toys? for the kid in your life or for you! i'll send them for just the cost of postage, or for free if you're cash-strapped (& in the US).

From the Solarpunk Aesthetic tumblr:

Biotechnologist Marin Sawa and her University of London research group have created a proof-of-concept for printing solar cells onto paper using carbon nanotubes and cyanobacteria.

This technology is "[...] capable of generating a sustained electrical current both in the dark (as a ‘solar bio-battery’) and in response to light (as a ‘bio-solar-panel’) with potential applications in low-power devices."

Update: Runescape through playonlinux did not work out of the box, maybe needs some configuration, and the unofficial linux port of the windows client also seems to crash. Not sure where to go from here :(((

**Interrupt Handler** @amongoose · Jun 14, 2018, 06:18

**Interrupt Handler** @amongoose · Jun 14, 2018, 06:18

Whelp, Runescape is still crashing. Guess I'll try the windows version with playonlinux instead. Wish me luck!

I followed the instructions on the Runescape site exactly. It added the repo to my computer's software sources and installed the client. But for some reason it only shows "runescape" is installed, not "runescape-launcher" which fails to install when I try. It says it cannot install a dependency. I'm checking other forums now to see if I can resolve this. Thanks for your help!

So I've been enjoying Runescape so far over the last 24 hours, but the client keeps crashing on me :( Any other Linux users having this issue?

I'm using the official linux client from their repository on Xubuntu 18.04, running on a mid 2012 macbook air with 4GB memory and a 2GHz dual core i7.

Trying to convince myself it's not weird to find a new account that seems interesting and scroll through their timeline favoriting things. I always wonder if the other person thinks it's weird that their toot from a while back gets favorited out of nowhere by an account they don't know.

**I've heard of Robbie!** @Alamantus · Jun 08, 2018, 23:22

I prefer the recorded album to live concerts because the music has (usually) been altered, tweaked, and fixed to be the best it can be for the recording, while a live performance can have any number of things go wrong.

Also there are a lot of people at concerts, and that sucks.
