I call this outfit Upsetting the Cis.

(boosts welcome)

I few weeks ago I wrote a blog post at work about pronouns and why they're important, witj some advice for cis people. I keep being told that it was useful, so maybe you all would be interested, too.

Does anybody have any experience going through the GIC / NHS in the UK as a person without a binary gender looking to have mixed sex characteristics? I'd appreciate having someone to talk to about it all.

Boosts appreciated.

Hey developers, just so you know, it is not that I'm "religiously opposed to using electron for any and all purposes".

It's just that my CPU is old and I'd like to be able to run more than 2 programs at once and if they're built on electron I probably won't be able to.

If I were to buy a single mic for making music, what would be a good mic to get? Does anyone have any suggestions?

I mostly just want to record environmental audio samples or voice, not instruments. Ideally it would either work with my phone, so I can use it on the go, or have its own storage.

“It’s about doing the one little thing you can do, even if it’s useless: planting seeds in the midst of the apocalypse, spitting on a wildfire, bailing out the ocean with a bucket. Individual action is almost always pointless. Hope and strength comes from our bonds with each other, from the actions we take as a community, holding hands in the dark.” https://festive.ninja/one-atom-of-justice-one-molecule-of-mercy-and-the-empire-of-unsheathed-knives-alexandra-rowland/

Help us be better. 💞

When you boost a post with images, try to check if there's image descriptions first.

Check if the body of the post has a good enough description otherwise.

If either of these checks out boost away!

If they don't make a conscious decision whether to boost it or not anyways.

Linux (or GNU plus Linux etc.) has its issues, but it has the following properties WHICH I CANNOT BELIEVE I CANNOT TAKE FOR GRANTED ON A PC OPERATING SYSTEM

- 10 seconds after I select "Shut Down", the PC is off
- 10 seconds after I turn the PC on, I have access to a usable interface
- 10 hours after I walk away from it, the PC is still running the same session with the same applications
- 10 months after installation, all the same applications still run on the PC
