Here’s Why Human Sex Is Not Binary
"Given what we know about biology across animals and in humans, efforts to represent human sex as binary based solely on what gametes one produces are not about biology but are about trying to restrict who counts as a full human in society.”

Stay strong: Desperate governments worldwide want to downright criminalize #privacy and #encryption now, using laughable pretexts like #cybersecurity causing #childabuse to literally put everyone on the planet under a permanent wiretapping mandate like we're common criminals by default.
Smartphones are especially susceptible to surveillance, and among those devices we have the least control over instead of corporations merely renting them to us: It's time for that to change!

Aiko iOS app, totally free, Hi quality transcription, all performed on your device for privacy. This app was mentioned in the latest AppleVis Newsletter, so it is totally accessible. Just know that the app is kind of large, it is 2 GB in size. Probably because it does everything on the device, and all of the languages it supports.
Description from the app store followed by the link.
High-quality on-device transcription. Easily convert speech to text from meetings, lectures, and more.
The transcription is powered by OpenAI's Whisper running locally on your device. The audio never leaves your device. You can export the transcription as subtitles too. Aiko favors accuracy over speed.
Supports 100 different languages.
The app was made possible thanks to Whisper by OpenAI and whisper.cpp by Georgi Gerganov.
■ FAQ ‣ Can I edit the text in the app? I don't plan to support any editing. Export the transcription and edit it in a proper text editor.
‣ Why is the app so large? The app delivers the highest quality transcription on the market for 100 different languages. Rather than asking why it's so large, the real question is how is it so small.
‣ Why is the transcription so slow? The favors accuracy over speed. However, performance is expected to improve in the coming months.
‣ Can I delete some of the languages to save space? This is unfortunately not possible. The model has all the languages stored together in a way that makes it impossible to remove just some languages. More FAQs on the website.
■ Technical details The app uses the Whisper medium or small model depending on available memory.
■ Support You can contact me through the feedback button in the app or at sindresorhus@gmail.com

/kbin is a Reddit alternative for the Fediverse!
That's right, it's ActivityPub-enabled.
Which means that it connects with Mastodon, Pixelfed, Calckey, Friendica -- 100+ platforms that use ActivityPub.
What are its features?
* upvotes and downvotes
* comments
* feeds for "Top", "Hot", and "Newest"
I think it's more functional and better looking than Reddit.
This might be more than a Reddit alternative. It could be a Reddit killer!

Están volviendo, y llegarán al poder a menos que haya una movilización general para frenarlos. Cuando lleguen, lo primero que harán será utilizar la Ley Mordaza para impedir más movilizaciones.

in reply to chrysn • • •The old one imposed very wide layouts, which means you need a landscape orientation; this limited the use of the search to large desktop screens. It also limited the summary for each result to a few words; the change allowed me to increase the summary cut off from 10 words to 20 (not in the screenshot).
Sadly, it's a trade-off: information density over readability and responsiveness.
