This is explicitly genocidal rhetoric.

If you don't think that transphobia is as serious of a threat as any other form of discrimination facing any other group, outside of a literal war zone, you're just transphobic.

I don't know what else to say.

Zero tolerance for anybody who tells you that transphobia isn't that serious of a problem.

@lauteshirn Passwörter sollten automatisch wieder aus der Zwischenablage entfernt werden. "… tauchen auch Passwörter auf, die beispielsweise aus einem Passwort-Manager kopiert wurden …" sollte daher eigentlich nicht passieren.

Ob das jetzt allerdings die Schuld der Zwischenablage ist, die Kopien aus Safes entsprechend behandeln sollte – oder das Problem eines Safes, der das nicht entsprechend kommuniziert hat, geht aus dem Artikel allerdings in der Tat nicht hervor.

Phono jack electrical signaling is one of the oldest standards still in use -- basically as old as electrical transmission itself. With a physical adapter that you can still buy today for pennies, you could plug contemporary headphones into a telephone switchboard from 1870 and it would *just work*.

It is a god damned war crime that Apple took this away from us. I will die on this hill.

"I think it’s best to see labels in Gmail as just that. They are removable labels that help you remember what an email pertained to. They are not folders that act as storage containers for emails"

`ccdoom` is a standards-compliant C23 C compiler that has "program-agnostic compilation model" and "advanced whole-program dead-code elimination" that always outputs doom.exe.

> ccdoom adopts a more user-centric approach to safety: the output contains significantly more monsters than the output of most C compilers, but the user is provided sufficient ammunition to defeat them.

In 1938, Frederick McKinley Jones, a self-taught Black inventor with just an 8th-grade education, revolutionized global food logistics in creating the first refrigeration system for trucks, an invention that became the foundation of Thermo King.

During World War II, his cooling units preserved food and medical supplies for troops overseas, saving countless lives. Today, his legacy lives on in every refrigerated truck, helping feed the world with fresh produce year-round. - Black American Pride

I just want to say

petition.parliament.uk/petitio…

Sign this petition if you like Mastodon. The UK's online safety act doesn't just target big social media. Any sufficiently large site hosting user content is targeted. Even your Mastodon instance.

Lots of countries are making laws like it, which make it harder for *us*. It puts the onus on service providers to remove "harmful content" - draconian in itself and "harmful" is vague, often something otherwise legal so the Act is an attack on free speech.


Petition: Repeal the Online Safety Act

We want the Government to repeal the Online Safety act.
