i wasn't including the file attributes as part of the send so it was fine on the remote machine

yeah it has partial resumes, can do block level diff only updates, compress for transmission (not here because it's not gonna improve on x264 obvs), probably more but also it's just what i'm used to

permissions on the file were screwed up and i just needed to get the transfer started quickly rather than figure out why

Seen but not heard: The New York Times failed to quote trans people in over 60% of 2023 stories on anti-trans legislation A new report from Media Matters and GLAAD finds that The New York Times excluded the perspectives of trans people from two-thirds of its stories about anti-trans legislation in the year following publ...

that's covered by @mmfa.bsky.social!

i'm pretty sure they've done a more recent broader one but possibly i'm thinking of a one-off from another group?

because idk how to do partial transfer resumes with scp and sftp mostly

no it's just gigabytes! it's 720p, michael, how many bytes could it possibly be

i would link the source but it's a bro hustle twitter character selling a gambling course or some shit so no i wouldn't

china: 200 bipedal robots dancing in perfect harmony with human performers celebrating the new year in a spectacular display of technical and artistic mastery

united states: what if slot machines could stalk

somebody who can do this on the clock should go through the last six years and plot the percentage of interviews with trans people and their families that use their names and show their faces because i bet it's depressing as fuck

these are really good metaphors!

there are a bajillion goobers who never upload anything but facebook jpgs uploading their facebook jpgs at gigabit speeds while we pay a whole extra fee not to have to carrier pigeon shit out at 10mbps

it's absurd how low even the advertised cable upload speeds still are everywhere you can't get fiber to the home

the recipient is a vps at data center that has functionally infinite bandwidth for this kind of thing so obviously it's our end that's shit

i had to teach a whole entire friend how to torrent instead of being able to just give them a .gay link bc it was taking so fucking long it was gonna screw with our cowatching plans

bash terminal showing a 9GB Apollo 13 encode took 4.5hrs at 640KBps for rsync to upload to an external server

we pay cox for six times this upload bandwidth. this was supposed to take 45 minutes.

one reason i have been pushing for things like laws requiring their states to step in with local funding for trans care is not because they would do it but because it would create opportunities for radicalization when they didn't anyway

same effect as accelerationism without doing accelerationism!

Stonewall will fight to ban all LGBT conversion practices, says new chief This article is more than 1 year old Exclusive: Simon Blake says progress of government’s bill could be exploited by those attacking rights globally Libby Brooks Thu 27 Mar 2025 20.01 EDT Share Prefer the Guardian on Google The new head of Stonewall has pledged to fight for a ban on conversion practices that includes “every member of the lesbian, gay, bi and trans community”, as he said that the progress of Labour’s bill may be exploited by those pursuing global attacks on LGBTQ+ rights. With the UK government expected to publish draft legislation this spring, Simon Blake said: “It’s really important that a conversion practices bill covers all practices designed to try to change or correct somebody’s sexual or gender identity.”

they are not going to give you military veteran restitution, stonewall uk, you ratfink shits. just last year you were still begging people to believe starmer and streeting about conversion therapy, i wonder why you switched it up

honestly i'm unsure if they know this. they are very stupid

"I believed in it; I still do," she said, but added that pushing for self-ID was "not top of the list" of Stonewall's priorities. “We are an LGBT organisation, of course we're going to be there for trans people, so that's integral to who we are and what we do. But our priorities now are very much focused on things like securing justice for military veterans and compensation for what they've endured. We're currently

great thank you... group literally named stonewall

i had a meeting with them a few years ago and they were already waffling

the united states tennis association did the same thing. that includes the casual, mainly-for-drinking-after usta team based out of the tennis courts at your nearest big park where every first serve goes over the fence :)

universally i have found that having the power to do thing and not doing thing means opposition to thing

it may seem counterintuitive but as someone with extremely niche expertise public bitching at all of the few employers in the country who value it is a brilliant 6D career move actually. tagging them may be 7D even

ag campbell posted this video of herself speaking at some fucking @nwlc.org gala on her instagram THREE DAYS AGO. do you think nwlc doesn't know she's doing fuck all? do you think nwlc is dumber than me? i've worked and been on panels with nwlc and i assure you i've always been the dumbest one there

full text here: https://www.mass.gov/doc/information-for-ma-healthcare-providers-regarding-gender-affirming-care/download OFFICE OF THE MA AG Questions & Answers Can patients still access gender-affirming care in Massachusetts? Yes. Massachusetts law expressly protects access to gender-affirming healthcare services.1 Neither the January 28 Executive Order nor the February 25 OCR Rescission changes state law. Patients can still access gender-affirming care either in person or via telehealth in Massachusetts. What obligations do healthcare providers have with respect to transgender patients in light of the federal actions? Massachusetts law continues to bar discrimination against transgender patients in healthcare. Under Massachusetts law, patients are entitled to access supplies, care, and services of a medical, behavioral health, mental health, surgical, psychiatric, therapeutic, diagnostic, preventative, rehabilitative or supportive nature relating to the treatment of gender dysphoria. The denial of that care is contrary to Massachusetts law and may run afoul of Massachusetts anti-discrimination statutes. Do the federal actions make gender-affirming care illegal under the female genital mutilation statute? Consistent with the statement issued by Attorney General Campbell, there is no connection between “female genital mutilation” and gender-affirming care, and no federal law makes gender-affirming care unlawful. The Western District of Washington recently agreed that there was “no credible threat of prosecution” under that statute for providing gender-affirming care and noted that the federal government itself confirmed “that the Executive Order does not expand the criminalized conduct under that statute.” Washington et al. v. Trump, 2:25-cv-00244, Dkt. No. 233 (Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Preliminary Injunction) at n.1. Do the federal actions strip federal funding…

'It's a scary time to be 14 and trans' Patients' families, however, are not staying quiet. After Baystate's decision, some of the parents filed civil rights complaints with the Massachusetts Attorney General. (The Attorney General's office did not respond to NPR's request for comment.)

everyone sees the statements from the attorney general in the first image. only trans people and their families experience the silence from the attorney general in the second image.

we are not like this bc it is fun. it isn't. we are like this bc we need our understanding of what's happening to be as accurate as possible to inform our actions. it's not our fault the most successful approach to this looks exactly like cynicism; this is just where you wind up when you do the math

what elites say includes laws; the above heuristic is more accurate than laws. it looks too simple to be correct, but that's just bc transphobia is simple. if i knew of a more consistent predictor i'd be using it, but obviously transphobia is nowhere near the first or only thing this axiom works for

it sounds & is bad, but a more accurate heuristic than trusting what elites say about their commitment to trans lives is:

is there a risk that truly defending trans people could inconvenience a cis person or cost anyone money?

if so, they won't do it.

that will be right more often than promises.

parents and trans youth cannot be expected to know they are being lied to. your governor and attorney general and mayor all say they've got your back. your mainstream lgbtq orgs are silent. your cis friends repeat it to reassure you. the truth barely gets coverage, and rarely fully when it does.

Families left reeling after hospitals in blue states drop transgender care for youth Massachusetts passed laws and joined lawsuits to protect access to gender-affirming care for minors. But faced with the Trump administration's threats, some hospitals voluntarily stopped care.

"It just felt like the floor had fallen out. Like all the support that I thought we had was gone. Maybe this is naive, but I didn't think that would happen in Massachusetts."

there is functionally a conspiracy to gaslight you into believing that, so it's understandable
