Happy Quizno's Coyote Day to all who celebrate 🥪
lots of code with the highlighted line "goto sailormoon;" (and a "sailormoon:" label a bit lower)
do you have a line of code that lives rent free in your mind
is it better than "goto sailormoon"?

The most effective way to prevent trans adults is to eliminate trans children. The far right understands this, so the focus of its anti-trans strategy is to create an unlivable environment for trans children. Trans people also fully understand this. The democrats and mushy center don't understand it and react as if it's just reasonable "adult" things like transgenderism be kept out of schools and kids' media. They act as if those kids aren't trans already, in the schools already
Trans people are a wedge. Attacking gays stopped working, so Republicans attack trans people to get at gays. Trans minors are the wedge of the wedge. They pick on the subgroup that can't defend themselves and which Democrats are least likely to stand up for To Democrats, this is a reasonable "compromise". Let go on the trans children, focus on the more winnable rights for trans adults. For trans adults this is obviously, axiomatically unacceptable because *we are all ex-children*. Anything done to children is something that was done to our past selves
Somewhere right now there is a ten-year-old child who is, for all practical purposes, me. She is experiencing something she cannot explain or yet understand. She is in an unfriendly environment (Texas? Alberta?) that does not help her understand, punishes her when she tries to figure it out herself.
When I see trans children being legislated away, I think: I care more about what happens to this child than what happens to me. I want her to reach forty-one without being broken and damaged, like I am from all the things cis people did to me. I want the next me to have a better life than this one.
This is my trans agenda
MegaZeux running on an emulated Amiga 1200 in Workbench 3.1 via FS-UAE. It is currently displaying the "About MegaZeux" screen, indicating the platform is amiga-m68k (Motorola 68000).
this works somehow. Caverns only gets about 2fps when I run it in FS-UAE 68020 mode but it somehow runs pretty well in 68030 mode (unbounded CPU speed?). i'm sure there's a use for this port
having read Casey and Andy, The Martian, and Project Hail Mary, every second the latter two don't spend on science is incredibly base prose, paper thin characterization, "jokes" about vegans, etc. the man's storytelling has not tangibly improved in 20+ years; he just has filmmakers to fix it now
"don't talk to me or my son ever again" meme with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia founder fame
it's perfect
the example on that page used to be an edit of a picture of Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales. a shame they retired it
(Seems to maybe be wrong after checking the article, the F# keys may have been a concession to PCs in the first place.)
oh okay i skimmed the article and Fn has gotten even worse. wow!
this is a single system toggle you can flip but you shouldn't have to go flip it to, for example, make something like MegaZeux usable whatsoever. yet you do
Fn, on the other hand, sucks—at some point, they made the F1-F12 keys stop sending those keypresses (interfering with a ton of software) and instead change screen brightness/etc. by default, and you have to hold "Fn" (located where "Insert" goes on a PC keyboard) to get the key you actually wanted
a lot of Ctrl/Alt vs. Cmd is historical platform differences. the only point at which Macs really draw any lineage back to PCs is when they pulled in a bunch of BSD for Mac OS X, but this didn't include UI shortcuts. Changing their shortcuts would probably mess up a bunch of long-time Mac users
Reminder that Microsoft is one of the biggest forces behind GenAI "adoption" on top of funding and wildly profiting from the continued genocide in Gaza, it seems like games media has forgotten this

David Lynch's Dune rules tbh despite its flaws. don't watch the "extended"/"Alan Smithee" version though, they removed most of the part of the movey this plays over and replaced it with a guy doing his best Harrison Ford Blade Runner voiceover impression explaining the backstory for 10 minutes

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.
i watched this recently with a friend and honestly that may be an improvement
so it turns out that the identity verification provder persona, with its well documented links to peter thiel from the epstein files and palintir, is keeping all data of targets and linking them to intelligence databases and watch lists, exactly like you suspected

it has roughly the same energy as "fake chiptune" does to someone who's been making tracker music for over 20 years
Friendly reminder that money speaks louder than anything. If you're currently using Nitro, you really should cancel it. I'm sorry if it means not being able to use your emotes wherever you want or whatever it actually does, but this is a little bigger than emotes.

Bing has blocked neocities and all user subdomains from its search index.
We’ve spent months trying to resolve this through official channels and gotten nowhere.
Until this gets resolved, we are recommending that people do not use Bing.

possible cause: Fedora 43 broke upgrading with Wine installed and, last I heard, they haven't bothered fixing it. uninstall Wine, upgrade, reinstall Wine in Fedora 43 is the "official" workaround.
the problem seems to be that they don't or refuse to comprehend that Wine is vital infrastructure
