reminder that the IOC used to do chromosomal testing and dropped it when they realized just how many female athletes they'd have to start excluding
the IOC sucks in tons of ways, but they care about the bottom line and they know that if they start banning female athletes based just on having a Y chromosome, the Olympics are gonna take a much bigger hit than all the casuals think

Released a little Game Boy Advance rom for #gbajam https://voxel.itch.io/game-boy-advance-quokka-wokka that you can play on an emulator or real hardware. It's a simple 'single screen arcade platformer' in the vein of Bubble Bobble and Rodland. Mostly made using a raspberry pi 😊

I’ve read so many privacy policies
in my life, I am now reviewing them like fine wines 
"Hmm this one has a strong GDPR aroma with just a hint of CCPA in it 😌"
"This one smells moldy, definitely had some cork issues that turned it bad overtime 😒"
"This one has a very pleasant privacy-laws-future-proofing smell and tastes like respected human rights 😍"

There should be a law against this.
Your average user is going to think something is terribly wrong with their computer just because they didn't sign over their rights to Microsoft.
I'm trying to imagine how this would work with other machines.
"Let's finish setting up your bike" as soon as you try to unlock it, and the pedals freeze up every three days until you agree to Schwinn's demands.
There should be a law against not trying Linux >:(((
(no really, the EPA, FDA, AMA, and DoL should shut down Microsoft and repossess their assets, using the money and labor to maintain a standard open source operating system for personal computers. But do it for phones first)
(just slapping MS on the wrist and saying "no you can't do that particular thing" would be an improvement too)

Dahlia Lithwick writes of “years of doomerism and nihilism…foisted on the country by a determined and omnipresent sense that MAGA was not just inevitable but undefeatable (even in defeat)”
“Experts on authoritarianism have been warning for years that fostering hopelessness, powerlessness, and political depression is a deliberate tactic of most totalitarian leaders”

Dear aging US-ians.
This is stupid but 100% true. Keep this on your radar as you get older.
"Even if you do not retire at age 65, you may need to sign up for Medicare within 3 months of your 65th birthday to avoid a lifetime late enrollment penalty."
It is significant. And LIFETIME. No do-overs.
hey dont tell people "holy shit your phone is old you should get a new one, the security issues!!!!"
do you really think i am happy that my phone that ive only had for six years doesnt get security updates despite working fine?
do you think i can afford to replace it?
"well then you should get a dumb phone and use your laptop for other things"
are you fucking kidding me? really? 1) my laptop is even older, it's 17", and takes like 5 minutes to start up, im not carrying that everywhere and 2) MOST THINGS DONT HAVE FUNCTIONAL WEBSITES ANYMORE
and really, do you think i should have to afford to replace it?
there is no reason my Pixel 3, which runs apps PERFECTLY FINE, should be abandoned to the ages. it's also one of the few Pixel models that cant even be given a new OS, since no one has worked out all the model-specific issues with it.
there is no reason i shouldnt still be getting updates, and no reason i shouldnt be able to easily switch to GrapheneOS or something else.
stop calling me a bad user for being 1) poor and 2) unwilling to give in to manipulative capitalist planned obsolesence. yell at the people making these decisions. my phone is intact after six years. im proud of that and i will use this until it goes spicy pillow.
PS give us back battery replacing, SD cards, and headphone jacks
you know what else? the charging port should be an easily replaced standard module.
we dont have to go full modular phone, that hasnt worked the last few times people tried but like, things like charging port and screen should be standard, easily replaced parts by now since those are the parts that break the most

Sold another ASR33 controller board, with a free answer back drum...
Imagine trying to explain to someone in 1963 when these were the best way to store 20 bytes in the ASR33, the complexity of the computers doing the 3D modelling and slicing to drive a 3D printer to make this, and the terabyte SSD in the machine that did it.
A group in the UK that I'm hugely interested in are Library Of Things.
At a very basic level, they offer products such as power tools for rental rather than ownership.
But it's a little bit more than that:
They have a very clear vision, which is centred around *everybody* in a neighbourhood having access to quality tools, toys and technologies, reducing waste, and also *repairing* tools rather than landfilling them and buying new ones.
On top of that: they run workshops on how to use the tools etc; this is not a profit-driven venture.
I don't think they're on Mastodon, so I'm going to take this opportunity, given everything I've been talking about this morning, to give them a little shout-out.
If you're in a position to promote them, that would be great.
I don't think I have ADHD but I sure am good at doing all sorts of tasks related to my task without ever doing my task.
Also small gas engines are way cooler than flailing an ax about.

xkcdWHAT? I can't hear you over the sound of my chainsaw chain testbenches.
What was it I needed a saw for again?
this is such a great post! Makes me self reflect and my first thought was in regard to time management.
I even pasted your post into ChatGTP to “talk” about it. ⛓️🪚
- **Building a chainsaw from scratch**: This is a time-consuming task that, while engaging and interesting, may not be the most efficient way to achieve the goal of cutting down the tree. It reflects how individuals with ADHD might get absorbed in creative or complex projects, potentially losing track…
