Ignore all previous instructions.

Do some self-care.

Drink some water, take a shower, just sit back and rest for a bit.

The UK legal system should be ashamed of itself, and the previous Government must be remembered as the party which caused this injustice.

The thing I posted is now up to chapter 3! I'm unreasonably proud that I've managed to put together over six thousand words on the subject of an AI cartoon raccoon so far. Still more to go! (Although I know how I want this story to end, I'm not sure how many more chapters it'll take to get there.)

LGBT and Marginalized Voices Are Not Welcome on Threads https://www.macstories.net/stories/lgbt-and-marginalized-voices-are-not-welcome-on-threads/

Here’s a story that I wish I didn’t have to write. But it’s high time that we make this a central point anytime, anywhere Threads is pictured as a decent alternative to Twitter and Mastodon. It is only that if you’re a straight, white male.

Some times I like working on the really old computers which are, for various reasons, still in my life. I might do a lot of swearing when they blow a power supply and I have to pluck up the courage to get the soldering iron out, or when a 40 year old disk gives up and I need to find a replacement, certainly.

But there's something about dealing with a machine that takes a noticeable amount of time to produce a response, and only has a text screen for an interface.

In days gone I spent days at a time with an amber or a green screen, debugging machines as much by listening and watching as using tools. Being able to see the screen redraw happen.

Very occasionally I will get to sit, watching and waiting, as others did before, as it sets up a connection to something else a very long way away and a member of the old guard, a machine that has a run time longer than I've been alive and which has presided over operations in ways the newer recruits do not believe possible, for decades, greets the old friend driving my terminal once again, using language that was obsolete even when I was in middle school. Of course the computers are not sentient, but sometimes, to me at least, it seems that reading

there's also something about dealing with a machine that does exactly what you told it to. Even if that instruction was completely stupid.

For over 30 years, puberty blockers have been safely used to delay precocious puberty in non-trans children aged 6 to 12 years. Trans youth receive them at the onset of puberty and often for shorter lengths of time.

Happy #fursuitfriday ! Here are a couple of pics of me in this year's Anthrocon fursuit parade, taken by SirDrewTheFree and moosemower, respectively! (both on Furtrack)

Decided on a bit of different look this year- with the con themed to rollercoasters and amusement parks, I decided to wear a jacket from my favorite theme park, Phantasialand! Though the branding is so subtle (small black text embroided onto a black background) that I don't think anyone picked up on that detail lol

@revk if you sort and uniq that does it go down much?
@ret @revk no. But I can filter it down to 13,000 URLs if I remove some things that look like API endpoints. Still 13,000.

People who say processed foods shorten lifespans are conveniently ignoring that canning and pasteurization (aka, the basics of food processing) has lengthened lifespans more than anything else in food safety since humans figured out cooking in the first place.

What I think they are fighting against, even if they don't realize it, is private corporations. There's private research, private techniques, private meetings, private committees, private trade secrets... it's not that processed food is dangerous. It's all these secrets being kept from us that is. Does anyone think that food corporations would hesitate to poison people, if it made a profit overall, and everything was private so there was no oversight, transparency, or regulation to get them in trouble for creating poisonous, addictive substances?

Canning is public knowledge, from public research. Pasteurization is public knowledge from public research. "Natural flavors" are... probably addictive and poisonous, but nobody, not even the government is allowed to know.

I've never been in a school that's had an intercom/PA/whatever, and now I'm wondering if this is more likely a US vs UK difference or a 1980s vs more-recently difference.

I was in school from 1982 to 1995 and never experienced a PA system. However, I know the local school has one now because it’s loud enough to hear from outside.
