I hate how programming has essentially been watered down into "getting results fast" for a lot of people (or, rather, corporations have convinced people to think of it that way)

I want to see more people put passion into their code, rather than just slapping stuff together.

::: spoiler Article Text. CW for transphobia, hate crimes, etc. A mob of people beat a transgender couple on May 31 after one of the partners used a public restroom in Bossier Parish, Louisiana. After the attack, police arrested one of the trans women, took her to a men’s jail, and charged the couple with offenses that could result in months of prison.

Near the end of a lakeside barbecue with friends at Cypress Black Bayou Park, Shae Sanders (a nonbinary person assigned female at birth) used the women’s restroom just as they usually do. As their partner, Aurora Rush, waited outside for them, a man approached her, used slurs against her, threatened to beat her up if she entered the women’s restroom, and tried to get her to fight, trans journalist S. Baum reported.

When Sanders exited the restroom, a crowd of at least 10 men and women had formed around Rush, blocking their exit, calling her a “tr**ny” and a “f**got,” allegedly threatening to murder her, saying they’d stop her from using the restroom by “any means necessary,” and proclaiming that their violence would protect children.

The mob then beat Sanders so badly that an ambulance later transported them to the hospital, where they received four stitches above their eye — doctors are trying to determine whether a neurostim brain implant in their shoulder may have been damaged during the attack, the result of which could kill them, Baum wrote.

Rush had a concussion, a corneal scratch that temporarily blinded her in one eye, “massive welts” (including “one knot above her knee swelled to the size of an apple”), and pre-existing disabilities. But even though she has a female gender marker on her driver’s license, police threw her in a men’s jail under a man’s name she had never heard of. (She said the name she was booked in jail under belonged to one of her male attackers.)

The couple claims they did not fight their attackers. Nevertheless, police have since charged Sanders with one count of disturbing the peace (punishable by up to six months in prison), and Rush with one count for “fighting” and another for “offensive language” (punishable by up to a year in prison), Baum wrote. It’s unclear if police arrested any other individuals. The couple has pledged not to agree to any plea deals.

“I’m more angry at the response of the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office than I am at the people who beat us up,” Rush said. “They further victimized me. I cannot just go to court, sign a piece of paper, pay a couple hundred dollars in fines, and let it just go away like it never happened. It’s an egregious miscarriage of justice.”

The couple’s attorney, Courtney Newburry, said the attack was “targeted, calculated, [and] had been simmering all day,” as a result of “dangerous and harmful rhetoric that demonizes and dehumanizes transgender people.”

The couple were scheduled for arraignment on July 15, but it was postponed at the last minute for August. On the day of their postponed arraignment, the Bossier Parish police jury voted unanimously for Ordinance No. 22, which imposes criminal sanctions (up to a year in jail) on anyone who refuses to leave any restroom or changing facility on public parish property that doesn’t match the user’s sex they were assigned at birth.

The ordinance punishes any police officers, janitors, or employees who fail to remove an individual whose gender or sex have been called into question, Baum noted, adding that it’s unclear whether the ordinance is currently in effect. A public comment hearing about the ordinance is reportedly scheduled for September 22.

Baum wrote that the ordinance was personally requested by Bossier Parish Sheriff Julian Whittington after the attack upon Rush and Sanders.

Police juror Glenn Benton told Baum, “There was nothing on the books for him to do as law enforcement [in response to the attack and arrest]. That’s why he asked us to do it.”

Honestly, vile shit all around

lmao they couldn't get their shitty image generator to write maga

I think it's supposed to be use after free, but it isn't clear because none of the others use that layout

For those who don't know: "use after free" is a programming term that means you tried to use something that was stored in a certain place in memory after that thing was already freed (removed from that space in the memory). As a result, you get unexpected behavior. This can be exploited to allow an attacker to get a program to run anything they want.

It can also be read as "Love Owls" if you insert some vowels, I think.

If anything the AI companies would probably use it to know which code to scrape since the models tend to collapse when trained on their own output

Image with more pixels for anyone who wants it

The project is the "official community continuation of the conduwuit homeserver". Conduwuit was a popular matrix backend until the project was archived.

Although interestingly, conduwuit says the official continuation is Tuwunel. interesting

I can rotate an apple in my head, but normally it doesn't stop rotating

Yup

Came out something like 4-5 years ago I think?

(The big trans flag on r/place 2021 cracked my egg, so I have a weird relationship with reddit lol)

Realistically, I don't expect anything else under capitalism, but I still wish it was more prominent.

I really like seeing foss passion projects made by one or two people because they tend to have passion behind them, and they're made for something other than profit.

Fuck capitalism and fuck what it did (and does) to every art form.

I think it's really funny that it's a flatpak used to manage AppImages

It's supposed to say, "The prime directive is more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules."

Another way of saying it would be, "The prime directive is more of a 'guideline' than a rule."

I think it's something along the lines of:

A lot of vegans are vegan for ethical reasons, i.e. animal products are cruel to animals and tend to harm the environment. So it makes sense they'd be against something so power-hungry which is also destroying the environment so we can have arrangements of pixels that look pretty I guess.

I want to think that they were gonna name it something like "skate!", but then it was really shitty or something, so someone sneakily renamed it "skate." at the last second

I believe the meme refers to websites giving that popup when they detect an ad blocker

Take this with a grain of salt as I've never touched NixOS mobile and thus have obviously not tested any of this.

I think the solution is change the device = "oneplus-enchilada"; to device = "oneplus-fajita"; on line 29 of flake.nix

Theoretically, the rest of the guide should work.

It looks like the 6T will use the same firmware at the regular OnePlus 6

My laptop has a control key there. I know on some larger desktop keyboards there's the application key, but I've not seen one on many keyboards from the last 10 years

I have a 9-digit .xyz domain through cloudflare and I think I pay like $1-2 $0.87 a year for it

I'm not sure if lineage has this option, but on my Pixel 8, at least, there's an option in system -> gestures called One-handed mode. If you use gesture navigation, it lets you swipe down on the navigation bar to either drag the top of the screen into reach or open the notification drawer. You can also map it to the accessibility button (and put it in the navigation bar) if you use the 3-button navigation.

I'm sure you're content with your solution, but I just wanted to throw this out here in case you wanted to try something new. ^.^
