Tech workers need unions. All workers need unions.

But if you think a union would have saved Twitter, you don’t under what happened to Twitter.

He would have happily fired everyone. EVERYONE! He didn’t -need- any of the original staff to accomplish what he wanted to do.

I got a call yesterday that costco is no longer going to be filling three months worth of #ozempic, and will only do one pen per fill. This is “to help all our customers be able to access it.” I don’t think thats going to help with your supply issue, costco.

Each pen has four shots, which are taken weekly. The person on the phone didn’t seem to understand that months are not 28 days long.

Snagtights is doing a short survey about buyers fashion interests. Would be a good thing if they heard from more trans people.

Are movie theaters dying or is it just at my locstion? About to watch IF with the family and shocked that there’s almost no one here today. 🤯 This is a pretty nice theater too. We are the only people in this movie besides one senior watching solo.

@mark as someone who worked in cinema for four years… theaters have been on life support for a decade. Corporate greed fucked over the entire industry. I could write a whole essay about this, but I’ll spare you the infodump.

Covid pulled the plug, and now all of cinema is in its death throes.

It’s really sad.

I...I think my boobs have gotten bigger again? I'm 4 years on HRT, and they are still getting bigger?!

And I am one of the only trans girls on the fedi who seems to want modestly sized boobs! 😅​😅​😅​

@JoscelynTransient@chaosfem.tw avatar

Something i'm pondering today: are there any popular or mainstream-ish TV shows or hollywood movies depicting a t4t couple? Are there any that even show a queer romance between a trans person and a cis person? Are there any that show trans women as capable of being dated and loved in long-term relationships as themselves?

I'll admit, I am unaware of a single t4t couple in mainstream entertainment media (maybe there's like a single episode sidestory somewhere?). That might have more to do with me not watching that many new shows and movies though, not sure.

In terms of trans characters being dated and loved as themselves, i think all of those are in queer-centered media like the L Word, Pose, and Transparent, i'm guessing? (Also haven't watched those shows because i'm a bad queer 😅) but a mainstream show? Definitely can't name one, especially where a transfem or trans woman is seen as having a long-term relationship as herself.

@JoscelynTransient I.. can’t actually think of any shows (besides Pose) that have more than one trans person

Defitime to change my default search engine. Any suggestions? Bing is doing the same shit, and I haven’t found its results to be much better than Googles. DDG is just bing results through a proxy. Kagi’s owner is also enamored with wasteful computing, so I’m not motivated to give them any money.

Child: Some of this asparagus is good!

Mom: The tops are better than the bottoms and the skinny ones are better than the fat ones. So it'd be perfect to only eat the skinny tops.

Me: Things would be perfect if I could eat all the fat bottoms.

Mom: Terra…

Me: Sorry.

I am not exaggerating this:

I created a new hostname in DNS, then added it to my existing webserver config.

It was online for 3 seconds -- 3! -- before getting a 404 request for /.git/config.

If you're relying on obscurity to protect your services, get that right out your fool head today. You have about 3 seconds to get your act together.

Serious question: why in the hell is OkCupid primarily showing me "straight, monogamous" women to match with? Like, what makes their system think a cis, straight, monogamous woman is looking for a polyamorous, bisexual trans woman to date???

They used to have a setting that was "i don't want to be seen by straight people" and you could choose to only view people who are the sexual orientations and relationship structure that apply to you. Now it's all behind a paywall....enshittification of apps that were a shitty experience to begin with! 😖

twipped,
@twipped@twipped.social avatar

@JoscelynTransient OKC doesn't actually filter accounts AT ALL. What it does is uses your preferences when computing the match weight, and then hides anyone under 50%. So it will absolutely show you people who are completely outside of your preferences, but match really well on personality tests.

Tomorrow I have to interview a job applicant about their React experience, and I'm looking at #React interview question guides.

They're bullshit, it's all absolutely bullshit. Most of it is just testing if someone knows the term for a particular pattern.

WHO CARES!? If you code it right it doesn't fucking matter!

Seriously? Why did we need a term for this? It's an if statement, for fucks sake.

> Why shouldn't you use prop spreading?

That's just, like, your opinion, man!

@rick I've come up with a code review trial. It's a basic tabs switcher composed of two components. There's a little bit of advanced react engineering in it, in the way I've used the Children toolset.

The code works, but I have deliberately written it badly, there's just a TON of really bad practices in it and ways it can break super easily. I'm gonna ask him to point out what's wrong, and fix it.

Okay, the two of you that voted to get my book reading thread over here, good news! New year, new thread, starting off the year right.

Grimoire of the Lamb by Kevin Hearns

A prequel novella to the Iron Druid Chronicles. Short and snappy, it functions mostly as an intro to the world and characters vs. a full-on stand alone story. If you like this, you’ll like the rest.

@gnuconsulting and a lot of them ended up going BACK to the datum after the idealism faded.

In the second or third book there’s a story told about a girl who’s parents hauled her off on one such “wagon train”. Less than half the party actually made it to their destination. Many turned back, some died along the way.

@gnuconsulting honestly, I absolutely see the appeal of it. Our world is being destroyed by greed, every government is corrupt, and it just takes one big accident for most Americans to end up homeless. 70% of the population can’t afford to exist, purely because the means of existing have been put behind money gates.

Moving somewhere with the promise of being able to actually live off the land and by the sweat of your brow is extremely desirable.

And it wouldn’t be bronze age permanently.

@gnuconsulting Lobsang’s blimp makes that clear, it is possible to move technology across the worlds. In the later books they have an entire airborne transit system for moving people and cargo. It’s only iron that can’t be carried, other metals are fine.

Plus, they had geographical survey data of where all the resources are, resources fully unplundered and even surface level. Yea the early colonies have a hard setup process, but iron is easy to forge when hydrocarbons are plentiful.

twipped,
@twipped@twipped.social avatar

@gnuconsulting I’m not saying its a good idea. I’m saying that its the kind of fanciful hope that draws a lot of suckers.

I mean, you know what religion does to people. This is another kind of religion.
