I don't need pride because I want to be happy with who I am. I'm not, being intersex fucking sucks because my body straight up *does not function*.
I need pride, and especially intersex at pride, because genital mutilation of intersex children has only been outlawed in … just kidding, it's legal and widely practiced almost everywhere.

This post brought to you by: My anger at my fucking body not functioning. Again.

High-key disappointed that mastodon poll options are so short because the 4ᵗʰ option should really read “No, because my life is governed by DIN EN 45501 and I can not unsee the horrors” but that doesn't fit

If your kitchen/coffee/common usage scale tells you something weighs e.g. 436.8g, do you think that's accurate and it weighs exactly 436.8g (within the digits the scale displays at least)?

In other news I finally got around to painting testers for all my polishes and I have to say it has become quite the collection :blobcatheadphones: :blobcatbox:

I made a tiny script that uses systemd socket activation to host local Rust apidocs on-demand so I can throw like "@rustupdoc Vec" at my firefox even when I'm on the train with German Internet.

In case something like that is useful for you the code (all *60 lines of it*, it really is tiny) is here: https://codeberg.org/dequbed/rustupdoc
Dependencies are python-systemd (which probably comes preinstalled with your Linux) and aiohttp (which your local package manager almost assuredly has available)

Hi photography bubble, I need your help!
Do you export your photos to JPEG XL / JXL and if yes, what tooling do you use for that? Do you use Linux or something else? I'm having surprising amounts of problems with my tools, getting truly horrible artifacts no matter my settings, and I'd like to try some other workflows to see if that improves things
:boosts_appreciated:

Uh… okay thanks for the info. :blobcatfearful:

… your loss I guess? :blobcatgiggle:

“Tigers are orange because deer can't distinguish between grass green and tiger orange and one of those two is much easier for melanin to produce” is still one of my favourite colour vision tidbits

Wir sind *immer* noch bei der Flecktarndiskussion? Puh okay warte warte ich glaub ich hab was: § 132a StGB verbietet auch das Tragen von (Bundeswehr-)Uniformen ohne die entsprechende Beschäftigung. Also be gay, do crime, wear flecktarn? :blobcatgooglytrash:

Inspired by a misreading my language-addled brain absolutely did not question until *way* later.

¡¿Oida?!

Superheros is the fantasy of a ruling class that cares about you. Which is why there are capitalist and even communist superheros but not anarchist ones. The anarchist superhero is just your community providing mutual aid.

Hi fediverse!
Given that the internet is now useless for this kind of query, can you recommend a powerbank?
I'm looking for something 1. handbag sized (flexible, but not a 2kg brick I can clobber people with) 2. that can charge and be charged via USB-C (it's okay if via the same port) & 3. has enough juice to fill a phone back up.
My current phone doesn't agree with the one I have so I guess 4. implements USB-C/PowerDelivery & works with modern devices.

You! Yes, you! 🫵
Give your spouse, significant other, or best friend a compliment. Do it, right now. Especially if you're a guy. Especially if the person you're thinking about is a guy. It doesn't have to be big; if you don't know what to say tell them that you like them or that they're really pretty or that you genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whichever fits best.
I can guarantee you that whoever you give that compliment to will have a much better day after you do.

Since I have seen a bunch of sneers on here about systemd & LLM agents, can anyone point me to any evidence that Poettering is using an LLM agent for coding? Because looking over his last few commits in systemd he doesn't seem to other than for fixing up prose. And the remaining use of LLMs in systemd seems pretty limited as well.

Or is this just another wave of the typical systemd hatred that has seen people that have moved Linux forward more than most get death threat after death threat?

My partner *loves* Arepas. Which is lovely, because I get to share something of my culture that way.
However. However!
I've been making little Arepitas from remaining bits of maize dough and frying them in the pan after I was done with the arepas.
My partner loves *those* even more.

So at this point I'm spending more time making tiny arepitas and frying them than I do making Arepas proper q.q

Neuseeland ist das Österreich der englischen Sprache!

Okay hear me out: DCF77-Style time signal *but* over the power grid. Prime number carrier frequency so it never truly lines up with phase-cutting power supplies or PLLs, yes much ECC so it survives the noise out there.

Is it stupid? Probably, yes. Would it work? Also probably, yes.

This toot brought to you by having to regularly correct the time on a DCF77-capable clock unit so deep in a building it might as well be in a Faraday cage.

If you turn it around 90° clockwise it looks like a water pitcher!

What do you see? #LatteArtRorschach

My cat has one meow that goes beyond a simple held tone; two tones that, as I have just noticed, follow the relative pitch relation of his name. Which leads me to conclude one thing and one thing only:

My beautiful stupid son is a Pokémon, his vocabulary limited to saying his name and making various sounds of disapproval and the rare approval.

Aaaah damn I need to write a cohesive text about why “Don't roll your own crypto” is a horrible statement and has done nothing but stolen two generations of *sorely needed* cryptographers away from us.

It's a statement akin to “Don't build your own bridges”! It's stupid and wrong and doesn't actually touch the core of the issue.
