I’m on my phone right now so sorry for the short reply. Will expand when I get the chance (other people please pitch in).

TransLifeline used to offer microgrants until they ran into financial issues, giving them some donations would go a long way.

Both they and The Trevor Project also offer crisis support lines. I’m sure they’re busy right now and you should consider giving them your support as well.

This message was prepared ahead of time, along with one for Kamala Harris. I am sorry that this is the one we had to post. We will be monitoring the community closely over the next few days to redirect anyone in need to appropriate resources.

We centre trans people but cis folks (or folks who aren’t sure!) are always welcome

I still remember the first time I caught a glance of myself in the mirror and read “girl”! It’s a great feeling

Maybe a hot take, but I actually think individual progressive taxes are great. Have a generous tax free threshold, but individual taxes stops excessive wealth hoarding and (in the case of inheritance tax) dynasties

You definitely need approval to publish on the Play Store. It’s just more basic

Do you have more faith in Trump’s?

Not every change is going to completely overhaul the app. More than likely, the changes are a fix to some obscure bug not caught in testing that only affects a small percentage of devices. Just because you don’t encounter it with your workflow and device doesn’t mean it isn’t a critical bug preventing someone from using the app. It could also be a new feature targeting a different use case to yours. It could even be as simple as bringing the app into compliance with new platform requirements or government regulations (which can happen a couple times a year, for example Android often bumps the minimum SDK target such that apps are forced to comply with new privacy improvements).

I legally changed my name and gender!!!

Just buy a cheap Casio if that’s your budget. It’ll keep better time and is less likely to end up in a landfill

From a quick Google, it seems like Mullenweg is a complete jackass

Isn’t that what “classic” confinement is supposed to solve?

counterpoint:

I don’t want you to call me female or male. Creeps call me female and bigots call me male.

Why is astroturf “woke”?

Where I live rent is usually described in fortnightly periods, despite being paid weekly. I’m pretty sure most of the rest of the west uses monthly, so I don’t think it’s particularly confusing to describe rent that way (at the very least, I wasn’t confused?).

I contribute and run some open source projects. Some projects receive sponsorships and contributions, some are backed by companies, a lot are just someone doing it on their own time, very few can actually meaningfully support the people working on them. Personally, I receive no money for mine.

After a certain point, learning to code (in the context of application development) becomes less about the lines of code themselves and more about structure and design. In my experience, LLMs can spit out well formatted and reasonably functional short code snippets, with the caveate that it sometimes misunderstands you or if you’re writing ui code, makes very strange decisions (since it has no special/visual reasoning).

Anyone a year or two of practice can write mostly clean code like an LLM. But most codebases are longer than 100 lines long, and your job is to structure that program and introduce patterns to make it maintainable. LLMs can’t do that, and only you can (and you can’t skip learning to code to just get on to architecture and patterns)

Thank you, I try my best 😅

It was a female-sex only Australian social networking platform that used AI face analysis and then personal review by the founder to determine if you were a woman.

If Sall Grover, the founder, doesn’t have anyone making fun of her, I’m dead
