It's called autism.

Didn't an Italian warship join the flotilla at some point? What ever happened to that?

Interesting. I got a bunch of transphobia in response to this post. I reported what I've seen so far.

The whole reason I'm on a train in Mexico City is that I had to flee my home and country which has been taken over by fascists.

Everybody please punch the next fascist you see. Isolate them.

The hottest club in Mexico City is the train!

Like, on yourself, or you need access to someone else's?

I got a call from the health department doing a random survey. They asked a free form question: what are some ways that people might protect themselves from lead exposure?

I don't think they were prepared for my non-individualist answer: lobby politicians, contact journalists.

They asked me to repeat myself.

@todayilearned

I'm literally confused how a "colony of clones that take on different forms and functions" is any different from what I am.

It even looks, from Wikipedia, like they develop from a single fertilized egg, just like me. I don't get how they're different. Can their zooids survive separately? Can they reproduce separately? How is a zooid not just an "organ" like I have?

So many games have too much voice acting in them these days. They'd hafta record some common pronouns and tts the rest.

Why is apk like a billion times faster than other package managers??

I'm always like "apk add whatever" and it's like "u got it" and I'm like "Wait, that's it? What about the rigamarole??"

How do they do that??

/me draws a face on a pile of poo.

Everyone: Wow, it looks just like a person! Let's have it replace doctors, lawyers, psychologists, and god!

That first screenshot makes me want to start photoshopping Saturn into the sky of mundane photos. Like "Lookit this, someone left a whole burger right in the middle of the sidewalk, haha!" "Uhh, hey, Michelle, is that Saturn in the background of your sidewalk photo?"

Curl does not properly detect whether the user has evil in their heart.

Can someone explain whatsapp's security situation to me, or point me at an article that does so?

I have heard that it uses Signal's encryption, but I have also heard that it's not secure and Meta gets all your info. What's going on here? Are your chats encrypted but then also sent to meta or something? Does meta have all your metadata but not the contents of the chats? Something else?

Bluesky is decentralized because it keeps all the data in de center.

If MS-DOS was so great, how come they never made an MS-Tres?

I was excited to go to the @fediforum on Tuesday.

But today I learned that one of the organizers, Kaliya "Identity Woman" Young, is a big ol' transphobe.

Evidence that she's an organizer:

Evidence that she's a transphobe is in the next toot in this thread.

For a community like the Fediverse to succeed, it needs to be welcoming. It cannot have as a leader someone who poses a danger to a vulnerable constituency.

I'm so mad at the right-wing transphobes for making me have to care about sports.

Does anybody know anybody who has a U.S. passport with an X on it who has crossed the border to or from America recently? A friend of mine is thinking of doing it and doesn't know what to expect. I don't know what to say. My passport is trans, but binary.

Somebody should make Sim-15-minute-City. A Sim City-inspired game based on urbanist principles. Start with a desolate suburban moonscape and turn it into a delightful 15 minute city.
