You know what's *actually* the craziest part about being gender non-conforming? When you realize you can just be whoever you want, whenever you want. If I get tired of being a girl in 10 years or whenever, I can just stop being a girl. Yeah, I'll have a vagina and stuff but like, I could just throw on some mens jeans, a men's tee, a baseball cap, and stop shaving. I wouldn't have a beard or anything anymore and maybe people would still gender me as female, but like, 🤷‍♀️ Gender is personal on an intimate level, but also meaningless on a societal level. I spent 30+ years looking like a guy. I've always been a girl but people thought I was a guy bc of how I dressed mostly. But now I dress like a girl and take some hormones and people think I'm a girl. Gender is dumb. Be trans. Do crime.

I'm only halfway through it, but Chants of Sennaar is an easy #NoCombat #GameRecommendation for me. In this #IndieGame, you observe four different tribes to piece together their languages from environmental clues. Once you can decode the languages, the inscrutable puzzles that block your way become obvious, and it's a very rewarding gameplay loop. Artwork is gorgeous, and the game runs fine on #Linux with proton. https://www.rundisc.io/chants-of-sennaar/

Happy New Year, friends! 🎉 Over the last two years, I’ve been debating if I should even write a wrap-up of my year given that these days, you can do it with a 60-second Instagram Reel (guilty 🙋🏻‍♀️…

@Edent @tommorris Apparently it's a library which, given a forename and a "country", makes a guess as to the gender of people with that name. So the whole concept is just fundamentally broken from beginning to end, and the "countries" list including "East Frisia", "Swiss", and "Kazakh Uzbek" is just extra bonus lulz.

Who on earth is going to click the AI button purposefully on a Windows Keyboard. Also, how the fuck did this get accepted? You’re modifying the experience of long time users of Microsoft devices for a stinking key to open a stinking thing that will be dead in a few years. You are really gonna pay to manufacturer all these keyboards? You’re gonna be the first person to have to sunset a physical device? More money than sense

Attached: 1 video Before the holidays, we added a 'festive' output format to #Regal, which presents you with this glorious ASCII art animation when the linter has nothing to complain about. This is software relied on by banks, btw. It's OK to be silly — just make sure it's opt-in. Thanks to @charlieegan3 for working on that.
