Unfriendly #Pride reminder that rainbow capitalism is better than openly bigoted capitalism.

We *want* them to value our money more than our enemies' money. We want them to be ashamed of their right-wing executives, and to support their queer employees' Pride initiatives.

It helps literally keep us alive. Now more than ever, with diversity and inclusion programs getting shut down all over the place.

So this is a thing that is VERY VERY much nowhere near done yet, but I want to share what I've got so far. It's a list of as many retro games as I can find which had a trans person on the dev team or otherwise involved in some way, along with a quick summary of who and what they did. It's partially an attempt to counter the narrative that trans people are some New Thing that's only just showed up on the gameing scene and also society in general, which sometimes these kinds of lists can accidentally imply, and also it's just kind of a fun bit of HEY LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL SHIT TRANS PEOPLE DID. I've found over 170 games so far, with quite a lot I'm still to properly go off on.

@osnews you'll have to rip flatpak from my cold dead hands

@kauer @osnews why

@osnews This is awful news. The Linux desktop direly requires platforms like Flatpak to keep becoming relevant and provide a clean base for end-user devs to develop and distribute their software. Especially with immutable distros flatpaks are incredibly useful as well.
When Flatpak folds even more work would be necessary to make AppImages or Snap a proper option for most distros, and given the rising popularity of Linux we'd see companies pushing their own commercial stores. The worst timeline.

@MOULE bluesky at protocol logo

wait, people actually use windows? wow

i hate rainbow capitalism but now that trump is in office, tomorrow we will see which companies at least pretend to care about us a little bit and which companies are gonna fold and not even change their pfp now that it's not cool anymore

I'm still stuck on the whole [ChatGPT is obviously a search engine because, I personally, use it as a search engine] argument. By that argument, pennies *are* both fuses and screwdrivers, condiment/pinch bowls *are* meeple trays, a cucumber *is* a dildo, and the ER can tell you what butt plugs are.

The proposition that a tool is solely defined by how you use it is, in a word, absurd.

@cinebox @soatok like, it's so silly, there's literally no point whatsoever to having "standards" like this

@halva @soatok i think "disservice to humanity" is the right way to describe business of this sort

also since it hates anubis with a passion it wrote a firefox extension to skip anubis entirely. its currently in review but will be on the store here once mozilla approves it and can be loaded from a .zip already and is also on git.gay

Elon Musk is paying Telegram $300m a year to integrate xAI into the product.

And there goes my cybercrime group tracking, deleted my account.

I find it weird when things like instructions use "he/she/etc." To refer to the user or target or some such.

Like, people going out of their way to just use an engendered pronoun; or simply avoiding pronouns and explicitly naming the subject being referred to.

And then the "(s)he" which seems just highly inaccessible; not to mention enforcing binaries.

@guigui that's exactly why people fear security updates

@tortoise that is likely not a performance problem lol

@tortoise why's that giving you trouble. sounds like pretty solid specs to me
