Something to chew on, this Pride month:
As a cis and/or hetero person, you don't have to understand how it feels to be gay, pan, or ace, to be trans, enby, genderfluid or any other identity or orientation. You don't need to intellectually "get" it. It doesn't have to make sense to you.
There's nothing more to it than taking people's word for how they feel, and standing alongside them, as they simply live their lives as themselves.
Much love :BetterPrideHeart:

In the olden days of Open Source and Free Software, bug reports would come as a fix attached to a problem description. Just sending a bug report and demanding a fix was seen as lazy and wrong.

In many interviews, Mike Pondsmith has mentioned Johnny Silverhand may be one of the main characters, but he is far from being the good guy in the story. In Cyberpunk there are no good guys.
Pondering personal experiences of transphobia..
It is remarkable that here in this rural Welsh town, I have experienced very few transphobic reactions, and what there has been has not amounted to more than a few sour looks. And then, only once from someone I knew to be a local (we get many English tourists). That singular example was from a grey haired, miserable ol' guy who stuffs animals for a living and has a concrete bust of Enoch Powell in his back garden, so not entirely a surprise there
But any whiff of transphobia has been entirely swamped by friendliness and ready acceptance. It's just not a big deal for almost all. If I seem entirely happy and natural about it, then they are. And then there are numerous gems. Women mostly, who enthuse a warmth and personal regard that I never experienced before
I feel visible as a human at last. People know who I am, they understand my nature and character, it makes perfect sense, and mostly, they seem to appreciate it. I'm a bit of colour about town. Someone being their true, slightly curious self. And many, even tho I don't imagine I pass any close examination, easily accept me as a woman. I've never needed or wanted to mention pronouns
To be honest, my most constant experience of transphobia is my own. What I would never inflict on another, I seem to have no problem inflicting on myself. Thanks, toxic upbringing! Thanks, my own worst enemy.. me!
I felt like sharing these experiences because they stand in stark contrast to what you'd expect from our media and political climate. Perhaps Wales is different from England, and much of that tone is set by England. Wales certainly is different. There is still an undercurrent of the Under Milk Woods about the place. They appreciate their characters and whether they strictly approve or not, have an instinctively tolerant approach to life, when not being riled up UK national political influences. So that may explain some of my experience, and I love the Welsh for it. Thank the Lord I'm Welsh, as she said
But there's a more important point. Most people, left to their own devices, just want a happy life, would like others to find happiness in whatever way they see fit, don't need to understand everything and don't see threats where there are none. Any impression to the contrary is entirely the product of manipulation, created by those who hope that if they create an illusion of fear, people will follow.. and often they do
Of course, this doesn't mean many people are vigilant and prepared to come out and bat for you. Their private lives and struggles understandably preoccupy them, and it takes a personal connection to motivate much solidarity. Politics often feels like war and who wants to go to war, even for a noble cause unless they must? Not me.. and not them either. So I get that
It's a little unfortunate, tho, because there is a minority that could get out of control. And they are a minority. No one naturally harbours such damage and hate that they are motivated to persecute another for their own satisfaction, and it takes wretched life experience to create one who does. But this minority can be very good at creating the illusion that they are many, that their dark cause is real, and that the imperative to address it without consideration is urgent. These people, angry people, damaged people, hateful people, cold-hearted people, and power-hungry people are a menace despite being few. And there are many more capable of falling under their spell
So this slightly dreamy and very lovely Welsh town is not as safe as it now feels. All that could change quite quickly. I know that. But it's important to remember that this is the reality. Most people are indeed wonderful. But there is a darkness about.. and sometimes, we need to face it before it arrives at our door
For my sake, if nothing else! 😉💕
Love ya all 😉😘🏴🏳️⚧️
Ich habe ja nichts dagegen, wenn ihr Artikel hinter einer Paywall versteckt, aber könntet ihr mir das nicht sagen, bevor ich mich durch den Wust an Cookie-Einstellungen, Werbung oder Abo und Newsletter popups klicken muss? Es ist für alle nur Zeitverschwendung.
Next month I will start to spend monthly for Open Source Projects. Any recommendations of Projects with specific need? If not I will start with everything I use....
AI guided codeing is also an abstraction layer higher non-deterministic type of codeing. In a lot of the seen cases using templates and coders are still way better and faster ... but I mean .. better then nothing I assume ...

Musste heute zum #Arzt .Der Assistent dort: „Wir wollen für die #Anamnese #KI einsetzen.“
Ich: „Aha, interessant, habe beruflich damit zu tun: Welches Modell? Von welcher Firma?Wo werden die #Daten gespeichert? Wer verarbeitet meine Krankheitsgeschichte noch und für was?“
Große Augen gucken mich an. Dann gestottert: „Ähm…Copilot…“
Ich: „Okay, unterlassen Sie das bitte.“
Aber die Art und Weise, wie dann die Anamnese geführt wurde (die schlechteste ever!), ließ mich wenigstens verstehen, wie man überhaupt #Copilot dazu einsetzen können wollte. Und ein kleiner Teil in mir bereute die Weigerung sogar.
Der Arzt musste alles nochmals fragen.

Good news: GitHub Copilot is scared shitless of the concept of gender.
Instead of foo, bar and baz, use “genderqueer”, “demisexual” and “leather_daddy” and you’ll reduce the likelihood of getting a spammy PR from a sad robot.

GitHub is Leaking Trump’s Plans to 'Accelerate' #AI Across Government
Jason Koebler
A new website and API called AI.gov is set to launch on the Fourth of July.
https://www.404media.co/github-is-leaking-trumps-plans-to-accelerate-ai-across-government/
#AI will be pushed down through your throat and it's usage will be measured. You will be scored and promoted according to your usage.
Everything is wrong with #AI.
This is a religion and you can measure how much you believe.
Our next article in the #BSidesMunich2025 NEINth Edition goes phishing… or wait, smishing… or maybe vishing? Should we just call it XX-ishing?
We've all been there. Your phone rings in the middle of a meeting—an unknown number, a strange country code. You ignore it, letting it go to voicemail. Hours later, you listen to the message: a fake PayXXX warning about a suspicious charge. Find out what happens in the link below!

Garantierte Updates und Reparierbarkeit für Smartphones in der EU ab 20. Juni
Am 20. Juni tritt in der EU die neue Ökodesignverordnung in Kraft. Hersteller damit 5 Jahre Updates für Smartphones und mehr Infos zur Reparierbarkeit bieten.
„Der Cloud Act verpflichtet US-Firmen dazu, Behörden auch dann Zugriff auf gespeicherte Daten zu gewähren, wenn diese außerhalb der USA gespeichert werden. Wegen der erratischen Politik des US-Präsidenten Donald Trump stellen immer mehr Cloud-Nutzer die Frage, ob ihre Daten bei den großen Anbietern wie Microsoft, Google oder Amazon Web Services (AWS) noch sicher sind.“
Der Rest ist Folklore.
WhatsApp führt Werbung ein. Was einst als »niemals« galt, fällt dem Profitstreben zum Opfer. Nach der Überwachung nun auch die Dauerbespielung mit Konsumreizen. Nutzer werden vollständig verwertet: als Datenquelle, als Zielgruppe, als Ware. Ein Messenger im Dienst der Kontrolle – nicht der Kommunikation. Zum Glück gibt es bessere Alternativen. 👇
