I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

i'd love nothing more

ohh this is wonderful...

sorry... a *full* bathroom ban? like, no bathrooms?? full stop??

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

no dog, cat fine?

USB Device Went Away Compx 2.4G Receiver has been disconnected.

fwiw this was also my first thought when i saw the wording. just feels kinda clunky. it's a pretty small pet peeve but it looks like they've fixed it for 6.6 which is nice

Not a native speaker, but doesn't "went away" imply the USB device made a decision to leave? Like a living being? I'm interpreting it literally. Like, where did it go? 😬 That's what I would interpret if it was translated literally to my language.

i love kde plasma because these are the discussions happening under merge requests

alright ma'am that'll be 46.75 please pull up to the window

Discord is terrible.

Discord

notepad?????

i've discovered that if you change it from "clear" to "tinted" in display settings then it stops doing this. looks better but now the glass effect is less visible... oh well

i'm just now realizing that the back button also no longer shows the title of the previous page. wonderful

putting a pronoun label on my account and then appealing it just to feel something

tumblr post by jingerpi: imagine you're a child, you learn your queer and your parents are extremely bigoted. you have some friends on Roblox who are very kind, they're in their early 20s and they sympathize as they went through the same things as a kid. they offer to use your correct name and pronouns, maybe some even offer to buy you a binder or help you find hrt or support groups local to you roblox rolls out their age group system, and you can no longer talk to any adults on the platform. you can only talk to people in person, i.e. your parents, who are horrid. now you're back at square one, being helplessly abused. to make it worse, you're homeschooled, as I was. you can't reach out to anyone at school for support either. or maybe you're not homeschooled, and you ask your pronouns to be used at school. it goes well for a while, and you feel some relief. then your state passes a bill that requires forced outing. your teachers report to your parents that you've been trying out a different name and pronouns. they pull you from school, send you to boarding school or conversion therapy, and force you to attend private schools in the future that match their values. you are entirely under their control. you could've made connections with other adults, ones willing to help you out. to treat you like a human, give you access to life saving care. and it's stripped away, you're alone, and everything feels hopeless. this is the reality for many children. this is almost exactly what I went through as a child. it is not a mere hypothetical, it happens regularly. please stop falling for this moral grandstanding, it's about control- it's always been about control.

this post puts it well, i think

i haven't really seen it mentioned here but the discord thing and similair moves are all about gutting children's agency, right? like the goal of parental controls is largery to surveil the behavior of children, to forfeit total control to parents, to make it easier to abuse and control children.

i live in "indie creative workshop" apparently

congrats lil buddy that's the worst anyone's ever done it

Stay warm out there, it's Manul Monday!
