remixing a point we've made before about 🏳️‍🌈 and who it's about (270 words, cw: cisheteronormativity) 

We live in a society that's established a pretty rigid normal - see packbat.dreamwidth.org/300909. (698 words) if you want elaboration on that word - about how we should relate to gender, to romance, and to sex.

When a baby is born, they are placed in one of two boxes and raised by a family of people from these two boxes. As they grow, they are expected to develop an identity conforming to the box they are placed in and retain that identity for the rest of their life. As they grow further, they are expected to develop a drive to seek first romance, then sex, from people in the other of those two boxes - who are assumed to be people who were placed in that other box and remained in that other box - and to find those drives met by the resultant relationships. They are expected to pair singularly and exclusively with one such person and to do what they can to remain paired thus. And they are expected to sustain this system.

What 🏳️‍🌈 means to us is that this system doesn't work. It's damaging and unnecessary. And who 🏳️‍🌈 is about is the people whose existence proves that the system is damaging and unnecessary.

Happy Pride to intersex people, nonbinary people, ace people, aro people, polyam people, and relationship anarchists. Happy Pride to polysexual, bisexual, and pansexual people. Happy Pride to trans people, to lesbians, and to gay people. We exist, we deserve to exist, and we deserve a world that believes us and nurtures us.

@LexYeen@snouts.online Oh, I like that.

"You're destroying history!"

"No, we're just putting it in its appropriate context."

ALttPR "glitch"? 

@Goldkin Ah, thanks! I hadn't seen it before, or I didn't recall seeing it. I'd be tempted to start learning more glitches, but I'm bad enough with normal randomized gameplay. grin

ALttPR "glitch"? 

Steps to reproduce:

1) Defeat Agahnim.
2) Warp to Dark World without the Moon Pearl.
3) As a bunny, run to the "Pyramid Ledge", find, and retrieve the Moon Pearl.
4) Become able to swing sword and run like normal Link... but maintain bunny appearance until taking damage, bonking, falling, or the like. Warping back to the Light World maintains this status.

Not a big deal, but it was a bit startling!

@typhlosion I come from a land of 60Hz, but I respect your 50Hz as a worthy equal.

cw: uspol 

the game is rigged. in 2 weeks of protesting we've accomplished more than we have in over 50 years of 'playing nice' with these clowns. I am not taking a single step backward ever again to get back to 'normal;' normal was a state built on police brutality and economic oppression.

Turns out, pulling a statue down can sometimes teach people a lot more about history than leaving it standing would have.

a wise man: what is the sound of one hand clapping?

me, brain-poisoned by code testing: your tests coverage is lacking, you need to check for 0 hand clapping, 1.5 hand, -1 hand clapping, "1;DROP TABLE claps" clapping,

@xinjinmeng Because we've been in a cultural atmosphere of considering sorrow and tears to be signs of weakness, and unlearning that is super difficult and even more so when the constant emotional assault is ratcheting up every day?

Well, that's one reason. At any rate, I totally sympathize.

re: Griping about Adobe Creative Cloud. 

@Soreth Also:

4: Make changelogs easy to get to from the updater. (And not just "Bug fixes and performance improvements" – all that means is they added more trackers or ad sources.)

re: Griping about Adobe Creative Cloud. 

@Soreth I know, right? At the very least, wait until there's no user activity for a few seconds so they don't go typing into the void... or worse, frobbing random things with keyboard shortcuts.

I'm so glad that nearly everything I use these days has multiple levels of undo.

Griping about Adobe Creative Cloud. 

I really wish the Creative Cloud updater updater (yes really) wouldn't constantly steal focus from the other thing I'm doing while it updates. Very rude.

#documentation Artist's Notes on Mega Noir 

@xinjinmeng Ooh!

Three bits for luminance, four bits for color phase (hue), two bits for chroma amplitude multiplier (saturation)?

SNES-style wavetable sound for moodier, subtler textures than FM synth? Or that PC adventure game AdLib sound?

I know, the weirdest damn points to nerd about....

Another form of anarchism: Guerrilla public service 

Tired of missing exits by inadequate highway signs, Richard Ankrom decided to make and install his own, all according to the specifications.

@Leucrotta I know their rates are negotiable and they're doing phone (not so much video) calls. Dunno about availability, but I can inquire....
