When there are forces in the world telling you that you don't belong, that you should give up, that your existence isn't valuable?

The most punk thing you can do is keep living, because they are wrong. You do belong, you shouldn't give up, and your existence is valuable and precious.

Once a month I meet with a local transgender group. Up until now, I've been attending the meetings via zoom, though tonight I'll be attending the meeting in person! :ms_transgender_flag:

Your #Android phone has a so-called Google advertising ID*, a unique number for your device. Using that, #tracking companies follow and record what you do on your phone, even across apps from different companies.

Luckily, you can now disable the advertising ID to make it harder for them to track you. We recommend doing this to everyone. Here's how it works.

*Unless of course, you’re using a google-free #LineageOS, #GrapheneOS or similar. :)

I'm probably not the only person who has observed this, but the four classical elements seem to roughly correspond to the four basic states of matter.

Earth -> Solid

Racist friends: Arguments and counterarguments 

"But they're a good person!" Fine, then they should be willing to do the right thing and listen to moral arguments.

"They've been good to me!" So are you really okay with their treating others like crap for who they are?

"They're my friend!" How good of a friend are they, really, if they don't listen to you and don't share your core values?

"...I don't want to be alone." You won't be. Take it from someone who has lost multiple friends over racism. You'll find better friendships where you don't have to constantly edit yourself down to be palatable to your friends. You'll make new and better friends that you can be your own shape around. If you find yourself biting your tongue half your time around them, they're not your friends. You deserve better.

Unity's received another purchase offer, this time for $18b, from AppLovin, which "helps developers to grow and monetize their apps" - so, probably not much better than IronSource, who they're also looking to buy, for $4.4b.

re: burn injury, better 

My arm is doing much better this morning. Before, I was in near-constant pain without a cold compress, but this morning I don't need one. I only feel a little bit of pain when pressure is applied to the burn spot.

burn injury 

So, I accidentally splashed boiling hot oil on my forearm while cooking >,<

Immediately rushed to the sink to run cold water on it, and currently have a cold pack pressed against the spot that got hit. I've got some red marks forearm, and I don't like the look of one of them because its texture is different from the surrounding skin.

Now, back to what I was doing before I was fixing my computer: trying out Fosscord
