sadly @aero_planes@twitter.com is still a bit of an incomplete experiment; I wish there were a free source of more interesting data (it seems to pick up planes by aircraft registration only; no flight or operator info)

??? what does this mean, apple ???

I was told on the phone I could just walk in once I got the latter email?

maybe we should normalise adult gender reveal parties

just, every so often you invite some friends around, play drumroll.mid, and go “yep I’m still a girl!” and everyone claps

occasionally someone changes and everyone claps still! chill as hell 👏🏼

I guess all I can do is continue to regard these things with suspicion, avoid enabling such systems myself as a programmer, and try to empower people who will listen and not consider me a tin foil hatted weirdo with the facts of the matter?

@giantessgnostic I mean, given the queer posts seem to have disappeared all mysterious-like… I doubt it

@vahnj what’s that got to do with anything????
