Two Trans Women Released in Uganda

A victory for solidarity and collective action.

Working with our partners at AQNetwork, Trans Rescue helped mobilise emergency support to secure the release of two trans women detained at Luzira Prison.

Concerned for their safety, we are grateful to our supporters and everyone who helped raise the bail funds.

Two women are out. Solidarity in action.

I opened a support ticket for Azure (unrelated to M365 outage) about a preview feature not enabling. After the second AI slop repeating back everything I wrote, and hallucinating how you even enable preview features, I told the bot to get me a person who knows the system.

Two days later I finally find the relevant Learn article on my own, and fix the issue (wrong feature selected due to crappy documentation). The bot never responded.

@serge I’d be very careful with activity-sort: that allows active people to shape how the site appears to newcomers.

I’ve seen that destroy a community, because the most contentious issues are always visible, while the constructive discussions where people think before they write are buried.

@dfraser last time I checked neither babies nor strollers injured or threatened anyone seriously

See what happens to a country that indulges it's fascist fringe?

Don't worry, check it out: I brought a disk, and we can copy this and play it on my brother's computer

I really need to build a local NAS. And an off-site backup. But I don't want to spend many thousands of dollars doing that or end up with very used drives that will fail quickly. Ugh.

@ai6yr well it really depends how much cocaine you normally do

I believe you are looking for PeerTube. Or Loops if you make more short form videos.

@samuelpepys ouch, that's some tough love - nothing like maybe picking up your kid from the cops only because they might execute him. The man felt more love for his cheese #1666 #greatfireoflondon

when i was 12 years old, my sister and i bought a sega genesis. i begged and pleaded for a copy of Toejam & Earl for christmas that year, to the degree that my mom said if i brought it up one more time i’d never get it. 😅

she did buy it for me in the end, at the astronomical cost of $100 CAD (in 1991 dollars - a LOT of money back then)

my sister and i played it to death in co-op mode, and it became the game that we still talk about 30+ years later. i wouldn’t even realize it was my first roguelike until my late 20s.

ten years ago i stumbled upon this underwatched interview with Toejam & Earl co-designer greg johnson. and i see that it is still criminally underviewed.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=xiakIFY5gBw

greg does something i’ve never seen before: he asks the interviewer dozens of questions about what makes the game fun to play, what would make it more enjoyable, and how he thinks the game could be improved.

it inverts a traditional game designer interview into a thoughtful, fascinating insight into player-led design. even if you’re not into computer games at all, greg’s insightful questions are a model for creative thinking in conversation

I spent way too much time on and way over-thought making it so that this "plot zoom" feature always shows a reasonable x axis range with sensible breaks while still providing a significant difference across the whole range of the slider.

The trick was to just hard-code a series of x axis steps that humans would expect (5,10,25,50,100, ...) and to give the zoom factor a logarithmic scale internally.

Apparently 2005... a 2-part mini series. NBC

Adapted story for the time... so not identical.
