The age assurance thing is ridiculous but it doesn't lock out people under 18 from the OS, it just records their age and has to tell it to every program on their computer so those programs can change their behavior based on whether the user is a minor, ostensibly so that programs meant for adults only can lock out minors without having to individually age verify the user.

This is not true; the latest version is still available for free from the Bay12 website, just without graphics so you have to play in ASCII mode.

Yeah I've since learned that this is not actually correct. I'm not sure where I got that from.

I definitely feel the lab burnout, but I feel like Docker is kind of the solution for me... I know how docker works, its pretty much set and forget, and ideally its totally reproducible. Docker Compose files are pretty much self-documenting.

Random GUI apps end up being waaaay harder to maintain because I have to remember "how do I get to the settings? How did I have this configured? What port was this even on? How do I back up these settings?" Rather than a couple text config files in a git repo. It's also much easier to revert to a working version if I try to update a docker container and fail or get tired of trying to fix it.

If I wake up feeling like the world hates me, should I just go back to sleep?

The other layer of all this is that AGAB and "biological sex" aren't necessarily the same thing. There's a wide spectrum of people who were legally assigned one binary sex or another at birth that doesn't actually describe their sex, let alone their gender.

Centering AGAB as much as we do erases intersex people in addition to being bioessentialist and reductive.

Just put everything that doesn't have OIDC behind forward auth. OIDC is overrated for selfhosting.

Even Plato has gone woke smh

I think I just don't understand how monosexuality works when it intersects with trans/GNC/enby folks. Do you wait until you know someone's gender until you are attracted to them? Are certain pronouns a turnoff? Some femboys are suuuuuper fem, and some trans women present more masc. And I know some lesbians use he/him pronouns.

It seems like the sharp lines between genders just completely collapse into a fuzzy cloud when you get too queer with it.

Maybe I'm just too bisexual and nonbinary to get it.

I occasionally use middle mouse paste, but I switched my partner over from Windows recently and they were used to scrolling by holding MMB and dragging which seems to be the default on Windows...

I expected there to be a toggle to turn off middle mouse paste but there just wasn't. I had to go into multiple different places to disable it and enable autoscroll for all their apps. I ended up installing a hacky tool that would just clear the clipboard whenever MMB was pressed.

If anything can make this process easier, I'm all for it.

This post is a great example of why they can't just be stripped; it has hashtags used in the middle of a sentence as words, but then it also has hashtags appended to the end on their own. You'd need to handle both cases to get rid of them.

Most of the 69 jokes I've heard are from teenage boys (or the teenage at heart) who barely know what 69 refers to, it's just the "sex number". If pressed they could probably tell you what it means specifically but I think most of the time it's just "funny because sex" not any statement on the act itself.
