Someone used less often used pronouns for me and I got confused as to what to call it and just said they pronouned me unusually.

How come using the wrong pronouns is called misgendering in English when pronouns don't map to genders?

My 9 year old wants a Pip Boy. Most of the projects online are based on smartphones. No thank you. I want him to have something that's completely programmable, so a modern single-board recreation of a #microcomputer seems ideal. Anyone know of an existing board design that would work well for this? Though-hole would be optimal, but surface mount is fine too especially if there's a source for pre-soldered boards.

I got a coffee roaster as a gift recently and have started roasting my own green beans. today's batch (which I start drinking tomorrow) is from Chiapas, Mexico, which is also where the Zapatistas run their coffee growers' cooperative. now I'm wondering whether my coffee was Grown in Anarchism, and if so, how much better will that make it taste?

I want to write a #programming book that is fully open source and version controlled. I'm not convinced #markdown is up to the task I have in mind. Are there any good #documentation hosting sites that fully support #ASCIIDoc?

I'm looking for something not unlike #readthedocs — which is markdown driven — but powered by ASCIIDoc. Suggestions?

Oh so like with every other currency.

How come so many German dialects are considered separate languages? Are they really that different? Seems like Skånska should be a different language than the local one then. But only Elfdalian has graduated to separate language, as far as I know, and it's quite different.

Actual covid was less painful, I guess we must have had a very mild case. Then, I had fever-like soreness but no fever, now it's outright pain. But also I had pain already now so maybe it's just compounded.

Maybe it decided it hates non-US letters after all, even though they've been in the SSID for years.

Latest "old" iPhone trick to try to get me to buy a new one: suddenly the wifi password is "wrong," after years of not touching anything.
Restarting doesn't work.
Re-entering it doesn't work (from password manager so I'm not messing it up.)
Works fine on every other device, including this one.
