Looks like IKEA discontinued the LED cabinet lights that actually produced a decent quality light 😦

I tried getting the strip version of the same series (LEDBERG) but it's a totally different color and much weaker than the discontinued spot lights

Did you know that USB 3.0 causes interference with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi?

Hey all I have an afab nb friend who's just starting to dig into stuff and explore their identity stuff.

Do y'all know of any currently active and positive trans communities with support for early-phase folks, esp bb/afab, that I can refer my friend to?

My DMs are open 💚 ty

p.s. he's really whiny about getting blocked. I highly recommend.

RT @mikesherov@twitter.com

You unfollowed him *now* for the anti-mask takes, but didn't for the homophobia and his active support of anti-gay rights legislation?
