idk if other trans folks experience this, too, but I find that I have a pretty hard time picking "pretend" names for games now, compared to before. I always just call myself "Kat" in every game that asks for a name. Sometimes I'll use the name I used to use for my "female selfsona" in the past?

for those who have been keeping up, looks like the MiSTeR patch that added save state support to SNES finally landed, which means the Analogue Pocket can now port it, and it looks like agg23 is actually up for doing it? So my Pocket might be unbricked soon! https://github.com/agg23/openfpga-SNES/issues/59#issuecomment-4156810871

This contributes significantly to the unhealthy hype cycle we're vertigo-ing in.

Cory is proud of having coined a term that markets the concept of "platform decay". As an inveterate descriptivist, he's overtly against pushing back on the context-collapse of his term to mean "getting worse" rather than "platform decay". But if it *fully* decays into "getting worse", then there's nothing left to be proud of. I said this almost a year ago, and I still think it's important to, if not *police* the boundaries of definitions, at least *cultivate* them with some intentionality.
Mastodon FeedThere's a strong irony that this particular critique comes up as a criticism of a book about "enshittification", though. While epistemicide may be the *effect* of highly contextual social-justice terms like "the master's tools" becoming free-floating self-contained signifiers, the *cause* affects "enshittification" far more and faster, which is: context collapse.

Fuck GitHub entirely. Their apology shows a complete and probable wilful misunderstanding of the problem.

Mastodon Feedin the course of doing this extremely simplistic citation scraping I have gone from "what's the big deal about tailwind, if it helps some less CSS-savvy engineers make things that look nice, let people enjoy things" to "tailwind delenda est" in the space of about 2 hours. I did not realize that tailwind sites, in addition to using the tailwind concrete-style classes, thereby habitually abandon *all* semantic markup at the same time

The vast majority of people who will be impacted by trans bans in sports will be little girls with short hair or arms that are "too muscular."
It will also mean that when a woman is good at her sport the disgusting grumbling and whispering about "may she is he" gets taken more seriously.
This happened with Paula Radcliffe for running marathons too fast. If it helps you to think of a white cis woman being the victim of this.
Of course little black girls will take the brunt of this. As ever.
