I'm too upset to talk about this more now but you can read my own experience with this approach here, and how much damage it really does. Please don't let them get away with this, it's so much more harmful than you realise. I'm pleading. Stop this for good xitter.cf/scattermoon/status/158…

OK Twitter, I need to talk to you about the harmful version of conversion therapy I went through a teen - something called 'desistence therapy', which was basically gaslighting of a young teen into not only not transitioning but believing that not transitioning was their idea.

In my long-running plan to renovate my kitchen, I'm considering getting induction hobs. Does any of you have any experience with them? Or maybe have considered them and found reasons not to get them?

I'm running my own fediverse instance (because that's how I roll…), you can find me at s.thenautilus.net/@dakkar as well (it's not Mastodon, it's MissKey, mainly because it's simpler to run)

for the past few weeks, GMail on Android pops up "new message" notifications for spam; the message shows up in the main inbox for a while, then gets moved to the spam folder so… spam filtering happens after delivery? slightly weird design decision, I must say
TIL: GNU make expands variables and functions in a recipe before it starts executing it, so all function calls will only see the state of the world before any command from that recipe happens

Only in #perl can a changelog entry like «properly handle deep magic (in particular: overloaded objects returning references to tied arrays/hashes)» make perfect sense 😂 (I still love perl)
