  • South Korean decision to close all coal-fired power plants by 2040 sounds alarm for Australian exports

    Jump

  • The fossil fuel industry doesn't pay enough in taxes for it to be worth it tbh, it's just making a handful of very rich people even more so...

  • I'm just tryin to be there

    Jump

  • Is this an allistic thing? I find it uncomfortable when people don't try to relate like that

  • The CEO of the company I work at admitted he doesn't see the benefits of AI

    Jump

  • I saw a job ad recently for a cyber security position and the description was all "how do we use AI without leaking patient data, and also do it ethically and train it to replace our workforce... ethically" it was the most insane thing I've seen yet and I'm sure an AI wrote it as part of a plan to take over.

  • 99% of Vibe Coders Quit Just Before They Get the Bug-Free AI Reply

    Jump

  • Just got told we're expected to start doing 100% vibe coding at my corporate software engineer job, the company is also getting rid of all quality testing engineers. Goodbye financial system

  • What kind of situation would you have to be in to think, "I really wish there was an American here right now."

    Jump

  • None in particular, I want my US friends to be able to escape persecution and be here where they're safe

  • What does Oracle actually do? Take other businesses' data hostage for profit | Good Work [11:47]

    Jump

  • My job only exists because it was cheaper to hire several thousand tech workers to replace all the oracle products in house over several years than to keep using Oracle lmao

  • What do I need to read to get where you're coming from?

    Jump

  • The anarchist-faq will get you most of the way there, and the K-On manga will fill in the gaps.

    Do trans people like to be noticed?

    Jump

  • It's always going to be a personal preference kind of thing. Personally I don't really care much about "passing" and I'm usually completely okay being outwardly trans, unless it's being used to harass/bully.

    I had a weird experience the other day when getting an ultrasound where I told the tech I was obviously on HRT which she immediately denied. I get she was trying to be supportive, but it kinda just made me feel worse because of how awkward it was lol.

  • Removed

    Do you moisturize after a shower & if you do what do you use?

    Jump

  • I love this stuff, I always put it on my face. It's just enough to stop feeling like my skin is as dry as paper and it's not oily, it feels more watery than anything. I switched to it years ago, use it after every shower and now my skin is so nice, presumably just because I'm not leaving my face all dried out, I doubt there's anything special about this stuff.

    That said, I do also use a very gentle sorbolene body wash and hand soap because my skin was too fragile for normal soap. If I don't, I tend to get lots of sores on my fingers.

  • How's your week been?

    Jump

  • It's been a funny little year for me, but I think all the pain has changed me in some important ways. Glad to say I've been sober for ages now, I'm legitimately happy, stable and thriving.

    This last week has been positive, me and all my friends are being evicted from my favourite space in the city today but we've finally got a new home lined up for our federation and not only should it be permanent, it's so much bigger and better, we really lucked out. In just under a week, they'll be voting to let my trans activism collective join and I'm unbelievably excited.

    It's really cool to say I've gone from a terrified anxious mess just trying to find a social life to someone who looks after people, helps keep things running and builds community. I'm proud of me, I'm glad I survived this year 😊

  • How's your week been?

    Jump

  • If you can find spaces outside of home where you're comfortable being yourself, you can use it as an opportunity to learn that it's safe to be genuine and then push things as you get more comfortable.

    I found outfits that suited me really well. And then I went out and felt self conscious anyway, but when my friends spontaneously complimented me, it started changing.

    Confidence takes time, but you'll get there. The trick isn't to not care what others think, it's to only care about people what the right people think.

  • When does hating religious people start to make you a bigot.

    Jump

  • A favourite phrase of mine that comes up in so many different areas of life is: "soft on people, hard on structures." Individuals tend to be pretty good, genuine and caring people.

    It's much like how an atheist might be a great person, but the new atheist movement became a festering cesspool of anti-feminist right wing bigotry. Having a religion doesn't change much really, shit people are universal.

  • What's an uplifting fact that might counter the doom of our current reality?

    Jump

  • It's my HRT birthday today, two years now and it's really sunny and warm. It's a nice day :3

  • Special education ruined my relationship with my mom

    Jump

  • I didn't have an experience like this growing up, my family didn't realise we were all autistic until I pointed it out earlier this year, and even then they weren't really accepting of it lol.

    Imo support has to include listening to what you want, otherwise it's just controlling. Regardless of whatever support you have had, you've gained skills through your own efforts, no one can just give them to you. You deserve to feel good about that.

    Handling family can suck, especially when they treat you like you've described, but things get easier when you have space away from them and live your own life. Them pushing you has helped you grow, I had to learn to push myself, which is a skill in its own right but it seems like you're already doing it. Independence is hard to achieve and I think you're doing a great job so far, keep it up.

  • BREAKING: Israeli authorities have beaten Greta Thunberg, made her kiss Zionist flag

    Jump

  • There's also a considerable portion of the world who hates Greta and is probably cheering them on. The first news story I saw pop up about Greta being kidnapped said Israel was doing the world a favour...

  • How do people in cities have fun without spending money at every turn?

    Jump

  • I'm getting replies in my inbox but I can't view post comments lol, thankyou!

  • How do people in cities have fun without spending money at every turn?

    Jump

  • I'm not poor but most of my fun stuff is free, hanging out at parks (picnics with friends or just relaxing with a book or something), walking/cycling trails, free or pay as you feel shows and weekly food not bombs community dinners.

    Nothing wrong with a 1 bedroom apartment tbh, and I don't understand why not living in a house means you can't buy and own things lol. I've got loads of stuff I can do here if I don't want to go out, I've even got plenty of private outdoor space. If I didn't have so much stuff keeping me busy I could very easily stay in my apartment for weeks at a time, only really leaving to get groceries, I've never gone mad from it.

    Tbh I find this life is significantly cheaper given I don't have as much maintenance as a house, and I don't need to pay the absurdly high costs associated with a car.

    Edit: looks like jerboa broke for me so I've got no clue if this posted or what anyone else is saying lol
