  • Brazil to join South Africa’s ICJ ‘genocide’ case against Israel

  • Does this have anything to do with the most recent overstep by the US toward Brazil? Trump just imposed new tariffs & he explicitly said it was because they were prosecuting Bolsonaro

  • Wow. Is any production of any part of the US military not facing delays?

  • Linux Breaks 5% Desktop Share in U.S., Signaling Open-Source Surge Against Windows and macOS

    Jump

  • I'm sure that this is because of a confluence of events, but I would presume as well that it has a lot to do with declining material conditions within the US as well. The way of buying a new computer/laptop/phone every couple years is becoming increasingly unfeasible, & Linux doesn't enforce planned obsolescence & doesn't force new features onto users. Especially over the past 15 years, it's been a stalwart of stability compared with Mac/Windows & their deteriorating reputations.

    Operating systems are, at the end of the day, public infrastructure & should absolutely be treated as such. I feel that open source is one way to implement that, & Linux, along with its wealth of distros, is doing a good job of it.

  • Public transit is severely lacking, especially with the rural sprawl that America has

  • Nvidia Says U.S. Has Lifted Restrictions on A.I. Chip Sales to China

    Jump

  • Too little too late imo. This feels like more of a desperate ploy on behalf of Nvidia, as the US assumed their restrictions would set China back years. Maybe they did, but in the long run it was detrimental to Nvidia & other American companies.

  • I went to the sea last week, got an air conditioner finally, & commissioned a crop top shirt from my friend that says "DYKE". I'm also gonna make a crop top out of an internet explorer shirt I got from a tech conference years ago that says "I have standards" lmao

  • Woah. Big if true

  • Chinese artificial-intelligence companies are loosening the U.S.’s global stranglehold on AI, challenging American superiority and setting the stage for a global arms race in the technology.

  • I want to leave tech: what do I do?

    Jump

  • Personally, I made a career change which is still in its infancy - but I'm excited about the prospects. I miss my tech salary, but was chronically underpaid in tech at the same time. I'm basically at the bottom, doing what is slightly above an entry level job (I started a bit over a year ago) but I feel so much better about my work.

    I still take the time to teach my friends & community as many things as I can tech-wise & give them technical support when they need it, & have thought about teaching a community class based on tech literacy & more advanced concepts if there is an appetite for it. I was thinking about creating a sliding scale (down to free) for the class & using most of it for getting laptops for people who need it. I was also thinking about sending out a call for old computers/laptops & breathing in new life to them by installing Linux & making them run decently well again.

    These are mostly just brainstorms, things I haven't gone fully in on yet - but I feel like the exodus from tech can be a really strong force organizing the people against the state, and I feel these days that tech literacy/tech support from people who have the knowledge is a huge part of that.

  • GC debates are thinly veiled transphobia lol, just like the saying "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds".

    One more thing:

    I believe you can doubt someone’s gender is ontologically important, without disrespecting their personhood

    As a trans person, I am speaking from experience when I say no you can't.

  • On the other hand, there is growing interest in trans women menstruating. The cycle of hormones for women is a monthly cycle where certain hormones spike & others fall, the "period" itself being a spike in a certain hormone that induces sleepiness & more acute emotion. This, in my non-scientific experience is true - as I personally have a rule:

    "If I hate everyone around me, I'm hungry. If I hate myself, it's time to shower. And if neither works, I'm on my period."

    Mainly because trans women might not bleed, persay, but they do go through hormonal cycles & it's hard to tell without the telltale sign, as well as the lack of awareness around it. This can result in a monthly window where they experience menstrual symptoms. This includes cramping and physical symptoms as well.

    There are a few studies about menstruation in transmasc individuals, but only about 2 or 3 on transfemmes menstruating. But those studies affirm the experiences that I've been having, along with talking with other transfemmes in my community.
