I just want to add that it's not just the idea of gender being immutable, it's identity as a whole. So much of society is built around stuff like legal names. They use them to track and control people. And then trans people are out there deciding to change them just because we want to, or using prefered names that don't match our legal names. The idea that people can just decide who they want to be is threatening to them.
I haven't seen anything quite like that yet, but for federated music there's bandwagon.fm which is more of a bandcamp equivalent. There's a lot of fediverse projects, so it wouldn't suprise me if there's something out there.
This community is about debunking misinformation. Even for people who lie all the time it's important to keep track of what lies they tell and what the truth actually is.
Plenty of people still know or use the other meanings, and it's still based on common stereotypes. Reclaiming slurs only really works when it's done by the targeted group, and when the word is being used with positive connotations.
A lot of people like to think that everything will work out okay. It's easier to think everything will be fine than to focus on the terrible things that are happening.
Then on the other side you have people that know things are bad, but give up because they don't know how to fix things.
I think eventually we'll make it through this, but you can't just be passively hopeful.
Things are bad and will get worse. But tons of people are actively working together to prevent as much damage as possible, supporting each other, and working towards a better world. As things get worse, more people will try to find ways to help each other.
We need spiteful hope and stubborn optimism. There are always ways to make things better, no matter how bad they get.
This is anonymous blog that's been out for a couple weeks, and still hasn't been verified by anyone else. It's possible it's real, but I would be very skeptical. The only 'proof' they give is links to ai documentation using trump as an example.
There's hundreds of other contributers, but he started them all and did the bulk of the work. The plan is to have more regular developers if they get enough donations.
Vidzy and the loops server code are available under AGPL. The loops app isn't open source yet, but has to be eventually as part of the NLnet grant agreement.
I feel like less common or more specific hashtags tend to work better. If you try to follow common words like art or music or dogs, it can overwhelm your feed and a lot of it is mediocre. If you browse those tags, you might see more specific tags used along side them focusing on what you actually want.
Have they been using AI art? All of their art that I've noticed has been from David Revoy.
And it's a fairly small open source project that only started working on the phone app last year. It's not that surprising they haven't gotten apps for every platform yet.
