Anyone else remember when Israel blew up the Evin Prison in August, killing over 100 transgender prisoners in the largest single-day slaughter of trans people in human history

I said CJEU judgments were succinct. But one of the ways they manage this is to be very information dense. To expand on that paragraph a little- where a person has a right covered by the Charter of Fundamental Rights or any other provision of EU law and access to those legal entitlements is being blocked by a failure to correctly record their gender (in line with the definition at paragraph 32 above as being defined by "lived gender identity, and not to the identity assigned to them at birth") then whatever national law that is causing that impediment is to just be set aside. It is a dead letter. Every_court, every. state body, every individual official has to behave as it it didn't exist. That's the consequence of incompatibility with EU law.

On discourse about trans peopleโ€™s right to access to accurate ID, Iโ€™d like to remind that the EUโ€™s top court, using data protectionโ€™s most fundamental principles, has declared that someoneโ€™s โ€œlived gender identityโ€ is what must be recorded to describe them.

Maybe it'll happen today?

C'mon, seize life by the lemons and make it happen whatever 'it' might be, maybe today's the day you decide to learn piano, go to the gym, draw that OC you're always thinking about, engineer that device you think'd be neat, or tell that someone in your life how you feel!

Isn't the de facto standard for C64 players to load at $1000? Like Init is at $1000, play at $1003 for most players? Some pause at $1006 or tune select at $1009? I seem to remember reading about some sort of quasi standard for this.

Yeah, Vodafone are also dickheads for this. I have had a three mobile broadband account for 20 years now, they aren't letting me upgrade it to 5G with a portable modem, which is *really* annoying because I use it when I am travelling within Ireland (except the North, doesn't work up there ๐Ÿ™„).

I'm begging the small local community groups in Ireland to please consider reframing their use of AI design work this way. The amount of drama and theatre groups in my sphere that I see using AI posters now just makes me sad.

I keep wishing for the return of Geocities, a place where you could put a button that just buttoned or obnoxious bright flashing words or where it was acceptable to put black text on a dark grey background and think 'yeah, that'll do'. Gosh I loved Geocities. What a mess of a place it was.

Can't take any marketer seriously that has an AI image of them surrounded by flying buzzwords and wearing a hoodie that says "gamer" as their profile photo.

NV Save / Load NVSaveLoad is a plugin for saving and loading the state of the game.It is designed to โ€œjust workโ€, being very easy to integrate with almost no setup. Unlike other save/load systems, you don't need to ...

Working on an #UnrealEngine project and looking to easily add save and load, without having to set everything up yourself?
My Save/Load plugin is currently on sale on Fab for 30% off (~$26).

People sometimes ask why I left Twitter for Bluesky but earlier I posted here about being HIV+ for thirty years and none of the replies have told me I deserved it, I should have died, and angrily denounced how much it cost to develop the medication that kept me alive

Hey Godot folks.. anyone using a spreadsheet plugin to do asset population work? Looking for a way to work on a few hundred resources at onceโ€ฆ balancing numbers, searching by tags etc etc.

Really a question for folks working on bigger scale stuff I suppose, but interested if solutions exist.

"You really should have more sex before you consider further medical transition" ๐Ÿ™„

I think that was the worst I got from the NGS. That was probably 2010. A ridiculous and irrelevant question.

Elementary, Dear Data - Wikipedia

I re-watched this episode of Star Trek recently. It is 38 years old. It's literally a warning against "vibe coding" and "prompt engineering" and not having boundaries on your AI.
