Form out of band relationships with coworkers you trust to get a base going then send an email to everyone from your department from an anonymous email address to solicit feedback and organize a vote.

Unions are legal in all occupations. There may be restrictions on some form of collective action (i.e. the government can force strikers back to work) but organizing is never illegal.

Yea, this is more shit like noticing you slowed down on an open road and adjusting up your insurance rate by 12 cents annually. It has a carve out for NHTSA which could still use the data to hand out speeding tickets automatically if they so chose.

It also prevents you from being blasted with an ad telling you to take the next left for half off cheeseburgers after leaving your office at 11:45. I don’t drive so it doesn’t effect me but targeted advertising can get fucked in all its forms.

NIH (Not Invented Here) is absolutely the downfall of many tech companies. Code costs constant money to maintain - it may sound illogical since it’s unchanged from the day it was written but it absolutely is the case.

As someone who writes high throughput PHP code I can confirm that it’s much more about technique than language capabilities (though in an embedded setting things with dynamic GCs are simply unusable unless static memory management can be enabled with a compiler switch).

For most projects you’d be much more rewarded for focusing on tools/framework/libraries available for the different languages (since that’s where most initial effort will go) and then build up any missing functionality as needed ontop of that base.

Most languages can do pretty much anything these days. The technical advantages are much smaller than the impact the right approach will have… it’s one reason that I hold “maintainability” as the most important attribute of a project.

Butt stuff, we’re talking about butt stuff!

My terminology was a bit lacking - but that’s interesting, TIL!

So, for transwomen the nerves you’re dealing with for stimulation during anal probably are really close to ciswomen.

Oh, interesting - but a plug would probably fix that right? AFABs lack the prostate entirely, so that bundle of nerves doesn’t really help with sensations.

Eh, if you’ve got a prostate (aka you were AMAB) that’s probably doing most of the work so ribs likely wouldn’t matter. If you’ve seen toys designed for anal they often involve much more dramatic texturing (i.e. anal beads) since that will trigger a sensation that ribbing likely won’t.

And, if you think about it logically, if you’re constipated you kind of don’t want to feel every minor fissure or bump on what’s coming out.

So as an AMAB I haven’t observed a difference and I kind of doubt AFABs would either.

Having an editor with spell checking makes me deeply sad whenever I’m viewing code.

GitExtensions

I use an excellent GUI that opens a terminal to run the commands you execute in it so that you can review the precise command in case you need to modify it.

Awesome, it’s fucking overdue!

Some More News is excellent!

Coffezilla does awesome journalism.

ExtraHistory has also really stepped up it’s game.

Sashimi: do I not even exist, bro?

Making ceviche or sushi officially not cooking confirmed - how dare those posers call themselves sushi chefs.

Eh… why are we trying to gatekeep cooking?

Power buttons are often covered by cases and, since they’re usually a weak spot for water proofing, it’s more effective to have a case that fully covers the button. In-screen readers (like what I have on my Samsung A71) tend to be good enough most of the time.

Don’t! It’s fucking worthless.

The shaking might be an essential tremor (I have one and it’s hereditary in my family). It’s usually a benign condition but you should talk to your doctor in case it’s something more serious as it can be related to brain tumors or other shit you really need to jump on.

There’s no relation to masturbation but, hey, if you want a sex toy then buy one.
