sorta funny how many cis people seem to think being an ally just means like. not actively commiting hate crimes. "i'm an ally i'm just worried that hrt is dangerous and i dont like when they shove pride right in our faces and i think all this sjw stuff in movies is unrealistic and im worried about the children-" okay. so i dont think you know what that word means,

Am I TMA if I'm closeted with zero attempt or indication irl at transfemininity

anon, as gently and with as much love as i can possibly pack into these little words - if that were true what would be keeping you in the closet? is there some set of punitive and coercive social forces that you, by being – and acknowledging yourself as – closeted, are in a very real sense already navigating? if so, what would we call that except transmisogyny? and what would we call you consciously living your entire life differently to avoid that, except being affected by it?

you are trans enough, you are TMA, you are transfem or a trans woman if you want to be, and for as long as the closet is the safest place for you to be i hope you have good people to guard the door, and the moment it is safe for you to come out i hope it is easy and good and everything you could want it to be. i love you, and there is so much more love waiting for you than you know.

i recently turned off DMs but if you wanna talk more about this, send me an ask off anon and i promise i won't publish it, but that way i can DM you. no pressure.

i despise how the haha im illegal in 64 countries is always focused on 'oh noooo the white gays cant travel here' rather than 'queer people in these countries are in danger'

i am always urging people to think about what "safe for work" really means and why we've come to equate "won't be found objectionable by your employer, who has the power to ruin your life" with "good and harmless and 'wholesome'"

fun fact: "large language models are not conscious intelligences they're just predictive typing algorithms, they don't have minds, and they cannot be the victims of racism because they cannot be the victims of anything because they're literally just fancy text generators please for the love of god stop personifying them you're playing right into the hands of these big tech companies that want to act like they're the new Promethei so they can sell that vision to their shareholders" and "wow you were really quick to jump on the idea that you could make up slurs for robots, and the speed and degree of glee with which you did so makes me feel like the judgement of your peers was literally the only thing holding you back from dropping actual slurs all the time, that all you needed was an acceptable target, and that is honestly pretty worrying to me." can both be true at the same time. these are not antithetical concepts.

Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out.

gamers who spam through tutorial instructions or skip cutscenes and then complain that the gameplay is frustratingly unintuitive or that the story sucks are equivalent to those online cooking weirdos where they substitute carrots for chocolate and then complain to the author of the article that the recipe is a failure. bestie perhaps look inwards
