Nintendo uncensored the fact that Vivian is canonically trans in the Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door remaster. This was originally censored out of the western release of the original GameCube version but is back now on Switch

(thanks @lycanmatriarch )

I heard the good news about the upcoming Thousand Year Door remake, and decided to stop drawing my regularly scheduled trans girls to draw some different trans girls for a while. Congrats on finally getting to be yourself, Vivian! ^_^

Now back to drawing MY trans girls. XD

OK #Linux community, listen up.

MS have done it again and people are looking for a way out.

DON'T TREAT NEWBIES LIKE SHIT.

DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE FOR ASKING QUESTIONS.

DON'T ATTACK PEOPLE FOR HAVING PROBLEMS.

DON'T TELL PEOPLE TO "GOOGLE IT" WHEN THEY COULDN'T POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT TO SEARCH FOR, OR HOW TO INTERPRET THE RESULTS THEY'D FIND.

DON'T BE A DICK.

You know which one I drink :3

does anyone know what kind of dog this is

The fact that Microsoft's new Recall thing won't capture DRM content means the engineers do understand the risk of logging everything.
They just chose to preference the interests of corporates and money over people, deliberately.

Tek Jr just texted me those words every parent wants to hear:

"Dad, can you help me install Linux?"

I think I'm crying.

Here is the church..
Here is the steeple..
Open the doors..
EAT ALL THE PEOPLE

Making myself available as a resource for anyone leaving Windows for Linux due to Recall (as if the ads and other built-in spyware weren't enough...).

Adding my name to the hat.

I use #Linux Mint, a version based on the widely-used and -supported Ubuntu. It's pretty easy to use out of the box; I like it a lot.

If you try using it and have an issue, I'm willing to see if we can find a solution. No guarantees on solving every problem, but I won't make you feel silly for asking.

Here's the original Japanese for this Vivian line.

それに　じつは　アタイ・・・
体は　オトコのコだけど
ココロは　カワイイ　オンナのコなの

"The thing is... I...
I have a boy's body, but my heart is a cute girl's!"

(using feminine first person pronouns)

As I read this article about how behind the ball so many institutions are, I was thinking of the climate scientists who experienced this back in 2012. People like @MichaelEMann and others. It’s gotten worse, in part because online norms are influencing offline action, but it’s been growing over time.

Do not confuse welfare with Universal Basic Income. If you get $1k in welfare does it make sense to take a $1k job, lose your welfare and end up with the same $1k? No.

If you get $1k UBI, does it make sense to take a $1k job and end up with $2k? Yes.

This is why so many pilots show increases in work.
