@charliejane Arguably we should leave "the internet" about yesterday.
And not just trans people, everyone who wants to retain their sanity should walk away from public platforms and get into friend-to-friend networks.
Yes, this requires some skills. Yes, we should not only agitate, but also helping, training, and, in general, caring about our "neighborhoods".
The corporates and govs then can go suck their empty husk of "online".

@Keltounet @hywan I watched my mother progressively (and completely) lose the ability to use her iMac during her final decade because Apple kept f*cking around with the Mac OS X user interface, the way Mail worked, the colour of the window maximize/minimize buttons, and stuff that probably looked trivial to a 30-something UI designer but was deeply disruptive to an 80 something with impaired memory. And by losing that access, she lost touch with friends (via email).
@simonmic I like how the site is even providing a manual on how to cook the books

@BartoszMilewski @aleks we should celebrate it instead! Aren't we're survivors, after all?

@reidrac@social.sdf.org being up to date isn't a thing I've seen often. Most of my "family IT" is running old distros, even *if* they don't ignore their updates.
We can go and check vulnerability databases for an 5 y.o. browsers that people do run now and will continue to run for 5 years more.
@reidrac@social.sdf.org more containment layers over particularly common attack vectors? 🤷♀️
`ssh -D` is a real life-saver though.
@reidrac@social.sdf.org what about snaps pissed you off?
I had a fight with a totally flatpacked distro and it was awful beyond any horrors I had with snaps. Basically impossible to do anything in a terminal.
@cwebber@octodon.social would you be shocked if we had opinions on electricity?
@selfsame @everytoilet is biohacking gone too far?..
@doragasu @reidrac@social.sdf.org those security updates are free for personal use, but yeah.
@dpiponi Chromecast is a mess too. I wonder what's so difficult in there, so major corporations with literal billions invested in their stuff can't handle it.
@Danc A horrifying thought of HP BrainJet washing fluid appears...
@cwebber@octodon.social y is down/up 
@reidrac@social.sdf.org You can be surprised! People have fun watching very *different* things. Watching bread getting baked certainly has something to it.
