  @LilahTovMoon@tech.lgbt Ooh this is interesting - I have experience with the European sector where it's essentially very similar but the "regional" organisations - some of which operate over multiple nations - operate the trading market between energy producers and supply companies.

  One advantage of moving my teach-myself-Rust project to Codeberg: If it's on Codeberg, it's self-evidently non-AI, and the code being bad is purely my own fault!

  Every time a trans femme posts about facial feminising surgery, my brain reads "FFS" the other way "wow, everyone who gets that surgery gets really pissed off by it!"
