@pri@cyberplace.social Have you considered ways to distribute books that don't take money out of the author's pockets? How about buying books and sending them to libraries? Working out agreements with services like Libby/OverDrive, (for the general public) or The Wikipedia Library (for academics/researchers)? I'm not saying you personally have the capacity to do these things, but like, you could connect with LGBT orgs who do.

@pri@cyberplace.social @tillybridges@mastodon.social "stealing from trans authors is okay, because other people are doing far worse" Surely you see the issue with that?

@grahamperrin@mastodon.bsd.cafe @BrideOfLinux@mastodon.opencloud.lu I suppose it's too early for me to speculate on whatever spec he's cooking up. I don't expect AI companies to do anything that'll enable me to block or otherwise restrict them though, because why would they do that?

@brennen@federation.p1k3.com @rose_alibi@post.lurk.org I used to work at a hosting provider and "ChatGPT told me to run [command that hoses the server]" was unfortunately quite common.

@BastilleBSD@fosstodon.org one of these lil pogoplugs! I replaced the OS with Debian, and used it as a smol web server. I eventually just made it a DNS resolver. (i have since lost it 😭) I was on a shoestring budget as a kid, so getting a computer for like $10 was super cool for me

"Thank you sir, or maam, or whoever you are" — some guy, a few years ago Honestly the funniest thing I've been called. It sounded so genuine too, he was legit unsure.

UPDATE: The GrapheneOS Community Manager reached out, and after discussion, I think this stemmed from a series of misunderstandings, rather than malice. More to follow shortly. ̶I̶ ̶h̶a̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶u̶n̶f̶o̶r̶t̶u̶n̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶e̶x̶p̶e̶r̶i̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶G̶r̶a̶p̶h̶e̶n̶e̶O̶S̶ ̶g̶u̶y̶,̶ ̶D̶a̶n̶i̶e̶l̶ ̶M̶i̶c̶a̶y̶,̶ ̶w̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶ ̶t̶r̶i̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶d̶e̶f̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶m̶e̶.̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶r̶o̶t̶e̶ ̶a̶b̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶i̶t̶.̶ https://jcoscia.com/post/2026/05/30/an-incident-involving-daniel-micay/ #grapheneos #trans

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au sort of! I went with mox, which is smtp/imap/webmail in one binary my only concerns are that the imap seems a little slow (maybe a maintenance issue on my end?) and there haven't been any commits in a few months https://www.xmox.nl/

@ana@starlite.rodeo its no coincidence that every time a techbro is struck by AI psychosis, they view the AI as a woman and have some sort of romance with it amazing that super intelligent AIs always take the form of women im attracted to, and not a genderless construct or literally anything else

@purrperl@noc.social Except when you're bothering someone in my community, in which case I reserve the right to tell you off. I see you're *still* going on about this, even reaching out to other trans women to get their opinion on the matter. Please just drop the stick.
