1. assume every camera has film unless you personally verify otherwise
2. never point a camera at something you're not willing to photograph
3. never put your finger on the shutter button until you're ready to take a photograph

Not quite back online yet, but hello, and please accept an old bouncy post for this #TransDayOfVisiblity x
484) Hopebot. Finds you in the darkness and tells you that at the end of every tunnel is a light, no matter how bleak the future looks it is still unwritten, you are alive and a human being with mind, the universe's last defence against entropy. Rise. Continue. Be. #SmallRobotsRemastered
The idea that Office 365 is compliant for use in any regulated space is *absolutely laughable*, but apparently the reason GCC High is approved for government use is because the government let agencies use it while they were evaluating it, and then realized so many agencies were now dependent on it, that they had to approve it even though it wasn't able to actually meet the security criteria.
just noticed it's How DNS Works' 4th birthday soon! https://wizardzines.com/zines/dns/
it's still one of my favourite zines, and it comes with a free ★★ playground ★★ at https://messwithdns.net where you can create DNS records and see what happens!

There's about 1 or 2% of us in the population, so you probably know at least a couple others.
I tend to be more visible than other trans folks, in part because I can be. There's a lot of us who aren't as obvious or as loud about it.
A lot of us tend to be shockingly competent and capable, tho at least some of that is survivorship bias.
Most of us want to be able to live our lives in peace, tho there's some really loud assholes who have unreasonable objections to this.
Ultimately we're people, just like you - with our own hopes and fears and joys and challenges.
And if you ask me - I think we're pretty fucking awesome. Why don't you get to know us and find out why?
@neotoy I can't wait for the followup question "How many of them are actually in use right now?" - currently just 3 somehow
no AI, nothing stressful particularly, just a person who is obviously really good at her job calmly but excitedly explaining stuff (pun intended)
Remember my old bot that posted every rejected parliament petition?
I've resurrected it. Let the chaos begin: @rejectpetitions
@aldroid also open admission that I was at the same time looking at the Unihertz Tank series... I like them with bigger batteries...
@aldroid if you get to hold one of the Jelly series in your hand, they are quite pudgey front-to-back, so not really shirt-pocketable in the same way as the Bluefox.
