I was really pleased when places here in Canada started doing this. A close family member is trans, and I really felt their pain when going to a public toilet where we had to stand in a line for men or for women. That stuff can make every bathroom visit fraught, especially with the expectation that men will stand next to each other to pee. I even hate that as a cis man. Far better for everyone to form one line with no questions asked and have a private stall.

This is what shows all their stated justifications are BS. They simply fear and hate trans people and will do whatever it takes to make their lives more difficult. Weird bathroom rules are just a good opportunity to make trans people suffer. All the nonsense about fairness and privacy is just after-the-fact justification.

It then mentions that the underlying issue was independently reported to Google by another researcher in early 2023. So they have had more than two years.

Oh they still would.

The NYT doing what it has always done: establishment propaganda disguised as just a more thoughtful and nuanced take that reveals where everyone else is getting it wrong. These things always have a loathsome tone of quiet superiority, and they always deny the facts.

Israel's not committing genocide, according to this NYT piece, because many Palestinians are still alive. And even after Israel killed every last person in Gaza the NYT would still call it a "bungled humanitarian scheme" from these good, honest guys in Israel who just keep making silly mistakes.

hunter2, but don't tell anyone because it's a secret.

So Google has known about it since early 2023 and still not fixed the issue?

Apparently disabling animations in the accessibility settings can protect you from this.

The right wing may object to the porn, but to everyone else the problem is his hypocrisy.

In the third and final dashcam video, recorded at 8.42am, an Ice officer breaks through the driver’s side window of the car. Khanbabazadeh can be heard saying, “I am getting out,” to which a masked Ice agent replies: “Well, you should have done it already.”

In the final video, taken by a bystander, Ice agents handcuff Khanbabazadeh while he is pressed up against his car. Khanbabazadeh can be heard saying, “I’m Iranian, I don’t know why they are doing this. I am a doctor,” while the bystander says, “No one here will identify themselves.”

Masked terrorist kidnappers loyal to Donald Trump. They don't even dare show their faces. The lowest of lowlife, cowardliest of cowards.

In the case of the USA, UK, etc. they're not turning a blind eye: they're facilitating and supporting it.

That's a MAGA supporter who was abused as a 3 year old, arguing that Trump is OK because it's human nature "even when children are used."

MAGA is all kinds of fucked up.

He is good at saying the right things. Liberals in general aren't terrible at saying what people want to hear. When it comes to doing what they said, that's another story.

All Ploopy's stuff looks rough. I think they're 3D-printing them. Maybe one day they'll progress to something that gives a nicer result.

I was looking at their trackballs but the ambidextrous ones look awkwardly tiny and have rattly bearings, in addition to the rough finish. I support what they're doing but I wish the products were a bit less prototypey.

Now why would people be criticizing Israel? It is a conundrum and a mystery.

Can we get a law to ban opportunist right-wing dickbags with no skills or ideas?

Before anyone objects: not really, I'm just very sick of this man.

I know many cultured Americans, but they're being sidelined by the fascists and one day they'll be physically attacked by the fascists, unless the fascists are kicked out soon.

Anti-genocide, pro-culture bias. Both unacceptable to MAGA.

Pete Hoekstra was the one who told a bunch of lies about "no go zones" in the Netherlands, then called it "fake news" when he was called out on his lies, then minutes later called it fake news that he ever called the first thing fake news. Just like Trump, he lies even when everyone can see plainly that he's lying.

I remember learning about operator precedence in SQL the hard way at 4pm on a Friday. I wasn't popular that day, and I never made that mistake again.
