    Trans rights are human rights. They are not something you can take away because people “stop adhering to the social contract”, the same way we can’t take access to food and healthcare away from prisoners just because they did a crime (yes, in real-life they often get taken away, but you get the point).

    Insisting on deadnaming someone also harms the whole transgender community, by pushing the point that those rights are conditional.







  • I fail to see what makes games any different from other software. The piece of software can be easily studied and tinkered with, users have the power to control what exactly runs on their machine, and the software can organically be improved by people making their changes in their own derivations of that software that they make available for the whole world to use, study, reproduce, and modify.

    Furthermore, if the developer dies, the game being FOSS will guarantee that it will live on and continue to benefit future generations.













  • I’ve been wondering why not window.chrome == true or Boolean(window.chrome), but it turns out that the former doesn’t work and that == has essentially no use unless you remember some completely arbitrary rules, and that JS developers would complain that the latter is too long given the fact that I’ve seen javascript code using !0 for true and !1 for false, instead of just true and false because they can save 2 to 3 characters that way.
