I’ll use it for now while it’s good and ditch it if/when it enshittifies just as I ditched Reddit and Twitter. The mistake I won’t repeat is relying on it. If I have to bail, it won’t be difficult this time.

We need to communicate our sexual identity clearly at a high level because we all need to work out with each other who can date or fuck who.

We don’t have as much practical reason to know each other’s specific experience with autism right away. And if you are close to someone and need to understand their autism at a lower level, their personal situation is more complicated than being one of five or six types.

And if you do need to understand someone’s sexuality at a low level, it could also be more complicated and individualized than just being one letter. But knowing that one letter with sexuality helps as a start.

My computer is a plex server, a homeassistant server, it runs cron jobs, there’s a web server with some automation and browsing utilities I use throughout the day. It’s on 24/7, doesn’t sleep.

So the woman won’t scream if a fake trans rapist starts raping them? The justice system won’t prosecute an accused fake trans rapist because there’s a newer social contract?

Oh I see, it’s like bankruptcy.

Is there a magical barrier that keeps men who don’t say they’re trans from entering women’s bathrooms?

Probably right, but at least my watch history is all attached to a throwaway email address I use for it.

It’s largely the same because we started out with mostly enthusiasts doing it in semi hidden places. Then it was mainstreamed and became too easy for casuals to do out in the open. So laws and enforcement caught up and now it’s most effective again if you know your way around, which most casuals won’t if they can afford a few streaming services.

One big change is no longer having to burn any media, you download something then it’s on plex and you can watch it instantly.

If I could bring anything back from the 90s it would be a big selection of games, movies, tv, music, and books that I actually care enough to consume. There’s hardly anything worth downloading anymore.
