Live demo of Mozilla's client-side text translation technology:
https://mozilla.github.io/translate/
Runs in most browsers (but sadly not Safari), no add-on required, no sending your text to the server!

iOS friends: What apps do you use instead of the apps that Apple ships for free as part of the OS?
@obra Firefox (duh 😂), Overcast for podcasts, Spotify, and Google Maps…

Trying to use this account's broader reach for good:
"Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland", a new platformer inspired both by Winsor McCay's original strips and by the 1990 Capcom NES game, has 59 hours left on its Kickstarter with $8k left until its goal. Please check it out: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/diesoft/little-nemo

RT @CasualLaw
My regular friends "do you think they will really go after gay marriage"
My lawyer friends "Do you think women owning property in their own name is clearly established? It was not at the time of the signing of the 14th, would a trust survive?"

US politics
What these things tell me is Whoever's Left does not regain bodily autonomy rights by doing any less than what the right did. A response has to begin with the premise the Supreme Court, and possibly the USA itself, is illegitimate. You ONLY regain rights now if a court stands up and says no precedent under Roberts is binding, so the dogma that judges impartially interpret the law has to go. It's been disproven. You need personal attacks on existing judges, litmus tests on new ones.
@emma So, yesterday I was going to make a joke about you always being free to crash on my couch if you made it through the checkpoint and into Toronto, but somehow it seems way less funny now. 😢 (The invitation is still open, though!)

free crypto project names:
> hindenberg finance
> titanic DAO
> macbeth fi
> pompeii capital
> icarus chain

> babel finance
> beanstalk farms
> onering finance
maybe if these people just stopped naming their crypto projects after things that were notably destroyed
@mhoye Did you ask them if they were “Flossing”? 😂

In case you didn't know, I maintain a list of space opera novels by cisgender women, non-binary, and trans authors!
There are hundreds of books to read, and the list is not complete (use the form to suggest missing works)!
Share the resource :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iquc1jI4wIQbm9W9K4g6I_NqkA2cVx9MMx7CrED8BfY/edit#gid=2144433176
