Losing the fight on base 2 byte measurements is probably one of the worst things to happen in the realm of standards of measurement in my lifetime. I really don't like the whole binary prefix thing. Calling something a kibibyte when a kilobyte has been 1024 bytes for decades just bothers me.

Base 10 is cool for a lot of things, I like base 10 a lot. It's convenient for the meatworld where things are touchable and the numbers are arbitrary. Binary computing had a reason to not be measured in base 10, though.

The reason everyone is talking about Deadlock should be obvious. It's locktober.

Solidarity with children requires listening to them—really listening. Pushing them out of spaces or refusing to speak to them outside of settings you dictate as acceptable places for them to exist is not solidarity. You must abandon the comfort of adultist control.

Ok hear me out: what if we get rid of the character limit, and add a setting to the client that lets you filter out posts beyond a certain character length, so if you only want to see <300 character posts, you can, but everyone can still post really long if they want.

In spite of what video games, movies, and apocalypse fiction novels would have you believe, "antirads" aren't really a real medication. No drug can protect you from ionizing radiation, and the best we can do is treat symptoms after exposure, and prevent incorporation of radioactive material.

Potassium iodide, a common drug referred to as an antirad, merely floods the thyroid gland with nonradioactive iodine, preventing any radioactive analogues from accumulating in the organ and causing continued damage. It only protects one organ, and only from a certain kind of radiation hazard.

I've seen people argue that those who care about and push for youth liberation "don't care about the elderly", a claim that attempts to undermine the idea that we intend to combat ageism by suggesting we only care about the young, implying ulterior motives for our interest in youths' rights.

In regards to specific issues that impact the elderly, I find it more effective to begin from an approach of disability rights and ableism, as many age-related diseases are disabling, and the mistreatment old people suffer stems from these biases, prejudices, and persecutions.

The elderly have a quiet simmer of support and advocacy that has stemmed across the decades, where youth have remained unspoken for throughout much of history. I can understand why people consider the elderly less of a pressing matter than the wellbeing of the young.

There exists a certain amount of normalized and mainstream effort to care for and advocate for the elderly, and they are legally full people, particularities around ableism and the rights of the disabled nonwithstsanding. Gerontology and geroscience are active fields.

It's certainly not the first time I've seen people attempt to slander the whole movement as being a cover scheme for some sort of pedophilic child abuse cult, and it likely won't be the last. Regardless, I'd like to bring up a few points as to why you might see less discussion about elder ageism.

The great thing about vocalsynth characters is that basically everything you make them say/sing is canon in the minds of listeners so Teto is pretty much all but officially a depressed trans girl with bipolar disorder.
