A Palestinian author was dropped from an event. It's not "culturally sensitive" "so soon after Bondi".
Her book isn't even about the genocide but what does a Palestinian's existence have to do with antisemitism. #auspol

I keep thinking about how a young woman DoorDash driver was charged and hauled into court for recording and posting evidence of her customer sexually harassing her, while nothing is happening to the droves of men using Grok to sexually harass women and children. The institutions are pro-perpetrator.

20 years ago, I got myself a #NintendoDS, and a few month later, I received a "kit" to run my own #homebrew software on it so I started #ndsdev.
I started with a simple no-save, static-palette sprite editor but 6 months later, I was able to save and beam data in and out over WiFi.

People asking me to replace a half assed mod with mine will always make me giggle. This is why it takes me so long to make stuff cause I test it to death. And ironically mine is much cheaper

Okay last spam message, I have been looking into making my own thinkpad nipple with aftermarket parts. I was going to use a N3DS C stick but they aren't as easy to find as I thought they would be
