🍑 I still can't get over our operating systems course at uni where the prof was like "so we disable interrupts while we're handling the interrupt" and I was likewait, what happens if you get two interrupts in rapid succession?and he was just "well hopefully if we're fast enough handling it that won't happen" andat that point I realised how a lot of OS dev is literally "gosh I hope this works"

🍇 it should be illegal to solicit donations to charity without stating what percentage of the donation actually goes toward helping the cause that's being donated for.saying "don't you want to donate a dollar to give food to the hungry" sounds like you're a horrible person if you don't, but "donate a dollar to me so I can give a nickel's worth of food to the hungry" sounds like you're a total con artist.obviously it's hard to always quantity this but... yeah.

New York just passed GENDA which means that trans discrimination is outlawed state-wide!now, I remind you that this would have passed sooner if our cis gay "allies" didn't throw us under the bus a few years ago to get SONDA passed. but, you know.I'm glad that this is a step in the right direction, even though laws like this can't always be enforced
