@mynameistillian @syhr According to the ICAO standard, the sex field is mandatory but countries can just put X (or < in the MRZ, which is also the filler character) for unspecified:

Where an issuing State or organization does not want to identify the sex, the filler character (<) shall be used in this field in the MRZ and an X in this field in the VIZ.

So there’s nothing preventing them from effectively abolishing gender markers on passports by just putting X for everyone (which they should do)

There is a petition on the UK Parliament website to legally recognise nonbinary as a gender – which would include an X marker on UK passports for nonbinary people.

The deadline to sign is March 2026 and at the time of writing only 213 people have signed.

Let's show them the power of Mastodon. At 100,000 signatures, the petition will be debated in Parliament.

hello

@tris

As an example, 37 entire pages are devoted solely to issues involving Mobile County, Alabama.

why is the alabama constitution like this?

@jerry BGP over iodine

@X00001 I always do this, if someone enters the room I hide my screen and wait for them to leave. I can't use a computer while I'm being watched (or think I am).

@soph no

@gayfamicom @pastthepixels does anyone seriously use grokipedia?

@maddy I think it's a MFM parsing bug in Akkoma, I can reproduce it in MFM but not in ordinary Markdown. It seems to be misinterpreting the underscores as italics.

@maddy Akkoma is displaying your as this for some reason

@alyx @famfo the only problem is it needs to not rely on DNS working

@Baa 8192 on every system I tested on (16GB + no swap on Guix System, 6GB + 6GB swap on Guix System, 32GB + no swap on Gentoo, 8GB + 4GB swap on Alpine), except the Debian ones (1016664 with 8GB RAM + 4GB swap, 489548 with 4GB RAM + no swap)

@algernon congratulations, you won

@lda @domi @q3k do you still understand how this works?

@maddy @CauseOfBSOD Can the Intel ME read from SGX memory? Because arbitrary unsigned code execution on the ME is possible on MEv11 (Skylake through to Kaby Lake Refresh)

@domi @elly @jn why not put it into ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf?

@gayfamicom I see, I hadn't heard of that and wasn't sure if you meant something on the discord or mastodon side (and it being on the discord side explains why I haven't heard of it). did it used to not be hidden?

@libreleah also your post's language is set to de for some reason even though it's in english and that makes akkoma default to de for replies too

@libreleah I have a route through my VPN interface specifically for that instance, although I can't see images because bunny.net blocks by geodns and I haven't set up a recursive DNS server outside the UK yet

@gayfamicom discord mastodon connection?
