Mrs Mouse :queer: @MrsMouse@social.dsmouse.net

so i officially just told my gma i am going to move forward with the process to change my gender marker and name and im gonna start all of that shit next week. at this point she is saying she wont stop talking to me or disown me over that and im satisfied with that. if my dad wants to cut me out im pretty much at the outer limits of giving a shit.

it's still a shock to my system that it was him and not her doing this but i guess you never really know people until the push becomes a shove

Yes, hi, I looked like a hot vampire for church today (and taught a bunch of 8 y/os about pronouns while I was at it) so it's been a Good Day

It's been awhile since we had a lot of fun with a movie we *didn't* like.

Featuring:

• The world's first(?) musical historical dramedy disaster film

• Clark Gable as a one man game of FMK

• Jeanette MacDonald vs. Clark Gable in Battle of the Bedroom Eyes

• Terrible saloon musical numbers, but surprisingly good opera numbers

• The longest earthquake sequence ever on film

Listen now (and DON'T watch the movie!):

the "analogue hole" refers to the idea that no matter how hard you try to make sure nobody can make illegal copies of videos, music, or text, there's always a "hole" in the protection that occurs when it's no longer digital. digital content can be protected - video files can be encrypted, music players can limit you to five devices - but analogue signals can't be. for example, itunes can disallow you from putting a song on more than five computers, but if you play the song through your speakers and record it, what you do with it is beyond apple's control.

one of the few remaining analogue outputs on a modern device is the audio jack. this is where you connect your headphones or speakers. your laptop only knows that something's plugged in. it doesn't know what's connected. you could be playing it through earphones or a massive speaker system and it wouldn't be able to tell. meanwhile, HDMI is a digital output format. it can tell if it's been plugged into a TV or a recording device, and can automatically disable output if you're recording it to make it harder for you to make copies of movies.

if the audio jack is replaced by USB-C or bluetooth, it becomes possible to tell what you're connecting to the laptop or phone. your phone might disable audio playback on anything but headphones to prevent you from hosting a public event with the music. it could also detect a recording device that you're using to (for example) make a copy of a song you're listening to on spotify and turn off the playback.

of course, at some point, digital needs to become analogue. humans can't watch electrical pulses, we need to see patterns of light. we can't listen to streams of 1s and 0s, we need vibrations in the air. this means that it's impossible to truly defeat the analogue hole - no matter what you do, someone can always just point a camera at their TV. it'll have worse quality, but it can never be stopped.

the analogue hole is one of many ways to circumvent DRM, or digital rights management. you can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_hole

The trans pride flag has dispelled the now old-fashioned stereotype that trans people are stylish, aesthetically astute vanguards of fashion.
