Depends on the use case, really

@hacks4pancakes I think it's not that the days doesn't exist, but that the entities that have the tower data set are a) at least somewhat regulated, and b) interested in using a ~monopoly position to charge rent. It's worth it to Niantic to have their own free and unregulated copy, to rent for whatever purposes the industry is currently burning money.

So a bunch of anti-trans hate groups sent a citizen's petition to the FDA demanding regulatory action around "cross-sex" use of estrogen. Although the language is somewhere heated and while we have no indications as to the FDA's intent with respect to this petition, I have no reason not to believe the authors of this article when they describe its potential impact if adopted: https://theneedlenews.com/anti-trans-hate-groups-petitioning-fda-for-registry-of-trans-women-crackdown-on-transition-newly-revealed-document-shows/

The short version: the creation of a registry of all trans women in the US, a federal regulatory requirement for a significant set of gatekeeping steps before estrogen can be prescribed, and authorization to seize any estrogen used without that process having been followed.

The original document can be read here: https://www.regulations.gov/document/FDA-2025-P-7321-0001

They apparently did not see the need to go after trans men here.

@mhoye Or you could do the work properly so it doesn't take that time.

And besides, your employer shouldn't be able to take time without compensating you for it. But when you do shit work, someone else pays for it with their time — and no, it's not your boss.

Needs more of a cope bun

I mean, it's bad enough that many programming languages are not themselves unambiguous. *stares grumpily at C*

Probably mostly not my audience here, but I'm currently looking for a business-side/CEO cofounder for an encrypted radio startup. There are solid funding options, but while I can build the team to make the product happen, I'm not the person to navigate the money side of things. I'm looking for a cofounder with previous startup CEO experience and executive-level experience (although not necessarily CEO) in a hardware startup specifically. EU citizen and resident, although it'll be a remote team, so where is less important.
