itgrrl :donor:hi folks 👋 I’m looking for <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/recs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recs</a> for a very-simple-to-operate portable media player (mainly for video, but music would be a bonus) that will play files from internal storage or (micro-)SD card for my dad when he periodically ends up in hospital. The hospital has decided, in its infinite wisdom, to cancel the TV rental service because “everyone has a tablet these days, even the older folks”, which… don’t even get me started 😤😡🤬 I’ll be managing the finding, downloading, & transferring media to the device, & will ship it directly to the hospital when he’s admitted. I’ll send him a box & return postage when he’s discharged so he can ship it back to me for next time.It needs to have good quality video & audio playback without stutters, etc., (an) internal speaker(s), & a 3.5mm socket for headphones. It doesn’t need to be HD, although that would be nice. Ideally with a screen that can be used in landscape orientation, in the 5”-7” (ish) range (13-18cm) rather than something that looks like a phone & has a . Internal rechargeable battery preferred but not mandatory.A good UI that doesn’t require the user to have a mental map of out navigate a directory structure would be a huge plus (I’m thinking something like a Plex-ish interface but with local storage, but open to any suggestions).Ideally able to handle a range of video formats, but not mandatory I’ll convert formats if I have toWhat I’m **not** looking for: - anything that streams media or requires a wifi connection - a tablet (unless it’s something that doesn’t require an account, or an internet connection, and can be configured in a kiosk mode that only exposes the media playback functions & doesn’t require a passcode to access) - hacking something together from scratch - putting something together from a kit - having to 3D print or otherwise fab anything - “just duct tape an RPi to an LCD screen & install this lightweight Linux distro” No. Stop it. 😜I’m happy to import something from your favourite overseas gadget supplier, but only if they offer something that’s good quality & won’t explode 💁‍♀️thanks all 💕<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HiveMind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HiveMind</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#accessibility</a>

Humanist+HumoristThe <a href="https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/erin-ptah/leif-thorn-volume-7" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Leif & Thorn Volume 7 campaign</a> is almost funded! As in “we are literally $20 under the main goal.”So, hey, tell your friends. Got a stretch goal to shoot for, and a week left to go.— As part of the “30 Days of Leif & Thorn” project, I started making semi-regular <a href="https://www.instagram.com/erinptah/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">posts on Instagram</a> for the first time since the end of 2021…and just got a “We suspect automatic activity on your account” warning.I quit posting there in the first place because the site felt actively hostile to small-audience artists! They sure are making an effort not to win me back, huh?—Just finished Shadow Man (<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/836594.Shadow_Man" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Goodreads link</a>, though their summary is very weird), the 1995 novel by Melissa Scott.I have no idea how or when this got on my reading list? But I’m glad it did!It’s about a spacefaring future where the unobtanium that lets humans survive FTL travel also racheted up the amount of intersex births, to the point where there are now 5 roughly-equally-distributed sexes. Most populations have adjusted, the main interplanetary language has five sets of pronouns (no overlap with the neopronouns that are popular IRL these days), but weird backwater planet Hara is trying to stick to “there are only two genders, dammit, mems are just men, fems are just women, and herms can pick either side, but they’ve gotta pick one.”We flip between the POVs of two protagonists: Warreven, a local Hara lawyer who specializes in representing the queer + intersex community, and Tatian, an offworlder who works for a pharmaceutical company. (Their main motivation to work with the weird backwater planet is, it’s where The Good Drugs grow.) Warreven’s a herm, legally identifies as a man, has some ambivalence about it but is very sure about not being a woman. Tatian is a cis man, has always considered himself exclusively into women + fems, and spends a good chunk of the book low-key realizing “help, ze’s hot.”The negative GoodReads reviews keep saying things like “nothing happened in this book,” and…that’s kinda fair? A lot of it is just…meandering around with these two characters, getting immersed in the world. You know the genre of Youtuber who lives in a weird place or has an exotic job, and vlogs about their day-to-day life? Long stretches of this book are just the sci-fi version of that.And then the political unrest heats up, there are increasingly-violent protests in the streets, Warreven is briefly put in the hospital, and we get some quality hurt-comfort with Tatian. Sadly, they don’t kiss (they really should’ve kissed), but we get scenes like “Warreven is too injured to have a full range of motion, so Tatian helps them bathe and tenderly washes their hair.” The good stuff.The gender worldbuilding is fascinating, for its weird gaps as much as its progressive ideals. Intersex Harans are fighting for their rights in a strikingly modern way — Warreven has a fellow herm co-worker who insists on being recognized and addressed with the matching pronouns, Tatian pulls strings to get them treated in an offworld-run hospital out of fear the local doctors will try to “fix” them. But even offworld, gender stereotypes are still a thing! Three new mainstream sexes just means interplanetary society came up with three new sets of stereotypes!And even though Harans have ways to indicate their legal gender (conventions of clothing, jewelry, etc), Tatian keeps trying to clock everyone’s biological sex. Okay, so he’s not wrong to think “it’s oppressive and wrong that all Harans are pressured to present as male or female, whether they identify that way or not.” But also — dude, don’t you have trans people in the interplanetary space future? If someone is presenting as male, maybe it’s not cool to over-analyze their breast size?Sigh. We can maybe cut him a little slack, because he does it most noticeably with Warreven, and he’s having a mild sexuality crisis over being hot for Warreven.It’s a shame there’s no sequel. (There’s also no fic — there’s <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Shadow%20Man%20-%20Melissa%20Scott" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">an AO3 tag for it</a>, I’m guessing the book got nominated for Yuletide at some point, but it hasn’t been canonized because nobody wrote any fills.) A lot of points got set up during the “meandering around daily life” chapters that were never followed through on, and I’d like to see where they went. Wouldn’t mind spending more time with these characters in general.And, you know, it’s never a bad time for more tender hair-washing.<a href="https://erinptah.wordpress.com/2024/11/02/three-things-make-a-post-backerkit-instagram-shadow-man/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://erinptah.wordpress.com/2024/11/02/three-things-make-a-post-backerkit-instagram-shadow-man/</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://erinptah.wordpress.com/tag/crowdfunding/" target="_blank">#crowdfunding</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://erinptah.wordpress.com/tag/instagram/" target="_blank">#instagram</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://erinptah.wordpress.com/tag/recs/" target="_blank">#recs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://erinptah.wordpress.com/tag/shadow-man/" target="_blank">#ShadowMan</a>
