1/2 A brain implant just let a paralyzed man walk again — with no body movement required. At Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland, a man who had been paralyzed from the waist down for over a decade just took steps again — not with exoskeletons or braces, but by using a digital bridge between his brain and spinal cord. Neurosurgeons implanted two wireless devices: one on his motor cortex (inside his skull) and one on his spinal cord.
2/3 These implants decode the man’s intention to walk and send signals directly to the lower spine, bypassing the damaged area completely. No cables. No external assistance. With a few weeks of training, the man could walk across a room, climb stairs, and even navigate uneven ground. His movements were not robotic or jerky — they were fluid, responsive, and conscious. This is the first time a full digital bypass of a spinal injury has resulted in real-world, self-initiated walking.
3/3 The system uses machine learning to decode brain signals in real-time and adapts over time to match the patient's movement goals. It's not just a tool — it's an extension of the nervous system. And as incredible as it sounds, the man’s original spinal cord function began showing signs of natural reconnection after several weeks, suggesting that stimulation may promote healing too. Neurotechnology has reached a point where thought alone can resurrect motion — even after years of silence.
Global economic growth is slowing more than expected only a few months ago as the fallout from the Trump administration’s trade war takes a bigger toll on the U.S. economy, the OECD said on Tuesday, revising down its outlook.
14 pays, dont quatre membres permanents, ont soutenu la résolution visant à mettre fin à la guerre à Gaza et à autoriser l'acheminement de l'aide humanitaire, tandis qu'un seul pays s'y est opposé. La résolution a été rejetée.
"The essential characteristic of Western civilization that distinguishes it from the arrested and petrified civilizations of the East was and is its concern for freedom from the state. The history of the West, from the age of the Greek polis down to the present-day resistance to socialism, is essentially the history of the fight for liberty against the encroachments of the officeholders."
-- Ludwig Von Mises (1881-1973) Economist and social philosopher
Finding computer equipment that respects user freedom and owner control can feel a lot like squeezing water out from stone. You may be one of a few of us who have tepidly followed the developments surrounding RISC-V since its inception last decade. And it looks like the fruits of those efforts are finally coming to bear.
“Once a matter has become, in one way or another, the subject of regulation by the United Nations, be it by resolution or the General Assembly or by convention between member States [Nations] at the insistence of the United Nations, that subject ceases to be a matter being 'essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of the member States...'”

This is deliberate and open starvation as a weapon of war. Israel has made these food hubs the only method of obtaining food aid, refusing to let aid agencies in. And the world stands by. I am deeply ashamed of my own government for supporting these genocidaires.
As long as you believe that “authority” is legitimate you'll always be the loser because in your own head you believe that you are a slave to anyone who claims to be an "authority”.
The truth is that you are an autonomous, inherently free individual. You ARE your only authority.

So this is a thing that is VERY VERY much nowhere near done yet, but I want to share what I've got so far. It's a list of as many retro games as I can find which had a trans person on the dev team or otherwise involved in some way, along with a quick summary of who and what they did. It's partially an attempt to counter the narrative that trans people are some New Thing that's only just showed up on the gameing scene and also society in general, which sometimes these kinds of lists can accidentally imply, and also it's just kind of a fun bit of HEY LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL SHIT TRANS PEOPLE DID. I've found over 170 games so far, with quite a lot I'm still to properly go off on.
(Edit: That's over 300 (!) games now. Thank you SO much people who've pointed me at stuff I've missed. I'll be working on trying to play all of these and write up stuff about the ones I haven't really said anything about yet.)
Thank you so much everyone sharing and providing feedback on this. I'm aiming to flesh out a bunch of the games I've not said much about yet over the coming days. I've got some really fun ones to add as well from stuff people have shown me since last night and all.
I'm hoping this'll be a good resource for people when it's done 💜
I've added a few more games based on stuff peeps have mentioned to me. There's some Guitar Hero on there now, and Club Penguin, and another Sonic, and some more Pokemon games.
It's a good idea but maybe ask them If they want to be on the list, idk. The list will eventually end up in the hands of these "anti woke" assholes and they tend to doxx and harass devs for being trans. So being on the list might not be something everyone wants.
dang you really gotta play m.u.l.e.! way ahead of its time like much of berry’s work.
there’ve been a couple of attempts at remaking it over the years, i feel like it could actually work if it was a team of trans folks giving it the love it deserves lol
I see Maddie Blaustein is on The List for Pokémon Channel's Meowth. Awesome. Can I also add;
Pokémon Snap, where she voiced Meowth again. (Albeit a wild one this time)
Pokémon Puzzle League (Panel De Pon dressed up as the Pokémon anime) where she reprised several roles from the cartoon including Team Rocket's Meowth once again, Sabrina's Alakazam, and Lieutenant Surge.
And perhaps her greatest role on the N64, Pokémon Stadium - in which she specifically voices Magikarp yelling "KAAAARRP!" in the Magikarp's Splash minigame.
sorry if this has been shared with you before, but you can add all the games mentioned in this interview (virtual lab, lady sword, quiz toukou shashin, chiki chiki tengoku, armored metal police jack) badgamehalloffame.com/intervie…
An interview with the elusive Megu-tan -- the developer of Virtual Lab! We discuss their brief time in the games industry, the circumstances of their game's troubled development, and the endless wonders of virtual reality.
Just based on statistics, and the amount of Trans people working in tech in general, I'm willing to bet every single game made by any team counting more than ten people had at least one Trans person working on it at some point...
Fond player of M.U.L.E. here (on 🏳️🌈 C=64 breadbins) and 💯on 🏳️⚧️ appreciation! There's c64-wiki.com/wiki/M.U.L.E. for an infodump. Loadsa screenshots exist out there, too.
Fun fact: Native 4player support on Atari x00 series, modded versions for C=64 (Userport adapter provided) exist, too. A superb & entertaining group gameplay 🥳🕹️.
holy SHIT, how did i not know that Jumper was made by Maddy Thorson???? I played Jumper ENDLESSLY as a kid. It was a source of major inspiration for me when I was a 12 year old making games on Game Maker
Oh wow, this reminds me that I actually knew one of the people on this list when I was a kid. We both frequented the same online forum. I suspected she was trans because I ran across her deadname, but she made it clear she did not want to talk about that, so I dropped the subject. People didn't talk about such things back then. She had no way to know I'd be accepting about that (and I had no way to know part of that was because I'm nb.)
Heya! I have another one you might want to include on that! I worked on Champions Online, which launched in 2009.
The only wrinkle there is that I wasn't out of the closet back when we first shipped the game, but I did end up working on it more years after starting transition, and my name's even been updated in the credits!
Thanks for making the list!!! This is awesome!
Also, if it were inclusive to games in 2010, I'd have to mention Star Trek Online, too (same deal).
Depends on how vague you want "involved in some way" to get, but given Sophie Wilson was basically responsible for the original ARM chips, I could argue nearly every mobile game, at least, wouldn't exist but for her.. 😁
Oh, would you look at that? It almost lifts the spirit, but not quite.

thing is, I'm not even opposed to dismantling IP as a concept, and I'm not wild about wielding it to oppose AI, because the same argument is used to shut down the internet archive

This is the form you need to submit to them authorities when your pets that happen to be included in CITES appendix II/B made more of themselves in Italy and you hope to legally transfer them to someone else, even if you're not charging money. Of course they charge you for submitting the paper and you can only put 6 "pups" on one paper. Now, imagine if you have tortoises that decided to lay eggs. Or better yet, a pet tarantula that's included. And that's supposed to stop illegal pet trade....
Seriously. Imagine a spider that produces something like 800 spiderlings and then you're required to register all of them, 6 at a time. Who the fuck will do that, or pay someone for doing that instead of just grabbing whatever they want on ebay or something? How does that make sense?! Fuckin' Europe....

La cour des comptes confirme tout ce que nous avions écrit. Dans un rapport publié ce 3 juin, les magistrats étrillent le dispositif qui – cela devient une constante au niveau national comme européen – n’a fait l’objet d’aucune étude d’impact. «D’un simple objet réglementaire technique à vocation informative, le DPE s’est dès lors, dans les faits, transformé en outil stratégique et politique aux conséquences majeures pour les particuliers et pour le régime de la propriété sans que les conséquences de cette transformation et de son calendrier de réalisation n’aient été clairement mesurées, notamment en termes de risque d’éviction, même temporaire, de logements du parc locatif», souligne le rapport, à lire ici.
Regardez maintenant | Le champion du diagnostic de performance énergétique, c'est le gaz. Pourquoi alors qu'est érigée la lutte pour le climat, ce gros émetteur de CO2 est-il avantagé ?
We really need a way to communicate to the wider public that Zionism and Israel are *not the same thing as Judaism.*
That being against these is not anti-Semitic (or in fact even based on the fact that they are connected with Judaism!) and not wanting thousands of people to be murdered is not the same as supporting terrorism.
The media and politicians need to challenge the propaganda and tear down the automatic lies that keep coming out. The fallacious argument that if you are against murdering women and children that you are therefore pro-terrorist?!
The basic logic of this just needs a second to think about - is there no-one left in the media or politics with a voice powerful enough and articulate enough to defend reality?
Zionism and the state of Israel are commercial, colonialist, genocidal operations. They represent money and power and the quest for more of both of those.
Most of the backing and support comes from outside Israel - the UK and USA mainly. Two colonialist powers scrabbling to continue their proxy wars and power struggles in a part of the world that they have destroyed and ravaged and have no right to be involved in.
That is it. They do not give a shit about Jewish people beyond using them for their ends to justify violence and oppression. This is based on the terrible fact that Jewish people suffered the same things as Israel (and their supporters) are committing on other groups now. The uniforms are different - the hatred and lies are just the same.

Il ne s'agît pas d'être anti-nucléaires, juste réalistes pour deux raisons :
1 - le nouveau nucléaire est trop lent à être déployé dans des délais compatibles avec l'urgence climatique, écologique et politique.
2 - Le nucléaire maintient la France dans une abondance d'énergie qui nous empêche de nous adapter au nouveau paradigme advenu : l'anthropocène...
Conclusion : je défends la thèse inverse de #JeanMarcJancovici pour qui le nucléaire est un amortisseur ( #NucléaireAmortisseur ). Le nucléaire est une excuse pour l'inaction d'autant plus que nous sommes confrontés à toutes les autres limites planétaires... ( #NucléaireEmpêcheur )
De plus il est bien plus dangereux que ce qu'il affirme et il est de toute façon non durable.
Par contre le fait que le nucléaire soit un amortisseur pour la France et l'Europe, c'est une évidence absolue. Le nucléaire n'est une excuse pour rien du tout, le problème c'est les fossiles carbonés en premier lieu. Les gens sérieux y compris dans le développement des ENR comme Karim Megherbi sont d'ailleurs d'accord.
@julien_delalande@diaspora-fr.org ça n'est pas accessible. Quoi qu'il en soit il faut qu'on se débarrasse de 80% de nos sources d'énergie, il est complètement évident qu'on ne va pas se débarrasser du nucléaire en même temps. À moins que le projet ne soit de retourner au Moyen-Âge en commettant un génocide au passage ?
@julien_delalande@diaspora-fr.org oui j'ai vu. OK Janco n'est pas Dieu, il se trompe, parfois il dit des conneries. Mais il évolue. Il n'est plus le chantre du nucléaire, il ne dit plus du mal de l'éolien comme il le faisait en 2012. Il faut évoluer aussi 😀
Sur "Par contre le fait que le nucléaire soit un amortisseur pour la France et l’Europe, c’est une évidence absolue." :
En plus de ce que j'ai déjà évoqué, il faudrait dissocier un cœur d'activités stratégiques soumis à décisions démocratiques avec débat citoyen comme le militaire ou la production d'acier, du reste de l'activité pour lequel le maître mot serait "sobriété", "justice sociale", etc.
C'est un des sujet que je maîtrise le moins si tant est que j'en maîtrise un; je crois que nous ne faisons pas assez travailler d'ingénieurs qui adorent ça! Nous ça nous rendrait dingues mais eux ils ont des outils, des méthodes, des techniques etc. Il n'y a pas encore de lobbie de l'autosuffisance! Pourquoi? Parce que comme son nom l'indique elle n'a plus besoin de source ou juste pour démarrer... Imaginez que nos appareils en fonctionnant se mettent également à produire de l'énergie comme le mouvement de l'eau ou des vagues connu et exploité, tout mouvement, tout fonctionnement est une énergie... Quand nous parlons nous pourrions stocker l'énergie de notre mâchoire... C'est comme ça pour tout. Nous sommes des producteurs d'énergie sans nous en rendre compte... Il y a eu une réalisation je ne sais plus où d'un asphalte qui récupère l'énergie des bagnoles qui passent... Donc tout est possible. Y a plus qu'à.
Je connais très mal le sujet et je suis nul en maths et en physique; je fais confiance en la science, la technologie, le progrès... Nous optimisons la rapidité d'internet par le laser maintenant (c'est en projet) donc l'énergie est encore optimisable...
Nous rechargeons des appareils par simple rapprochement entre la base et l'appareil; je ne sais pas bien mais il doit y avoir des conducteurs plus performants à mettre en œuvre... Sans déperdition. Je ne sais pas à quelle vitesse va le courant? Mais c'est à étudier pour se déplacer dans l'univers....
J'ai ma réponse sur la vitesse du courant: dans le vide c'est la vitesse de la lumière; il faudrait trouver le moyen de faire avancer un courant sans récepteur connu...
Encore que ça n'est pas assez rapide (la vitesse de la lumière) pour aller d'un point à un autre dans l'univers... Mais pour rejoindre un trou de verre... Et puis il faudrait que le courant soit capable de projeter une capsule à sa vitesse de diffusion... Ça parait compliqué. Enfin il faudrait un anti-g impressionnant! Déjà que les cosmonaute sont scotchés avec leur petite navette pourries...
Pour revenir au sujet il faudrait recycler l'énergie non utilisée, utilisée, stockée, transportée, sur tout mouvement existant et sur l'électricité et tout appareil qui en nécessite... Au boulot!
