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.

This many be true. But, if so, it must not be considered an important issue by more than 50% of the people because it isn't factoring into their votes.
It doesn't help that immigrants are scary. Instead of addressing it on the emotional level and calming down the fears, politicians choose to gaslight those who are afraid (rationally or not).

"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."

I recently made a full disk encryption on my computer via the debian installer.
I partitioned it like this:
SSD:
-- unencrypted part --
Boot - 1GB space, Mounting point: /boot
EFI - 512MB space, Mounting point: ESP, bootable flag: on
-- encrypted part -- Encrypted container with a volume group (vg-1) containing 3 logical volumes: Root - 50GB space, Mounting point: / Swap - 30GB space, Mounting point: swap Home - Rest of space, Mounting point: /home
Second harddrive fully encrypted with one logical volume and mounting point /mnt/data
The install of linux worked pretty well.
Unfortunately, the hibernation part doesn't work out of the box. When I press hibernate (or standby), it only goes to the lock screen. How can I solve that issue? (Is it even a good idea to use hibernation on encrypted devices?)
Second thing: As you can see from my setup, I use 2 disks. When I start up my system, I only need to enter my decryption password once (not twice for the 2nd HD) and I see, that my second hard disk seems to be mounted already. It seems that people usually struggle with typing in their passwords twice and want a solution for that. Is it possible, that debian automatically fixed this for me (It's the same pw for both)?
You have to use two swaps if you already use one swap, because one will be used when the system is on, but the second will be used to set the RAM content + the 1st content into SWAP (if any), otherwise, it would fail.
Then, find the hibernation swap uuid:
sudo swapon --show
lsblk -o name,uuid
Then
# /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=UUID=xxxx"
\#/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
resume=UUID=xxxx
# bash
sudo update-grub
sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
# to hibernate on lid switch
# /etc/systemd/logind.conf
HandleLidSwitch=hibernate
I have this working on Debian like how you have it set up, everything on an encrypted lvm volume, except for boot and efi. Just one disk though. When waking up, it asks for the password like it does during normal bootup. It then restores RAM from the encrypted swap after you type the password. I think it worked out of the box, but it has been a while, so not 100% sure if I had to enable this somehow. Anyway this looks good to me.
If you manually run systemctl hibernate, does that work? Assuming this also does not work, you need to look at the logs during the failed hibernate attempt. Probably something like sudo journalctl -f and/or sudo dmesg -wH (for kernel logs). Open this up in two terminals, run systemctl hibernate and observe any errors or warnings.
It's possible this is a hardware/driver issue, i.e. a driver prevents hibernation or fails at it. You may be able to figure out which driver/device is responsible by looking at the logs.

If Starmer was serious in condemning atrocities committed in Gaza, he could stop sending weapons and intelligence to Israel, stop trading with them, kick out the ambassador, recognise Palestine and more. None of that, quite the opposite in fact. The article goes on to expose our current Israeli ambassador Tzipi Hotovely for the far right extremist she is. She is a war criminal and should not be given sanctuary in UK or anywhere.
It is long past time Tzipi Hotovely was expelled from London. Starmer’s inaction proves he has no intention of stopping his support for Israel’s crimes in Gaza

Nachdem ich einem Berater im beruflichen Kontext erzählt habe, dass ich auch an Schulen bin, hat er gefragt, ob es irgendwas gibt, was man sich aus Schulen für den Lernprozess in Organisationen abschauen könnte. Meine Antwort: „Nichts. Komplett gar nichts. Wo wir mit dem Lernprozess in unserer Organisation stehen ist der Schule um 100 Jahre voraus. Wo man sich was abgucken kann sind Games. Roblox & Co, die haben den idealen Lernprozess in Games 100% umgesetzt.“ #FediLZ @fedieltern
Deswegen sind Games auch so addictive.Sie bieten genau die richtige Mischung aus Anstrengung und Erfolg. Nicht zu schwer, aber gerade schwer genug, um eine maximale Dopaminausschüttung zu erreichen.Perfekt auf unser Belohnungssytem antrainiert.Deshalb sind intelligente Kinder anfällig für Gamingsucht.Sie sind in der Schule oft massiv unterfordert und müssen ständig warten. Schmerzhafte Langeweile. In Games treffen sie auf Herausf., Gehirne wollen Anstrengung&Belohnung.
ich kenne jetzt Roblox nicht im Detail, aber meine Erfahrungen mit anderen Handyapps sind eher, dass das Belohnungssystem nicht genutzt wird, um etwas zu lehren, sondern um den Spieler bei der Stange zu halten, mit der Intention, Werbung platzieren zu können. Gelehrt wird meistens nur lineares Handeln, abarbeiten von Tasks, Anklicken von Symbolen. Da kenne ich kaum kreativere Einsatzgebiete. Im Schulbereich hat die AntonApp ein Belohnungssystem, das für eine Zeit lang funktioniert, bevor es langweilig wird.

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.

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...

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.. 😁
