My name’s Sasha Henriksen. 30 year old enby from Iceland. Here’s a bunch of links that tells you more about me.

I think those three links should give a good summary of who i am and make it easier to talk to me.

Also if you wanna support me for whatever reason, here's some places where you can do that.

Today's Public Domain Character: Jor-L

[ID: Black and white drawing of a man concentrating while writing with a pen on paper, wearing a buttoned shirt. He's using a geometry compass to measure something]

While his son remains copyrighted for another decade or so, Jor-L the father of Superman is public domain because the first appearances of him and his wife Lora did not have proper copyright notice on them at a time that was a requirement.

This also extends to their home planet Krypton.

You'll notice I'm not using the later spellings of Jor-El and Lara as those are trademarked as is the term Krypton. But Jor-L is not trademarked.

i on and off look into what ladybird is up to, keeping an eye on it. its a new browser thats meant to be in alpha in 2026.

what i find great about it is that its building its own open source browser engine. not to hammer it home but chromium is just way too dominant and yes we got gecko and webkit and im glad we do more choice is better.

also the browser itself will be open source so thats also cool.

There's something I call the Popular Alternative Complex where something that is flocked to as a popular alternative will inevitibly disappoint and become part of enshittification as they become too comfortable being the popular alternative.

duckduckgo, mozilla firefox, ubuntu, storygraph, telegram, discord

sometimes its because they become too big or go public, sometimes theres leadership change and sometimes it seems they just lose their core values.

but i find it often to be the case be it duckduckgo censoring results, shoving their duck ai into the mix or carving out privacy disrespecting loopholes for microsoft, be it mozilla adding in ads and ai stuff to the browser, be it ubuntu attempting to push their own ecosystem to the detriment of others despite linux philosophy sort of going against that, to discord, a popular alternative to skype just becoming a corporate behemoth and pushing nitro so much that they slash the upload limit for non paying users

its just something ive noticed.

its why im not too optimistic about bluesky and theyve already shown their ass when they wouldnt ban jesse singal despite him being reported on multiple times for transphobia, only reason he left was because users gave him no engagement and he left back to twitter.

their trust and safety guy liked some porn and a trans woman had a bot set up to mirror likes, which are public information, bluesky is an open protocol. he banned the bot and the trans woman citing a privacy violation, again this is public info and he's a public figure liking porn on his main account. she was reinstated but boy was that a clownshow.

i do like that they want to make bluesky an open protocol thing and i believe you can host your own bluesky but the main instance is baffoonery.

With metas new tos stuff for their platforms I’m finally leaving instagram. They’ve officially stated that transphobia and homophobia isn’t against tos. Never thought I’d see the word ‘transgenderism’ in the tos of a major social media.

For people who haven’t seen yet this is metas new hate speech policy.

[PC stands for Protected Characteristic, it’s their way of defining marginalized people]

“Mental characteristics, including but not limited to allegations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, and unsupported comparisons between PC groups on the basis of inherent intellectual capacity. We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality”
Social exclusion, which means things like denying access to spaces (physical and online) and social services, except for sex or gender-based exclusion from spaces commonly limited by sex or gender, such as restrooms, sports and sports leagues, health and support groups, and specific schools.”
“We do allow content arguing for gender-based limitations of military, law enforcement, and teaching jobs. We also allow the same content based on sexual orientation, when the content is based on religious beliefs.”

Calling trans and gay people mentally ill is not against the tos. Calling for the exclusion of trans people from public life isn’t against the tos.
