There are number of speed running events in Europe that we’ve helped in the past in a few different ways. However, how much support they wish to provide for the trans community is entirely on them as they are independent from us.
We continue to offer remote runs for those who cannot attend the event for any reason. There’s a number of hours considered for remote runs each time. Short of a frightfully expensive and difficult expansion to Europe,I’m not sure how else to assist.
This would be abandoning trans folk at precisely the time they need the most support. Most people can’t or won’t uproot their entire lives from one country to another.
It’s not a great time to be trans in this country no matter where you live unfortunately. I hope it changes, permanently, for the better.
There’s no laws in Georgia that forbid recognition of such indicators. While they don’t currently issue such licenses they are not banned like in Florida.
Atlanta is not the same as Georgia. It’s extremely liberal and supportive of LGBTQ+. This is a very important distinction that cannot be ignored.
One little omnibar in @gamesdonequick.com's speedrun livestream carried more weight than most broadcast systems. Built by @supportclass.net. Learn how they did it:

iow: This would not be a vibe coding session. We're not talking about sitting back & letting it write your website for you.
We're talking about having it write code on a line-by-line level as you work with it on each feature branch directly, ensuring that it only writes what you want it to write.
I'm not aware of any actually good speech to code transcription tools yet :/. Intent is when the AI writes code, programmer would have the knowledge to review and control what's written to ensure that code meets the intent of the programmer and not what the AI wishes to do.
As someone who's recently disabled, I've been faced with this issue myself and I'm curious what people think.
Please take a moment to vote on my poll regarding generative AI as a tool for programing with physical disabilities.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Just say " I get uncomfortable when a trans woman outperforms me in a speedrun."
That's all you have to do to start.

Emails will be going on to those who were not selected as well as those who were. But I will take a little bit of time until we are certain about who is going and who is not. So we don't want to send premature decline emails. I hope you understand and please be patient with us. Thank you!
Absolutely.l We were just down bto the wire deciding if this was the event to give it a shot. This is very much a trial run. There won't be a large number of tables available, and we expect some bumps in the road. But what we learn here will be absolutely brought forward to the next one.

Don't forget to tell them that you were being watched by tens of thousands of people live. That usually gets folks going. And if that didn't help have them call me I'll sort them out lol
I also feel that it's extremely dangerous to alter the rules to a prize pool. You should be extremely clear of why, what, and that you have the right to even do so. Unless the change is necessary to protect the fundamental integrity of the contest, IMO it should wait till the next event. That's all.
Also, Milo could've maintained a USD bank account and avoided paying conversion fees twice to pay US contractors. Furthermore, if the agreement was $20 an hour USD, that should be AFTER any costs for conversion. PayPal offers you that option when you pay someone.
If you are promised 20/hr USD, you should be paid exactly that, as a contractor. Avoid PayPal to avoid those fees. You will owe your own taxes. If you're paid less for any reason you've been underpaid and should be able to claim the difference IMO.
I don't want to act like I understand the whole PACE situation. So I'm going to focus on the past issue at the end of the summary Google Doc. @greensuigi.bsky.social
We're working on it!
Exactly what I expect. While here in NL we aren't as held back (yet at this rate), @bsgmarathon.com supports the same here.
Love to our community and the LGBTQ+ community in general
Friends of GDQ, I want you to know that trans & non-binary people will ALWAYS be welcome & supported by GDQ. I am keeping a close eye on what the Federal gov't's next moves will be, and if we need to fight, we will.
We will support any efforts to protect your right to bodily autonomy. Full stop.
This AGDQ2025 was incredible. Thank you all so much for making it one of the most entertaining events we’ve had in many years!
We're working on it
If you are scared after the election, just remember you have friends who care about you. This isn't the end of the world.
GDQ will also be there for you, always, to provide a time of peace to give yourself a break from the bitterness of the world. We can & will continue to do good for those in need
