I need to investigate this

- Wikipedistka has an explicitly feminine grammatical gender; Czech Wikipedia has N (default) /M/F options just like the English one has pronouns. I think they needed to patch MediaWiki to allow for gender-specific prefixes, lol. (The wrong-gender pages as well as English User: get created automatically as redirects to the correct one, which accomodates gender changes over an editor’s life and helps international visitors who can’t be expected to learn the grammar of overly gendered languages. The only non-inclusive aspect I found is that the literal translation of User: is Uživatel: (male by default) and that does redirect correctly, but the female form Uživatelka:→Wikipedistka: redirects were not created. That’s not something you’d notice so its discoverability is about as low as titty tumor. The Czech MediaWiki l10n only got patched sometime between 2010-04 when the discussion was held and 2012-01 when the first Wikipedistka: site was archived at archive.org (renaming a site does not reflect in history?!) Edit: the first mention of gender in Czech MediaWiki is in this 2009 commit, really strange they went 6 years before the first steps to implement it in the i18n)
I’m scared
Don’t be. My research efforts are limited by the fact that
- she does not seem to use the nick outside Wikipedia
- there are no reverse image search matches on the little piece of furry art shown
- not that I didn’t try, I did quite a bit of inpainting/outpainting to approximate the missing parts
If you did find them what would you do? How would you feel?

Do you mean IRL? I’d probably offer them a trans rights sticker because I have too many from an event. That’s what I did the last time I met an openly trans person. I’m too shy for small talk, let alone a date, and it doesn’t help I put trans people on a pedestal (they deserve some praise given the transphobia they have to face). I’m sexually attracted to women but not especially trans ones nor furries, although my non-sexual preference to be around nerds of any gender increases the ratio of trans/cis women I meet (as for furries, the sample size is non-existent but I imagine there’s more of them among nerds).

Cuddle time!
Wait, I meant to ask what that is.
The device is found by the keywords “Dakota Weather Station Clip”. It has a battery holder for a coin cell, which can be opened/closed with one such cell (or a fingernail unless it’s too tight). It’s convenient but adds thickness to the device, most commonly a bike speedometer. It is featured on Wikipedia’s list of screw head types (linked by OP) although most such covers don’t actually screw in, they latch after a small rotation. This seems to be one of them since there’s a triangle marking the latch position (albeit useless without a corresponding label on the device).
I’ve seen ones where the clip has been clearly forced with a small flathead screwdriver. If you have one (or a piece of cutlery, ballpoint pen core, twig or something), insert it sideways instead for more torque without damaging force!
I think it’s a bicycle computer.
Bios battery? Haven’t seen this ever before though. Also really weird place in the middle of the keyboard.
