pffft! That's just a small step, but I plan on coming back. How's things there? Is the image descriptions? IG's are way larger on the web version. O.o

Oh good, after seeing about 3864 people talk about the Gilette ad I finally found the ad itself.

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."

the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.

I forget who it was on who was looking for Scrivener but couldn't afford it... you might be interested in AtomicScribbler, which has nearly the same features (a bit simpler, which can be a blessing!) and recently went entirely free: https://www.atomicscribbler.com/

"If someone mispronounces a word, do not mock them. That means they learned it from reading."

Yeah or the language being spoken is not their first one, or they have any number of neurological or physical or mental illnesses, or they're hard of hearing, or they speak the language with an accent where that is the standard pronunciation, or a million other things and you know what you shouldn't mock anyone for this ever anyway.

reply to this and i'll assign u a gradient

The fediverse is truly anarchy at its finest.

Make a post about a fun thing you learned to do, and suddenly people from countries you've never been to, on continents you've never seen are chiming in with:

"I also like that thing!"
"How can I learn the thing?"
"What do you like most about this thing?"
"I have a recipe for this thing!"
"Here's another thing you might like to learn, too!"

This painting is called "The lightning struck Tower". For #tarot reasons and because #harrypotter.

Picture shows an abstract painting dominated by yellow and bright ultramarine. The chaotic shapes are cut by a very strong, aggressive looking angular line in blue.

honest question. why do white women feel the need to write about and talk about non-white experiences?

having a friend that is non-white is damn well not the same as being non-white.

there's a particular type of hubris that i've found in white women. they use elevated social position to speak for me and others like me that never asked or wanted them to do so.

psa - if you do this kind of thing, pls stop. if you see someone else doing it, suggest that they stop.

I need animes. Something like Makoto Shinkai animes. Any suggestion?

There should be some sort of organized board of tagged potential projects so that hackers, tinkerers, hobbyists, etc, can find projects that are important to others. People can jump at projects that they find interesting and help other people in the process. 😊

Ou alors, je fais pas de sieste, et je fais un fav game ou un fav = un couplet de rap sur la personne qui fav 🤔

reminder

Does anyone here have opinions on #flatpak vs #snap?
For some reason I prefer #flatpak but I can't remember why! 😅
