that's right

i'd try a cucumber and seaweed pizza tbh

hi

cracking open a bluesky with the boys

A little sad Kaze Emanuar has to rely on clickbait titles but he stlil brings the goods.

Regrettably we are all at the whims of the capricious and all-power Algorithm

she's neat imo

while i generally prefer chewy cookies i do think crunchy cookies have a place in this world. usually that place is the dumpster but not always

also happy pride all

naw that's cousin dino's thing

good thing you're takin em now otherwise we'd'a had to introduce you to our cousin tony

yeah but i'm trying my best to hang in there

not a bad dub all things considered lol

finally the time war is over

new type of guy

caligula's horse imo is one of the best meta bands out there atm

i hear kdenlive is p good these days, though have never tried it myself

on top of that, we bust our asses to make shit to deadlines only to be hit with mass layoffs while record profits are reported. pirate shit, it literally doesn't matter

i guess economically i can think of it as people who can actually afford software subsidizing it for the masses, in some kind of a janky cross-subsidy scheme.

Take it from someone who has been a software engineer for almost fifteen years. The distribution of wealth within software companies, especially large ones, is so whack that the actual people who do the work see barely any money from product sales. And for enterprise version of windows? Don't worry actual corporations buying licenses are spending orders of magnitude more money on bulk licensing than you would if you could have bought a single user license yourself.

I can't believe the fucking NEW YORKER feels more left leaning than the democratic party these days.

oh yeah i mean there's still like an order of magnitude of difference compared to microsoft lmao

FWIW, I think I can remember five big Linux controversies over the past 15 years

Torvalds' abusive behaviors (though it seems he's since chilled out on and apologized for), and richard stallman just as a whole i would say count among them too

this sucks, like a lot. but i don't think this is a problem solely with discord? no matter where you run a community as a moderator you're going to have to make decisions surrounding transness and transphobia, and these moderators chose a path of transphobia.

i do think discord sucks in a lot of ways but it's currently the most user-friendly option out there sadly for managing a chat-based community. you can argue all day that irc is better but it lacks a lot of features and is really intimidating to a lot of people who aren't so tech literate.

the fact that it's used for centralizing information though IS BAD. make a dang wiki or something lol.

this is extremely not a healthy or functioning nation lol

it all comes full circle

dang haven't thought about that place in a while
