The realization that you can, with great reliability, guess someone's religion based upon geography. They will be equally as convinced as you that theirs is the "right" one, but the "rightness" of a specific religion is often mutually exclusive. That was the first domino for me.

It's happening again!
I didn't have a chance to attend all the sessions I wanted to last time, so I'm glad to have another opportunity!

It's the artificial circadian-rhythm destruction part of the year.
Idk why we have to make it lighter later now when it was gonna do that anyway. Let my seratonin convert to melatonin at the end of the day, pls!

The motto of the modern tech industry is "You can just do things to people"

Wonderful! Then you're good.
I give that standard caveat to everyone these days with so many people jumping ship. I just want them to be successful ❤️

Remember that Linux is not Windows. If you expect "Windows but not MS" then you'll be disappointed.
Allow yourself to take time to understand how Linux operates and do some trial/error.
Once it clicks, I think you'll love it.

As a critter whose design is also inspired by weather, I approve!

While it's hard to believe in my neck of the woods that this winter was this warm, we were really only slightly below normal temperature-wise, December-February.

@puppypixelz.bsky.social drew an absolutely stunning icon for me! It couldn't have come out any more perfectly!

This is way too relatable.

Now I can't trust either of you. Blueberries and peaches are tied for 1st place as my favorite fruit.

seeing people actually installing linux this week after getting sick of big tech's perversion of the computer is unironically giving me hope. we can live in harmony with the computer when we don't let parasites in big tech put their evil sludge in it

Science is not truth.
Science is finding the truth.

When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

native gardening is fulfilling, it feels like bridging a gap and building a relationship with the things that live around you by inviting them in instead of fighting to keep everything untouched. watching a host plant be demolished by caterpillars becomes exciting instead of frustrating lol

Only 3 decades ago, a whitehouse blowjob was considered an impeachable offense. Now I guess raping and murdering children isnt...

Hooray!
RCS is back!

Just looked it up.
I wish I had heard about this sooner!

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
I still contend that it's still positive in the freedom dimension as compared to Discord.
Let's not let perfection get in the way of improvement.

I joined Stoat but I never liked Discord anyway.
Good excuse to use more FOSS is the way I see it.

I hear stoat.chat might be a somewhat comparable alternative.

Self hosting and the democratization of the technology in our lives is the solution. I firmly believe this.

Reminds me of the new guy in my local telegram group.
Except it would be 14 messages in a row.

The Sox-ings will continue until morale improves

Climate change has altered our perceptions of what's normal.

That's just the High Speed ring from Gran Turismo

People also think all that brass is mostly trumpet but in a lot of cases, the lead voice is the SC-88 Pro French horn patch!

This'll probably fall on deaf ears, but you can see what the population of DDG users really thinks about AI...

Sending good vibes your way.
Health issues are the worst!
I hope whatever is happening resolves quickly and completely.
