[watercolormagicalgirl]

portal turrets were so ahead of their time actually because they’re autistic lil robogirlies who are ever so slightly chuuni and they’re adorable and polite and even though they could kill you in 10 seconds they’re incredible instant-lossbait and they go ahahaha >:3c and aaaa-auuu D: and awawawawa @_@ and other such noises

[watercolormagicalgirl]

to everyone tagging this with stuff like “gender” or “THIS IS SO ME” or “i want to be a portal turret so bad”: you’re cutes

[arch-linux-official]

Dude why does cucklinux.com point there

[biblicallyaccuratemoth]

life as a trans woman be like

“hey here’s this trope i like exploring or this innocuous and non-gender related thought I’ve had or liked for years”

someone else nods, “oh yeah that’s a trans thing”

“huh?”

[emacs-unofficial]

Shoutout to my dozens of fellow transfem linux gimmick blogs, for some fucking reason.

[mewrrythekibby]

Vim is everywhere

I've made this post before on a separate blog...

DDR orders its buttons in left,down,up,right

Canvas (learning platform) can use j and k to move up and down in lists - tumblr does this too

emacs has its "evil mode" plugin

There's that many vim users, huh?

[cplusplus-official-deactivated2]

clang or gcc (or msvc for some reason)

I'm a clang supporter through and through :3

Also friends don't let friends use MSVC.

Also curious about @c-official's take on this

[assembly-official]

I tend to use GCC

[mpd-official]

clangd as an LSP and gcc as a compiler

A fun thing about computer skills is that as you have more of them, the number of computer problems you have doesn't go down.

This is because as a beginner, you have troubles because you don't have much knowledge.

But then you learn a bunch more, and now you've got the skills to do a bunch of stuff, so you run into a lot of problems because you're doing so much stuff, and only an expert could figure them out.

But then one day you are an expert. You can reprogram everything and build new hardware! You understand all the various layers of tech!

And your problems are now legendary. You are trying things no one else has ever tried. You Google them and get zero results, or at best one forum post from 1997. You discover bugs in the silicon of obscure processors. You crash your compiler. Your software gets cited in academic papers because you accidently discovered a new mathematical proof while trying to remote control a vibrator. You can't use the wifi on your main laptop because you wrote your own uefi implementation and Intel has a bug in their firmware that they haven't fixed yet, no matter how much you email them. You post on mastodon about your technical issue and the most common replies are names of psychiatric medications. You have written your own OS but there arent many programs for it because no one else understands how they have to write apps as a small federation of coroutine-based microservices. You ask for help and get Pagliacci'd, constantly.

But this is the natural of computer skills: as you know more, your problems don't get easier, they just get weirder.

[sreegs]

you know you've made it when you're googling problems and ending up with 0-9 results

[manyblinkinglights]

#you don't actually have to be good to have these problems#you just have to be obsessed with a micro-issue that no one else cares about

And this is why my computer crashes when I let it sit for too long. Not only am I introducing new issues with the way I want to do things but all the old issues I introduced while learning and trying to fix problems 8 years ago are still there.

[libreelec-official]

I mean is it really an issue if sometimes if I leave my computer in sleep mode the monitor resolution drops down to like 12 pixels total? I don't think so

we should do a linux utilities bracket

[emacs-evil-mode]

Gotta exclude @emacs-unofficial basically an OS in and of itself. If only it had a good editor. Vim perhaps?

[mpd-official]

vim mention 👀
