I'm going to temporarily slow down on forcefemming linux users to instead forcelinux trans people. My girlfriend still uses windows. When I come over to her place I'm going to show up with an installation media and use my feminine charm to make her install linux

this somehow breached containment and as you'd expect from the Reddit crowd the comments are filled with learned incompetence and reactionary takes

linux isn't harder you were just taught to use windows (windows is actually way more complicated once you know both. source I do)

linux has graphical applications for settings and installing stuff and whatever, you don't need to input commands if you don't want to

inputting commands isn't "coding" you just copy and paste 4 words that mean "run as administrator and install [program]"

and if you really do use a program that doesn't have a linux version or wine looks too complicated, that's okay!! just instead of going "NEVER!!" and playing into the Microsoft propaganda, considering saying:

I wish more developers would make their programs compatible with linux

Linux looks really cool, I'm just stuck because of [program] at the moment

fuck you Nvidia for making this harder than it needs to be

Woah that girl is really pretty

I wish that were me 😵‍💫

Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes you pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.

Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.

Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭

There's a recurring online tendency to aestheticize consensus itself. The imagined future village is full of emotionally compatible people who enjoy communal gardening, conflict resolution circles, acoustic folk music, mutual aid potlucks, and repairing bicycles together at sunset. Which is nice for the people who genuinely enjoy that lifestyle. But plenty of humans are solitary, prickly, obsessive, urban, nocturnal, sensory-seeking, technologically attached, contrarian, novelty-seeking, private, or just plain difficult. Those people do not evaporate after the revolution. They do not get Left Behind while you are Raptured into the Utopia. They become your neighbors.

Tryinging to understand the difference between "friend group" and "community" has genuinely helped me feel safer in my community. We don't need to agree, we don't need to enjoy each other's company, we just need to coexist

northstareclipse

Yes. This exactly, thank you.

I'm going to be very blunt about something. I don't enjoy most peoples' company beyond casual interactions. I wish them all the happiness in the world, but I likely won't be a part of it and that doesn't bother me. I'm more interested in things/ideas than people. I don't care about most people in the warm fuzzy sentimental sense. I do not feel personal warmth towards strangers.

What I do like, and care about, is living in a society that is at least semi-functional. And liking/caring about that means recognizing that if everyone deliberately caused problems for other people, acted carelessly or as if other people don't exist, or allowed problems we have the power to solve or mitigate to exist as-is, nothing would work at all.

I do delivery work for a living and a lot of it (maybe a little over half, especially since I choose to work on weekdays a lot of the time) is grocery delivery. So I spend a lot of time both on the road and at grocery stores. I drive carefully even when I'm in a rush because if everyone drove like a jerk, no one would be able to get anywhere. I put my carts away because if everyone left them all over the parking lot, that'd be frustrating for other customers and employees alike. If I see something that looks off on the shelves, I tell a stocker, because if everyone just allowed potentially-contaminated food to stay on shelves, we'd have a lot more sick people (one time I noticed a puffy package of meat in someone else's cart and told her she might not want to buy it). And so on. These are all prosocial/pro-community behaviors even if they don't look like the Stardew Valley ideal.

in other developments re german/anglo cultural exchange on breadstuffs, this image was posted to a facebook group yesterday

the following events ensued:

1. predictable lively discussion on the preparation of Wienerschnitzel, in which natives and wurstaboos are pro-puff and everybody else is like *confused dog head tilt* why wouldn’t you want the crust to stay ~attached to the thing you put it on? as with other fried foods?

2. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my band name” jokes

3. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my stripper name” jokes

4. one “ah yes, Bad Schnitzel! a lovely spa town” joke

5. this absolute masterpiece:

i genuinely think that it's so so valuable to have stories about people that have done horrible things existing. and getting better. and worse. forgiven and resented. seeing their crimes age with them, their weight shifting, shrinking, growing. is it redemption? further corruption? is it just existence?

you lived, now what? is i think one of the more interesting questions we can pose with fiction, and i think it's maybe one of the powerful vehicles for conveying the notion that there is no point at which you stop being a person. the most unforgivable irreparable harms are caused by people making choices. and we will make bad ones and keep making them. you're not immune. no one you love is immune.

and crucially, we don't necessarily build a better world by defining criterion for forgiveness, redemption, punishment, penance. forgiveness is relational and as much about the person who has been harmed as it is about the culprit. punishment's effect is rarely improvement. societally, our ideas of redemption and penance are firmly rooted in legalistic notions of judgement — whether based on human morals or divine — where personhood and worthiness are contingent on ticking off boxes that we could argue endlessly about redefining and relitigating.

if you move the story out of that frame, though, it's not a story about "making it up." its a story about living. it's a story about making choices. it's about reflecting on the ones you've made. it's about their impact on your relationships, your sense of self. and i think that inherently has value.

you're going to fuck up. you're going to do something bad. you're going to hurt someone. you might be forgiven for it. you might carry it with you forever. you'll always be the person who did that, so long as you live. but you're going to live. you have not become a different category of person condemned to non-existence. you still have choices to make. you get to keep making them. that's the point.

I actually really like the term genderqueer, because the only thing it specifies about your gender is that it's queer in some way. Does that mean you're nonbinary? Binary trans? Cis with some freaky cool gender presentation stuff going on? None of those or all of those? It doesn't matter and I think that's beautiful.

my mom asked why i don’t read as many books as i used to and i just said it was because i read a lot of unpublished stories from independent writers online and she thinks that’s very good of me to give undiscovered authors a chance

hahaha
