half the reason to use linux

i feel like this just keeps happening in the open source space, people go “Oh this is bloat, get rid of the bloat” and ardently insist that actually it’s better to use a bare TTY, despite that just… obviously being hilariously dumb?

so hobbits turned into gnomes and duendes? yeah honestly that tracks

F in chat for the dwarves 😔

last i checked elves were very explicitly doomed to fade away as magic left middle earth, and what with it canonially being our reality in the past and us now having 8+ billion humans alive, how many elves were there at the last point in time depicted in the books? It feels pretty safe to say we outnumber them now, at least.

Also makes me wonder what’s supposed to have happened to dwarves, i think hobbits just interbred with humans until everything kinda evened out but did dwarves do that too? must have been a bloody slow process considering… everything about them…

so don’t run the full model, condensed models are still fine

or are we really going to act like children who want their new shiny toy and won’t accept anything less?

you can also, like, run it locally which will send precisely jackshit to anyone else

oh for sure, it’s not like socialist and green parties are actively fighting this shit, nope.

a banner for the website as a whole is the obvious choice imo

“nay lass, i need a hair from your cochlea”
“… my what?”
“what”

you can actually gain energy while moving upwind, it’s counterintuitive but the existence of tacking in sailing (doing a zig-zag upwind) makes it a bit easier to internalize for me.

you can gain energy while moving upwind, it makes more sense if you think about how boats can do a zig-zag to sail upwind (tacking).

you have access to the reddit database? because i don’t see how you can actually be sure otherwise…

synapse is notoriously dogshit because they’ve ended up needing to constantly focus on developing it rather than finish getting dendrite (the actually optimized server software) feature-complete so it can take over as the reference implementation.

like, jesus christ, synapse is written in python! entirely unsurprising it has terrible performance.

yeah, no shit, it’s decentralized.

If you don’t want that metadata visible then host your own server and require your organization to use only that server, there are settings specifically to enforce this use-case.

the french government uses matrix for communications, it’s fine.

which for most people should just start as “don’t publish every detail of your life online, don’t publish photos and videos of other people online, and DON’T FUCKING PUT YOUR KIDS ONLINE AAAAAAAAAA”

words can change meaning, i don’t see how it’s productive to be super restrictive with what you qualify as trans, so long as it fits the general bill of “wanting to change how you present because society assigned you the incorrect identity”.

But then again i am a gender abolitionist so i’m a bit biased.
