seriously, though, shit like that is just *pathetic*, and explains all too well why the linux desktop never happened. the combination of two dogmatic positions and zero fucks about anyone else
windows has users. linux has victims.

uk pol, eu pol, how to steal an election
this goes way beyond "admin errors", and all the way into electoral fraud. systematically seeking to deny a significant selection of the electorate in the UK their right to vote can't be seen as anything else.
it's also a violation of the human rights of every participant denied a vote, and i hope they all sue.
in sequence.

Hey, folks.
So, I am currently unemployed (again) and in the middle of a second emergency move since the beginning of the year. I'm also broke and still dealing with my violent, stalkery soon-to-be ex husband.
If anyone can help me out with storage and transportation expenses I would be forever grateful.

I saw a deer outside the building at work today. I think that's the first time I ever saw a deer in real life.

write your autistic characters or headcanons as having social knowledge their allistic friends don't. if they're the Autistic-Coded Designated Weirdo in a pack of normies, they're probably into a bunch of weird shit the normies haven't heard of and have a huge headstart on the normies as concerns, oh, I dunno, kink boundary navigation or how to be polyamorous or navigating someone's unfamiliar pronouns/lack thereof

food, cooking (+)
Made my first guacamole! (Shown with sour cream and salsa, for eating with chips.)
Decided to go with the ultimate in simple recipes: look the dish up on Wikipedia and make something that qualifies by their definition. 😛 I didn't have any source of lime juice, but there was an ancient unopened bottle of lemon juice and it still seemed safe for human consumption, so I used that for citrus instead. Otherwise, it's just avocado, salt, and spices.

every shape is a triangle if you think about it wrong
our "stochastic scheduling" idea needs a hell of work
bleh I'd need some spare stuff to get it set up most easily. I'll have to get that some other time

Does anyone know a good forum based art community since conceptart.org and crimsondagger became literal ghost towns? I hate social media with a passion because it's very impersonal and people use it just to promote themselves instead of helping each other.
I miss the old Internet.
Also, goodbye to YTMND.
eh...suppose I could set myself the task of figuring out how to self-host...I've got this shitty little Dell box that I've been meaning to do something with
tell me about Plume, folks...I'm assuming that trying to figure out how to self-host it will be like pushing my muzzle into a desk fan
there are "instances" already existing right?
eh, there's other things that can be done
maybe looking into ActivityPub blogging shit. Kara has been maybe sloppy in using Mastodon basically like a blog. all those massive threads of hirs, who reads that shit
bleh my mind's not on programming. Kara I blame you
multiple monitor handling must still be reported as "woeful"
Kara despises Linux and there's good reasons, but if you wanna hack away at a crappy little program there's nothing better. it _shouldn't_ be more tricky on Windows but it always is
