unix manpage venting 

... Why do you go through the trouble of writing documentation fitting perfectly into the help manual system that's been around literally my whole entire life plus a few days, then just landfill it in the docs directory instead?

The most excellent and lamentable tragedy of Flat UI Design, in two acts.

@soft_chomps@glitch.social That is fantastically adorable! 💙

Synchronicity, Cosmic Taunt, Coincidence? 

@Phorm That's a cosmic level taunt, aye. :<

uspol, question 

@kitten He hasn't had the chance to reverse gay marriage by legislation yet, thankfully, but he has been busy nominating & appointing federal judges who have moderately to strongly anti-LGBT predilections.

uspol, question 

@kitten This Vox article sums up pretty well what he actually did or actually attempted to do in 2017 alone: vox.com/identities/2018/1/22/1

Since then, the most notably outrageous of the things he's done or at least attempted are directing HHS to redefine gender to eliminate trans recognition as a concept: nytimes.com/2018/10/21/us/poli - gq.com/story/trump-war-on-tran

And finally convince the only trans celebrity who endorsed him to recognize & admit she was had: washingtonpost.com/opinions/ca

I kept expecting the clip to end with Kermit the Frog exclaiming in the robotic Gorf voice, "Prepare yourself for annihilation, space cadet!" Alas, I don't have a clean sample or the video editing skills.

I went looking to see if anyone made a bad movie based on the arcade game Gorf, & I found something better: youtu.be/fKNJLeVncug

re: dysphoria 

@monorail @izaliamae@sergal.org It takes a bit of confidence and practice before it becomes second nature. (I have the same problem & have been shaving in the shower for years.)

I don't follow or boost image bots that don't source (bonus: and credit) the images they post, and neither should you.

when I have to stop & look whether it's the yuri bot or catgirl bot that posted the cute girls with cute girls, it's a good day.

@climagic another great part of documentation is this section in the xorg.conf manpage.

Still looking for easy LML choices ( ~+ ) 

... Is some of the delay from python 3 itself?

Consecutive runs on the same source file with rst2html from py27-docutils:

txt2tags is much simpler in structure while still being complete enough for my needs. Also, I don't have to provide a dummy template to get just an (X)HTML fragment out of it. Best of all, its only dependency is python.

But it has 2 drawbacks: I can't specify image attributes like dimensions, which means the page could shift while loading; & it depends on python 2, not python 3.
