My minimalist work desktop so far. wmx as my window manager, idesk for all the decorations & static icons, & xcal, xload, xclock, & xbiff as undecorated windows. My load avg peaked above 1.0, & I got new mail while taking screenshots (using xbiff icons I drew today).

Neat accessibility feature (for a11y allies): When attaching things, there's a text box at the bottom where you can describe it for folks with screen readers & anyone who just wants a tooltip before clicking on it.

Good morning, folks. I'm still having a really hard time believing that this is somehow a controversial opinion to have in 2018.

@squirrel I have to wonder what document he mails prospective employers when he goes job hunting.

Hi, I'm still here.

desklaunch works, and my patch works very well, but deskmenu breaks in that menu items in a submenu do nothing when I follow the manpage instructions. I really, really don't want to take over, fix, or even hack-patch the whole oroborus project.

tired: send nudes

wired: send cute hentai

inspired: send cute furry art

@squirrel You are important.

@soft_chomps@glitch.social Hey, I just want to take a moment to thank you for headpats_bot and kemonomimi_bot. Thank you especially for taking the trouble to make them source their posts.

Is there a character limit to uploaded image alt-text in a toot?
