i get especially irritated at the shitposters who write deliberately misleading stuff there.
do not do that. it's not funny and you are setting a bad example to users who don't yet know the accessibility norms.

it's nice that more and more artists are writing image descriptions, but often they are very vague and aren't actually _alt_ text. like, they aren't viable alternatives to viewing the image.
eg.: "fanart of <character>" is not really telling anything. what style are they drawn in? what is the picture trying to communicate? how are they dressed? facial expression? etc.
iq/pol shitpost
An online IQ test just told me my IQ is 138, so I guess I'm a genius and have no choice but to become an """""an""cap""" who spends their time posting pro-fascist talking point online and ""trolling"" leftists with points that have been refuted a thousand times just to prove how smart I am.

tech thoughts
I think this is one thing I'm kinda always conflicted about, like I want to make things that make the world a better place and can be used to enrich people's lives but I always worry that unless I'm doing something completely meaningless then there's a chance that whatever I make gets used for evil
The standard foss line is "let users use software for any purpose" and I just don't believe that's a good approach to take
As for Qubes, as much as I love the concept, it's just not right for me right now. I could see myself using it on, say, a work laptop, but for my primary machine, it just doesn't do what I want a primary OS to do.
Seriously, I opened up Pale Moon and was literally still logged in to everything. I reinstalled steam and it opened up as if nothing happened. I knew dot files did a lot but damn. I expected to have to do a lot of setting stuff back up.
A good reminder I should probably go wipe that external hard drive all that stuff was backed up to
So, as a quick update, it turns out Qubes wasn't all I expected or wanted it to be. For instance, while I could *in theory* do gaming, in practice it'd be very difficult. The Windows VM idea? Yeah, hope you like gaming sans audio. And there's a lot of inconveniences associated (e.g. interVM file copy/clipboard). So, I've gone back to Arch. On the bright side, going back was actually easier than expected. Turns out copying all the dot files backs restored everything as it was.
On the bright side, once we finish getting that room clean and get my bed moved in there, I'll be able to sleep in a cold room again, so, you know, worth it.
I just spent the past couple of hours cleaning up a moldy AC unit. How have y'all's days been?

otherkin thoughts
I've been hesitant to refer to myself as a kitsune or as kitsune-kin, partially because I wasn't sure I really was a kitsune and partially because of concerns about kitsune being a Japanese thing. But, the more I think about it, maybe I am a kitsune? I'm still not sure if this works, culturally speaking (do kitsune have to be Japanese and is there a different term for non-japanese—particularly white—kitsune?), but conceptually, I think I might be a kitsune, not just a foxgirl

And, to clarify, Arch isn't a trivial install. If you can't do it, there's nothing wrong with that. Just because I helped a friend who was uncomfortable with the command line get a working Arch system doesn't mean everyone can just install it. I've done this many times. I'm used to it by now. So when I say "it's not that hard to install," I mean that it's not that hard *for me*.
