Why non-techies don't use FLOSS alternatives 

I decided to download Scribus as a FLOSS alternative to InDesign or Publisher.

I opened it and was told I need to download GhostScript and it directed me to a site which redirected me to a GitHub releases page

Which had about ten different release versions with shorthand filenames making it very difficult to find the right version. The documentation for Scribus was outdated and gave no help

First one I tried told me to install using Command Line

didn't work

LB: oh no it's now smooch'o'clock

anyone could smooch this lizard~

(reposted because I accidentally posted this to the fediverse and nooooo not that kind of anyone)

how to be friends with me: accept that I won't even thinly veil that I wanna smooch you but that I'll completely respect your wishes on the matter all the same

How the fuck could you just ignore that she was Trans.

How can you say your deceased child's deadnaming without even a hint of guilt.

How can you erase the last 7 fucking years of her life
