@colin and if you have celiac disease it can cause you pain!!!! COINCIDENCE??
@jk cursed idea: Linux Where Everything Is Statically Linked So It Doesn't Matter
@jk it's really wild to me that the 90s Linux desktops looked so much more interesting and appealing and configurable and since then they have thrown away all that good will and trying to recapture any of that is a massive pain of setting up uncommon and often gotta-compile-it-yourself packages
"stop using corporate software!" says group of people desperately trying to make their software designed exactly like the corporate software

this thing happens really often, but the latest one that happened to me this week was with desktop icons. after an update, the selection rectangle around them looks weird and different, and the icons are the wrong size, they're clipped so you can't see the icon fully or read the label. haven't attempted to fix it, will probably take at least an hour. it makes me feel like the computer isn't really mine. it belongs to a bunch of nerds who keep making weird mistakes. a kind of clumsy nerd cabal
@jk this update brings you a new customisation option to change the spacing between icons on your desktop but don't worry the next update will bring desktop icons that can be placed anywhere and remove the option to have them spaced a certain amount at all

a big reason i use linux is because it gives me Control over the computer. no windows dark pattern spying shit. i can set up everything to look and function exactly how i want. but every couple months there's a package update that overrides or changes something so it no longer works how i configured it. they just reached in and broke something i worked hard on. and i have no choice in this, because you need to eventually update packages to install new ones. i don't really feel in Control at all
it's frankly transphobic that they cancelled lower decks

@MLE_online if you need an interactive way of rendering pictures down to black and white (or any other limited palette) may i shamelessly plug #ditherinator
@hazel might not be super lesser known but certainly the runt of the lucasarts litter, i cannot recommend The Dig (1995) enough

what are some good lesser-known point and click adventures?
can we go back to the time when juicero was the biggest thing in the news
it's honestly transphobic nobody sent me a nissin mystery meat box from japan while they were still on sale
do not tell others that it's ok to ask for help if you're unwilling to be that help #FediTips
ok #ditherinator (still 0.4 no version change) should now have a polyfill that takes care of rendering issues in #safari that caused the pre-process sliders to not affect the image
#chrome still isn't, and will not be, supported

@madewokherd the tickets will continue until morale improves
i've just been alerted that if you're not using #firefox then there's a good chance that #ditherinator never fully worked correctly for you lol
it's 2025 and i'm still begging people to use "smooth" instead of "sharp" antialiasing on text being rendered at any angle other than 0 and 90 degrees
