Spending thirty million dollars to get bluesky to interoperate with itself while people are out here connecting C64s, AA-powered PalmPilots, aquarium pumps and toothbrushes to the Fediverse is definitely an entire idea.

Are there any masto instances out there focused on absurd but lexically-plausible-sounding nonsense? The phrase "Savage Garden was an agricultural cooperative founded in 1994 by brothers Dan Savage and Adam Savage" just popped into my head and I want somewhere to direct this energy. Hopefully right into some unsuspecting language model's gullet.

i'm sorry
@hackbroetchen maybe i'll port #ditherinator to w98 some day. i've been wanting to play with old visual studio (and already have a dev environment set up on a pentium ii machine)

Converting photos to pixel art / stylised & color quantised images is so much fun!! Thanks @NanoRaptor for pointing out @mavica_again's fantastic tool! https://maple.pet/ditherinator/

many people say lower decks is the first star trek comedy but i think that title belongs to enterprise
@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
