constant race for updates for updates sake is how you get webp

does #firefish need updating? does #mastodon? what features are we still chasing? can't we consider microblogging a solved issue and move on instead of this high school drama shit

i really need to stop posting here and just go back to my own spaces

nobody will follow me there and i'll be lonely on the last forum and irc on earth while people keep saying they wish forums and irc were still a thing but at least i feel like i'll be arguing with people a lot less

this website is no better than twitter because it's literally the same people doing the same things

the little less transphobia is just a restructuring symptom, the main modus operandi is the same for any microblogging

"wow cool Linux setup you spent countless hours on! By the way here's a completely different distro you should format your computer and start over with also if you ever utter the word Windows to me I'm calling the cops"

the internet has not for a second been a net positive place but i think we really lost the last shred of empathy with microblogging

you know it really is nice when you make a funny meme for giggles on the internet and people flood your notifications about how clearly you must be wrong, i love waking up to that

better

xset -b in xinitrc was all i needed and none of the linux gurus i asked knew about it

another #linux puzzle gripe: i have notifications/x11-bell running through libcanberra by way of module libpipewire-module-x11-bell. the first notification/bell will always play through pc speaker, but second onwards correctly only uses the audio. i want to not unload module pcspkr. what is causing the first occurrence to fumble? "rmmod pcspkr" is the wrong answer.

i wish ripcord had a 32-bit version

is there any decent way to chat on discord on an older machine that doesn't involve clunky bridging into another chatting standard

my favourite type of complaint-disguised-as-feedback on any sort of game or service are the ones that read like someone walking in to their local mcdonalds calling up the manager to lecture them that they're doing their business model a huge disservice by not offering the drivethru cars a free oil change
