maple "mavica" syrup [6502] @mavica_again@computerfairi.es

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.

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

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

Hobie looks good in black and white thanks to @mavica_again
