I obviously have the same opinion on Snap and AppImage - I don't think either of the two make this any better.

CMV: Flatpak is an overlay Linux distro, except they absolve themselves of all the hard problems with maintaining Linux distros (such as making sure bugs are fixed uniformly across the package set, security vulnerabilities are addressed promptly and tracked, etc.) in favor of saying it's upstream's problem.

(News flash: most upstreams don't care, and they almost all do a pretty terrible job at it. Not surprising, given that they all independently need to reinvent the wheel...)

Enjoying some rain~

Speedpainting for @‌chr@scalie.business !

A little late for #fursuitfriday but it was a lot of fun running around in this at MFF this year.

The head was a quick build I put together in the week before the con.

Annoyed that a website is doing something custom on right-click?
Did you expect the browser's context menu (Back, Reload, Save Page As, View Source etc.)?

Just hold the ⇧Shift key while clicking and Firefox will show the built-in context menu.

What does anti-trans bias in media look like?

It looks like an article about complaints over the mere existence of a transgender character in a TV show that came from less than 0.0001895% of the show’s viewers, needlessly amplifying the bigotry of an infinitesimal number of complainers and granting them unwarranted attention.

Worsened by a headline that treats the number of complaints as significant and worded as though they hold some validity.

Oh lovely. The new Discord update can mistarget image uploads and send them to an unintended recipient.

So if you use Discord for mixed purposes uh... be extremely, extremely wary of that. 🙃

Since The Keighleys, aka The Game Awards are tonight, thought I might promote my article from last year covering some of the more infamous moments.

Still kinda proud of the article tbh asecretarea.com/2022/12/16/low

Without a metro Leeds needs double if not triple the number of buses to cater for the number of commuters to be able to realistically reduce the number of cars on the road.

Though cycling is a great method of personal convenience, a good commuting bike is unfortunately a luxury (in Britain) that is not affordable for some.

The long and short of it is that the entire county of West Yorkshire needs a metro system.

Finally been able to get my words in order re this.

Leeds is currently the largest city in Europe without some form of metro system. It has buses and standard rail. It's current road network was designed to be a "Motorway City".

The roads are packed with vehicles and the buses are packed with people. Some evenings it's impossible to get a bus because of how full they are.

Everything is at capacity. The entire county needs a rapid transit system.
