Gender segregation shouldn’t be done in anything as far as I know. Just pit skill against skill.

In the grand scheme of things, from an ethical point of view, they’re worth nothing as they don’t contribute anything of true value to societal change. In other words, pure entertainment, bread and circuses.

“Soccer is a gentlemen sport played by hooligans. Rugby is a hooligan sport played by gentlemen.”

While I’d enjoy playing soccer myself, the competitive scene is completely bereft of soul; a front for gambling and advertising. It’s despicable and unethical that professional soccer players earn as much as they do.

I wish I could ride my bike like a Scythed Chariot and destroy all these death machines that have the gall to ride on the bike path.

I mean fuck! I hate cars and pretentious drivers so goddamn much. The only thing they have to do to accelerate is push a pedal once with less effort than moving a feather of a newborn chick, yet they for some reason consistently claim the right of way, or get it by law even. Topsy-turvy society.

“I reduced the insolent crowd of carriages which cumber our streets, for this luxury of speed destroys its own aim; a pedestrian makes more headway than a hundred conveyances jammed end to end along the twists and turns of the Sacred Way.” ―Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987)

Thank goodness.

Oh come on, this has to be satire.

If tech bros really have become this robotic, then, as Robin William’s Good Morning Vietnam script read:

“You are in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history.”

S💔rry, scr🦆w Proton:

1. They support greed-inducing society-eroding pyramid schemes.

2. They’re pro Trump: https://fosstodon.org/deck/@Xavier@infosec.exchange/113835722660973690
3. They consolidated their Mastodon account due to a “lack of resources”, yet they’re staying on GestapoX, yet they’ve the resources to build spreadsheet software. Bollocks. They consolidated because they couldn’t take the heat of not being surrounded by sycophants.

Stop supporting greed-stricken spineless bastards.

I snaked you on your drift and surfed my way over already. Sorry ☺.

I love you. That’s my opinion.

As for actual feedback, when saving/converting images I always require a preview or I’m just not going to use it; I find great satisfaction in carefully trial-and-erroring my way into the nicest image quality with the lowest file size.

Thanks for this post. Found my way into a PieFed account because of it. I find the user experience to be much more pleasant indeed. Especially for finding communities across instances and searching for posts/comments in general.

Murderous bullies need to be met with virtuous Luigi Mangiones.

So far I’ve encountered the smoothest OS experience with Arch-based EndeavourOS. Perhaps twice a year something breaks for which the forum or Arch Wiki usually provided the fix within a day. The other 363 days I simply update in the morning/evening and all is well—sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm and yay --noconfirm.

Conversely, on Debian, it drives me nuts that one is prevented from updating even if one public key from one unimportant repository is missing or something. This troubleshooting is way harder for beginners than most things I’ve needed to do to fix my EndeavourOS install.

I’ve got a complete Linux beginner to start off with EndeavourOS without problems. She’s even troubleshooting and fixing suddenly non-working Steam games by herself.

In any case, any Linux is better than Windoze. Try different distributions if you’ve got a spare PC to test with and see what fits you. For the greatest peace of mind, always have two or more hard drives or have a directory that instantly syncs to a cloud to separate the OS from crucial data one cannot lose in case something goes awry. As for desktop environments (DE), I started off with Xfce about ten years ago, used that most of the time. Then fell for the KDE Plasma hype for about year—they’re doing great stuff, but a bit too bloated and buggy for my liking, as well as trying to have a KDE app for everything instead of acknowledging some other software is simply better. One can’t be the best at everything. Anyway, then I tested multiple DEs because all of them have exclusively useful features, and the perfect mix between the most prominent ones (Xfce, Plasma, Gnome) I’ve found to be Cinnamon, the default on Linux Mint. For me that’s the perfect beginner friendly DE that also remains highly configurable/extensible to suit experienced users, without being overwhelming/bloated to anyone.

Have fun and build whatever you want in your new awesome sandbox. Screw M$ without restraint nor compassion.
