679I try to be very careful about CWing things. sometimes I make mistakes but I want to make my posts as safe to read as possible
I sometimes post NSFW/kinky/lewd things behind CWs. this should go without saying but if you're a minor please do not interact with anything lewd/NSFW that I post
I have very limited energy and am very shy so it might take me a long time to reply to messages sometimes, or I might not be able to reply at all. this is kind of an "output only" account for the most part, but I'm hopeful that I can change that over time
I sometimes use curly braces to {clearly show where a grammatical phrase begins and ends}, like that. you can think of them like parenthesis in code or math, except they operate on grammar instead

I was going to post “soft drinks implies the existence of hard drinks” but then I looked it up and yes actually, that is the real etymology of the phrase “soft drinks”:
So called in contrast to strong alcoholic beverages, which are “hard liquors”.

@aburka my experience with Windows is that it doesn’t go into an unrecoverable state on its own. sometimes some small features stop working as the system gets updated (for example the Windows 10 emoji picker stopped working for me earlier this year) which can be kind of annoying but thankfully I’ve never had it seriously break itself
also I can totally understand being frustrated by people blowing a small Linux issue out of proportion like that

To avoid scope creep, start all projects with the largest possible scope.

@aburka it kinda of is lol (as in, it’s about the Arch graphics card thing and that’s also part of my point). I’ve had Arch recommended to me as a beginner multiple times and unfortunately my laptop is currently running Arch and it’s been An Adventure™ trying to keep it running well for any amount of time
it’s totally fine to have a hobby tinkering distro like Arch but:
- either Arch genuinely is the best distro for me as someone who doesn’t want to do sysadmin stuff - in which case fuck Linux in 2025, or
- Arch isn’t, and people need to stop recommending it to non-tinkerers

the Linux community needs to stop blaming individual users for being unable to handle highly technical problems that are suddenly thrown their way by the distro, or by individual packages - especially when those problems require them to go out of their way to gain information from a website that was never presented to them, that then requires them to interpret that information through a lot of cultural knowledge that was also never presented to them, and then use several highly-complex and technical tools in order to fix the problem (which were also never presented to them)
I hope it’s clear why this attitude is directly harmful to the goal of making Linux accessible to everyone

Anthropy
anthropy@mastodon.derg.nzPSA: if you are on Arch (or derivative), and you have an Nvidia 10xx series GPU (like the 1080), you might want to hold off on updates.
https://hackaday.com/2025/12/26/nvidia-drops-pascal-support-on-linux-causing-chaos-on-arch-linux/
basically, nvidia dropped support for the 10xx GPUs because ????? and Arch being Arch just deployed it and goes "ez just chroot into your install and replace it with the AUR version .. and a ton of hacks because Steam requires the official libraries"

you’ll probably like it if you like Pokémon - and you might like it if you like other JRPGs instead

This probably does not need to be said, BUT -
I keep hearing fiction that involves people poking around in abandoned mines without protective equipment. Folks do, indeed, explore abandoned places, and it's worth pointing out to anyone who doesn't know. It's probably best to just not go into old mines and tunnels, for structural reasons, but breathing in the particles in the air is another reason not to do it. You can kick it up by wandering, get it on your clothes, etc ->

michi@wetdry.worldFound one of those ear cleaning sticks with a camera but instead of using it for its intended purpose, it turns out these make great wireless microscopes for electronics repair work. I could probably mount it to my soldering iron as a scope too!

Steam Support do make exceptions and allow you to update your Steam account name (login) for trans/non-binary folks
I originally made a guide about it here 👇
I wanted to share the details here also

kasdeyaI just learned that at least two separate White Knuckle devs are transfemmes and that White Knuckle has a big queer and furry following and I love that game even more now
Playing WHITE KNUCKLE With The LEAD DEVELOPER (But It’s Mainly Yapping Because We Are Too Silly)
CWs: blood, injury, cockroaches, horrific creatures, horror elements (White Knuckle is a horror game)

ironically, in order to argue against fedi CW culture, you need to be in a position of privilege
it's said that CWs "allow privileged people to stay in their comfort zone". this is false, and it's an idea that ignores why CWs exist
CW culture was never meant for them
CWs are a tool for accessibility and self-defense
they are so that people who are not privileged (those of us who suffer oppression, anxiety, trauma) have a minimum of agency to decide HOW and WHEN we expose ourselves to content that can harm us
it's being able to say "today I don't have the mental energy to read about [transphobia/racism/violence]" and still be able to exist online
to complain about this tool, you have to be someone who doesn't need it. you have to have the privilege of not having your mental health affected by seeing that hostility
