I think I'll try #knitting this sweater from #AdamAronowitz and #HiromiGlover.
It has a lot of features I like, it's a simple, strong design with interesting features, and it looks like it would be easy to adjust the fit if I need to.
It's been a long time since I attempted to knit any kind of sweater. I've never made one that I was really happy with. It's a significant commitment of time, and usually better-quality yarn, and it sucks to end up with a garment that o never actually wear.
I can't say that I *believe* I'll end up with a garment that I love this time. But I'm willing to believe that it's *possible*.

I just read a Reddit post that @puppygirlhornypost2 linked to.
It's quite the disaster of clueless, cis privileged, trans-antagonistic fuckery.
Allow me to explain...

@laxla well, regarding replies, I mostly just don't understand the logic. I understand wanting to remove someone's hostile, rude, or just plain misinformation reply. However, psychics don't exist so limiting to replies to only people that follow you, while the post is still publicly visible, doesn't really make sense cause there could be rude people following that reply and you don't know what someone will say before they say it.🤷♂️
Regarding the stats, they were falsifying stats to fedidb.org which is rude and hostile for no reason other than being rude and hostile. They could simply report null stats if they wanted to.
It just seems like they want a closed platform and are shooting themselves in the foot and complaining about the pain by using ActivityPub in their software.🤷♂️
@BeAware What I settled on is two accounts - one here (still my main one) which is duplicated over to BlueSky, and one that's ACTUALLY on BlueSky.
The one on BlueSky is basically a carnival barker - it lets me follow people who aren't on here and gives me a direct way to (repeatedly) advocate to them that they should at least follow my shadow account, that way they can see the sort of nonsense I'm up to.
It's dumb, but it does work.
If you're using 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS with Wayland, or any other Debian + KDE + Wayland on aarch64 (arm64) architecture, I've finally found a GUI screenshot application that actually works as it's supposed to.
It's ksnip and it's in repo and on flathub.
sudo apt install ksnip
@WarnerCrocker I just did watch, even though I keep seeing it and never got to.
It didn't make a dent. It was great, others can benefit, but he won't.
