@solidsanek @epsi Nice. I need this myself. :3

I see people saying that the “majority of Americans preferred this.” The only silver lining to this election is we know that lower voter turnout combined with more mixed mail-in ballot voting is what caused this. Like okay that is its own disappointment for some (not really for me because to me that is just how the system is designed to work but that’s a whole other discussion). But it at least tells us the Orange Cheeto does not necessarily have a strong endorsement in the general populace. Don’t get me wrong, I am critical of the US enough to know US culture had something to do with the results here, as my previous posts attest, but I think the fact that your neighbor was probably either too apathetic, burnt out, amnesiac, checked out or busy to vote means the mandate is not indicative of the public as a whole. Winning the popular vote does not necessarily mean being popular with most Americans. That would be the case of voting was something people were legally required to do.

@lunarised On the whole grains grindset.

Good morning fedi! :blobcatMorning:

@puniko just woke up. gonna see what I can get done. dreading working tomorrow. lol

@puniko how are nyou doing?

Good morning fedi! :blobcatMorning:

imagine ur a 9-13 yr old boy or someone that's interpolated as one by society, and you have access to the internet and you're constantly hearing about war of the sexes bullshit like "all men are x." u think it matters that you have all this feminist theory context around it? yeah, I'm sure lil' "Timmy" (if that is indeed whom they are) was reading feminist theory in the womb and is all caught up on how to contextualize the shit "he" hears.

I grew up with my grandma bashing men all the time around me since I was little and presumably seen as a boy. its clear to me what people were implicitly saying by bashing men as a whole right in front of me, while telling me its who I am and will be: you're going to grow up to be a terrible person. It's why while I'm not going to stop ya, as, being an adult, I have more context to understand where that comes from and know it says more about the person saying it and their experiences than it does about me (and also I have the new benefit in *not living under that signifier in certain spaces*), I am definitely gonna ignore and not engage in it. if you're hoping to bond with me by pulling the war of the sexes bs, outside of saying something legitimately funny or insightful, it's not gonna happen. I'm gonna sit there and stare at you the same way I'd stare at somebody making an awkward racial joke that doesn't land, and move on to more important conversations like why you keep centering men when trying to be a "girl's girl."

Done with meal planning my lunch for the rest of the week, if my two batches of pasta even last that long. Hopefully they do!

I still remember when people would complain about "fragmentation" in the Android market as a "problem." I mean, maybe it was in similar ways to how having a gajillion Linux distros as options can be a "problem" for a regular user. But honestly, since the beginning I have hated this complaint because guess what. Android is now "less fragmented" but that has only made it easier in the long-run for anti-consumer decisions to be made. This is a trade-off in my mind and I'd rather alienate regular users than make it easier for business to enforce a monopoly or oligopology on the firmware market. If a user prefers the opposite, they can go somewhere else. I say this as someone who now owns an iPhone btw. I just don't believe everything needs to always cater to everyone. I do think we should improve accessibility more generally, but to me that is a separate consideration from "streamlining" people's consumption or consumer choices.

Good morning fedi! :blobcatMorning:

I've yet to find somebody that knows the band Cake from the 2000s. I thought they were bigger?

Cinnamon desktop and XFCE are tbh my fav linux DEs.
