"Once you know that your wild gesticulation is harming people (even if you’ve been raised to believe that it’s your god-given right to gesticulate as wildly as your heart desires without any thought of consequences), you can no longer claim it’s an accident when somebody gets hit."

@XOrgDevConf ALL SOFTWARE DEV TALKS SHOULD HAVE PARTICIPANTS DRESS LIKE THIS

all web browsers should be open source.
there's no good reason to lock your code down.
the way you browse the web should be open and inspectable, just like how the web was designed to be.

one totally objective reason why #kde is better:

the project has TWO fursonas

#plasma #linux #desktopLinux #katie #konqi #kde6 #fursona #mascot #furry

if the fact that they're making sitting on ledges illegal or impossible to stop homeless people from sitting or sleeping on them hasn't radicalized you you should wake the fuck up, frankly

i miss developers calling their software companies after themselves like "bobsoft". now it's like "pulsemode" or some combination of nouns. where did we go wrong

i feel like folks are forgetting that racial/ethnic minority groups can be transphobic and trans folks can be racist because of how we all exist in this racist, transphobic world

the infighting is the point, by the way. they want us to fight.

by signing up to the #fediverse you get access to a bunch of animals that will give you unsolicited open source software advice

i remember one time at best buy some dude upsold my parents a copy of #microsoft office because i mentioned that we could just run #libreoffice for free (it wasn't that great back then, to be fair).

but i'll always remember the wording he used. that office wasn't "made by some dude in his basement", so it was inherently better.

you know what? i'm some dude in my basement. i trust other dudes in their basements. we're all dudes in our basements. you, reading this. you're a chill entity in a basement, probably. i'd rather use #opensource basementware than corporate garbageware.

new beauty and the beast would've been cooler if there were two beasts at the end just sayin

been reviewing people's code test submissions for hiring at my job and wow some folks will really just type anything into a computer and think that'll get them a job huh

like bro did this even run locally? did you even check your code? come on

fuck. #BaldursGate3 is playable on deck, which means it runs pretty decently on linux ootb. (i have a #linux #gaming pc.)

fuck.

[wallet trembles] FUCK
