  • That is an enormous yikes. Thank you for taking the time to write an explainer, I appreciate it!

  • It feels like the fact that she might be getting a pardon suggests she may have leverage over Trump

  • Ah, I usually just write "crosspost" in the title or body somewhere, that way people know to look for the original thread if they want more context

  • I'm tempted to say fishing cause I looove the fishing mini game, but it might wear pretty thin if it's all I could really do

  • I do not understand how blender can keep getting away with scope creep that would have long since killed any other project lol

    Its honestly incredible, blender is rad

  • Huh.. I cross post stuff regularly just to try and help spread where people can see stuff given how small the fediverse is, I hadn't considered someone might find it annoying if I regularly cross-posted their submissions

  • I mean the no kings protests were absolutely massive, but if you didn't happen to go out that day you may not have seen them

    I wish there was more, but people are protesting, but generally it can only be but so big, but so regularly 🤷‍♂️

    I do wish there was more though.

  • There's a mastodon artist I follow who hand paints queer erotica in guache- she's been loosing her mind trying to find any way to monetize her work for a while now

    I think the payment processors were happy to have an excuse to deny handling these transactions. She's been having trouble since long before this current situation, and making it impossible for her to financially provide for herself sure as fuck isn't good for anyone except puritanical queerphobic shitheads :(

  • That looks tasty as fuck

  • I can't decide if I'm angry at this. I 1000% should be... But coleslaw is pretty tasty...

  • That was an absolutely wonderful read, thank you so much for sharing

  • Hope you have a lovely day 😊

  • This is incredible work, thank you for making a writeup for everyone! 😊

  • Thats an interesting idea. That contrasts against how I'd kind of thought of it as being similar to the internal toxicity and infighting of the political left

    Some of the toxic patterns kind of remind me of purity testing and the same attacking people for being "one of the bad guys" when there isn't truly good reasons tho think they are

    I appreciate another perspective to consider, thank you for sharing your thoughts

  • Unfortunately I really don't think they are. Maybe it's a small part of it, but it feels like there are a lot of similar social issues that follow the same pattern

    I feel like it's tempting to just tell ourselves it's an outside evil, but I don't think that helps us do anything about the problem

  • Adorable 😊

  • What could cause the captain of such a well-received vessel abandon the helm and move ashore so soon after launch?

    The answer, alas, is a familiar one: people.

    “Recently, I had an unpleasant experience […] where I was accused of distributing malware. Although I explained that the issue wasn’t caused by the app, the conversation escalated into personal attacks and harsh words directed at me.”

    For a space fundamentally built on collaboration and a more pro social approach to building things together, it's very frustrating how common anti-social, antagonistic behavior is in open source, free license spaces.

    To me it feels like a real and significant hinderance to FOSS, and I really hope we can collectively develop more awareness about this issue so we can hopefully address it :/
