re: Reasons why being able to put a theme on your OS is necessary for it to be accessible
@piuvas @Kuniti_shino @researchfairy Oh yeah exactly, I think we had this exact discussion at some point, but themeing should be a user choice, but also it isnt the original dev's issue to deal with unsupported configs, I do generally agree even as a """maintainer""" of an icon pack for linux

~also oh hi piuvas! been a while!~

re: Reasons why being able to put a theme on your OS is necessary for it to be accessible
@Kuniti_shino @researchfairy I havent look at that website for a long while now, but from what I remember, they arent a group of devs against themeing at all though- they want user customisability, they just dont want distributions which package their software to theme them, which i think I find reasonable? Ubuntu forcing its default theme onto all gtk4 apps is bad?

I write this with shaky hands so excited
I finally got this crappy server I have been writing to serialise and create spec compliant gtfs-rt feed!!!! the server is still fucking useless but holy shit it works, its finally working, it took so many weeks of work, and I can't believe I got it to work, but holyshitholyshitholyshit, it finally works!!!!

OOoohh apparently someone fixed the t480 fingerprint driver or something somewhere got fixed because I can use it again (without the hacky ubuntu PPA whoever was maintaining) in the process of figuring out who I hold myself thankful to, I have now found the best Debian team :)

FingerForce Team

out of the way Debian Flash, FingerForce is now my favourite.

Anybody using Porkbun for domains and wants heydudenice.wang transferred to them?

Estimated renewal cost is $6.05 USD, and it otherwise expires on Sept 18th this year.

Photo of a box with writing on it that reads, DO NOT BREAK DOWN 

Caption at the top is ‘I'm trying box. I'm trying’

The classic XKCD dependency stack cartoon, but relabeled. The image shows a huge pile of boxes representing "all modern digital infrastructure" precariously balanced atop each other. A label at the right (ha!) says "A project led by a guy who then turns out to be a fascist" and arrows point to a small box sitting on top of many others. Another label at the right says "Where corporate money goes", with three arrows pointing at the small project led by a guy who then turns out to be a fascist

@platinumtulip AWH I WANT ONE THEYRE SO CUTE

Gadget, a calico cat, curled up on a blanket. Each row of pixels in the image is colored slightly differently and there's random weird blue and yellow lines in some of the rows.

Whoa. @libreoffice unleashes “no AI as a feature” and breaks download records.

“In one week, the installer was downloaded more than 1 million times — not counting updates via Linux distribution repositories.”

Great work, LibreOffice team! 👏🏻

Had to have a conversation about my mother using ChatGPT/LLMs, telling her about all the environmental and legal concerns,

My mother: "Why were they authorised to release it"

I wonder that too mom, I wonder that too :(

Every computer pervert I know is having a bad time right now

@theakashmondal @contrapunctus
`And every time, a citizen of our nation uses and prefers a map that displays those mistakes, a citizen that smears it off and moves on, is one less citizen that we'll have[...]` I read that inherintly as you claiming if one does not accept the Indian claim then they become not a citizen.

I dont plan on replying any further to you, good day.

@theakashmondal @contrapunctus @libreinator
No I do not care to elaborate, please assume.
I for one, and statistically most of us do not live in any of these border regions, mine, and most people's interactions with those parts of the maps are minimal when actually "navigating" ever.
My existence is ruled illegal* by the Indian state in my religion, identity, and my politics, I do not care for what the Indian Parliament thinks.

@disaster2life @contrapunctus @tusharhero thanks, blocked them. and btw fuck indian army

@libreinator @contrapunctus @tusharhero in their own message, they claim anyone who fails to recognise the complete Indian claim is not a Citizen, I guess I need to burn my passport, and forget that this "democratic" country values free thoughts and the ideas of international brotherhood, If I cant stand with Indian Army committed war crimes, then I am less an Indian of course.

Free Jammu and Kashmir from **all oppressors**!

@libreinator @contrapunctus @tusharhero sounds like it, *is* it.

@theakashmondal @contrapunctus "find some middle ground", I hate this issue is still somethinf that riles up nationalists, Both the RoI and IRoP claim ABSOLUTE control of the region, (Minus Pakistan's acknowledgement of Chinese Claims), Line of Actual Control **is** the middle ground between displaying a fully controlled J&K by India, or by Pakistan.

I hope you do not forget, especially here, appeasing to one side (India) leaves out the other (Pakistan).
