Ok computer-touches of the fediverse, I’ve had enough of the Windows fucks and will be installing Debian <soon>. Maybe 20 years has been enough for a viable Linux on the desktop, who knows…

So what window manager are the cool kids using these days? Is Enlightenment still a thing? I want to not have fuck with things

@jpm KDE Plasma is really solid. Its implementation of tiling is superb, should be the model for all implementations.

i need the sequel where all the Olsens have to work together to get Olsen Prime back to his home timeline, but they all try to betray each other and claim that they are Olsen Prime, so none of them succeed. they can even all nuke themselves in a cave, that can still happen.

For a feed intended to amplify reliable news...

@sashin
> a stricter set of requirements than the big ones like social and online, one of which being defederation with Meta

... sounds like a failing, not a feature.

@Daojoan but it will have comments which is the worst possible feature you can have for a news story

Launching my #Monsterdon thread for The Fabulous Journey To the Center of the Earth (1977) aka When Time Began. I'm not totally sure what this movie's title should be, so I'm not going to hash tag it.

However I am excited that this movie might have dinosaurs, caves and bellhops.

@floatybirb@mastodon.social avatar

@blogdiva We should maybe host a conference to settle this; I make up all my bullshit character names in isolation.

@blogdiva What is the name of the one dude in the #Monsterdon movie who had time clones of himself and then exploded?

Whoops accidentally went back to the dawn of cinema. Instead of 1977 the year half of the bad sci-fi movies of all time came out.

strangefour,
@strangefour@retro.pizza avatar

This feels so much like a compliation movie edited from a long running tv show, and yet still nothing happens. It's just so much of nothing happening until the 5 minutes with bones and dinosaur s and a city of clones and a King Kong.

ai6yr,

What in the world from Disney is advertising Bluetooth around here?!?! #Bluetooth

douglasvb,
@douglasvb@mastodon.social avatar

@ai6yr so the app is leaking the Bluetooth from your phone? Interesting. Probably allows your phone to be tracked back to you more easily in public where businesses have those Bluetooth tracking devices setup.

ai6yr,

@douglasvb Not sure... but probably.

You are trying to get out of a pit with your friends, the sides are slippery and there is a guy at the top who sometimes throws things at you and you know he's helping other people to make even more pits that are even deeper someplace else. There is a slim chance he could be replaced by another guy who will start filling all the pits in with a bulldozer. Do you keep the jerk or brave the dozer?

Hard choice. I guess?

@WhiteCatTamer An executive order from a few years ago that doesn't go far enough doesnt change my point.

@gwit @WhiteCatTamer

He's a fucking president not a goddamned absolute monarch ruling by decree.

He can only do what is in his power, and he's been pushing it about to it's limits. The corrupted Supreme Court has already rolled back some the stuff he was trying to accomplish.

One absolute guarantee is a Trump win will ensure all the bullshit discriminatory legislation at the state level with be duplicated at the federal level.

So who's the fucking winner in that scenario?

So there's an award-winning film named Snow In Midsummer that's widely discussed in Taiwan and elsewhere at the moment, it's about Malaysia's 13th May racial riots, an event that my mom experienced firsthand and which is only discussed in hushed tones. Not sure if it'll ever be aired in Malaysia.

@rakyat yeah

He didn't live to see that, but he was there for the election before and I remember there were a lot of tension the day and night of, and the day after... and i do remember hearing that Najib tried to stir violence/chaos (I was already in the U.S. at that time)

The Supreme Court Rules That Cops Can Steal Your Stuff—as They Always Have
By a 6-3 vote, the conservative justices decided that there is no need for the state to provide a preliminary hearing in civil forfeiture cases.😡

When cops decide to help themselves to your property, they can do it without a warrant, without securing a conviction, without even charging you with a crime. 😡

When the government doesn't obey the law,
Then there is no law.

@janisf @Jon_Kramer @maddad I only speak as I do because I spent a very long time thinking about this problem. In the end my conclusion was that it is the way it is because it's just easier to be a piece of s*** shrugs
If you ever find the answer, let us know. Lord knows mankind has spent eons thinking about it.

You make it harder to be a piece of shit, and you make it easier for mothers to raise sons who aren't pieces of shit, and you make it so women don't have to fuck those pieces of shit so more shit doesn't come out the chute.

To give you an idea of the Asian American anger at David Chang for being an asshole who wanted to enforce trademarks on ‘chilli crunch’, I was at my friend’s home in LA looking at his Asian cookbooks when he said, ‘you wanna see some garbage?’ Then he pulled out the Momofuku cookbook and we both laughed and laughed

@skinnylatte the romantic part of me that got into cooking stuff for days sous vide or constantly stocking my freezer with bones (and then stocks) says, “Building a wood grill hmmm.”

Heh, thanks. I have seen a little of Just One Cookbook, I’ll revisit.

skinnylatte,
@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io avatar

@zackstern haha I liked that and did that for a while but frankly just want to go to a good restaurant for it now. It takes so much practice to do well. Yakitori Toriman in Santa Cruz is my fave, ex Rintaro chefs decamped there and do their own thing. If you check IG, sometimes they go to Berkeley too
