for anyone with a phone supporting qi2, a magnetic power bank is super handy

semi-relevant to the joke, but for anyone who actually does want a rust based launcher there’s anyrun which works great on my systems

when the image gets blocked does it block the alt text too? i can add it to the post body if you’re not able to see if without the image being there, but that seems a little counter to the point of alt text lol

i had the same problem with all these “-moe” communities, and found out piefed has a great solution. from the web ui you can add a filter, and block any community with the word moe in one go rather than playing whack a mole every time a new one pops up or blocking a whole instance full of people

hard agree about humanizing this piece of shit in general, but the original (afaik) this picture is riffing off is of this kid showing this to adolf hitler. in that context i think this is really funny, at least for people who’ve seen the other version

keychron k series spotted in the wild, nice

Rhino by Solander, for me - it’s a very understated song but the slow build never fails to pick me up

Oh shit didn’t even look at the name till now, thanks

My fav replacement for this one is “feed two birds with one scone”, I don’t remember where I heard it but it always makes me smile

(Don’t feed bread to birds tho lol)

I’ve been listening to every one of their songs for years but somehow never knew what they looked like or sounded like talking until now lmao

That’s super cool that you at least got such a unique video if you couldn’t make it to the concert, your friend sounds awesome

Idk, rawnald gregory erickson the second goes hard as a road trip song imo

They’re such a good band, def also a favourite of mine

AI generated pictures and a QR code with a referral link… sure looks like spam to me

Two songs come to mind for me off the same album (therapy, by radical face):
Dead ends:

There ain’t no fixing this, but I like that you tried 
Sometimes the hardest part is being right 
There ain’t no helping me, but I like that you lied 
Sometimes it’s worth the burn marks to feel the light

There’s two versions of this album, a regular one and an “alternate reality” one with the same lyrics but a bit more uplifting of a take on them. The regular version of this verse is fucking crushing, I love it so much

Hard of hearing:

Another evening spent 
In the corners of my brain 
Where I wander off into the dark 
And I close my eyes and hope 
The wolves won’t follow me 
But hope’s hard of hearing 
So I’m waiting for the teeth

I had to learn that the helping hand 
Can be the same that holds the knife 
I know I’m not well but I’m alright 
You gotta learn how to take your hits 
When your hands are always tied 
I know I’m not well but I’m alright

This one I think I prefer the alternate reality version, it’s just the perfect melancholy song

Ohh I thought it was another post and all three had done the same thing here, damn

Just commenting to point out that all three of those people have commented and then deleted their comments on this post too 😂

I’ve never been overly interested in fluxer, cuz matrix is much better than discord imo so I’m very happy with that, but polyproto is by far my fav federation protocol so this is super exciting anyway

Structurally our societies are usually oriented around people finding romantic life partners, and the state recognizes and makes life easier for people in these relationships. Modern life, especially with the current housing shit going on in North America, is much harder if your preferred way to live is a single income person living alone. This definitely disadvantages aro/ace people, though I’m not sure I’d call it discrimination.

Tangentially related, but I can’t miss an opportunity to bring up Elizabeth Brake’s really interesting paper, Minimizing Marriage. If the whole thing looks a little long I’d recommend reading at least chapter 7 to get the heart of her proposal, it’s a real eye opener.

Not overly related to your question, but for #3 you should put your template .desktop file into the ~/Templates folder (create it if it doesn’t exist) and then you can make new ones with the right click -> Create New submenu in your file manager

This works for anything btw, not specific to .desktop files

Not like I was going to burger king anyway but this is a solid reason not to

When entering a closed space other people are exiting (elevator, bus, train, etc) you can just… wait till they’re out. It’s that easy, nobody’s actually forcing you to cram the inside full to double capacity for a bit!

This is apparently new information to a significant amount of people around me
