Yeah, it’s a bit at odds with their “free from corporate influence” angle. Absolutely no reason to not use Matrix.
Hello there!
I’m also @savvywolf@furry.engineer , and I have a website at https://www.savagewolf.org .

Yeah, it’s a bit at odds with their “free from corporate influence” angle. Absolutely no reason to not use Matrix.
Oooh, I get to say an “Umm… Actually” fact. File names are not case sensitive in Linux nor are they case insensitive in Windows.
It’s entirely possible to have a case insensitive filesystem on Linux (I think ext4 supports a mount option for it now). Likewise, there’s a bit you can set on folders in Windows that makes its contents case sensitive. So realistically, case sensitivity is a property of the folder, not the OS.
Yes, that’s as annoying as it sounds.
Tabaxi.
I think the onboarding and new user experience for Mint could be better, but I think there’s one important thing that I think makes Mint a good intro distro: Its Ubuntu base.
If you look up guides for “linux” it usually gives instructions for Ubuntu, which usually also apply to Mint. Likewise, if you look for software downloads you tend to find Ubuntu debs.
I know flatpak fixes these issues to an extent, but I think we’re not there yet.
I like flatpaks and flathub, but this is just something they do badly. I think as well they also have “probably safe” which is just as unhelpful… And what does “access certain files and folders” even mean!?
I think they should just follow the example of every other app store; list the permissions in an easily understandable list and let the user decide whether or not they are comfortable with it.
… I mean, you can actually probably go without a computer entirely for a month.
So aside for a few wording and technical issues, something stuck out to me. Using “special” to refer to neurodivergence is a bit problematic and potentially dogwhistley because of the historical contexts it’s been used in to dismiss and look down on people. And even if it wasn’t, it’s a bit ambiguous; can someone who feels that they are in touch with their “spiritual side” consider themselves to have a “special brain”?
If you’re wondering about neurodivergence, probably better to just ask “Are you neurodivergent?” rather than using euphemisms.
It’s either get the addons removed, or get the whole addon store itself blocked. You can just install the extension from an xpi file.
Mozilla really isn’t in a position to fight the Russian government over this and win.
There’s also https://e926.net/ , which automatically filters out the adult stuff.
Steam probably.
That’ll be from the human half of the half ling.
Don’t humans have the ability to fuck everything? It’s why half elves and half orcs exist, but no non-human hybrids.
With, without or intentionally vague for comedic purposes?
It was meant to be a spoof on how everyone has different opinions on the difference on what INT and WIS are, as well as a meta-commentary on the difference between INT and WIS (arguing a set of semantics on a webcomic where the joke wouldn’t make sense under your rules is a high-INT, low-WIS action, IMO).
Okay, sorry about that. I was making a joke about things and yeah, it didn’t read as well as I thought it would in my head.

Uhm, actually recalling and learning from personal experience is WIS and not INT.

Really now, it’s this misconception that is really hurting the game. I will now go on a rant about how my interpretation of the stats is correct despite it being fairly ambiguous and confusing.
Kinda tempted to run a dungeon that is the crypt of some famous illusionist or whatever. It’d be mostly empty rooms, but I’d constantly say things like this and maybe have them roll pointless checks now and then.
Or maybe do the fun thing of handing each player a note saying “you are not a mimic”.
A lot of this has probably been said already, but I want to point out that restrictions breed creativity.
This is a magic fantasty world, how would your character deal with their differences? What coping mechanisms would they develop? Would a blind character develop some alternative to vision? Would a physically disabled character find some other way to navigate the world?
I see people asking “why would disability exist in a world with magical healing” as a way to dismiss the entire concept. I feel that engaging with the question, and trying to answer, it leads to more interesting characters.
Toph from Avatar is an example of following these restrictions. Would her character and abilities even exist if the writers didn’t sit down and wonder how a blind character would work in their universe?
I like being in control of my computer.
Windows and Android have this attitude where they decide how you want to use your device and block customisation. And the fact that they feel entitled to be able to change how your device looks and feels without warning or permission is something that’s deeply uncomfortable to me. There’s also this feeling of not knowing what my device is actually doing, and how much of my data it is actually collecting.
With Windows, there’s also a lot of small papercuts that make it annoying to use (and that my Windows friends don’t seem to understand):
… Whew I ranted for a while there, didn’t I? Yeah, I dual boot Windows for the games that either don’t run under protonwine or the devs want to add a rootkit to.
