Ubuntu. Gnome. Wayland. Gotta be safe, wouldn't want to take responsibility for one's own actions on their own computers.

Seriously. I just figured out how to force Ubuntu 26.04 to disable every single damn animation in the system, and that's by INSTALLING LINUX MINT.

NOTE: Enabling "reduce animation" is not what I mean, and whoever made that decision in Gnome/Ubuntu.Name_The_Distro is a tool, and not bright. Macos can bite me too.

Idgaf about your research into user interactions.

You know, I think I'm about sick and tired of "western civilization" and everything it entails. You ever get the feeling as though you've been fed a line of bullshit all your life? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about here.

@Yehuda sickening, but it never ceases to get worse with these people. So, essentially, we're looking at a white supremacist movement whose two most prominent ideologues are Andrew Jackson and, Jeffrey Epstein. They feel emboldened to assault children, despoil the land and further entrench their ideals, as though they are trying to insinuate themselves into the very fabric of the land. And I almost forgot about his idiotic "Mount Rushmore" wishes. It should come down entirely.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@x_minus_t/116958088084979492 Gee, I wonder what the common factor is, could it be a certain religion that has always destroyed families, seperated children from parents, and then abused them. It is high time for every church, every single religious institutional building in the USA to be taxed, to the hilt. And honestly, children should not be in church in the first place. #TaxAllChurches #ChildrenInChurchIsIndoctrination

@econetwork@mas.to I definitely agree with you! These are tough questions for a lot of people, but it would need to be an entire change of heart in the West. With the growing population of the world, and less land available for individual farming, it's going to be a necessity in the near future of humanity. The world needs to change, and throw off the shackles of the Capitalist ideal, and live cooperatively, or I fear that we human beings are going to have a really dark, and scary time.

@econetwork@mas.to to be honest, not much farming is done population wise, comparatively. A vast majority of us live in bigger cities, and most simply do not farm anymore. Except for the families having done it for generations already. Don't get me wrong, plenty of people still grow their gardens, here and there. We do have a place in Seattle, Washington State, called the Beacon Hill Food Forest, a cooperative garden that anyone in the city can harvest from.

@gnome@floss.social of course, but never, ever in your life must you have appointments that are fortnightly, or as we in the states say, Bi-weekly. The only way to make Gnome Calendar actually functional is to use Google Calendar and then import the bi-weekly appointments. But this is a stupid hack and workaround.

Whatever comes after this I sincerely hope is grounded in respect, at the very least, as the United Snakes Of America has been nothing if not an exemplar in the disregard and disrespect of those not befitting their ever evolving empire, using said empire to colonize the world, then, when the descendants of those colonized come to your shores, looking for a better life, they tell them "go back to where you came from." Hubris and hatred and disrespect.

So what about the peoples of certain areas where these data centers go up, and I think I have read in a couple of instances that if a data center goes in, the people will be out of water. So, no, all of them can fuck off and die. One single drop of stolen water is a war crime in my eyes, and deserves the worst punishment we can give. I recommend PUBLIC IMPALING until they get the fucking hint. #FuckAI #FuckLLM #FuckDataCenters

@octothorpe@mastodon.online you know, for a lot of stuff Safari really is great, but it is by no means a standard, normal web browser, and frankly, I get sick and tired of the Apple Devs seeming insistence upon talking down to us mere mortals like we're interchangable. Yet I cannot use Downie without it. Sometimes use Firefox as well. The problem I have with Mastodon on Safari is the way sometimes the interface for post/reply, or, better yet, the cursor, is located several pixels away. It's weird.

@Isofruit@mastodon.social fair enough. I just still do not understand the Gnome Devs thinking. Most human beings from time to time have bi-weekly or fortnightly appointments to put on the calendar. But Gnome suggests that I just connect it to a Google account to make it work, but that's a non starter. I would be more angry about this if I were in Europe or somewhere not the USA, where you cannot trust any of our technology. Google is fascist, and Gnome sure doesn't mind messing around with them.
