Kasanwa-Solane are hugging its Octo Friend

@vantablack "Klitoris" sounds like something that would exist if the KDE foundation got into biohacking

@mxchara@seattle.pink On most of my NixOS installations I have KDE Plasma. (So I voted for KDE in the poll) That being said, on my Clockwork uConsole, I have Sway instead, because KDE Plasma is a bit performance heavy for that device.

@tkissing@mastodon.social @sluttymayo@jorts.horse to the tune of American Idiot by Green Day: Don't wanna be a forward-deployed engineer!

@HatsuneMiku does Miku love us enough to release the English dub of her movie? https://mastodon.octofriends.garden/@ka_so/116416930080187644

@rachaelspooky@cyberpunk.lol @alyx@frogs.lgbt because the root of the thread got boosted onto my timeline today (I wonder by whom...) I looked and noticed that the green color option is no longer listed :/

@nycki@critters.gay tell me: musical

@wander@weirder.earth beep boop meow These robots a decent bit of those criteria! otherkinplural systemhave participated in 27 revolutions around the sun (while on earth, no space flight for it) It also have interest in reading, including fantasy, sf, and queer stories

@xan they do have two official mascots (which are part of an "open species" of dragons) This wiki page details the two mascots and also the species in general https://community.kde.org/Konqi

@thermia while I have a subscription to a service that includes music streaming, that's not the functionality I use of said subscription, so I don't think I count as in scope of this

@nycki@critters.gay these robots wanted to convert it into SI derived units bits and bytes aren't SI derived units, but they are valid units for storage capacity in the International System of Quantities 1.00 kilo-octets per square inch is about 1.24 x 107 bits per square meter (i am assuming that in saying bytes, you are implying octets.)

@nycki@bark.lgbt @heatherhorns_lite@plush.city HSV is a reasonable go to, but if your tooling supports OKLCH, I'd suggest trying that. It's kinda like HSV, but it approaches certain tradeoffs differently. Instead of saturation and value, it used lightness and chroma. Lightness spans from 0 (darkest possible black) to 1 (brightest possible white). Chroma is how much color it has; at 0 chroma, the hue is irrelevant. The upper bound of chroma depends on both the hue and lightness. A visualizer for OKLCH would look kinda like the HSV visualizer, with a hue ring, but inside the hue ring you'd have irregular looking triangles that the shape depends on the hue. Basically, the color picker might feel less intuitive, but modifying colors has more predictable results OKHCL isn't supported well by digital art programs just yet, but its supported well on the web, with every major currently supported browser engine allowing its use in CSS and in-line styles

@nycki I really like this post :3 If I were to try setting up separate chat and boards for the Garden in alignment with the concepts, what might you advise on that (with regards to ready-to-deploy software, community norms, and other aspects)

@autistics@fedigroups.social @autismunicorn@autistics.life Regarding friendships, I formed some through the traumatic experiences of middle school and high school (made friends with other similarly neurodivergent queer people though some of us didn’t know about being queer at the time, myself included). I’ve formed other friendships through college, with student organizations aligned with my interests and/or identities. And nowadays I build physical reality friendships through a network effect, of them being a friend of a friend and hanging out through that before eventually being friends with them directly, along with attending hobby-based spaces and hobby-based events Regarding romantic relationships: my first good one was very strongly by chance. We met at a 2 day learning workshop in a physical reality space, and were among the few young people there. We conversed during the breaks. Exchanged contact info at the end of day 1 and messaged a lot that evening. on the evening after day two, we went on our first date. We still keep in touch on occasion, but each time feels meaningfulmy second good one was met through OkCupid. Would i recommend that specific service nowadays, I don’t know. Both them and I infodumped a lot on our profiles, which helped with the initial vibe checking. While we’re long distance with regards to physical reality nowadays, we interact pretty regularlymy third good relationship, I met her on the fediverse first, we became online friends, then physical reality friends when I moved to Seattle (as she already lived in the area) and then, after a few months of having physical reality interactions, I realized that I had unaddressed romantic feelings, and told her, and as it turned out, she also had similar feelings towards me, so we started “dating”, and then some number of months later, started using romantic relationship terms like girlfriend and such All the spaces that I make these meaningful connections in are ones where my autistic camouflage is down, either deliberately or accidentally in a good way. I’m not necessarily dropping the camouflage for every interaction in all of the spaces I’m trying to make friends in, I try to feel the vibes of the space and people first

@lunya@sk.lunya.pet hugs @vantablack@mastodon.octofriends.garden :3

@qdot it's NMN, of course /j

@tonsilola lmao That is an amazing coincidence

@foone@digipres.club also, as a bonus, you can put meaning in the choice of what you say with it :octo_friend_smile:

@ka_so@cyberpunk.gay to clarify, the downtime being referred to was for the most part, only on cyberpunk.gay and not on any of the other services on the machine

@navi me over here sideloading on NixOS /j From a perspective of installing something on NixOS, it is in fact so much easier to do it using nixpkgs if its already packaged than any other way; IMO installing things on NixOS outside of using nixpkgs is more friction than "sideloading" is on Android, while using nixpkgs and the Play Store are similar amounts of friction

@foone@digipres.club why not something from the Under ConScript Unicode Registry? That's Private Use Area, so that can break systems that are using the PUA characters in other ways I'm partial to the sitelen pona block of the UCSUR since I'm a toki pona fan but there's a bunch of conlang scripts to pick from
