matrix

IMO getting Matrix’s UI to work like apps people are familiar with is an order of magnitude less effort than any other option, and possibly an order of magnitude better than other options in terms of meeting the design goal of private messaging.

OTOH I don’t make UI’s 🤪

I’ve been in Signal chats with Tulsi Gabbard’s staff.

And no ofc it’s not that impressive. They used the app during the Dem Primary campaign trail so all the campaign volunteers used it to coordinate.

Back then I thought she would be a charismatic Dem that could win against Trump – when none of the Dems (esp. not Biden IMO) seemed to have a chance.

Back then she was inclusive with her political rhetoric. She was the only candidate on either side whose primary message was:

Respect the other side as people, and try to understand their point of view

OMFG I wish I’d hear that from politicians more often. Or ever.

Please forgive me. I was like 9 years younger back then and Tulsi hadn’t gone MAGA.

I like how they cut Texas off at the 'nards

Spectating can be fun but the real enjoyment comes from being an active player

Trump

Fun fact: most hetero men (like myself) LOVE BOOBS

We love ALL BOOBIES

We especially love BOOBIES WE CAN (almost) SEE

You have a nice body and sweet cute tits. Hide them if you wish, but flaunt them if you want power over us.

The only crypto worthy of the name

I approve, and wish to add my support

Windows

Tea

Umbrellas

An easy peertube + Ghost spin for content providers could probably be a viable business model

“Atheists” who make themselves, or the State, a swap-in replacement for God(s) are not much different from purely religious authorities who abuse their positions. It is apparently a common kind of power-seeking Dark Trait.

The Leviathan theory of the state – the Motherland who is greater than us, who we would die for as cells die to preserve the body, and whose Exegeses come from the Great Leader/Supreme Council/President for Life.

It’s exactly the same play on faith and credulity and servility that religions use.

Bingo.

I have way more respect for ravers at Burning Man who OD on Ecstasy while dancing naked and copulating for 14 hours straight.

At least they enjoyed their completely unproductive dalliance

Atheists don’t need to disprove theists any more than they need to disprove Leprechauns. The burden of proof is on the one making the positive assertion.

And people detached from reality.

If you acquire Messiah status, you may expect someone from outside the reality-based community to think killing you is somehow The Right Thing To Do.

Please don’t include me in your “everyone”

Straight up murder does make healthcare less expensive; rather, it cheapens human life.

$ gsettings get org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions 
['apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'gtktitlebar@velitasali.github.io']

I can’t believe apps-menu and window-list are not the default behaviors. gtktitlebar is just so I can claw back a few precious pixels of vertical screen space.

Geez Donald wouldn’t it be awesome to have kickass fighters like that on our side?!?

No cardboard, no cellotape, highest quality materials

May I introduce your barbaric uncivilized ass to the ideas of “voting” and “education”

However it divides up, I want to be on the side that has scientists and vaccines
