As much as I enjoy using GNOME as a software project and am excited about their design direction as a UI/UX nerd who loves open source stuff, I REALLY hope the new person they find can encourage them to move in a direction that involves playing well with others more often.

It’s very frustrating how many projects or groups in the open source/free software world seem incapable of being prosocial, facilitating healthy community involvement, and NOT being antagonistic towards projects and people with different goals, priorities, or perspectives.

This is really beautiful, I love it!

I feel like people misread or misunderstood your comment 😅

Lmao, a little too real

Its always fun seeing your familiar name around the fediverse, hope you are well ☺️

She’s not wrong that most foreign terrorist threats the US faces were radicalized by our own political and military involvement in other regions

I would have to imagine excellent fine motor control and really shit aim 😅

Honestly they did pretty well until the lower section

All good, I was putting it off cause I was stressed about who would win, at least now it won’t be stressful 😅

Glad it went to 5 games!

I guess that’s what I get for not having watched the finals yet 🙃

Well that fucking sucks

Ahhh, yeah that’s fair, I was thinking domestically

Take care :)

Stressfull. I’m gonna wake up to news about how it went and I’m not really prepared for if it goes poorly. Just trying not to think about it and hope for the best.

We even have real alternatives. Mastodon and bluesky are both right there, just go make an account and post a link for folks.

I’m curious what you’d have liked that wasn’t included? We got cost of living issues, social issues like protections for queer folks, health of our democratic institutions kinda stuff, the climate crisis; I feel like she mentioned pretty much all the stuff I really care about

(Making conversation, not challenging your perspective :)

Looks like a really compelling list of policy stances, thanks for posting

See, if I block greentext I’m gonna really miss bewildering nonsense fever-dream posts like this:

I saw it and thought back to this discussion lol

Anyway, hope you’re having a good one

Your username is fitting.

Believe it or not, some people like making casual conversation with other people, even if it’s just idle agreement.

Hope you have a nice day.

Engaging with other people on this small platform makes it feel less empty. There aren’t many people here, so I go out of my way to talk to people instead of just interacting with the number beside their comment or post.

And all they’ll have to show for it is a mediocre pile of garbage

Couldn’t agree more 😅

Huh, interesting. I thought it was with respect to the development of the frontol lobe and your ability to evaluate risk vs reward, I must have sort of mixed “facts” I learned at some point

Thanks for correcting me! ☺️

Edit: this seems like a good source if someone is interested to know more, scishow is very well researched and really good at communicating that research
