  • thank you alduous huxley for the warning. maybe with the next rise of fascism we'll be better equipped to listen to the story tellers warning us about the dangers we're in

  • Kate Nash and Lily Allen on OnlyFans should be a wake-up call for the music industry

  • bandcamp gets the crown for "most least worst." i've even met a few artists who say they prefer fans to stream on bandcamp to spotify or qobuz because they make enough more money per purchase than per stream, and enough streams convert to purchases, that they get paid more the more people are listening on bandcamp

  • Who's the worst president the US has ever had?

    Jump

  • Christ. most of them.

    George Washington got to be in charge of a country that enshrined chattel slavery in its constitution for 20 years. Thomas Jefferson provided military aid to France's efforts to quash a slave revolt in Haiti. Andrew Jackson personally orchestrated a genocide against the Cherokee, Creek, and Choctaw (all of whom were aligned with american interests). Zachary Taylor put a bounty on bison, in an effort to starve the native Americans of the great plains. Abraham Lincoln allowed his western military expeditions to do basically whatever to the native Americans. Andrew Johnson started the process of letting confederate leadership be who directed reconstruction rather than being punished for it.

    And here we reach Ulysses S Grant. one of America's favorite punching bag presidents because he got scammed rather frequently, but when you dig into why he was prone to getting scammed, it's because he thought it was America's duty to use its economic power to help the lowest people in society. it's hard to be mad at a guy who was trying so hard to help people that sometimes he let someone con him into thinking they deserved help.

    i can keep going on how a ton of our historical presidents have sucked. i'm still personally willing to say the top 3 are Andrew Jackson, Ronald Reagan, and Donald trump

  • they're fediverse mascots. i'm not sure about the middle two, but the far left one represents Sharkey (a transfriendly misskey fork) and the far right one represents Pleroma (a fediverse platform written by far right chuds that's been forked into akkoma about it)

  • There doesn't appear to be a limit to the maximum size the KDE cursor can get when you shake it.

    Jump

  • i hope someone working on KDE sees this and says "well this is unacceptable. we have to figure out why this is causing so much frame lag" and the ability to enhugen your cursor remains forever.

  • FreeCAD 1.0 finally dropped!

    Jump

  • new is a different concept from first api stable release. it's been in development since 2002. 0.21 was the most recent release, and the software has been pretty much usable since 2010 at least. but this 1.0 release is a big deal because it basically means any features you currently know and like can be expected to be there for forever. it's more of a promise than a time-based release measure

  • Using something else than Graphene OS is pointless

  • i took a month long hiatus and am probably gonna continue that pattern. the threadiverse has gone completely insane the last couple months and i worry about the people for whom this is their sole gateway into the fediverse, and what they think the consensus on what reality is. i'm mostly on mastodon at this point and have been just… talking to my neighbors more
