Consequently, Flock CEO Garrett Langley is now in full damage control mode.

It's interesting how this coincides with the news about the cases against Luigi, and I can't help but wonder if this CEO fears becoming like that other CEO.

The company is still trying to paint itself as the good guy

I find it very hard to believe that anyone in that company, especially the CEO, believes themselves to be "the good guy"

“I do not understand,” reads an ancient line of pictographs depicting the sun, the moon, water, and a Sumerian who appears to be scratching his head. “A booming voice is saying, ’Let there be light,’ but there is already light. It is saying, ’Let the earth bring forth grass,’ but I am already standing on grass.”

“Everything is here already,” the pictograph continues. “We do not need more stars.”

(thank you for sharing the link. i hadn't read that one yet and it's very good <3)

I have never heard the bottom left take anywhere before, though.

✨️ until now ✨️

In reading about it, I learned that the devs are apparently hateful and hostile to transgender people. When trying to see for myself, I found their forums gated, inaccessible to the public. So I placed Artix in the Dubious row to represent my unwillingness to recommend it.

Edited to add this:

This repo, made in response to another repo, has this bit:

Artix Linux | Developers are openly transphobic

as am i

bonus meme:

Bottom left is a super-convenient built-in feature of Qubes OS, via qubes-whonix. I just click a button and a new disposable whonix qube is generated from the template, and it only takes seconds to boot. When I'm done with it, I close the window, and the disposable qube is automatically deleted.

Bottom right is my default, since I don't like broken sites.

suicide or suicidality? subtle difference. "my suicide" suggests failed attempts of the past, whereas "my suicidality" suggests potential for a successful attempt yet-to-come. or it could be intentionally ambiguous to represent both. relatable <3

neither do i :p

Hot take

::: spoiler Image Description Tumblr post by fluoresensitive: Small penises aren't bad, balding isn't bad, being short isn't bad, being fat isn't bad. Physical traits are not signs of morality, and the sooner people stop mocking people for their bodies (yes, even when they're bad) the better.

User uxji responds with a drawing of a stick-person labeled "You" holding a gun labeled in red "Bodyshaming" firing to the right at a stick-person labeled "Guy u don't like but will not care" who is deflecting the shot to the left which hits a third stick-person labeled "Person you care about with the same trait who now knows you think they're ugly"

User cretaceousundead responds: Like another tumblr post said "when you make fun of a bad person for their appearance, somewhere there's a good person with a similar appearance who hears you and feels terrible" :::

I think the CEO assassination is the main reason we've seen this swift deployment of surveillance cameras everywhere. It just so happens they're also useful for wannabe dictators to further terrorize the people, as we're seeing.

Yes, OpenDyslexicAlta Bold ^^

There is also hand stencil art in places like Indonesia and Australia from 67,800 years ago

Like it really must take some proper mental gymnastics to deny something you can see with your own eyes and say some demon made it all up specifically to fuck with Christians.

Well, you can't see the age of a thing. And young-earth creationists certainly don't understand how we know the ages of things. So instead, they believe what they're told by people they trust, and those people say shit like "were you there?"

And honestly, my response (if it ever comes up) will be this: "Yes. I was there. I am God. I was there before there was. I formed this world from nothing. I am your God. Worship me." And if they question any of that, I will respond with "WERE YOU THERE?!! CUZ I FUCKING WAS!!! AND I SURE AS HELL DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE!!!" followed by "PROVE ME WRONG"

Thank you, have a nice day/night <3

The demo site seems to work without javascripts, and the main site's "Why this exists" lists "an interface that works with JavaScript switched off" as one of the reasons.

Hey, so there are a few threads I can't see from this instance due to defederations and I wanna respond anyway.

@[email protected] open dyslexia font? nice touch.

Thanks. Yeah, it's OpenDyslexicAlta Bold. It felt like a good option for a meme font that was kinda different and maybe easy enough to read to make it useful too.

@[email protected] That makes it easier for dyslexics?

Possibly for some, as @[email protected] said. I think it would probably be more beneficial for those who are introduced to it at a young age. Otherwise it takes some time to get used to it, and I did end up falling back to the fonts I had been using. But I do like OpenDyslexicAlta font and think it makes a good meme font, so yeah.

Okay so that's my response to the chain of comments quoted above. Sorry I can't give y'all upvotes due to the defederation, and sorry it took me so long to realize there were comments which were hidden from me. I do try my best to respond to everything that seems directed at me or which I can offer a worthwhile response.

The next chain of comments is much longer (it's a really good one too), and I'm thinking I'll make one or more responses when I get back online a while from now.

Yeah, I had originally read it as if the tour guide was giving incorrect information, like by using religious terminology instead of B.C.E./C.E.

And if this works, here's the light-mode themed version of the os tier list:
