i already avoid public because it sucks a lot, but why the fuck would someone want to open carry in a grocery store? there's no point

your blogs and overlay have helped me a lot with my pinephone pro. it's set up differently from yours, but your documentation was more thorough than anything else i found. now it's running nicely in gentoo. thanks for all the work you've put into it!

Witch's Bats #art #chalktober #halloween #spooky

Charcoal, white chalk and soft pastel drawing on blue toned paper of a woman perched on a stump holding her hand out and palm facing the viewer. She's in the woods at night with a fire burning behind her and a swarm of bats is flying from behind her in the woods. Also a moon is peeking through the tops of the trees

I refuse to be beholden to notifications. I turned them all off, and I am simply never notified about anything.

obligatory neofetch

the output of the neofetch command from the gentoo gnu/linux system on my pinephone pro. it's a very silly command that is mostly just meant to look cool

this may seem trivial, but when i put my phone to sleep and left it charging overnight, it woke back up when i pushed the button again today. i've been trying to make that work correctly for like a week now

Palestinian journalist Shadi Abu Seed was one of those released yesterday. He recounted his mistreatment in prison, where he was told that his family had been killed, which he only yesterday discovered was another lie. There are thousands of others with stories like his.

Shadi Abu Seed, one of the Palestinians released from prison, on Al Jazeera looking with disbelief as he holds his child again

“I went hungry for the past two years. I swear to God, they didn’t feed us. They kept us naked. They beat us while we were naked. Day and night we were tortured. Till our last day in Israeli prison, they cut us and hit us and abused us. We ensured every kind of torture—emotional, and physical. We couldn’t even sleep. They threatened us with our children. They told me they killed my children. They told us that Gaza was destroyed. I arrived here and found that everything was gone. It looked like the end of the world. Everything is different.”

There's no more predictable sequence of events than someone posting "let's talk about literature" and every third comment is someone thinking they're special for broadly disliking all books hailed as classics.

perfectly acceptable imo. if you play a lot of games or watch a lot of streaming videos on your phone it probably wouldn't be good. but as a basic smartphone it's just fine
