System 76's COSMIC desktop environment (still in beta) is damn near a replacement for GNOME for me. Missing one or two creature comforts and still a little bit rough around the edges, but I will be watching its release intently.

Look, I'm a defender of traditional British cuisine. I think it's unfairly maligned, and feel a lot of it is perfectly good, hearty food that isn't hugely different to that of many countries with similar climates and crops. But how the fuck do you grow up in the UK and never once eat curry?
The British Right are just in total freefall into savagery at this point

Hey, so, maybe before confidently posting modern revisionist versions of common sayings and asserting that they are in fact the true originals that conveniently have a completely different meaning to the common version, maybe consider taking 2 minutes to quickly look it up and check which came first

Oh great I just got the new youtube player ui. It's ugly, and despite being twice as large is somehow half as legible.

Mirai Sentai Timeranger is so good. Like I have nostalgia for Power Rangers Time Force, and I will probably rewatch it after Timeranger to see the differences and similarities but I was not prepared for just how good Timeranger was

Bluesky's lack of a coms team does indeed give us some of these funny moments such as:
"You're aware that you are ostensibly speaking for the company with the current role you have and the subject matter you're wading into, right?
what?"

I do find it hilarious how they immediately backtracked after this and deleted the comment

Yeah, starting to suspect that this project's talking points were nothing but a grift. The original /intended/ users were those techbro crypto shits, and they're the most griftable clowns around.

The one thing i still don't get is the blue tick thing. Bsky made a whole deal over custom domain handles as a (relatively) simple form of self verification. But i guess we need the blue ticks now. Because we need to look like the bad site or summat

Hey so, can we maybe sort out our dirty laundry in private instead of doing a live public schism before the party has even been properly founded yet? Had interest in this, but I'm rapidly losing faith. The Right are a mostly united front of fascism rn, we can't afford stuff like this. #yourparty

Is this app totally annihilating anyone else’s nervous system right now? I think I have to unfollow a few people (probably not you) because my nervous system just can’t handle the constant horror. I know it’s a privilege to be able to do that but… wow. It’s really feeling necessary.
