I keep having this conversation with straight white men that they are somehow perplexed by:

man: in order to beat Trump we’re going to have to concede a bit on your rights

Me: if you concede on my rights why the fuck do I care if you win? If I lose my rights no matter what, why does it matter to me that you beat Trump?

Man: stunned confusion

Do people actually like watching American football or is it like something everyone thinks you’re supposed to like and they don’t wanna admit it’s boring as fuck

@danirabbit@mastodon.online avatar

At least baseball fans will tell you honestly nobody likes watching it. They’re like, “Yeah you just kinda put it on in the background and check the score whenever”

Thinking about how a white woman recently told me she was specifically trying to get her Instagram algorithm to never show her anything political. And isn’t that just the whole problem summed up right there

danirabbit OP ,

“Apolitical” is a conservative position. You know that right? Avoiding politics means you aren’t opposed to the current conditions. You would be happy conserving the status quo. That’s what that is

danirabbit OP ,
@danirabbit@mastodon.online avatar

I reposted a reel from a black woman a while back where she said, “your politically engaged friend is burned out too”. We are also exhausted and tired of hearing about it and talking about it. You deciding you’re too stressed out and overwhelmed to participate just puts more of the burden on the people for whom participation is not voluntary

I’m disappointed at how ingrained tribalism is in the desktop Linux landscape and how frequently I have to remind chatters to treat developers from other desktops with kindness and respect

danirabbit OP ,
@danirabbit@mastodon.online avatar

You may have a favorite desktop that you really love and feel passionate about and that’s great, but we should not be putting down other desktops or their developers for having their own way of doing things. They are our colleagues and often our friends. Just about everyone who works on desktop Linux is an expert in their field in one way or another. And everyone is passionate about what they do and cares deeply about the experience they deliver their users.

I can’t remember where I saw it, but I feel like today is a good time to revisit the concept of “Vegan + bacon”.

People often avoid making small positive changes because they get caught up in trying to go all the way. For example, “I could never go vegan. I love bacon too much”.

So then go vegan plus bacon. Or vegetarian plus bacon. Or just switch to oat milk and eat more vegetables. Whatever small change you can make is good

Happy new year to everyone except the people who can never allow creators to celebrate their accomplishments and only harass them to continuously do more free labor

danirabbit OP ,

Also happy new year to the radical left marxists, the illegals, transgenders, and the people who have no idea what they’re doing

Happy new year to queer goth baristas. Actually happy new year to goth chicks in general. 2025 was a great year for hot goths, I can only pray this continues in 2026

I shouldn’t have to say this, but please don’t post direct links to the elementary OS ISO, especially on release day. This is my only form of income and I really don’t make a lot of it. I want to keep making elementary OS as my job, but when you bypass our pay-what-you-can ask it cuts directly into the revenue I rely on to pay rent and buy food. The vast majority of people already pay nothing when they download. Please don’t take away the biggest opportunity I have for folks to support my work

You’re also fucking up our CDN by pointing all of your readers to one server instead of a localized one, so it’s like a huge dick move regardless

“Transgender for everybody”, but unironically. As in, spend some time deconstructing your gender and then actively choose what gender roles and expressions you actually do and don’t want to perform. Deconstruct your sexuality too. Deconstruct your religion. Deconstruct anything you were indoctrinated into so you can be authentically you

A company isn’t good or even neutral if they both promote and give money to the people who want to do genocide and the people who are trying not to get genocided.

danirabbit OP ,
@danirabbit@mastodon.online avatar

If your article doesn’t contain, “Framework—promoters of white replacement theorists”, or “Framework—who recently lost their community moderators by creating rules that protect would be fascists” or “Framework—who is now attempting to launder their reputation after their CEO declined to denounce white supremacy” it is irresponsible for you to publish it.

danirabbit OP ,
@danirabbit@mastodon.online avatar

I’m tired of waking up to a world where open white supremacy is continually normalized as “just a political opinion”. This shit is not normal.

danirabbit OP ,
@danirabbit@mastodon.online avatar

Knowingly associating with white supremacists should absolutely destroy your reputation. It is sickening to see that more and more that has not been the case lately

It’s so funny talking to liberals as a leftist because I know that they are right wing, but they didn’t know they were right wing until they talked to me

And it doesn’t even take radical Marxist shit to get there either, it’s super boring shit like, “Yeah we should make public transportation free” and suddenly they’re like, “oh my god but what if someone who doesn’t deserve it gets on the bus??”

“We tax the churches”

gasp

“And the billionaires”

“They worked so hard for that money!”

“And we use that money to make sure there’s no homeless people”

“Oh my god she’s insane!” faints

Here I am being radicalized by Star Trek as a child like, “Hm yeah maybe money was a bad idea and we should stop that altogether”

Currently building branches/making releases for the final planned feature for OS 8.1! My goal is to start building RCs before eod

So if you haven’t signed up for early access, it’s a good time to sponsor your favorite indie operating system 🩷 https://builds.elementary.io/

Ah yes this is a great name for this kind of code. I’ve also seen humans do this where it’s a function to call a single line of code. Like why dude. All you’ve done is turned documented library functions into undocumented internal ones

When did every web / tooltip / notification acknowledgment under the sun become "Got It" instead of "OK"?

Any why does it annoy me so much?

@killyourfm neither of these are good button labels. Button labels should tell you what will happen if they’re clicked. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine when I see a button label that isn’t an action

Does anybody know of a way to find out how many GitHub issues were closed as fixed during a span of time? Ideally for an entire org, but for a repo is okay too. I’m guessing I can do this with GitHub cli somehow but if someone has a snippet handy that’d be swell :)

danirabbit OP ,
@danirabbit@mastodon.online avatar

Oh sick you can use search for this. Check it out, over 1k issues closed as “completed” since OS 8 was released: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aelementary+closed%3A%3E2024-11-26+reason%3Acompleted+&type=issues
