smokers, protests 

Can smokers please just stay home during protests if they can't do without smoking in the crowd. Seriously if you are a person who smokes in groups just like think about other people instead of trying to asphalt everyone's lungs please. Chanting about solidarity and then excluding people with lung conditions is hypocritical and rude. I am extremely sick of coughing a fit and being excluded from groups I want to walk with because of smokers. It's really not that hard to just not or at least move out of the crowd instead of forcing me to.

@devurandom@cybre.space Probably because they are built by music nerds who would have diligently ensured that their collection is complete

@ben "Nah, the shitshow of Android updates isn't Google fault, it's the fault of vendors and carriers, nothing Google can do about it" suddenly looking a whole lot less credible

This page is Google's advertisement for the computer that they told me is "too old to receive security updates".

There is no mention of the fact that the computer is "too old to receive security updates" on the webpage telling you to purchase the computer.

This computer is newer than my Windows PC

the thing that pisses me off most about school is that the amount of stuff I needed to learn would have taken like 30 minutes total and yet I didn't learn any of it in school

like, how is writing a book report on The Great Gatsby supposed to do anything for me if nobody thought it would be a good idea to give me a one-sentence explanation of what project planning is that my boss at my first job had to give me

@worr @aeva@mastodon.social This is 100% the case, and something I've been railing against for years. It's extremely frustrating.

as long as graphene keeps supporting this device i'll keep using it, because with a snapdragon 855 performance is not even slightly lacking, it feels genuinely absurd classing this as EOL

i mean maybe i'll make it a longterm project myself, i.e. try replace the flash chip when it gets worn out etc. i keep wanting to get into some kernel dev so maybe helping with backporting fixes to this device's 4.14 tree will be my intro lol

ik haat het fenomeen sociale media die hun webversies expres minder functioneel en toegankelijk maken tot je een account maakt en/of de app download

niet ongerelateerd haat ik tevens ook instagram

@evelyn@misskey.bubbletea.dev Lot of people seem to mistakenly believe that your performance will suck if you don't serve them from some geo-replicated CDN, unfortunately

I'm one of those edge cases that thinks encodings & formats are political, bc the act of bounding what and how things should exist just... is... but beyond a few format art pieces I don't know any good way to teach them. do I know anyone that does?

@elilla @IngaLovinde I have both, alternatingly, but I'd still consider myself an introvert. It's not that human interactions *by themselves* are exhausting to me, the exhausting thing is just not having control over the 'when'. Sometimes I need chaos and social stuff, sometimes I need peace and quiet.

Building a gender centrifuge cascade for the purpose of producing enriched gender.

another call for left unity implying that "dividing the left" is for the privileged. actually, it's a luxury to be able to treat genocide denial/apologism and defense of incarceration as abstract differences of opinion.

@plomlompom My usual heuristic is "are they trying to sell me something, either directly or via affiliate links?" -- if yes, then they are probably not trustworthy.

i worry that people will think it's linux's fault when my computer doesn't work when it's actually my fault.
