every single notification sound that a piece of software makes should be fully customizable. ideally this would be a feature provided by the OS

These Second Life scripting functions are so funny to me. Making a second version of a function with "Correct" in the name sure does give off vibes of needing to maintain backwards compatibility. And then I guess the corrected function still wasn't correct enough so there's a third one.

2037 will be the year of Amazon Linux on the Firearm

mod that randomly makes pawns realize they are trans after psychic drones don't affect them as expected

it would be an absolute shame if anybody misused this portal the german police set up exclusively for snitching on the people responsible for the NYE riots in #berlin #b3112 which the right and ofc also the center are now using to dig up their favorite racist stereotypes about migrant youth...

@joepie91 @amberage @mmin I've used an analogy that seems apt: tourists coming to a small town with a rich history, and saying all it needs is freeway access, some starbucks, and a walmart and maybe people can start living here

can you all CW your posts on US electoral politics? not because they're disturbing, but because they're boring as fuck and I don't care about them at all

Hey cis friends, have you ever fantasized about being a different gender? Any context: sex or cool clothes or whatever, no shame attached.

Some trans folks I've talked to think everyone questions their gender, but the few cis folks I've asked either say no, or only a tiny handful of times.

If none of these choices make sense for you, my DMs are open. (Edit: See also the secondary poll below, which has more options.)

Trans friends, please sit this one out, but please do boost for reach.

@amberage@eldritch.cafe @mmin Of course not, nothing existed before they arrived, no work was done - after all something could not have meaningfully existed before they heard of its existence, and therefore they must enlighten us all

re: meta, short rant 

@ssundell In this particular case, it was about the LinkedIn For The Fediverse asshat, but it's an evergreen toot really

It is taking an absurd amount of time and reading of documentation to figure out how to go from "AppStream is a format that exists" to "I have a full dataset of packages and metadata about them"

considering that we'll likely never see the prince of persia original artwork again after it disappears into a private collection, here's a lightly cleaned up version of the scan done by the auctioneer.

yeah, it would have been nice to have a professional art restorer do a proper clean up of the faded edges, but in the absence of that, a 300 dpi jpeg ain't bad.

enjoy!

I'm willing to pay up to $10,000 (USD), to whomever I need to pay, to solve the #GNOME AT keyboard input handling problem once and for all. Currently, toolkits implementing AT-SPI have to pass all keyboard events to the AT-SPI registry, then wait for a response on whether the event should be processed as usual. No other platform does something like this, and this unique platform-specific requirement is a major complication for #AccessKit. I want to get this fixed. #accessibility

meta, humorous 

I kind of love how cross-posters have established the convention of acting like twitter.com is actually a federated instance, as in @example@twitter.com. Feels like a great little nose thumbing, honestly.
