I don't really know how people expect me to take a desktop environment seriously that defaults to a narrow font and doesn't let you change it without some absurd hackery
Scrollbars are becoming a problem

I'm joining the war on scrollbars, on the side of the scrollbars
Moderation related pet-peeve
Whenever some moderator goes "some person shouldn't be doing this to staff member/moderator" I die a little.
There aren't a lot of things that shouldn't be done to member of moderation, that can be done to anyone else in a community. Implying moderation/staff is some protected class deserving more protection from rule breaking behavior is simply disgusting. If someone is harassing or behaving rude - it doesn't matter if its done to a community member or a moderator. You moderate it just the same.
Separating creatures into staff/non staff creates double standards and it's awful. Bleh.
Haiku domain PSA
The domain of the Haiku Project (haiku-os.org) domain has just expired, due to autorenewal failure. Do not visit links from the main site or any associated subdomains until the domain has been renewed.
I made this PSA in Haiku Community Discord earlier today too, but I've been seeing people in the Fediverse asking about this so it's posted here too.
In the meantime, there is still the official Haiku IRC/Matrix channel on OFTC (#haiku:oftc.net) and the various unofficial Haiku communities:

layoffs
And like, I'm not saying that "big names getting laid off" is some kind of perfect indicator of anything, it's just that they seemed to be the last ones still standing after the past few waves of firings
Friendly reminder, if you stopped masking due to social pressure, anxiety, or for any other reason, and you wanna mask up again, you absolutely can! Lots of folks never stopped masking and some folks are starting again because of the cold and flu season on top of national COVID spikes.

#poll for folks who make art regularly as a hobby: how long do you usually spend working on a given art project?
@th give someone one clock and they will always know the time, give someone two clocks and they will never know the time

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
