yeah, that’s understandable. i’d never thought about it that way before.

personally i use enby as a way to say that i am in the middle / don’t really care.

i think the issue comes from the fact that saying non-binary means specifically non-{man,woman}. whereas i’ve always interpreted it as just non-“specific gender”.

to me it’s the etc. of gender labels, but i realise that not everyone that i think it describes would want to identify with it.

(and that means it becomes it’s own label, and now we have to figure out what to call everyone_else all over again. (maybe the whole idea of gender labels was rigged from the start))

source engine aesthetic was peak. i still love it, and nothing’s been able to replicate it. some games have tried, but the source feel is just unique.

i always love stacking books in barney’s interrogation room and trying to shove as many objects as i can in to kleiner’s mini teleporter.

i also remember having to wait for headcrabs to finish their death animation before i could move forward in hl1, so that’s fun :P

real :(

the real Year of the Linux Desktop™ was the friends we made along the way.

they are very similar. my only problem with hyprland was that the mouse is still required for some things, and it’s a bit annoying having to switch back and forth.

on sway, everything can be done by keyboard. i still use the mouse a lot, but there’s less switching in the middle of tasks.

it’s a little difference, but it was worth it for me.

there’s also the drama about some people being transphobic (i think?) in the hyprland discord, but i try not to pay too much attention to that.

hyprland accomplishes it’s goal of being pretty (and i got some really cool screenshots), but sway is pure functionality, and it’s damn good at it.

ye. i’ve been using wayland since forever.

started on hyprland, and then moved to sway, but it’s been an almost perfect experience for me

sometimes i have to install a different version of a package or smth, but otherwise everything works fine.

always All. it’s how i find new communities. it would prob be good if i start subscribing to more of the communities that i like though.

atm i’m just relying on the collective views of the threadiverse to feed me content.

oooh, yes!! i forgot Inside. i loved that game.

juicy atmosphere and environmental storytelling, my favourite >:)

i couldn’t put celeste down the first time i played it.

very fun game :3

i also remember a game called webbed, where you were a spider and got to do actual web physics and swinging. That was pretty cool.

you guys are getting settings menus? i’ve been doing everything manually this whole time :(

i’ll have to figure out how to use this ui. i have a few “adjustments” i want to make :3

btop because pretty colors :3

i still need to learn how to use top well though, just in case that’s the only option some day. if all else fails i just resort back to ps and (p)kill.

Oh, I never skip intros. I also don’t usually watch multiple episodes in a row though, so maybe that’s why.

(Arch, btw)

Technical: Better, easier to use APIs for pacman. The last time I tried to do alpm stuff, it wasn’t fun.

Social: Less rtfm. The manual is good, but it’s not cool when people are super elitist (especially towards newbies).

I think if the keyboard had dvorak in it’s firmware (rather than set on the pc) you would need a dvorak-to-qwerty conversion setting which I’ve never seen on a pc.

Most custom layouts (mine included) just assume the keyboard is sending qwerty.

Deleted my entire efi partition while trying to install some grub themes.

And then my backup didn’t work when I tried to restore it.

I have pretty colours now though, so it was all worth it :)
