gonna try to start a fedi hashtag to get people to start talking about fighting games more! Who do you main in the three games you play most seriously?
For me it's:
2XKO - Akali/Ahri
Rivals of Aether 2 - Clairen
Guilty Gear Strive - Ky/Bridget
quote this post or use the hashtag to share who you play, I'd love to get people chatting more!!
#MainsIn3Games #FGC #fightinggames
(and even if you don't play fighting games! If you play competitive games at all, share those mains!)
Last night's animu session was finishing up the last 5 or so episodes of Getter Robo Arc. I found myself absolutely loving the plot beats in the final run to the finale, even with the cliffhanger ending.
Probably going to check for more OVAs and then dive into the Getter Robo manga in general, since I loved both Armageddon and Arc.
Universal Blue/Bazzite/Silverblue/other immutable Linux friends: (why) should I be using Homebrew?
I contribute to a handful of web projects that use npm, ruby, and probably other package managers. I’ve not really had a problem lately installing things the way those projects say to for Linux, but I keep hearing about people using Homebrew on Linux. When needed, I can also spin up a toolbx container and work in there. Am I missing something?
"Trans children have such awful lives, isn't it better for them to not suffer?"
Transness is actually really awesome. It's the transphobia that sucks. If everyone responded to trans kids coming out with "thanks for telling me, I love you" and being affirming, trans kids would have GREAT childhoods.
I want to state for the record that I love Framework’s products. They are incredibly friendly to Linux, to Free Software, and to the Right to Repair movement. If their stated mission didn’t so closely align to my own values—and if they weren’t jeopardizing their reputation
If you believe open hardware laptops means open as in punch a Nazi every time they open their mouth and spew bile (as opposed to Framework’s definition of big open tent inclusive of Nazis), I suggest checking out the MNT Reform Next:
https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next
There’s work on a Wi-Fi 7 chipset (QCS8550) which is the only blocker for me updating my decade old Thinkpad. There’s even collaborative work with folks behind the gay iPod, Tangara! And it has multi-language legend options for their keyboard! Really wish they had Thunderbolt support planned to allow for just plugging in a single cable to a KVM switch, but that’s my only qualm
You can also find the project in the fediverse:
@mntmn
The year is no longer 2020, it’s 2026 and there are more ethical options out there besides Framework Consider tossing a coin or two MNT’s way
You know what they should have announced last week/month?
