I suppose that’s true. I wish I looked more woman-y though.

I’m feeling really conflicted in regards to dating. I’m (probably?) ace-spec, and all I really want is someone to cuddle, kiss, and love. I feel anxious, and I think it’s because I’m worried that I’ll never find someone to be long-term partners with.

There’s also polyamory. It sounds great, but I would only want to be in like, a closed polycule. Any kind of open relationship would leave me feeling left out.

Everything, really.

I basically only thrift. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really want a newsboy cap, right now (I finally found the skirt of my dreams, so I’m content for now in that regard).

very based post 10/10

I mean, it kinda is better. Chinese companies won’t rat you out to Uncle Sam.

I’m a (rightfully) paranoid trans woman, and I don’t trust the big tech companies to not rat me out if the government escalates to full-on genocide against us trans folks.

I mean, Alphabet makes most of their money by selling user data, but switching to a new phone simply takes time.

I never really used social media (I lurked, but I didn’t sign in), but then I found the Fediverse. I particularly enjoy this lil corner (the Threadiverse).

I suppose I could just play FOSS games, but at the same time, I don’t think Steam is making much money off of me playing the games I already bought.

I recently got a Fairphone with /e/os, and I’m pretty happy with it. Now, the only time I ever have to use a proprietary OS is when I (very occasionally) need Secure Boot to get past anticheat.

Honestly, the only American companies I’ll struggle to boycott is videogame distributors. I think the only non-American company that sells videogames (digitally; obviously there are physical retailers) is Nintendo, and I’m not buying a Switch, because they’re pretty frickin’ expensive.

Congrats on your progress toward digital sovereignty thus far; it’s honestly quite impressive.

My contribution to elbows up is to degoogle, demicrosoft, and defacebook (I didn’t use apple or amazon to begin with), and eventually, I’m gonna move out of the country (the ultimate boycott).

My counter-argument to the whole “windows just works” thing is “no it doesn’t”. Like, it’s slow, bloated, and it just updates whenever it feels like it. /endrant

It can be really helpful to have someone to do linux tech support. I lwk wish I had someone to do that for irl.

It depends on tbe distro you choose. Debian, Ubuntu and Mint are simpler and easier to use, whereas Arch, Void, and NixOS are more complicated.

If you have the time, I highly recommend experimenting with it, and maybe switching over. It can be a lot of fun, and in the end, your computer will feel more like it’s your own.

Also I chickened out of building my OS from scratch because I don’t wanna handle security myself :/

Glad you’re part of the pink club now :3

I really like the colour pink 🩷

I got a skirt with pockets, and it’s so cute :3

I swear I’m gonna clean up my desk! It’s covered in so much junk lol.

After that, I’m gonna finally start working on doing Linux From Scratch (my goal is to learn how to set up a basic Linux OS, and then try to figure out how one might swap out the kernel with the NetBSD one).

An oldie, but a goodie: jam, bread, and the star of the show, peanut butter.

Another fun one is a tuna or egg salad sandwich: tuna or egg mixed with mayonnaise, spread across BOTH slices of bread (it’s important to get as much of that good stuff on the bread as possible).

Oh and pasta. Pasta + butter + topping of choice. Cheese, tuna; anything, really.

He did, sorta: Beren and Lúthien <3

I’m a trans girl, and I really don’t pass (except for my voice kinda). I can really only dress and wear makeup for my own enjoyment.

Even with bold eyeliner, I still get he/him’d. I’m honestly not sure if it’s transphobia, acceptance of feminine men, or obliviousness.

Most days, I kinda just boymode (despite my nametag lol). I don’t even know anymore. Fuck gender norms or whatever.

Thanks! I like all things girly too :3

Thanks :3
