A friend of mine who’s a professional singer got told by his former conductor upon firing him, “well, see, if a violinist has a bad instrument he can just replace it. But in the case of a singer, well, it’s just not so easy.” Very roundabout and very crushing.

Whoa, I’d be careful sharing that you did that, it’s still the internet. But maybe I’m being overly careful.

I do enjoy these writeups. Really makes the project come alive.

Ooo, you can do that?

Wow, that’s a very passive aggressive reaction. I enjoyed a lot.

Busted.

this is a man who ran afowl of his home country’s laws about pornography.

Afoul, surely?

The icon for media reminds me of a bidet on a floor plan.

That would be something… Blow up that ridiculous palace Putin has, maybe even with him included. That would certainly cause some turmoil.

These are great writeups.

It’s all about projecting strength, especially towards women, bonus points if they’re not white.

Despite corruption, try looking for which parties spread the least hatred. That’s a good start, surely?

I enjoyed this exchange, thank you.

Strange how it isn’t on f-droid… I’ve come to expect all open-source apps to be on there, probably naively.

Oof, self-immolation is a horrific way to go that I wouldn’t wish on anyone, but a teen… Oof.

While there’s something to be said for Android vs iPhone from an ideological standpoint, that also doesn’t apply for KDE and Gnome, both of which are OSS, bay-bee

I thought all third party apps already stopped working?

That’s some commitment

The rabid fascism, I imagine.

Would you?
