americans when they realize they belong to a community and not a capitality

wasn’t there an org that counted nazi soldiers killed by the red army, as well as aborted babies in socialist countries, as “victims of communism”?

extrapolating from the current state of the province, a post-empire-collapse quebec will be a catho-secular french supremacist theocracy before it forms any sort of socialism…

obligatory shilling for LocalSend, it’s airdrop except open-source and completely cross-platform!

it works for you because you got accustomed to it. cool! genuinely! but not everyone is a power user, not everyone will want to sift through documentation to find out how to do the thing they want that’s easy to do with word

from the non-techy people i’ve spoken to who’ve used libreoffice, they all agree that it’s worse than ms office because it gets in the way more. it’s harder to do stuff, because it’s less intuitive to them.

people in 3d modeling use blender. people in audio production use audacity. people in office work and schools, usually, do not use libreoffice, because if you can afford ms office it’s just better for them. maybe that will change with office now being ai-infested webviews held together with gum, javascript and ever increasing subscription prices… then again, that hasn’t slowed down adobe

imo the upcoming audacity 4 is an incredible example of open-source ui redesign, and should be an inspiration to everyone. the ui is sleeker, faster, easier to use, and yet it’s still familiar to existing users! but you can do good stuff without recreating the whole ui from scratch like they did, of course

it works, but it’s far from ideal. a lot of features are tucked away behind unintuitive context menus, and on some systems you need to do a bit of configuration for it to look right. for example, it uses bitmap icons by default, so if you use a hidpi screen the icons will look atrocious until you figure out how to switch them to vector icons.

and an ugly UI is a problem by itself. it’s uninviting, unwelcoming. it gives a feeling of jank, of amateurism, and not in a good way. if you open the app for the first time and immediately think “this looks like it was last updated in 2003”, it’s not a good thing.

i’m saying this because the nazis were greatly inspired by the usa’s genocide of Indigenous people for the holocaust, that’s why i wrote “partially” (as opposed to the Gaza genocide, where the usa’s responsibility is much more direct)

obviously I’m not denying the agency and responsibility of germany in the holocaust

it’s even (at least partially) responsible for the other two!

have had my phone for close to 5 years now. it could use a battery replacement, but other than that it’s perfectly fine, so im gonna keep it for as long as i can

and if that makes tim cook cry… so be it lol

erhm i’ll let you know that the soviet onion killed six hundred million bajillion stalinnion people so ☝️🤓

me, looking at a delicious bread untouched for a week

the scheming mold spot:

“largely unaffected”? these coups are how the US steals resources from south america!

you benefit from these coups every time you buy a banana or chocolate.

our education system is in ruins, our healthcare system is even worse, people can’t pay for housing and groceries, and despite tons of budget cuts everywhere the provincial debt has never been worse.

…but thankfully, the CAQ is here to fight the real issues: those darn Muslims doing childcare!!!

oh no the public prayer ban thing is 100%, wholly just Islamophobia. the people who want the ban have already said they’re fine with catholic public praying.

i’ll note that Muslims doing prayers in public in quebec started pretty recently, and most of it is grieving during pro-Palestine protests.

that’s what quebec wants to ban: people grieving for Palestine. it’s sickening

lmao catholic private schools receive public funds in quebec too

why do actual secularism when you could just attack Muslim people 🙃

you can, and you should

english has no authority that regulates the language, it’s up to us to do the spelling reforms

i spell it wensday :3

well, we know where we’re hosting Dashcon 3!

it’s convenient too, i was in need of new shoelaces!

sure, but you have to think about accessibility (like screen readers)

the iOS screen reader just read your last line as “sesides, it’s fun toe fuck around a ring little bit”
