  • To be clear, I didn’t downvote you for answering my question, that would be dumb and shitty

    I think if someone looks queer and androgynous and is wearing cammo mashed up with other stuff, I think it’s usually pretty clear they’re not a military wannabe 😅

    I wore this later that day cause the conversation got me thinking about camo in outfits- I don’t think I look like a military wannabe, I look like a twink wearing a sports bra 😅



  • Thank you for explaining your perspective.

    I do think there should be room for playing with the aesthetics that make up our world without them always being a political or societal critique though.

    Everything that exists was made by people and comes with the baggage of having been crafted by things as messy as we are. I think there should be room to play and enjoy how your clothe yourself even if it doesn’t fit into a narrative about your beliefs.

    Its wonderful when it does, but given that it’s a creative enterprise basically every human will participate in for tens of thousands of reps over the span of your life, I think looking at someone’s clothes and making a snap judgement on who they can be or what they can stand for because of what “playing with aesthetic” looks like for them is a bit silly

    We all draw lines, some imagery is intended to convey cruel meaning- I’m not about to play symbols designed to represent the oppression of certain people. But short of when people intentionally advertise a certain world view (with pride flags or swasticas or punk patches or various other ideological symbols intended to communicate who you are and what you stand for) it seems much more productive to judge people for the ideas they advocate and the impact they have on the world around them than the prints they think are fun for clothes.

    To me this feels like a similar fascet of hyper abstraction rather than engaging with substance 🤷


  • The only thing I really care about is my terminal having a slightly more approachable user friendly ux when I need to do things in the terminal that can’t be done graphically.

    I’m generally a fairly non-techincal (by linux community standards) design nerd. I’m not even sure what strucrued data would really mean, so I’m pretty sure it’s not useful to my usecase lol

    When I need to run random shell commands I found on the internet like the non-technical, bad-life-decision-maker that I am I can just run them through bash instead 🤷

    The only thing I miss from bash is things like !! Which I think fish is in the process of adding (there’s a keyboard shortcut that I think allows you to fill the same need but I find it harder to remember and have been having fun using opendoas in place of sudo, which the shortcut uses by default)









  • It’s still a little slow for me on android but I prefer it in spite of that. I prefer the interface over anything else I’ve tried. I wouldn’t mind jerboa if I could get full size link previews that look just like image posts, but I think that’s still not an option.

    I thought I was getting a bug with thunder but somehow it was actually a bug with my account- I’m grateful to have finally figured out how to see up and down votes again 😅




  • I’m glad you mentioned nushell (it sounds like) is a more poweruser thing. Someone recommended it in place of fish in another thread and I was curious to check it out, but it sounds like not at all what I want or need as a fish user and that saves me the trouble of trying to make heads or tails of a terminal tool I don’t understand

    But it looks like a cool project and I’m glad it exists for people like you! 😊
