    i still remembe needing to wait literal hours at the gate every damn time. we were never even close to late. they were always panicking. i don’t understand it…

    it’s not just parents either. some people are just like that when they travel. I’ve tried going places with friends that made it absolutely miserable as an adult because they were fucking panicking the whole time until we sat on the plane. i swear some people have never dealt with a deadline before or something. don’t know how to deal with a clock ticking down i guess.



  • yeah, I’ll agree. the tech communities in there are not like that. it’s the political ones.

    an example: they’ll say something off the wall about the Ukraine war and American support for it, you’ll reply with something that mentions the Americans that support and don’t support it among many other things, they’ll dog pile you for using the word “liberal” with the common American definition because apparently linguistic drift is illegal. theynever get off the subject and then never actually tell you their definition and how it differs.

    that’s every political discussion with anyone from .ml involved. if it was just their own communities it would be fine, but it’s that they go out and do that with every community that doesn’t defederate.

    imagine it this way; what if “the Donald” had broken off Reddit later and made one of the largest lemmy instances. they were perfectly cordial when you were in their funny dog pictures community, but they constantly act like trump supporters in every political thread.
    obviously we’d all defederate with them. very few world even question that at this point.

    that’s what this is. they’re just loud, and extreme, and annoying on this one subject. we’d rather not see the Linux main community hold us captive against excising the problem.


  • to me it was more the straw that broke the camel’s back. every rude and unreasonable interaction i have in here is with someone from .ml. it’s not even about their politics or beliefs, they’re just not pleasant to have around.

    the second you try to engage them they throw the real arguments out for pedantry about definitions and using that to call people dumb instead of actually having meaningful discussion about ideas. they’re the worst kind of “it’s not my job to explain it to you, Google it” people too. like, i get the mindset, but it’s just not going to change anyone’s heart or mind. it’s not how you actually win an argument.

    every person on Lemmy.ml argues like an annoying 14 year old atheist that just discovered Internet arguments and the think whole Internet is Christian. they’re just shitty to be around and basically never add anything meaningful to a discussion other than “you’re wrong and dumb”

    that’s why i said they were like military pants but short lol

    it’s still the same style of pants and that’s still how they’re described, theses ones are just cut into shorts. military is just the term for the style of pants worn in dress uniforms. it doesn’t mean every pair of pants in that cut are used by the military.



  • it’s also damn slow and destructive if you’re trying to fit it into a true professional workflow with deadlines. i work with programs like it professionally and I only use gimp when i find myself on a random computer that doesn’t have anything else. it’ll get the job done, pretty much any job, but it might be very slow and painful. as someone who DEFINITELY knows how to use gimp, i understand the op they’re clowning more than i understand the 1 peer i know that’s actually managing to make money with a fully foss workflow. I also happen to know he largely doesn’t sleep to accomplish it.

    gimp and darktable and similar projects are great, but workflow efficiency is what they do after they finish adding features. that just never happens. it’s not the exciting work.

    brother that was over a decade ago. that change happened almost a quarter of the internet’s lifespan ago.

    they did that in 2009. YouTube only existed in that state for 2 years. so like 90% of YouTube’s existence has not included the star rating.










  • hmmm idk, i disliked the live action because of the acting and writing on cowboy bebop. i also don’t think three was any reason to make that live action. it felt like a soulles cash grab.

    compare that to say the one piece live action, or the last of us series, or even twisted metal. those were all shows that adapted things well while also changing a lot. it’s fine to adapt things to a be medium and tell your own story, just don’t expect a free pass if that story you tell is worse than the material you were given. like the Witcher, for example. that shouldn’t have even been that hard. it wasn’t actually a video game adaptation. it was supposed to adapt the books. but then they just went and did their own story with the characters that just wasn’t very good… certainly not nearly as good as the source material.

    i think that’s what frustrates me sometimes. when an adaptation just doesn’t hold up to the source. the cowboy bebop lie action wasn’t that bad, but the anime was fucking incredible. in a few years everyone will forget they even did a live action of it. it just wasn’t really worth remembering.




  • man was dissociating during a work zoom call while thinking about dissociating and whether it was “dissociating” or “dissasociating”. he was pulled from his daydream by the person in the call asking him if Thursday was good. then they’re all waiting for his answer and he doesn’t even know what was asked.
