@coolboymew I must admit I like neither, but at least the former style had some personality to it. The other is just bland (and genuinely looks like a boy in a wig).

@eSheep With NewPipe you can download the videos in-app, but I seem to remember you used mpv to watch them, so you probably have some cool workflow fit for use with RSS and yt-dlp. I hope you don't lose it.

@coolboymew A few days ago, you complained about some character design and, when I saw the screenshots you posted, I thought the same thing.

@coolboymew Is it just me or there is a trend lately of drawing female characters that look like boys wearing wigs?

@eSheep If it helps, I'm not sure that's the reason, but I'm seeing other people experiencing the same thing. It might just be a temporary glitch. We can only hope.

@freemo I used ‘believing’ on purpose. It's some sort of irrational, almost pathological, quasi-religious and childish notion. Their heads probably work like this: “If I can't see them, that means I've defeated them. I'm a hero(ine). The world is a safer place thanks to me.”

@bonifartius

@freemo For some reason, believing they had the last word makes them think they won the discussion. That also explains the reaction of the covid dude earlier today.

@bonifartius

@skyblond Someone, obviously uncorrupted by knowledge, didn't think that through.

I am still looki g for top notch programmers and data scientists to hire for 100% remote. Hit me up. Open source contributors get top consideration.

Charles Dickens ya se mofó de la cultura woke (escribió una 'Cenicienta' políticamente correcta)

El escritor se quejó de los intentos por modificar los cuentos infantiles en un artículo de 1853, recogido en una recopilación de sus escritos periodísticos que ahora publica Gatopardo bajo el título 'Pasiones públicas, emociones privadas'

One day, we will all be just pictures on a phone.

@louis@emacs.ch I'm not, and it's because they don't seem (to me) to be doing any meaningful work anymore. They fell so behind the times. They don't care about mobile applications or operating systems; they don't care about hardware, either. They just became some sort of NGO-like bureaucratic entity, only worried about licenses.

With their name recognition, they still have time to start doing some real work, like promoting computer literacy through programming courses for children and adults, or writing mobile applications; but they're becoming obsolete really fast. I wouldn't want to pay a fee to someone just to write essays on the Internet or whatever it is they do now.

@jaxwxboss Some people enjoy virtue signalling much more than being actually virtuous.

@BitBun Sorry for highjacking the thread, but are you leaving honorifics untranslated? If so, why? (I was reading a previous page and noticed that Chiyo-chan came out as “little Chiyo”.)

I'm only asking out of curiosity.
