I accidentally spilled a whole cup of coffee over my personal laptop last weekend, and it didn't survive.

So today I went out and got a Macbook Air, which is my first macOS device in a long time.

I've been exploring macOS and: what even is the Mac App Store? All the apps that I wanted, weren't on it (i.e. Thunderbird, VS Code, Nextcloud, iTerm 2, KeePassXC).

I'd think all Mac apps want to be on the store? They're on almost everyone else's app stores, but not so easy to install on macOS.

A question for those who use : when somebody writes a long sentence all in capital letters (in their post or ), does your screen reader spell out every letter of every word and sound obnoxious?

I imagine it would for short acronyms but I wonder if it determines a capitalized sentence is made of real words and pronounces them correctly.

Sometimes I want to reblog something but hesitate if they write too much in all caps (which I see in web comics especially).

Ugh I'm exhausted from fighting with cis white men about recognizing coded white supremacist hand signals and I've only been doing it for an hour. How horrible it must be to be a Black person who has to do this kind of shit every day.

@toplesstopics I'd like to find a better word than "nudist" that I could identify with instead, because I also butt heads with "mainstream nudists" on the homophobia thing.

Aside from the bit where many AANR resorts fly the racist confederate flag, most such resorts also have a "no single men" policy and they consider a gay couple to be "two single men" and won't allow them in. So if they aren't being blatantly homophobic, their policy still basically is, much like their racist stance I guess.

One of the things I've struggled to get used to is NOT needing to have a very structured hierarchy of folders and files with strict naming conventions with literally everything I do. I'm sure this goes back to my original DOS days running on a PC with a 40 meg HDD that demanded I keep an eye on EVERYTHING. And was perpetuated by Windows Explorer file search being so slow and shitty. And the same for Outlook email search. But search--everywhere--has gotten so much better. It's hard to let go.

@jay I still meticulously organize things into folder trees, but it's because in the GNU/Linux world, file search still is rather awful.

And the fact that they try to search my files, makes it even worse. I like to be able to navigate my folders by typing a couple letters to select it and hit enter. When I run GNOME, the file browser doesn't work that way and typing always means search, but it takes like a minute to show results. A simple browser + my folder structure is faster for me still.

    It took me too long in life to realize that my name over the phone (Noah) can sound like "no one" and people think I'm being a smartass and got mad at me. 😅

    As in "what was your name again?" or "may I ask who's calling?" and they hear "no one" and I was fully 20-something years old when it suddenly made sense why people on the phone got weird with me sometimes!

    I tried to play in this Debian. There are no sounds. The game is too old to play sounds through I thought it would use the emulation, like other noise-making programs do. No! this is NOT a bug report or complaint. Let's see what audacity will do.

    @wx1g I'm not sure about Pipewire but I remember PulseAudio included backwards compatible emulation for the ALSA and OSS sound systems so nearly any legacy old app not updated in the last 20 years would still play audio today. 🤔 Whether these modern sound systems still enable that emulation may be a factor here - the devs might have thought it's been long enough and "most" apps are updated and they don't need that emulation anymore?

    So! I have Ubuntu with Gnome installed. Immediately I have an issue, that I would probably only be able to describe by showing. Basically, what happens is that in a lot of apps, Gnome Settings mainly, Orca kind of explodes and acts like what NVDA acts like if it loses it's keyboard hook. This is a problem because I'm trying to pair a bluetooth keyboard, but I can't flat review the dialog to read the code or anything like that. Annoyingly, it reads everything else in the dialog except for that.

    @wx1g @fireborn @Bryn Way back when GNOME 3.0 first dropped, I switched to the Xfce desktop. At first it was a downgrade compared to GNOME 2 (what would later become MATE). But Xfce had since improved, at its slow and gradual pace. I recently tried MATE, remembering how much I loved GNOME 2, but then remembered that GNOME 2 had some papercuts that I had just learned to live with back then and I found Xfce to be the nicer desktop.

    I'd always configured Xfce to resemble GNOME 2 and it works well!

    @wx1g @fireborn @Bryn I use the default Thunar for file manager. I haven't tried caja but have sometimes tried alternatives like Nemo and Nautilus.

    So far I've liked Thunar the best: I can begin typing a filename and it highlights the match and I can get deep into a folder tree easily. Nautilus and some others annoy me there: typing makes it do a big fat filesystem search that takes seconds to come back and slows me down. I think my only gripe with Thunar is lack of samba smb:// browsing.

    It's frustrating sometimes that as a cis female, I am only qualified to give my own limited take on . I often say, "what more clearly demonstrates the nonsense of than how is applied to and people? At what point do you "look female" or "look male" enough to lose or gain the right to post your online without them getting banned?"

    I struggle with figuring out the verbiage to point out this hypocrisy without it sounding like I'm making assumptions about how non-CIS female-presenting people feel about this. I know posting your nipples on the internet or going without a shirt at the beach/park/gym/etc anywhere that a CIS man would be allowed to without any problem can be embarrassing if not dangerous--at the least, ostracizing friends and family, maybe losing your job; at the most, getting jail time (see the woman in Utah who was charged with "child abuse" for briefly being topless in front of her adolescent step kids while changing out of a drywall-covered shirt) or stalked/physically endangered. It's a big "toothpaste out of the tube" moment that many people don't have the privilege of exercising in protest. So of course I don't blame people for their reluctance to brazenly put their heinous "female-looking nipples" out there for the judgemental, puritanical world to see like I do.

    It's just that, as I said at the start, there's only so much I can say about this as a CIS woman. How can I encourage more people who are not CIS to also talk about this, even if they don't show their own nipples?

    (I apologize if I've used any problematic terms here--I'm honestly trying my best)

    @phoenixashes76 @toplesstopics A good example of this is when you can find a video showing what goes into a top surgery for a trans woman. When her nipples still look male enough, no need to censor or blur it - but somewhere along the process, the censors decide the nipples finally look female enough and out comes the blur.

    Just a few of the pretty flowers that came with my house. These hydrangeas are coming in all my favorite colors. One bush of them are all bright blue and the others are mixtures of pink or purple flowers.

    A less zoomed-in view of the blue hydrangeas from the previous picture: every flower on this bush is the same vibrant blue color.

    The raspberry bush that took over my entire side yard is now poppin with berries. I grabbed a small bowlful in about 5 minutes out there.

    A close-up of the small bowl of berries I picked this afternoon - just enough for a nice snack.
