Com o fim do suporte ao #Windows10, tenho visto um número cada vez maior de pessoas frustradas com o #Windows11 e se dizendo interessadas em migrar para o #Linux. Por isso, escrevi um artigo sobre o tema, onde discuto os motivos por trás de tanta frustração, porque a migração é cada vez mais atraente e dou algumas dicas para evitar transtornos na jornada.

when the tea leaves read you back

@tea #tea

A ceramic cup resting in some weeds. There is a little bit of amber-colored tea left in the cup with some tea leaf dust that has settled at the bottom. The ratio of the tea leaf dust and tea make it look like a pupil and iris so the whole cup looks like an eye.

Does anyone know any good trans illustrators I could commission?

It's for a sticker idea I have, but I can't draw people.

Nearly three quarters of disabled adults have abandoned a product they were going to buy because it didn’t meet their needs. Samsung UK and One Poll surveyed 1,000 adults with invisible and visible disabilities, and 72% said they’d abandoned a purchase due to a product’s lack of accessibility.

We can't believe we need to say this, but…

your files are yours.

The #Inkscape project will never peek at your files, and what's yours stays on your computer.

From a scale of toxicity, Threads seems to be inheriting all the arseholes from Twitter, Bluesky is fairly benign and Mastodon is the most stimulating of the three.

Conversation isn't the same on the 3 platforms. Here, it's more sincere and slightly nerdier. Threads thrives on reposts of viral content. Bluesky is very "hi, A/S/L?" atm.

I have seen Mastodrama and Threadstrolls, Bluesky feels just not useful enough to being worthwhile for trolls. Well, there was the Jack-leaving-shitposting.

@Lana I wholeheartedly agree.

Não tenho nem *roupa* pra esse evento, mas vamos lá: hoje de noite, o Pacotão Solidário (90 jogos de desenvolvedores brasileiros) para apoiar o Rio Grande do Sul vai entrar na loja Frame. O Superfan Pack do One Night in Kawami está entre eles.

Apoie nossos vizinhos do Sul pelo poder dos jogos ❤️

I was prepping dinner and the #kitten was circling my feet, meowing "I want". I say:

-Pandora, that's salad. Cats don't like salad. See? This is a tomato! (shows piece of tomato)

Pandora LICKS the tomato as if it were a snack. Starts meowing again.

-Kitten, it's SALAD! See, this is lettuce.

Scarfs down the lettuce, begs for more.

Just what I needed, a #vegan #cat. 😅
