Okay, no. She is a metal *powerhouse*. Holy shit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3Am...

Gris@grislyboar· 1d

Okay, why didn't anyone tell me that someone figured out how to give Teto vocal fry and make her do metal screams? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kppm...

I had to do it.

Most people don't learn to play guitar by learning music theory. They learn by downloading tabs of their favorite songs and learning to play those. They learn by having fun and doing what they want, then the mastery of fundamentals comes later. Exhibit A: @joshrezz on TikTok discovers Crowbar.

"Which beginner distro should I-"

Mint.

"But I heard about-"

Mint.

"Yeah, but I would really like to-"

Mint does that.

"My PC has an Nvidia GPU and-"

Mint has a driver install utility.

"Cinnamon?"

Yep. It's a really nice desktop environment. I have no bad things to say about it."

"Hey, uh... So I set up everything and installed the correct Nvidia drivers and I'm still having issues with gaming for some reason. Is there another distro I can try?"

*sigh* Okay, Gotcha. You'll want to try Bazzite. That's the most user-friendly one that's centered around gaming. If you're more of a power user and don't mind the terminal, EndeavourOS and CachyOS are fantastic, too. All three of them use KDE Plasma, which is basically Cinnamon on steroids. Excellent desktop environment. Can't go wrong with it.

"Thanks! Anything else?"

Nope, that should cover it. Have fun!

...

"Hey, my friend watches Linus Tech Tips, and he told me I should try Pop!OS because-"

NO.

My tech support experience is admittedly limited mostly to helping friends and calling the helpdesk on behalf of coworkers. But I noticed there's a lot of not-so tech literate users out there who know what they're talking about, but lack words to express it. Like, they don't really know *how* their computer works, but they're smart enough to intuit when something is not right. And oftentimes, they get blown off by the support rep when they genuinely need help fixing something that broke on them. And this is doubly true if it's a woman who's calling for help.

Even with as many idiot assholes there are out there, more often than not it pays to respect the average user's intelligence. They're not willfully ignorant, nor are they stupid. They simply struggle to put technological concepts to words. And the willingness to bridge that gap in communication is something that's needs to become more common.

Seriously. If it wasn't for YouTubers putting comprehensive tutorials together, I would have struggled so much more with Linux than I have. Anyone who's learned Linux before the past couple of years knows what it's like to search up a problem and get an Ask Ubuntu page or Reddit thread with a response either A. calling the user an idiot for not knowing something or B. posting incomprehensible walls of code. Hell, the Arch Wiki is a fantastic resource, but it's not comprehensive to someone who only knows how to install software and update their system with apt.

All you need to do is not be a jerk if they're not being a jerk to you.

My Shadow the Hedgehog headcanon is even though he isn't an edgelord like he's often portrayed in fanon, he absolutely loves edgelord shit.

So much that he has a dedicated edgelord room that looks like a Hot Topic circa 2002.

So much that he will scour eBay and flea markets for old juggalo merch.

So much that the Holy Grail of his music collection is an original self-released burned CD of "Please Remain Seeded" from 1999 that he spent years tracking down.

I have been pitching this game for quite some time to anyone who would be interested, mostly because it's a wonderful game that deserves a bigger audience. But there is something special about it that I didn't fully understand the importance of until now, and I can tell you exactly what it is without spoiling anything:

The story and true ending of Nine Sols is a much needed vaccine against despair. And Story Mode makes that vaccine accessible to pretty much anyone who can pick up a controller.

That's it.

Okay, did a little digging and this is definitely a GenAI user pretending to not use GenAI. He posted a fake photo with a dog. Then the same one sans dog, stretched, filter to hide the obvious daylight, fake Beastars on the TV, and a fake hand holding fake Monster with blurry text. Block him.

GenAI "photo" of a room with planters and a husky, originally posted by rowanthehusky08.bsky.social pretending to be a human who owns a dog.

The same "photo" with the husky removed, cropped and stretched horizontally, with a superimposed fake can of monster with blurry fake text on it, and a fake screenshot of Beastars with Legoshi going toe to toe with some non-furry bald dude. I think there's a character from The legend of Korra or some shit in the background. It was posted by rowanthehusky08.bsky.social pretending to be a normal human who likes Beastars and Monster Energy.

If you are queer and kink negative, here you go:

A silhouette of a trophy over a picture of Ernst Röhm, the prominent, openly gay Nazi who was executed by Hitler's regime the moment his respectability politics stopped being useful for the Third Reich.

On it is text that reads "The Ernst Röhm Award For Excellence In Collaboration." It is to be given to queer folk who embody the ideology of "I'm not like those other degenerates, I'm one of the good ones," as if it would save them from the fascists who wish to do us harm. Trust me when I say that for the fascists, it doesn't matter how respectable you try to be. You'll still get sent to the camps with the rest of us.

More accurately, execs are swinging at one nail labeled "massive profit" from every single angle they can think of. The problem is that the handle is made of soft, floppy rubber. So they keep flailing wildly, desperate to drive the nail in while destroying everything around it.

And if you point out why nobody uses hammers with floppy handles, they call you a luddite who doesn't understand technology.

Gris@grislyboar· Mar 28

Linux based? Hell yeah it is!

Lol, they blocked me after I pointed out that the Amaterasu art wasn't GenAI and that they weren't helping artists by accusing them.

A screenshot meme of Danny Mahoney from Comedy Bang! Bang!

He is wearing glasses with an incredulous expression on his face. At the bottom there's a caption with a fake phone number reading "555-COME-ON-NOW."

Tuesday? Hold up. You may have just explained a deeper layer to J. Wellington Wimpy's "Tuesday" running joke. "I would like a hamburger, for which I'll gladly pay you Tuesday." wasn't just a gag about a broke man handing an IOU. He was indirectly saying he wasn't paying this whole time!

J. Wellington Wimpy from Popeye, a portly man in a black suit with a red tie, and a small yellow hat with a belt to match. He has a thin mustache and thinner hair.

He is smiling, with a hamburger in his hand. The burger has a single bite out of it, and he's about to take another. He will gladly pay you for it on Tuesday, or so he tells any sucker working in a diner or at a food stand.

Gris@grislyboar· Mar 13

Not a phone, but you know what does have a little loop for lanyards and charms on the bottom? Sony Walkman NW-A55.

Incredible. An LLM could never. youraislopbores.me

A capture of me prompting a human posing as an "AI" for a drawing.

My prompt: Draw a hat in a cat.

The human "AI" response: a crude MSPaint drawing of a dog.

My silly ass trying to write an erotic novel:

A four-panel comic I edited in GIMP featuring Snoopy on top of his dog house with a typewriter, trying to write something.

First panel: "Jane was a mercenary, and her pussy juice had subtle hints of Irish whiskey and pipe tobacco. That made it all the more surprising that she was a bottom."

Second panel: "And with the way she fucked, she must've had a hell of a body count."

Third panel: Snoopy pauses briefly to look at his work.

Fourth panel: "That is, in regards to the people she's had sex with. Not the other one."

Fact: Neither do you.

Valve confirmed that the AI bubble chip shortage is why we don't have a release date for the new Steam hardware yet. store.steampowered.com/news/group/4...

When we announced these products in November, we planned on being able to share specific pricing and launch dates by now. But the memory and storage shortages you've likely heard about across the industry have rapidly increased since then. The limited availability and growing prices of these critical components mean we must revisit our exact shipping schedule and pricing (especially around Steam Machine and Steam Frame).

"My Boss Murdered Me 500 Years Ago After Discovering her Evil Plot— Now All my Coworkers Must Die Alongside Her in the Name of Ethics in Science!"

The cover art for Nine Sols

A jade floor littered with wires, circuits, and a pool of blood. Standing is a figure in flowing yellow robes over a black bodysuit, with his head obscured by the art's border.

His face is reflected upside-down in the blood, with a fairy-like object floating next to him. He is an anthropomorphic cat.

His name is Yi. He is one of the Ten Sols, and he seeks revenge on the other nine who tried to kill him hundreds of years ago.

When you're already raggedy and she's still on your Andy.

A funny out-of-context still from Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure from 1977.

Raggedy Andy is being tickled, and is making an expression that can only be described as him pogging out of his mind. His eyes seem to be looking in two different directions and his mouth is wide open. There's a definite air of shock and pleasure in his visage.

For such a lovely, saccharine film, it definitely has its kinky side.

Gris@grislyboar· Dec 27

Just stop. You've already dug yourself a huge hole and posting through it isn't going to fix that you compared trans medicine to "race science." Just stop and move the fuck on. You're not going to explain yourself and come out of this better understood.

Gris@grislyboar· Dec 27

You did, in fact, say that. What way were we supposed to take this, hmm?

Quote from Ezekiel Bones @jjofbc.bsky.social

There are characteristics of sex like chomosones that are immutable

Which is why I feel it is very foolish for trans people to invest in this medical fiction to validate their identity

Give it 20 yrs and gender science will be seen like "race science"

This precious boy from Nine Sols:

A character from the beautiful indie Sekiro like game Nine Sols. He is an anthropomorphic cat with white fur, wearing a crimson robe trimmed with gold, and a hat trimmed with gold and jade. On the front of his hat, a jade eye looks outward. His ears are pinned back by the hat, and he has a jovial expression on his face. His eyes are closed.

He is adorable and I would absolutely kill for him.
