Blowing up fossil fuel infrastructure would only create more environmental damage. Instead the best course of action is to murder the executives and politicians that allow/subsidize them

The whole thing especially pisses me off because the original video was meant to criticize misogyny

nah cmon get some more sleep, trust me you're gonna constantly feel like shit otherwise

This kinda resonates with me, but I also know some people who are genuinely really nice but also believe in crackpot theories, like there's this thrift store owner in my town who donates a ton of his earnings to a disability charity and runs a food bank in his store and everything, but he's also been convinced by the internet that the moon landings were fake and a bunch of protests were staged by the government

Crazy-ish idea, but maybe Lemmy could make a feature where instances can have custom awards similar to Reddit gold and stuff, and users can buy them to both award posts they like and financially support the instance host

MPD + Cantata
For the most part I just lump all my music into one playlist regardless of album or genre, but day to day I also use several different computers, and I find MPD to be the best for syncing configurations across all of them. Cantata also allows me to see album artwork and track information really easily and has good touchscreen support compared to terminal-based MPD clients.

Oh damn I’m sorry to hear about that, hoping things get better for you

idk if this helps but when there’s too much noise outside or too much stress inside I like to put on the radio quietly to drown it out, there’s something about being tuned into static-laden local broadcasts that makes me feel less lonely and more connected, not caught in the crazy buzz of the global internet but also not wallowing away by myself. It’s very comforting for me.

Absolutely splendid, this is going in my art reference folder

Oh god as a vintage camera collector spanner screws are the bane of my existence

Damn that’s very poetic, instead of bringing the rover home we eventually brought home to it

Still rocking a salvaged IBM X61 here! Got me through high school and it’s getting me through college. Makes an excellent no-distractions writing machine, sometimes I also use it as a second display for reference images when I’m doing art

vintage sci-fi vibes. nice shot!

Lovely shot! I really like the colour composition, the colour scheme also kind of reminds me of old film

Everything else you said is on-point, but I will not let you badmouth airships. Those things are cool as fuck and a lot of their bad rep comes from long-standing misconceptions (especially surrounding the Hindenburg disaster).
Just take a look at this page. It has a ton of useful info that you’ll likely find interesting, especially if you enjoy going down TVTropes rabbit holes.

Me with my friend group of two genderfluid friends—one pan one ace—also a cis transmasc, and also a bi girl (I am a “straight” ally)

Proud owner of both an iPod classic and an iPod Shuffle! I use both on the daily in order to avoid being on my phone too much.

Looks so cozy!

I’m an art school student who writes creative fiction and messes around with old electronics, so I wouldn’t really say I have a technical background. Work-wise I’ve mostly just done art/editing commissions or taught at studios. I’m just kind of tired of mainstream social media so I’m taking refuge in the Fediverse, and I’m liking it a lot so far
