It wasn’t my dumb idea.

I will as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

Wasn’t my choice. I was 10.

Yes. I felt that this community wasn’t getting much activity, and some of the art being posted (while good) was not quite weirdcore. I thought that, by posting all of this, I could help sway the community back in the right direction.

Maybe I’m wrong. Idk.

When I went to the gender shop in 2006, I think I picked up two genders stuck together by mistake.

Possibly the best mistake I ever made.

Are you having a stroke?

Even better!

For those who aren’t going to read the post, the Gulabi Gang is a gang of women in India who track down and beat abusive husbands with brooms sticks.

I have installed Linux on all four of my laptops, and I’m hoping to migrate from my iPhone to a Pixel with DivestOS as soon as I move out of my parents’ house (I’m currently 17), or sooner if possible.

I have also swapped many web apps for desktop apps, and my music collection has been based around CDs and DRM-free files since it started in 2016. In addition, I still use DVDs, VHS tapes, and (to a lesser extent) good old-fashioned Torrents for my films and TV shows.

If the internet becomes altogether too bad, there’s always Gemini. Making web apps is trickier, but entirely feasible.

I think there was also a federated social media site on Gemini, which could interact with Mastodon, but I can’t find it.

Now THIS is epic!

• It’s fast
• It’s FOSS
• It’s private
• It supports accounts
• It has an app
• It can play YouTube Music tracks
• The UI is pretty nice

Very well done, everyone! Please accept a star on GitHub.
