  • I watched almost 10 minutes of a youtuber shilling it and my takeaway is “linux for Elon Musk”. The marketing was leaning heavily into “powered by the bedrock of archlinux. Use this and you can have honorary arch cred”. And like, no! As an arch user, I started on ubuntu. It took me years to gain the competencies to be an arch power user. And throughout my learning journey I had the loving embrace of an operating system that didn’t expect me to learn fucking keyboard shortcuts. It ships with a keyboard first tiling window manager, and those are HARSHLY unforgiving. I tried i3 after I’d already moved into my gentoo phase, and I still found it tough and ultimately did not stick with it, realising if I want a keyboard first workflow I can create shortcuts for my stacking window manager and still have the mouse to fall back on. That and its intentional 80s hacker aesthetic just REEKS of I use arch btw elitism. Trash distro. I don’t want ubuntu to stay the face of linux, but I’d rather the title go to an old guard like Fedora, not this poser.

    This wants to be the distro you use if you want people to think you’re vewy smart.

    Finding out its vibe coded and the creator is an Elon wannabe just reinforces my initial impressions





    • Kris from Deltarune and Frisk from Undertale are both non-binary, though they never tell us their agabs (fair)
    • Kirby, while using he/him pronouns in the english speaking world has always been genderless and even hangs out with the girls in a nintendo promotional panel where a bunch of nintendo’s female characters bake together. He is also seen in the equivilent nintendo boys content
    • The player character in hollowknight is some sort of eldrich thing pretending to be a child, so falls into the genderless monster trope
    • Cyberpunk famously allows you to create a custom character who is male, female or some combination of the two
    • Saint’s Row 2 has a gender slider where all the way to the left makes your boobs bigger and all the way to the right makes your dick bigger. I can only assume right in the middle to mean non binary.
    • Every saints row game between SR2 and SR2022 has plastic surgery clinics where you can change your gender pretty much at will as long as you have the money. SR2022 replaces with a pause menu item which is better for convenience but less fun from a worldbuilding standpoint.


  • There’s a certain type of person who takes pride in the fact they’ve never shoplifted while never having been close enough to the poverty line to know desparation. Who cannot understand the concept of genuine nessessity. Who thinks the hand people were dealt in life should not be considered in a moral measure of their character. For want of a better word, a privileged person.

    I don’t trust someone untested by life because there’s a strong chance they’ll heel turn the second something doesn’t go their way. Its easy to be generous when you have a billion dollars to give away if that makes sense



  • I trust someone who has fallen into darkness and returned to the light a lot more than I trust a paragon who has never known temptation. On its face. There are people who still carry the darkness with them. Trans women who didn’t stop being bullies but just chose more acceptable targets. But those of us who have hated and been shown hate is wrong… I think that’s a beautiful thing. What happened in your past is between you and your victims, and its up to you to make peace with them. But I’m not here to beat you up over actions you already know were stupid and wrong
