  • yeah, that’s understandable. i’d never thought about it that way before.

    personally i use enby as a way to say that i am in the middle / don’t really care.

    i think the issue comes from the fact that saying non-binary means specifically non-{man,woman}. whereas i’ve always interpreted it as just non-“specific gender”.

    to me it’s the etc. of gender labels, but i realise that not everyone that i think it describes would want to identify with it.

    (and that means it becomes it’s own label, and now we have to figure out what to call everyone_else all over again. (maybe the whole idea of gender labels was rigged from the start))





  • source engine aesthetic was peak. i still love it, and nothing’s been able to replicate it. some games have tried, but the source feel is just unique.

    i always love stacking books in barney’s interrogation room and trying to shove as many objects as i can in to kleiner’s mini teleporter.

    i also remember having to wait for headcrabs to finish their death animation before i could move forward in hl1, so that’s fun :P



  • yeah. you’re right.

    it’s not like i blindly trust the votes to tell me what’s right and wrong, but they still influence my thoughts. i could just sort by new, but i feel like that’s almost as easy to manipulate.

    i guess it comes back to the topic of the post. where and how i get my information is always going to affect me.

    i’m sure other platforms are no better than lemmy with manipulating content, but maybe for different reasons. i just have to choose the right places to spend my time.











  • they are very similar. my only problem with hyprland was that the mouse is still required for some things, and it’s a bit annoying having to switch back and forth.

    on sway, everything can be done by keyboard. i still use the mouse a lot, but there’s less switching in the middle of tasks.

    it’s a little difference, but it was worth it for me.

    there’s also the drama about some people being transphobic (i think?) in the hyprland discord, but i try not to pay too much attention to that.

    hyprland accomplishes it’s goal of being pretty (and i got some really cool screenshots), but sway is pure functionality, and it’s damn good at it.


  • i feel a little more comfortable commenting here.

    being a smaller community, i feel like i’m actually contributing when i post something, instead of just adding to a sea of noise

    it also helps that i’ve come up with this new “persona”. i’m able to be more of the real me than i can with my main account.

    it’s like half way between anonimity and publicity. this account has very little connection to my meatspace existance, so i feel safe to say anything. but at the same time i’m not gonna act like some 4chan user. halfway_neko’s a good girl lol
