@baldur True. 😞 Hopefully, SmugMug can restore it to its former glory.

@baldur Cool! I think that's great news. I might just start using Flickr again. 😃

@Laurelai Ah. Lots of interesting things to talk about then. :)

@k KDE is awesome these days! I have been running it since 3.x, though I swtiched away during 4.0 - 4.3.

KDE is very stable, refined, resource efficient, and beautiful. Of course, one can also still customise it any which way.

In my experience, Fedora KDE spin is the best KDE distribution, with OpenSuSE a fairly close second. Fedora is the most polished and stable KDE distribution that I have used (basically zero issues ever).

I run KDE on my main work and home laptops.

@bea @Canageek @chr @mirzaba Yah. I really don't like the voting on Reddit. It actually stifles meaningful conversations.

@tessaracht 😄

@tessaracht . . . and take over the world. 🙂

Esmé Patterson is so cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyWPi8_7Ix8

@tessaracht Bleh. I am trying to do the same. I am what I am. :)

@tessaracht Yes, Vancouver! My partner and I have been looking for all the cool trans, non-binary, femme, etc. queer people in town. It's hard, even though we've been here a long time -- the biggest and easiest to find part of the LGBTQ+ community here seems to be cis gay men. That's cool, though I'd like to also meet people like myself. Maybe we'll have a coffee or a drink some time. :)

@Laurelai BTW, where are you located, generally? I'm in Canada. I mostly talk and read about a lot of Canadian politics and such, though the US has definitely got my attention lately. So I talk about US affairs quite a bit as well. 😧

@tessaracht That sucks. I don't know why some people are like that.

I'm trying to accept that I might get clocked forever as well. It doesn't happen to me a lot (I think), but I'm preparing myself for the possibility that it will happen with like 10 - 30% of people for ever.

It seems to me that voice can be a big help with blending in. It's just so hard to train. :/

@HerraBRE Okay. 🙂

@HerraBRE @zash Maybe I did misread you, and miss the only point you were making. Isn't Google + what you just described though?? 🤔

@Laurelai Hi. Cool! 😀

@tessaracht Ugh. I get this a lot because my voice is still pretty guy sounding. I'm trying to train it but I don't practise enough. 😕

For what it's worth, that doesn't seem like transphobia per se. Maybe she just didn't know who she was talking to.

@tessaracht @Laurelai Such BS. Can you contest their judgement on that? I have been reporting transphobia on Twitter quite a bit over the last few months, and they actually have suspended or banned the accounts I reported (as they should have, though I was still surprised). They also recently suspended a well known nazi for transphobic comments.

@HerraBRE @zash Hmm. Well, they did already do it, and they did fuck it up. I think that this didn't spring to your mind is evidence that they didn't do a very good job with G+, and its integration with Gmail. 😄 It was like the Ford Flex of social networks.
