nina's little fedi corner

red hat people be like "oh yeah, next fedora is dropping gnome x11 session for no real reason but it's ok, if you use a screen reader you can always switch to a different desktop or not upgrade" c'mon...

it's always really funny when i see positive comments about chimera claiming all sorts of stuff that i never really even had in mind or thought of or whatever

it's also kinda sad to see other (or sometimes the same) people picking it up due to being really angry at something that we happen to not use

sorry, it's not meant to be that deep or anything... it's mostly just a result of one girl once deciding to make a thing she'd enjoy using as much as possible and do the same for other people as well and have some fun together making something that is there for everyone wanting that kinda thing

unix philosophy? systemd? bikeshedding coreutils? arguing what's the most bsd-like? it's all just really tiresome...

today is an urban/industrial structures day...

a small selected assortment of pics (i took lots) from the washington park arboretum with @cathos yesterday (thanks :3)

i really dislike techposting and getting annoyed at software these days but the blatant disregard for others that some people have, even more so when mutually breaking stuff within the same org, is really disappointing

"nuh uh, it's the other piece of our own software, i don't care that like 10000 different things use it that way"

please...

i promised i'd take pics on scuffed oreo lens today and i did so here's some in 2 parts

:3

tomorrow i will only use this scuffed 32mm f/8 single element lens to capture my day

did more walking today~

went downtown and looked at things

ate a lobster roll because i'm silly and thought the idea of having something from the opposite side of the country was kinda funny

have two pics i thought were cute~

tried taking pics at night with basically no light...

have some uh, "artistic" shots :3

today i took a bunch more but have a few random ones~

i still don't really get those who consider anarchism to be something to let you push your own selfish individual desires, feels so wrong and misguided

to me it's something where the goal is to prioritize happiness and wellbeing of others without being constrained by oppressive legal systems

my walk today in photo thread of 6 parts time

(sorry about no alt texts but these are mostly visual and it probably wouldn't really help...)

found a really cute park in seattle near where i am staying, the kind that's basically all growth and small scattered paths here and there, and it's very steep and all the way down there is a very long beach and i took so many pictures already :3

mew :3

how i season stews:

1) take random spices from the rack
2) smell them and dump in some amount
3) repeat until tasty

mew~

i'm probably too intoxicated right now so i should have checked these tomorrow but have some pics i took tonight...

hm, it's kinda weird...

on one hand i am consistently disappointed with all the shit that is happening pretty much all the way through our history and very much these days and at this very moment, and there are so many awful people around and it keeps propagating and it's like it is never going to end, and it probably will not, not within my lifetime anyway

but also, i do want only the best for everyone, i want everyone to be able to enjoy whatever makes them happy, without being judged or having to be afraid, i want everyone to consider that one does not even have to do anything in particular or achieve something or whatever to "matter", because it is not like we have some kind of inherent purpose to fulfill and the only thing that is truly important is whatever one considers important for themselves

somehow i can't really apply it to myself because i am broken and my mind will try its hardest to convince me i suck at least on some level, but that is just what it is and who knows, maybe it will get better at some point, gotta deal bit by bit...

meh it's all hard, i do not even know why i am writing this down, just felt like it i guess...

anyway i do love you all, you are great and deserve the best and this is like a place where i can dump the contents of my mind and not have to give a shit too much and that is pretty cool

so my last aliexpress packet arrived and it has some fun stuff

one is the oreo cookie lens, look at how flimsy it is :3 it was like 10€ and it only contains one optical element... and it's a resin lens lol, the rest is all plastic too, and there is no focusing ring because it's focus-free

the other is a meike 35mm fully manual lens for ef-m, because i like shooting 35mm with this camera and my ef 35mm with an adapter is a bit chonky, it cost 40€ and is a super nice metal lens with a manual aperture ring and focus ring and no electronics, it's actually very comfy and cute

here is the oreo first

can kde plasma not always mess up all my gnome settings (theme/sound/cursor/etc) immediately upon startup whenever i need to test a new update please...
