You may have picked the wrong instance then, because as the blahaj.zone instance admin, I actively remove "mean things". Words designed to harm others, whether it's bigotry, or harassment or insults, are not an "occupational hazard", they undermine the community and hurt folk when they're vulnerable.
Hateful words will get you banned here, and apologism for them and downplaying their impact is not welcome.
It's spam
Flatpak annoys me
CachyOS. I use it because I am a fan of Arch based systems, rolling releases etc, but CachyOS is optimised for my generation of hardware, and has lots of good default configurations for various apps. They have a customised proton version, a good default fish profile etc.
tl;dr It's Arch, but optimised, and slightly more pre-configured out of the box.
Nicolás Mihanovich, an abandoned cruise ship sits moored on the bank of Rio Iguazú, Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, at the apex of the borders between Argentina, Paraguay and Brasil.
It was originally designed as a luxury ferry between Argentina and Uruguay, but plans were made to turn it in to a floating Casino. The plans stalled, and now the ship sits, largely abandoned

The expression on that second birds face is meme worthy!

I'm not from Sydney, but I took this photo when I was there this weekend gone, and thought that I'd share it

I don't know about beautiful data. That's scary data :/
Artificial scarcity (invites) and VC funding
I'm the admin :P
I feel like I need to do more than just post a picture. In this case, the picture really does tell the story in a lot of ways, but still, there was a lot of pain and trauma that led me to this point.
I started off depressed and angry, lost in life, knowing what I needed to do, but feeling like it wasn't something I could do. And when I finally accepted that I could do it, years went in to it. A quick photo makes it look like a magical transformation, but there was close to 10 years between those photos, and a lot of self discovery, self exploration and pain. As well as joy, and surprises.
