I used alcohol markers by ohuhu, a permanent marker, acrylic paint, a napkin and my tears.
I was in a fugue state drawing this. If it is in any way upsetting, I will delete it.
Aw that's great. Yay! ^-^
Heck yes I want to join smolnet. - Making the migration slowly but surely. Oh that's what they're called. I did not know about the gopher and gemini protocols. Thank you!
He's had it up to here!
Omg that is awesome. Yes, all the writing apps. I can't wait. ^_^ I currently do use Scrivener on this device and I love it. I am down to try the older Scrivener app for linux. I saw a video on how it was installed, a bit of a finicky process but I'd say it's worth it. Thank you!
Oh no man, I won't go on there. No Chrome, no Facebook, none of that. I spit in their general direction. They are unworthy. Yes, I'll likely be using it to write in a regular word processor. I have Scrivener on this device, and it's absolutely amazing, however I hear it's a bit finicky to install on linux but not impossible. So I'm up to the challenge of that. If you write stories and like to world build, I highly recommend it. It's amazing. You know what I'm going to miss though is Livejournal. I hear not even they are safe anymore. That is awful. The whole internet is being ripped up. Fuck this year.
Oh yes, I got Tor, but I was thinking maybe I don't need it as it works a little too well. I'm curious about librewolf browser though. I may give that a shot as well. If only I was interesting enough to have classified government intel. Or a darknet drug lord. I am pretty paranoid, but not The Borne Supremacy levels of paranoid hehe. I'm learning about the different browser alternatives. I only know about Tor, Librewolf, and I was today years old when I learned about Debian. So I will check that out. Thanks so much! :)
That's amazing! Okay, will do. I can't wait to try it. Thank you. :)
What softwares do you use? What services do you use?
I use Apple devices right now. I've heard the stories about Windows as of late. Damn. But Apple is not much better.
If you use Google anything, you gotta seek to de-google. Replace Google Docs with Nextcloud, replace Google with some other search engine, switch to a privacy respecting browser, etc.
Oh absolutely degoogling. I'm on it. For now I'm using ecosia search engine but I just found out they are still kind of sketchy, so I will keep looking for a good search engine. As for the browser, I got Tor. It's great but only problem is when I try to go on some online spaces with Tor, I get blocked because they think I'm an intruder. So, it works VERY well, perhaps too well. But that is reassuring! I got a tutamail account. I still have gmail but have plans to ditch it soon and go all in on tutamail. I will definitely check out nextcloud, this is the first time I've heard about it. Not discouraged at all, this is great. :)Thank you!
That is amazing. That's all I needed to hear, thank you. I'm feeling a lot better about this!
Oh yes, absolutely. Already covered. I have two beautiful sandisk external hard drives. I got two, because the first one did in fact stop working in 2023 when one day I accidentally knocked it over. The replacements have silicone armour on them....might be safer but I'm also handling them like crystal. Losing everything on the first hard drive was devastating.
Oh my god, amazing! Skinks are good bois. Happy to have more of them. The name is pretty cool too. Tagalaka slider. Rolls off the tongue.
That's really kind of you. Thank you. I will be honest it's been a rough year but I'm happy to have found this place. I hope you're doing okay too.
