I’m all of the above (gay, bi, trans, gnome)
Tarantino, is that you?
he would use gnome wouldnt he
I’m not sure if he would use it, he would lick the screen for sure.
I like feet but use KDE Plasma
Isn’t that what Peter Thiel consumes to try and stay young?
Oh, KDE … I read that as “kid” by accident
ok that’s really funny
KDE: Ketamine Desktop Environment
nah only to stay “Kool”
People hate bi people? Really? But, they’re so much fun!
It has been my experience that a lot of people don’t believe bisexual people even exist. It’s weird.
It’s probably more likely that straight people don’t even exist. Everyone is a little bit gay.
Careful with that line of thought; it also implies that everyone is a little bit straight.
So that means everyone is either bi or ace?
The point I’m raising is that it’s dangerously close to telling a lesbian that they “just haven’t had the right dick yet”, etc.
I don’t mean to rebuke, either. I made the exact same comment about everyone being a little bit gay when I came out back in high school, and was immediately met with the same response I gave.
While I take your point, the concept of telling a lesbian that they “just haven’t had the right dick yet” is almost always used as a slant to imply that they’d actually be happier if they were straight, not if they were bi/pan. It’s more saying “you’re wrong” rather than saying “you might enjoy something else in addition”.
Being bisexual myself, I find monosexuality to be pretty weird and struggle to understand it. I tend to put people who identify as either straight or gay in the same camp - as just not being open-minded enough to explore what feels like the natural state to me; that all people are potential sexual candidates. While it’s a pretty blunt instrument, I tend to think of the Kinsey Scale as being normally distributed - that true 100% straight and 100% gay people probably exist but are extreme minorities.
Again, that’s just my opinion, and it’s not one I’d ever levy at a person derogatorily. I just think as a species we haven’t yet come to the point of thoroughly and completely deconstructing the social and biological frameworks we’ve constructed around sexuality.
I think with the straight/gay labels, you’re not going to be not attracted to someone just because they say that they’re a guy or girl. So really there’s just some appearances that you find attractive, and some not. For most people, those line up pretty well with femininity and masculinity, with maybe a few other restrictions on top. Any label is going to be a simplification, you can’t describe with one word the whole range of people you are attracted to.
And us homos appreciate it
And Arnold Schwarzenegger by the way
But how? The evidence is right there.
I’m straight up envious. Not to the point of hatred, but I’m a little peeved that they get to order from the whole menu.
Unfortunately having the whole menu doesn’t mean you actually get to order off there.
Source: myself (oof)
Wait until y’all learn about the secret menu. Next time, ask for animal style.

I wish I could find everyone hot. In my experience I have pretty similar tastes in people regardless of gender, but those tastes are pretty specific so the majority of people are still not attractive to me. Also the bi cycle is real. I’ll cycle which gender I’m most into randomly and sometimes I’m not into anyone. It’s very confusing so it took me a while to figure myself out. It’s really not as great as you’re imagining.
I’ve heard both straight and gay people say they wouldn’t date a bisexual because they don’t trust them not to sleep with someone else of another gender…
I wouldn’t date someone who wouldn’t date a bi 'cos they’re obviously too insecure to be trusted.
I’ll admit to being one of those people. I’m always a bit biphobic of new bisexual people unless they end up fucking me.
In my experience, women think I’m not “manly” and men think I’m confused.
“No, bro, that’s a penis. You want vagina. You’re just confused because they taste the same”
“No they don’t.”
“How would you know??? Nobody knows! You’re just confused.”
Is this before or after you bring out the trackball?
Maybe it’s just the colorblind ones?
I do look down on people who like gnome. Does that make me a bigot?
No, gnomes are short, so looking down on them is to be expected.
someone you know and love is using gnome
False, if they’re using gnome and I love them, I don’t know them
bigfoot, not bigot
I look down on gnomes
I’ll see myself out
Meanwhile arch users don’t need a flag, they will just tell you
Selective perception. In a thread where everyone talks about their distro, you’ll remember the arch users because of the meme.
I use Arch btw
Edit: The situation is more nuanced than I had been led to believe. This stays for posterity.
Irony. In GTK4 there literally are only two genders: Dark Mode and Light Mode.
Earlier GNOME was much more accepting of alternative window styles.
GTK4 accepts just as many aternative styles as before, you are mixing up GTK4 and members of the GNOME team. The anti-theme drama happened when some GNOME devs (and a bunch of other libadwaita users) made an open letter that asked that people do not distribute their apps with a preinstalled theme. The first versions of the letter were lunatic, sure, but it is just a request. ZorinOS ignores that request and they’re doing just fine.
If you put a theme in
~/.config/gtk4/gtk.css, most apps will load it. Note that libadwaita, the widget kit used by GNOME and a lot of other GTK4 apps (but not all of them), no longer considers that changing a CSS class is a breaking change. For this reason, your theme may break when libadwaita updates. Which is a reasonable thing.Also you need to restart the app for the theme to apply, which wasn’t the case before.
Sorry for the rant, this one annoys me because all the specialized medias fell for it. It’s a case of a very easily demonstrable fact that gets drowned in stupid Twitter/Phoronix drama.
https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1598493 this a well known theme for libadwaita. I don’t know if there are others, I would guess so.
https://www.gnome-look.org/browse?cat=135&ord=latest and here are a ton of themes for non-libadwaita GTK4 apps. They might break libadwaita apps, I haven’t tried any.
And now my computer is all pink and yellow again because I made a theme to reassure myself that I wasn’t insane. I do that every few years to make sure I’m not delusional and everyone online is wrong but me.
thank you! every time someone says that I’m like: but i have a theme installed right now 😿
Do mine eyes deceive me? Some of those don’t even have the address bar merged with the menu bar and hamburger menu icon… although I can’t tell whether those are just the apps insisting on doing things the tried and tested way.
Nonetheless, I’ll add a note to my original comment.
Themes cannot cleanly move widgets out of their parents, I would assume it’s how the apps are designed
A foot fetish is one thing, but using Gnome is where I draw the line!
As an unequivocally straight person, my view is:
What the fuck does what somebody else’s sexual thing (orientation, identification, desires…) matter to me? As long as it doesn’t harm me I’m good. Your freedom stops when it encroaches on mine. And that is bi-directional.
If I have a problem with that, it’s MY problem to deal with.
This could open a can of worms if you talk to somebody outside of the liberal bubble, no matter how obvious it seems. Right wingers can literally feel it’s harmful as they believe it can affect their children sexuality or cause degeneration when non-normative relationships are being showed publicly. others believe it would be ok, but strongly oppose LGBT activism, which to be honest in parts I oppose too while being gay myself
I work with a bunch of huge trumpers, two of whom are (married even) lesbians. They both have somehow arrived at the mental state where they think Republicans are pro-gay and Democrats are anti-gay. If you’re expecting these people to see reason, you’re going to be disappointed.
Must be difficult either never talking to your party or hiding your true self
They are extremely open lesbians. I just do not get it.
I actually sort of get it: they really hate black people and I guess that trumps all. Pun intended.
Thats not why I hate gnome
I sure am glad nobody I know prefers personality.
It’s not right to fight the mentally deficient. And your weird obsession isn’t hurting anyone other than yourself. Just don’t be whipping your UI out in public or in front of minors and you’ll be fine.
May I offer you a candle in these trying times?
Just discovered that thing myself a couple of days ago, after getting disappointed from Hyprland’s handling of multi-monitor setups.
Gnome users deserve the hate.
No.
I personally use KDE Plasma and don’t like GNOME but that doesn’t mean that I hate GNOME or think that it, its users, or its devs deserve hate.
“I dont understand sarcasm” - thethunderwolf
98% of the time I wanted to do something, or had a problem I wanted to fix, the cause was Gnome. I hate Gnome. And coincidentally also feet.
