The entirety of Pokémon Crystal took up slightly less than a MB of storage iirc. Meaning the clock app on my phone takes up as much space as a little more than 82 Pokémon Crystals

A game, which–to be clear–Has a Clock.

When getting into OpenBSD, just a fair warning. If you think Gentoo/Arch is very RTFM-y, you will be jarred by how RTFM OpenBSD’s culture is.

The OpenBSD community feels like 90s hacker culture. No one will help you if you don’t have the capacity or skills to learn yourself. You need to show efforts and want to learn.

I'm kinda an exception to that TBH. I tend to be more friendly than the larger userbase. They aren’t trying to be mean, they want you to learn in the best possible way. They put all this effort into documentation, it would be an insult to them to neglect their efforts.

Generally, just show you actually had the capacity to learn yourself and showed what you tried, and you'll be golden.

If you look how I eMail on the ports@ mailing list, I try to make terse yet detailed accounts on what I have tried.

for example: x11/stumpwm broke on the latest snapshot of -CURRENT. I sent a mail to look into fixing that.

OpenBSD has very good documentation, but its mainly local and not online.

Learn how to read manpages, read afterboot(8), read the "Welcome to OpenBSD" mail in your user's inbox. Don’t know how to do that? Check the mail manpage.

I am all for auto-didacticism. That is- learning on your own terms at your own pace because learning matters to you. I feel that when people say "RTFM" they are trying to nudge you on a path to learn in the best way possible.

I would probably never outright say RTFM as a non-joke, but i wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment the people who use it have.

you can’t learn if you don’t try. i don’t think we should shut off new users, and i think largely the OpenBSD userbase agrees with me here. But- when you are learning you can and should expect some things to not work the way you would expect them to. Realizing the power of self discipline and discovering things is really helpful in easing the inevitable frustration here.

And I feel like that, right there, explains so much about how the site has changed in the last few months.

People now think reblogging is an unusual behaviour, rather than a default.

Tumblr newbies, please, for the love of baby Jesus, reblog the posts you like. That is the whole reason the site exists - for you to collect all your shiny fandom objects in a single space. Which you can organize to your heart's content. Or not organize at all, if that's your jam.

Liking does absolutely nothing. There is no algorithm like on IG that will use likes to throw content at people. If you don’t reblog, then no one who doesn’t follow that person (or happen to find it in the tags) will see that post.

Aces who never want to have sex

Aces who had sex in the past but don't desire it anymore

Aces with sexual trauma who feel like their trauma ties into their asexuality

Aces with sexual trauma who don't feel like their trauma caused their asexuality

Aces who don't want to talk to you about sex

Aces who don't want to hear about sex

Yes even aces who do not want to engage with any sexual content and don't want it in their own personal spaces

Yes even aces who express the desire to have more spaces for queer adults where their boundaries are met (on top of the queer spaces that exist, we do not want to sanitize your existing spaces ffs)

If you cannot be normal about these people existing, if you believe they're a threat to our community and to how we're viewed by people who aren't aspec and the rest of the LGBTQ+ community, you are not an asexual ally. Yes, even if you're aspec yourself. Especially if you're aspec yourself.
