Their profile picture is interesting

I want to see it without the filters, even with them it looks like a fish being held out of the water. The filters are so heavy though it probably has terrible skin.

Spoiler: Another picture of it

Is this retarded fish face the only expression it is capable of forming?

I hope the owner can get the site back up on a different service.
Could someone with a more technical background explain what they were removed from? Was it something this troon owned, or just a hosting service? Was it the DNS domain that got taken away, their IPs, or their actual servers?

Why is his upper lip like this

 

[woowie queen]

Sounds based as fuck, great idea. If you have hyfetch (tranny version of neofetch) installed just print out YWNBAW and then cause a kernel panic 41% of the time.

it sucks that hyfetch is also pretty much neofetch but a bit more updated. if only the og guy for neofetch came back... (is fastfetch a viable alternative?)

I get it, but it's probably just the ungodly amount of filters he's put on that photo to try to look even remotely like a woman.

 

[Kendall Motor Oil]

Though one of the knee-jerk responses to all this was a request that Hyprland be removed from OpenSUSE, because it's "not safe for users at all". No, I don't understand the logic either. (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1111755, https://archive.ph/avvK2)

This is the guy who submitted the removal request.

Wayland tools enthusiast. Likes to code in Julia and Rust.

From what I understand, the actual servers. Apparently the owner hosted it on this troon's servers for some reason. I don't know how or why they both agreed to host the site like this in the first place and I'm genuinely surprised it wasn't kicked off earlier.

Oh this is an admin of social.threehouse.systems, you know, that Mastodon instance our dear friend Hector hails from.
https://social.treehouse.systems/@ariadne
He's also a histrionic troon who a few years ago created a PR to Mastodon repo, urging them to auto-block all Pleroma instances because uhhh, only nazis and chuds use it, apparently. Thankfully he got swiftly shut down.

And one of Drew's orbiters, by the looks of things

 

[Instant_Pot_User]

Just wanted to add that Drew DeVault is a faggot who couldn't handle mild criticism from the hugbox that is Geminispace after someone called him out on acting like a complete retard.
Tl;dr for the link: he threatened to blackhole any IP address requesting a favicon emoji from his boring gemini capsule, people say "that's fucking retarded", Drew spergs out.

Is that why I can't find any records of him using Gemini anymore? I swear he at one point had Gemini-exclusive blog posts. Maybe he scrubbed them after throwing this shitfit.

Also, what an egotistical faggot. At this point I think Droon should go in Internet Tough Guys just like Hector Martin and Daniel Micay.

Yes, he baleeted all of his Gemini posts. There's a mirror of his capsule via Kennedy[1] and his last post was "I'm not interesting in reading content in Geminispace :^)".

[Flaming Dumpster]

There's a pronouns feature for Exchange. Ironically when I tested it on a tenant a while ago, it did not work.

Gotta love how shit Exchange Online is. Admin UI for inbox rules? Too hard! Pronouns? #1 priority, must implement now, and of course like everything else in Exchange Online, it's fucking broken.

The documentation for this is peak clown world too. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/m...s/turn-pronouns-on-or-off?view=o365-worldwide

How the hell is this even real.

I don't necessarily think his HTTP exclusive blogposts are that interesting, but the posts on his Gemini capsule that aren't gemini specific (i.e. not his gemini proxy or reader) might be of value since they probably contain content that Drew wants to "hide" from the wider web, like his opinions on Anime/Vidya or posts that were previously also available over HTTP that a majority doesn't agree with (I don't remeber what post it was exactly, but I remember moving a article of his to gemini-exclusive after it had been posted to HN).

>Weed is much safer than tobacco, and it does not create a physical dependency like nicotine does.
I have never heard of anyone getting schizophrenia from cigarettes. Drew seems to have a very simplistic view of the world: everybody who disagrees with him is completely wrong, there's no nuance.

>Celeste is my favorite game by far. There are many games that I've liked and loved over the years, but Celeste is in a class of its own.
Celeste is of course best known for its creator trooning out, then retconning it to be about troonism. He really is obsessed.

I don't know if there was a management change at Microsoft or what but they started pushing that stuff hard starting a few years ago.

Okay lolbert.

 

[Perfectly Innocent]

I don't know if there was a management change at Microsoft or what but they started pushing that stuff hard starting a few years ago.

It’s all in line with the Linuxification of Windows, for lack of a better term. They didn’t just inherit technical changes doing that, but cultural ones too. Ballmer might not have liked the competition back in the day, but saner heads already started pivoting things internally a long time ago.

As early as the development of Windows Vista, they hired the inventor of Linux’s AppArmor LSM to design what became User Account Control, UIPI, Windows Service Hardening and Mandatory Integrity Control. Fast forward to around the time of Windows 10 and you’ve got Microsoft hiring Miguel De Icaza, a prominent GNOME 2 and Mono (.NET for Linux) developer, among others. As of Windows 11, the latest prominent addition is Lennart Poettering, best known for creating PulseAudio and systemd. Let’s not forget WSL is an ongoing thing too!

That’s only covering a small part of their overall business. There’s the Azure side which hired “developer advocates” with backgrounds in musical theatre (incredibly gay Twitch livestreams ensued) and the unintended consequences of acquiring the lolcow iceberg that is GitHub too…

So, to linuxify windows, they hired the guy who spent the better part of the last 20 years windowsifying linux?
