The developer behind anubis is a troon, pretty sure everyone knows this already though. What do you think lol

He did a podcast with Brodie Robertson. You can hear the instant he opens his mouth (skip to 0:36 if you hate Brodie's voice) that he is a troon, or at best a they/them.
Literally named himself "Xe". Here is his personal website.
Looks to be Canadian (of course!).

There's a pretty big difference between a human with animal ears and a humanoid animal.

What makes you think the anime girl (male) isn't a guy?

Because she's not a buff jackal dude, therefore not Anubis, therefore it looks like a) an anime girl or b) an anime faggot. Both are not Anubis.

I shall not let the legacy of proto-furfags be tarnished like this. Osiris may have been a eunuch, but he was not a troon.

White-knighting for the honor of a, uhh, literal demon is an interesting choice.

I find this one of the most insufferable web pages to read. Every once in a while, I see an interesting technical headline that links to that page and I don't notice before I click. For some reason, there's like these "comic intermissions" periodically on the page where various fursonas(?), alternate personalities(?) weigh in:

I find that style of writing extremely annoying, and it seems like a relatively unique way to display content. I don't know why it irritates me so, but it does.

I've seen that sort of thing frequently with Japanese blogs and web pages. Where they want to present some information to the reader, and instead of just writing about it directly from the writer's perspective, it's written as a dialogue between two characters discussing the topic. Usually with a more knowledgeable straight man who acts like a guide and a more emotive character who reacts to the information and asks questions that move the topic forward.

But it's usually something done for the entire article, not just random intermissions in what would otherwise be a normal article. And it's usually done with cute mascots or Touhou characters or something and not gay fursonas.

I've had the same happen to me as well. The way he does it is completely obnoxious.

I've seen a similar style in another blog but done significantly better, as the character was just used as a reader insert and not because his genderspecial fursonas need to be on every page. Still autistic but does not inflict disgust.

Edit: I'm late and gay

Is there an archive manager that just fucking works? I am using EndeavourOS and file-roller has been updated and improved by removing the drag and drop to extract feature. Insert "use case for drag and drop to extract" meme here.
I switched to xarchiver for some time but this too fails to extract by drag and drop 80% of the time. I am very close to just extracting stuff by terminal at this point.

Ark (the KDE archive manager) works great, however if you don't currently use any KDE programs it will pull in about half of KDE as dependencies, which you may not want.
When I use Xfce, I tend to use Engrampa as a more minimal alternative, which actually works, unlike xarchiver.
I would give both a try and see which one you prefer.

tar, and zip/unzip if you need to deal with .zip files

Appearantly somone has been trying to ddos down gnus site for a while.

That's not the main topic of the video it seems but that's the thing in this that interested me. Well that and then bashing trannyware.

this project looks really interesting. i've been sitting on domains for a personal website for quite some time, but im always concerned any files i host will get mass downloaded by bots and pages spammed by web crawlers. kind of wonder if this project would mitigate that, maybe i'm misunderstanding.

i have had ark regularly break .rar, .7z, and .zip support. maybe its just my fault for using stable distros, specifically kubuntu.

i started using engrampa 2 months ago and it is the best archiving tool i've ever used on linux.

IT blog or a fourth grader's Tumblr post? Bet some people would get confused if you took out all tech-related jargon. Just bring back infrequent shitty puns or wizard analogies already, fucking please.
