hailthefish @hailthefi.sh · 06/05/2026It's not an unreasonable assumption, statistically speaking. Whether that's good or bad, who's to say? 000

hailthefish @hailthefi.sh · 12/01/2026A center-fire .223 round (think standard NATO assault rifle ammo) on the left vs. a .22 Long Rifle (most common rimfire cartridge) on the right. The actual projectile part at the tip has the same diameter, but the .22lr is much smaller and lighter and has a LOT less propellant. 010

"Morello's father participated in the Mau Mau Uprising (1952–1960) and was Kenya's first ambassador to the United Nations.[12] Morello's paternal great-uncle, Jomo Kenyatta, was the first elected president of Kenya.[12] His aunt, Jemimah Gecaga, was the first woman to serve in the legislature of Kenya and his uncle Njoroge Mungai was a Kenyan Cabinet Minister, Member of Parliament and was considered one of the founding fathers of modern Kenya. Morello's parents met in August 1963 while attending a pro-democracy protest in Nairobi, Kenya.[13] After discovering her pregnancy, Mary Morello returned to the United States with Njoroge in November and they married in New York City.[14]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:si4v6cfslpkeofho32wzfar6/bafkreifbyauolmajmgnx53bbv2ltxe2cd4gszxi4oh2hi6njwdranlg75q)

If you find GIMP hard to use you probably shouldn't be allowed to drive a car or shop at a grocery store. it's literally just buttons with pictures on them that do the things the pictures represent. you don't even need to be able to read.

when people say FOSS is "hard to use" or "unintuitive" what they often mean is that it's slightly different than the fascist corporate slop they're used to, and that slight difference makes them uncomfortable, and they'd rather wallow in slop than risk learning a new skill](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:si4v6cfslpkeofho32wzfar6/bafkreicag5a46ua2mfq2l25qwzt7ybc7jpc3u6eqm5yxln3jxhz37ofwle)
