I'm all of the above (gay, bi, trans, gnome)

Tarantino, is that you?

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.

But how? The evidence is right there.

And Arnold Schwarzenegger by the way

Careful with that line of thought; it also implies that everyone is a little bit straight.

I sure am glad nobody I know prefers personality.

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.

I’m all of the above

It says "Someone you know is gay," but I think it would be extremely presumptuous of me to say that I know you. It also says, "someone you love," but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on that one.

he would use gnome wouldnt he

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.

I do look down on people who like gnome. Does that make me a bigot?

Gnome users deserve the hate.

I like feet but use KDE Plasma

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.

Yes

Still better than liking gnome.

Unfortunately having the whole menu doesn't mean you actually get to order off there.

Isn’t that what Peter Thiel consumes to try and stay young?

Oh, KDE … I read that as “kid” by accident

KDE Master Race anyway

May I offer you a candle in these trying times?

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.

And us homos appreciate it

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 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.

A foot fetish is one thing, but using Gnome is where I draw the line!

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.

"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."

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.

i use foot terminal btw

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.

I identify with one of these

Just discovered that thing myself a couple of days ago, after getting disappointed from Hyprland's handling of multi-monitor setups.

bigfoot, not bigot

I look down on gnomes

I'll see myself out

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.

🧩The hyper rational autistic response:

Your internal emotions are yours to manage. You have no rights to, or responsibility for other people's emotions.

As such, to respect the agency of every soul's free will, the capacity to self regulate is a grave responsibility every individual has to the collective whole we call society.

Tl;Dr (edit: Too Long; Here's more!) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You should endeavor to be in control of your emotions, not be controlled by them, such that you may prevent hatred from ever spilling out of you and onto others (except perhaps unto agents of evil, but most people cannot tell the difference, safer to just not hate), and such that love is intentionally directed at your fellow neighbors who are abiding by the social contract.

/End rambling

someone you know and love is using gnome

thank you!
every time someone says that I'm like: but i have a theme installed right now 😿

ok that's really funny

I'm tired of those crazy people who will suck just the left ball but only while tickling your right armpit while holding a spinning ball...a basketball on one hand and squeezing your butt with the other...and their thumb up your mangina. No! That's s weird fetishist and it has to stop now!

No! Get off me! Its my turn! C'mon! I got the honey and the Sean Connery mask! Hey! Wait! Where are you going!!? The torch is for the wax candles!

Meanwhile arch users don't need a flag, they will just tell you

Agreed but that should've been Ts;Dr

Wait until y'all learn about the secret menu. Next time, ask for animal style.
