BREAKING: Free Software Foundation announces that its GIMP ("GNU Image Manipulation Program") will finally shed its controversial name, becoming LIGMA ("Libre Image and Graphics Manipulation Application") in mid-2023.

Sidenote: For purposes of semantic symmetry I try to use women for female humans of age >=18 and girls for all the other female humans

So if you ever see me use "girls" for who I want to calm "women" feel free to gently remind me

#feditips remember, the best way to use Wikipedia is to download a dump and access it offline.

https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/kiwix/zim/wikipedia/

You can find one there. If you want the English version, wikipedia_en_all_mini_2022-09.zim is probably the one for you. This way you won't see their stupid banners asking for money, and they won't track you. For a reader application, see this page: https://openzim.org/wiki/Readers

You gotta be slow-declinemaxxing. You need to be crumblepilled. Be the tales of tarnished times of glory half-demented men tell their grandchildren in mossy cottages. Wither away as history's hands bury you under the sands of time. You gotta be considering yourself a powerful culture while the rot is obvious
