Or “Balls Sacked”

Ah, but the conversation has moved past your initial question.

Did I say anything about a subculture?

I do not. What I am talking about is people (women included) who are generally loud, boisterous, admittedly a little threatening (though this stems from my past experiences), and who act with little to no regard for the feelings or wellbeing of anyone other than themselves. These aren’t hard and fast rules, of course.

When I see roadmen around the city I now live in, they’re never causing any trouble: just hanging around, usually vaping, and that’s okay. The idea that everyone matching this description is a violent criminal is bullshit drummed up by the tabloids in order to scare old folk and distance them from young people. However, when I was in middle/high school, any dickhead who decided to be cruel to me or my brother for any reason would match this description every time — with the exceptions of two specific boys, who were posh twats. At the same time, many of my friends then and now either fit this description or have the lifestyle usually attributed to the stereotype.

The clothing is just a correlation.

If it’s a caricature then how have I met so many of them?

Please get a life. If you’re a chav/ned/roadman, we honestly don’t care; nor do we give a fuck if you like them.

I, a member of the working class from the north-east, have both close friends and sworn enemies across this demographic. Do I want to be a part of it myself? Not really. Do I care if other people do/are? Also no. You do you.

Alternatively, if this is a hyperfixation, there are friendlier ways to approach it than accusing the Fediverse of classism.

And then there’s also sndio, ported from OpenBSD. This does basically the same thing as OSS/ALSA.

Linux Mint with either Cinnamon or Xfce.

Cinnamon is fancy, Xfce is light.

TIL Sir Paul McCartney is on Reddit.

Yeah, I’d really like to go back in time and tell Solderpunk to name it something else.

Fedigemini is already a thing, thanks to things like tootik; but what we really need is mesh networking that the government can’t fuck around with.

Reminds me of the “how tall was hitler” joke
