Ethanol

nice desktop wallpaper :3

don't let yourself get discouraged, math isn't everything ^^

this tbh! reddit, tiktok, etc. doesn't properly embed in discord anymore, so I could just upload funny clips to Loops and have an actual playable embed when I share the link.

I definitely need that magic! o.o

I know a fun fact:
You know how a packet of 8 bits is called a byte? A packet of 4 bits, which is half a byte, is called a nibble!

the hecking pepper brush from GIMP at the end got me laughing!

you might be overthinking a bit. I don't think there is anything wrong with having gnomes whos culture is based on some autistic traits. Like maybe it's common for them to just leave mid-conversation or they see it as an insult if you make eye contact. That sounds like a fun idea.
Just don't make autism their only trait or be afraid of not including an idea because it doesn't fit the autism stick.
As others here have said it might be more about how you do it, not if it's gnomes or any other species. The only thing I really associate with gnomes would be a low body height.

you can edit your post and correct the link I believe. Great post btw!

could've expanded GNU some more! :P

Oh yeah, you're right. Seems like the AI replaced dead with useless as in "dead batteries". That is really awful.

Different apps being able to communicate sounds similar to the fediverse! Would be nice if there was a common protocol/library every messenger would use and clients would only need to implement it.
