Thanks. In my experience, Wine and Proton don't work as well as native for one of the apps I'm building, so I will need to either build in a container or say "use X Ubuntu version".

I do, but Linux should be a first-class platform alongside Windows.

Mainly getting builds onto platforms catering to Windows users and gamers. The consensus here seems to be using containerized build environments.

Thanks for the info! If I'm doing container builds anyways, this looks tasty.

I don't use dependencies that don't have a history of backwards compatibility, and when I do, I ship them. It's SOP to assume basic things like a GUI "just work", and it's also SOP for Ubuntu to ship non-functional programs that were broken by GTK and Qt updates. I'd rather have buggy/broken software with undefined behavior than software that just doesn't run.

I'll probably have to use chroot or docker. I tried with glibc force link but when I objdump -T I see symbols that slip through with newer glibc, even when they're .symver'd in the header. That project hasn't been updated in a long time.

Containers aren't too bad for storage from a developer's perspective. I'm talking about the dependency versioning bullshit of flatpak and snap specifically for end users. I don't know if AppImage technically counts as a container, but the whole point of it is to ship libraries the end user doesn't have, which implies a fundamental flaw in the hierarchical dependency tree or distribution model - the end user should already have everything they need to run software.

Friends with benefits and romance. Ideally, I'd like openly queer and kinky partners who are openly queer and kinky everywhere and don't try to hide it, and for those relationships to last, and if they don't I need valid reasons why not. Maybe even marriage one day.

In terms of Recon being intense, I very much need that BDSM dynamic. I don't have to call him "master" when we're at a coffee shop because that might be weird for the other guests, but I've been a part of the kink scene for a while and see no reason to hide it. 19 can be too young depending on their level of experience. I dated a 19-year-old transgirl a few years ago who was more mature than I am now. Of course, the hillbilly community college crowd has a mental age of about 10. It's hell here.

I don't mean to complain. I very much want a hardcore sadist partner or two who participate in the community, and if 10% of the population fits the description then everyone I know is playing coy.

No real fun in the past few months, but I've been having interesting conversations with my queer acquaintances. A surprising number of people are ace. Celibacy makes me sad, and I'm starting to see the point of stuff like Grindr/Scruff/Recon. The trouble is that I'd really like to bottom for younger boys, and at the same time I need the emotional/sexual security that comes with a long-term relationship. So many people have never even done anal and are only "queer" in the sense of bicurious or whatever. I'm 31, I'm past that shit, and I'm seriously not happy in my own skin and need that external stimulus to get past my own complexes, and it's damaging to be alone for too long for real.

Sounds like an awesome week!

I can't stop laughing

I grew my hair out, dyed it a lighter shade, and I straighten it and use hair clips. I also try to wear at least one article of women's clothing every day, and I often wear makeup. I don't know if these things make me trans, but even in the conservative area I live, people are surprisingly accepting. I recommend crossdressing.

I can relate to being a beta bottom, not so much the rest of it. I haven't had enough dicks in my life to form size preferences, and I've never felt like I'm competing to be a "real man". I'm tall and masculine-looking, so it's a bigger struggle for me to look less masculine and visually fit my role. I don't know why you can't transition, but the things holding me back are insecurity about my masculine appearance and lack of funds.
