Now we're getting to the good part of #irix
After the just unacceptably and inexplicably bad install process.

I do legitimately think that this is just peak computer UX. It is information dense, but still kind of playful.
I'm sure real #ux experts would have a different opinion, but I really enjoy this aesthetic and functionality.

* (*) Self-diagnosed Just a bunch of girly bytes exploring a new world in Second Life who also happens to have a fediverse account. Pronouns: she/her, \sqrt{-1} / \sqrt{-1}er. Catgirl, Kuwuntu user and webkitten. In my late 40s. Virtually a girl (and illegally lesbian) since 19/01/2007, but carrying the sin of being closeted forever. Professional daydreamer. I enjoy any interesting conversation about diversity, cats, windsurfing, boat sailing, big extensions of water, sunsets, caves and underground places, Open Source, Linux, C/C++ development/debugging/footgunning, casual game development, 8 bit retrocomputing, RC models, and (trying to) build my own stuff. Software development kink, dom, won't have mercy of the compiler or of software patterns to get what I want, and to get it now. If you're a software engineer, I can make you cry. Chaotic good with exceptions. Might have C++PTSD. I can provide emotional support texels and virtual hugs, or even hand out a spoon if you've ran out of them. Please treat me kindly, because even if only virtual, I also have a heart 💜. No questions about First Life. What happens in Second Life stays there. #nobridge #nobot. Follow requests not passing the vibe check will get a Connection reset by queer error. Minors don't interact with CW'd lewd posts, please. Backup: @cinnamon@fedi.absturztau.be
