Last time KDE gave me issue was when they switched to Wayland by default I think. And even then that was mostly on me. 🤷‍♀️

Same. However, if you don’t need that functionality it’s solid. Just definitely not for me.

It’s not a partisan issue unfortunately. Sure Democrats are only focusing on slobbering over BB’s tip. Republicans are trying to gobble the shaft and balls. But either is inappropriate.

I don’t disagree. That’s actually the reason I tend to observe it. I never made accusations against it. But it’s obvious at this point that’s what this is getting made into. And it is my fault after all when I assumed.

A simple mistake. Dub and others have told me that I am mistaken and I’m just going to leave it at that. I was just wondering if it was connected to the drama that was going on over in a thread there in a singular community. They say no. Then no it isn’t.

It was an honest question. It had less to do with YPTB, and more to do with an individual well known to be rather bristly. Even if I do find myself generally agreeing with them otherwise. Someone who themselves has had threads in YTPB about them as well. But your need to make this about attacking YPTB really shows your unfounded conspiratorial mindset. If you have a need to feel persecuted. Tell yourself whatever you need though. It doesn’t bother me one way or the other. And if it’s a separate issue fair enough I will admit that I’m wrong.

Fair enough and rather a common sentiment. I think that’s about the only community there I follow and mostly to observe.

I’m assuming this is with relation to the YPTB thread accusing Kaplan and the world admins of being Zionist? I had a hunch there was more to the story.

He chooses pop over and over again at the worst times. The beta of cosmic was buggy for his use. And he installed it in the middle of a lanparty no less. That said. He eventually switched to mint same as Luke I think. Luke who has also been using, by the way. And he and Luke have had pretty positive things to say this time. Between windows actively going to shit and Linux continuing to chug along and improve.

No better way to prove there’s no oppression than to oppress over the claims of oppression.

Nice. Haiku would be a great lighter weight simple os for many SBC. I have it installed on an ancient core2 laptop. That technically can run windows 10. Technically. Haiku runs much better. Linux can run fantastic too. But I do enjoy the BeOS nostalgia.

Tom usually is. Extremely nerdy as well.

No it doesn’t. I think the fact that they’ve looked long term for links and found none does male a song argument however. Yes we are being poisoned in multiple ways. But we can generally prove them.

That’s a correlation, not a causation. It’s infinitely more likely it’s the mass propaganda outlets that have only gotten more effective. Especially with the advent of algorithms and the brainwashing brick.

Yes it definitely shouldn’t be about kink shaming. But I think the fact that his Dom was also a leftist and that played a big part for him was kind of what made me feel this was okay. It was also what made her think it was okay. He was solidly a conservative that supported persecution of trans and leftist.

On the one hand sure. If that’s what someone wants, more power to them. But he isn’t saying that because that’s what he wants. These are Republicans you have to keep that in mind. He’s saying that because being a woman would be humiliating especially a trans woman in his mind. And he wants the humiliation it gets him off. This is why they constantly accused trans people of being perverts and claim that they should not be out in public Etc. Because they are perverts doing it they believe everyone else is as well. They don’t realize that these are just people being people and not perverts like them.

Somehow when they’re on the way out they always seem to become slightly better people when they don’t have to performatively kiss ass. I’m not saying Marjorie Taylor green is a good person. Far from. But just compare her now to when she was in office. It’s a small Improvement but it’s still an improvement

Often the devil you know and the devil they made up to keep you with them. In the US at least, people aren’t educated on the subject at all outside of bad actors like the Soviet Union, North Korea etc. Red Vienna or any of the other current successful social democracies in Europe or Scandinavia? Never heard of them. Or worse, trained to believe it can’t work here due to their racism.

Yeah. I believe it was under the sha. Which was problematic in its own right. Even if it was more identifiable to the west. No returning to X nostalgic time. Just moving ahead, abolishing those that would oppress. Empowering individuals to govern themselves.

Absolutely. Though I don’t know that people trying to bait others into defending Iran. Rather that there are plenty unfortunately on the fediverse that genuinely will defend Iran in all its actions. Maybe I’m spoiled and it’s just my perception. But generally on the fediverse thankfully trump has no defenders.
