It sadly doesn’t quite work right on KDE. You can get close: you can show an application launcher, or a exposé-like window overview, or a pager, but you can’t show all of them at once in a way that’s easy to work with between like Gnome does.

Heck, even Gnome regressed Gnome 40, as you don’t get the vertical desktop overview any more. At least there’s shell extensions that let me get Gnome 3’s behaviour back.

It’s a real pity, because I like KDE, and definitely the KDE apps, more, but the Super-key overview is no hard to quit.

The only reason I don’t use KDE is because it doesn’t do the super-key expose/dash/overview like Gnome.

If someone could port AUX’s UI, that would be perfect.

And as a fellow System 6/7 fan, it’s love, not masochistim. Long live the spatial Finder!

Neoliberalism broke democracy.

People are willing to vote for someone, anyone, who promises to make things better because they’re tired of bootlicking milquetoast corporatists that’ll give a tax break to a billionaire but will charge you user fees for breathing.

We need to vote for politicians that will actually improve things, instead of either rainbow-bench-painting wage-thieves or protofascist grifters.

Again, it’s “Don’t quote the troll”. Some of us learned this in Usenet in the 1990s.

Saying “This is bullremoved” or “You’re weird” without engaging with their ideas stops the contagion from spreading.

It is, though. Studies in disinformation have proven this. This is why right-wing bullremovedters are so eager to engage in debate: just getting the chance to show up and be refuted in a legitmate setting, like a major newspaper, gives them an audience for the ideas and credibility, that their position is one worthy of refute.

This is how we got the alt-right in 2015: by taking neo-Nazis seriously.

This is what the media doesn’t understand, and why fact-checkers are getting–correctly–rolled on social media. Every time you bring up one of these lies, even to fact check it–especially to fact-check it–you give it credibility.

This is why the Harris/Walz campaign’s tactic of ridicule is working so well. Instead of saying “No, you’re wrong about XXX because YYYY and ZZZZ”, they’re saying “What is wrong with you? You’re weird.” The latter doesn’t give the lie any oxygen.

“Liberal” doesn’t mean what many people think it means.

It doesn’t mean “leftist” or “progressive” or “humane”. There might be some overlap, but these are not the same things, despite conservatives trying to define them as such.

Yes it is.

You might not wish it to be, but fact-checking absolutely does amplify fake news, especially if you give details.

A simple “this story is bullremoved” is all that’s needed

And now you, the mainstream media, are amplifying it and giving it oxygen.

It’s like y’all never learned the old Usenet adage: “don’t feed (quote) the trolls”.

Sochi might have done okay if was actually an Olympiad, instead of a scam to enrich Putin and his cronies disguised as an Olympiad.

You couldn’t throw a ball without hitting something branded as “Open” in that era.

Stable means different things in different contexts.

Debian being stable is like RHEL being stable. You’re not jury talking about “doesn’t crash”, you’re talking about APIS, behaviours, features and such being assured not to change.

That’s not necessarily a good thing for a general purpose desktop, but for an enterprise workstation or server, yes.

So it’s not so much that Debian would replace Fedora, it’s the Debian would replace RHEL or CentOS. For a Fedora equivalent, there’s Ubuntu and the like.

Debian Stable.

It’s always the answer to "what distro do I want to use when I care about stability and support-ability.

Reform getting 14% is not a good sign. It’ll drive the Tories to be more populist, reactionary and, well, fascist.

It also looks like Labour doesn’t have anywhere near the mandate their seat share implies and they could be out in a few years, especially if they don’t do much to help common people, which Starmer seems to be implying by hewing to the neoliberal consensus.

We’ve seen this in other FPTP systems (Canada, the US) when the centre-left party runs to the right: it forces the centre-right to flirt with fascism and it leaves left-leaning voters disillusioned and angry.

Does it work the other way? Can I follow Threads users without being on threads.net myself?

Coincidentally, that’s what using it is like, too. :)

When you say that the keyboard works: do the brightnesss, mute and volume controls do what they’re supposed to do?

HP laptops–at least business-grade ones–are notorious for sending nonstandard scan codes and requiring custom drivers.

Australians are basically US americans of the south (think food: originally british, cannot be healthy, no good car manufacturers, afraid of foreigners…)

They’re really more like Canadians than Americans, although I’ve heard it said that New Zealand more accurately fills that role

The market has solved it.

You just don’t realize what the market has solved for. It didn’t solve the problem of expensive healthcare, it solved the problem of how to maximize profits for the wealthy.

That’s what people don’t understand about “the market”. What you think it’s doing isn’t what it’s actually doing.

Sorry, that was supposed to be a pun on “fork”, in release-management sense of the word.
