"Liberal" can mean centrism, capitalism with a human face, capitalism with some socially progressive elements, etc.

"Leftist" can be anything from "liberal" (as the far-right likes to pretend left=evil), to any form of actual leftism, which also can range from libertarians to authoritarians, with the latter sometimes weirdly being pushed a lot by the right (Fidesz, the Hungarian far-right party masquerading as "moderate, center-right, christian democrats", have paid off the election debts of Munkáspárt 2006, and now they're one of their satellites).

  1. A lot of them abstained due to the dems failing to do anything on the state level.
  2. A lot of them who voted just thought the Project 2025 was there to make the libs cry, and no human would be evil enough to execute them all.

Also a lot of Trump voters in the swing states are already regretting, if it continues, it can very well lead to a civil war, especially if Project 2025 will be executed. Who knows, maybe even the military will have issues with it.

Also get ready of net neutrality disappearing, and you'll have sites blocked just because of ISPs not liking them.

Expect this to escalate to really bad levels. Not just by women getting raped, but those awful men getting "what they deserve", which will lead to further escalations. All because of they wanted what those stupid Coca-Cola and gas stove ads depicted.

Okay, maybe he would have alienated like a small percentage of liberals that thought he was "too radical" and he will bring a holodomor on the US for some reason. Maybe some of those Bernie bros were just troll pretending to like him, so they could play the "why I left the left". Still, he not only could have won a lot of Republicans, but even more people who normally abstaining from voting.

 

Liberalism has failed. While it tried to somewhat remedy today's problems, it clearly wasn't enough. Especially with how much our corporate overlords outgrew even the past robber barons. The corporate social media, that were often used by anti-establishment activists, are often became extremely hostile to those, and instead boosted those that does take down the more liberal parts of the status quo. Liberals became more and more incompetent about trying to speak to the common people who do not understand economics to the same degree as they think.

Even we had our own issues. The former big names of "breadtube" often have had disappeared to Nebula and other platforms, where their videos are paywalled, thus reach a much smaller audience. While others do exist, they have been buried under the algorithm so far, and the far-right likes to antagonize politics in entertainment media, but only if that entrails leftist politics, thus some of us are holding back on it.

First if you haven't ditched Twitter yet, then what are you waiting for? Go get a Mastodon account, go to Bluesky (even if they're still corporate) instead, even if your VTuber oshi or favorite singer still haven't go any of there or got bored of them after a few days due to being way less addictive.

Secondly, unless you really live in a very isolated place, go outside, talk to people! Make real-life friends! You have been living in long time isolation that you have issues with opening up yet again? Seek help, either professionally or some other way if it's not available to you.

Third, take care of your body, don't let it go to waste. You might need it, if things go to south.

And lastly, we must stop taking the "moral high ground" every time. The right does not care. The right just uses it to gaslight us to hold certain positions, often to make us look worse, or to compromise our positions. Do not "cancel" your fellow comrades just to show "yeah, we are holding people accountable for their actions", just for that to be something said years ago or something similarly small stuff; this is both being used to hurt our movement by inciting infights, but to also show those wanting to leave the alt-right "why would you, they'll eventually backstab you", maybe instead we want to rehabilitate people as we always dreamed what justice should be. But also do not concede your positions on minorities: the "ineffective" liberal party that preceded Fidesz tried to slowly concede on Roma issues due to the damage the far-right did between 2006 and 2010 to anti-racism, then Ferenc Gyurcsány's (Hungarian prime minister between 2004 and 2008) current party doubled down on slowly abandoning some LGBTQ+ issues, while being barely more than a shitty social democrat party. Meanwhile Szikra, an unashamedly populist and libertarian-leftist party, is unstoppable.

Take your time to rest. Whether you expected or not, a punch still hurts. But we can't rest forever.

To be fair, a lot of them don't know the full context. Don't underestimate how much the average voter can be out of touch with news. Many of them only care about politics every four years or so.

It'll go in waves. Currently both the Fediverse and BlueSky are cozy places, and as they continue to further decay, both are going to gain more and more users. I'm less on these kinds of platforms, but I started to instead doomscroll way less and either watch more videos or are more productive. We maybe even should call this movement "social media detox".

"The adults" can't restore lost lives, and depending on how much "the adults" think they should take the moral high ground, they may only undo some of the damage, while normalize the rest.

Now they also control the social media platform that liberals and leftists used for organizing.

Please note that the "Bernie bros" that became right wing could have been psyops. I've seen a few ones stupidly admitting it, because Trump would have struggled against Bernie, maybe even have lost in a landslide.

 
 

It was quite difficult to look up for Windows, and X11 has its own more complicated way of doing things. On X11, I've managed to enter fullscreen, but exiting is even more difficult and less documented.

I know Wayland exists, but as long as XWayland provides a good enough support, I'll use that instead for now, due to lack of time on my own side.

EDIT: To clarify: I meant how do I do it via API calls, in programming, not by what key is the default (which is F11).

 

Originally, I was going to use D, but its current WASM guideline is buried under a lot of Discord threads, all while people are lazy to touch the wiki. I need to test stuff with WASM (use for scripting in applications, not browsers).

Please NO RUST!!! While I see why functional programming is useful (I even use wasmtime as my WASM engine, which is developed in Rust), but is horribly counterproductive for game development, especially if it's opt out like in Rust.

EDIT: In the meanwhile, I've found AssemblyScript, which seems to be good for my usecase.

After a crash during an update (which I managed to recover from), the default file manager Nautilus no longer works, and crashes so hard it crashes VirtualBox too.

I tried by deleting it then reinstalling it, but didn't change this behavior. Also there's a non-zero possibility that the original crash was caused by Nautilus itself.

 

Due to this, I'm afraid of working on my own projects. This fear especially intensifies when I'm reaching some kind of milestone or personal goal (e.g. implementing a feature in software, or going to the next phase of a drawing), and end up procrastinating instead. Even worse is that I believe if I could get them finished, I could probably fix my current financial state.

Please note that in my country (Hungary), public mental health care is nearly nonexistent, and they're only existing so the state can point to it. I don't have any money for the private stuff, and I have higher priority health concerns that would benefit from higher-quality care (e.g. switching anti-seizure medications as my current doctor ignores its side effects).

 

It not only have problems with CSEM (the real-life stuff), but there are now bots spamming it and Twitter made reporting it a chore.

"Please provide more context", WTF it's literally just CSEM plus a link I won't click even if my life depends on it!

I'm quite sad since a lot of the creators I'm following are still only there, or on the boneless fediverse app BlueSky (which is worse in some ways), and I still need to keep it around just to protect my user handle there and to look things up from time to time.

Once I'm at home from work, I'm locking my account, and put up a farewell message to whoever might miss me.

I'm not saying that the fediverse is perfect, far from it (especially certain segments of Lemmy), but it's a way better experience than whatever Xitter (or Reddit for that matter) tries to be. I even have more reach, especially since the whole paid blue checkmark thing.

 

While Google Translate has its obvious privacy-related issues, it's at least a very mature system. The same cannot be said about Samsung's translator, especially in its current form, yet they're trying to roll it out ASAP and to as many people as possible.

So far, I've found it impossible to turn Google translate back on for quick access translations, instead I need to first copy the text, switch to the translator, then insert the text into the input field. This is more tedious than the previous method.
