With no taxes on tips (if it actually happens), expect a HUGE increase in tip expectations.

WinGet, choco, scoop, &c, they all have strengths and weaknesses, which is why I had to write this: https://github.com/brianary/scripts/blob/main/Update-Everything.ps1

It's also why I use Linux at home.

Do they mean "buying" instead of "owning"?

I really like the tiling window support in Pop_OS!'s Cosmos desktop.

It's the same argument I've heard about the "complexity" of Mastodon: too many choices, which is I guess why people largely stopped going to websites outside the major social networks. Monopoly over competition, it's like everyone is pining for a monarchy.

Democrats aren't authoritarians. It's a bad comparison. Democrats are always fragmented, it's virtually a defining characteristic. Post-Biden unity has been quite unusual.

The fixation is because there is no clear line of succession. If he fails, who steps in? They'll splinter and fragment. They'll still be deplorable, but less effective when not united behind a single authoritarian leader.

None were leftist, and only one got as far as violence.

You may be right, but it seems to me that sleeper cells need direction. Otherwise, they'll interpret their ideology divergently. They may block progress pretty effectively, but it'll be hard for them to make gains in a shared direction.

This is all true, but there's not clear line of succession after Trump, so they'll splinter. Redirecting the fervor to some new dear leader will take a long time. The Trump thralls are entirely invested in him alone.
