It’s not a hard problem to understand.

The Democratic Party is a right wing party already as it is. Center-right at best. And they are trying to court the fascist vote.

They brought the Cheneys on stage for fucks sake.

Problem is that Trump does fascism better than they ever could. So they are not getting those votes. But they are alienating the left vote and those people won’t show up.

In addition to that the demonization of men by the online left is pushing the newer generations right.

A random man is not more dangerous than a random bear.

Pushing shit like this in the face of impressionable young people does harm and makes sure they know you do not have their back. So why should they have yours ?

The title is so tone deaf that made me not wanna read the rest of the article.

Kamala didn’t represent hope. She represented the “nothing will fundamentally change” stance.

Nah. But it’s already everything I need it to be.

It only matters if people are educated enough to understand why it’s important.

There are widely available options as it is. The majority of people don’t care at best. And get offended at the notion of using them at worst.

In think it comes from flathub not having many cli applications in it. I’d love to drop snaps for Flatpak only. But I can get so many snaps that aren’t on flathub it’s crazy.

Oh. Interesting. What do you keep when you export?

They do make some strange choices. But yeah, I agree. Also, on Gnome, everything else feels a bit rough around the edges.

Pretty accurate meme though.

iPhone 16 pro. Too early to tell but this might be my favorite ever.

Previous ones I also really enjoyed were all nexus or pixels but they all inevitably shit themselves after a couple years of use. Most recent one pixel 7 just decided it was gonna drain 6% battery per hour while idling out of nowhere. And nothing I tried fixed it. And I tried a lot.

Oh. I see. Thank you.

 

As simple as the title sounds I'm having huge trouble getting that working.

Thunderbird only fetches new mail while it's open.

Who the heck knows how to get evolution/geary to play nice with business gmail/protonmail.

Does anyone have a simple way of solving this problem?

edit. Also, somewhat related, is there a good looking, simple e-mail client? Thunderbird looks busy. Geary kinda looks okay but I cant get it to work at all.

 

I usually trust my distro repos without checking. Can the same be applied to flathub without much worry?

 

I gave it a fair shot for about a year, using vanilla GNOME with no extensions. While I eventually became somewhat proficient, it's just not good.

Switching between a few workspaces looks cool, but once you have 10+ programs open, it becomes an unmanageable hell that requires memorizing which workspace each application is in and which hotkey you have each application set to.

How is this better than simply having icons on the taskbar? By the way, the taskbar still exists in GNOME! It's just empty and seems to take up space at the top for no apparent reason other than displaying the time.

Did I do something wrong? Is it meant for you to only ever have a couple applications open?

I'd love to hear from people that use it and thrive in it.
