Gnome has been the only stable DE I've used in the last 20 years.

Always loved the customization options of KDE and would love spending hours tinkering to get everything perfect. Now I'm old and don't have time for that bullshit anymore.

I just recently tried a few different DEs on an old Chromebook (i use Arch btw) and everything crashed after a few hours due to RAM limits, but Gnome kept chugging along on this piece of shit device and is now my daily driver.

What was the issue? Maybe we can help resolve it here?

Let these MAGA/Trumper retards kill themselves off. It's Darwinian karma at its peak.

we don’t seem to encounter any in our universe as we know it

What the fuck are you talking about? Genetic mutations causing horrible lifelong mentally and physically painful issues for people sounds like a bug in DNA metabolics to me. And what about black holes? Gravity wells getting so massive it bugs out because the universe has no idea what to do and thinks it is a simultaneous implosion and explosion forever until someone observes beyond the event horizon.

And so we should turn our attention to REAL democratic reforms. Ranked choice voting. Ending the electoral college. Curtailing political gerrymandering. Converting our two-party duopololy system into an actual multi-party system.

Not to sound nihilistic or defeatist, but the odds of any of that federally passing within our lifetime has the same odds of Congress deleting the Second Amendment.

Maybe state governments can be swayed to add these amazing ideas, but good luck telling rural MAGA retards that is all actually in their best interest to add these concepts into local government.

I'm a progressive liberal, and a minority who's immigrant parents barely escaped from a fascist religious country with a helpless and disarmed population unable to fight back against the status-quo running the government.

I also have many gay and trans friends who live in opressive bleak conditions every single day and cannot trust law enforcement to fairly help them.

NO matter what happens, I will always vote in favor of less gun control, because hoping the fucking cops/military won't be full of racist/bigoted/MAGA-Trumper/fascist/religious nutjobs not intent on fucking you over is a really really stupid thing.

You are responsible for your own families well being. If you feel safe thinking you live in a fucking fairy tale utopia and most western societies are not at one catastrophic event from collapsing, you are delusional.

Appealing to the safety of children is what Republicans do to trick voters to join them. You are attempting to do the same here and have a inauthentic argument; unless you have a plan to guarantee to get rid of all weapons, people are going to kill other people including kids. I don't know if you are aware of this, but criminals and insane people don't follow the laws and will still stay armed.

And thinking an armed populace is any kind of threat to a modern military? That’s ridiculous.

Vietnam. Afghanistan. We can keep going...

So are you relying on Canada or Mexico?

I don't know if you are purposely omitting GOPs primary benefactor Russia because you are obtuse or because you are purposely trying subvert the discussion in a malicious way to attempt at an argument; and if you think Russia won't do everything in its power to support the Christofacist/MAGA/GOP/Nazi/KKK population with their US Civil War 2, then you are indeed fucking dumb.

Guns are the biggest killer of children and young adults.

This seems so far the most intelligent point you have made so far where I agree with you, but unlikely a concept you have independently considered and likely were told to think this way by someone smarter than you.

Non-sequiturs against you aside, you cannot realistically think you can disarm the entire population of the United States without Trump-level door-to-door military style invasive home inspections? Criminals and crazies will still shoot up innocent people, and if Uvalde, TX hasn't convinced you cops are unreliable for your personal safety, continue living in your fantasy.

Everything you have said here makes logical, coherent sense and have completely changed my mind to agree with you.

In other words- their entire tech industry was built on by industrial espionage and corporate theft. Now they decide to finally wrangle it in. Thanks CCP.

Pretty sure that was the goal. Now they can arrest whoever they want.

Any Trump supporters out there

Literally zero of them browse here. Your message is simply echoing in here. You should post it to Truth Social or Hexbear or whatever shithole they peruse and let us know here what their replies are.

That is a shady sketchy as fuck Russian site. Please, if anyone is reading this, DO NOT access it or put your fucking IP in there.

The problem here is that most left leaning people are fucking afraid of guns. Who the fuck do you expect to revolt with you? The cops?

BaroqueInMind, 2 months ago

I really really really wish these people would try this to cops in America. The more dead anti-vaccine morons, the better.

Protecting the population means more than funneling money into the pockets of contractors.

I think every country should enforce a mandatory conscription and include universal healthcare with that. This would solve many problems

America invented the internet, silly.

BaroqueInMind, 2 months ago

I love how you say all that and then provide ZERO sources, like I'm supposed to take the word of some random stranger on the network that Americans invented.

Ironically many are enlisted in the military so they can use the subsidized health care and mental health support that's provided free for being a veteran.

Who said anything about American military?

Then how the fuck do they know magisk is running on the phone?

BaroqueInMind, 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

So someone got payed to wait for the phone to be shipped to them, took the effort to carefully and meticulously disassemble the phone, install the new battery by micro soldering the battery leads to the mainboard, then booted it to see it blew a shitty security fuse but can still boot fine, then took the time and effort to uninstall by removing the micro solder from the battery and mainboard without damaging the phone, just to tell them they can't do it?

QI is a great show, but what happened to Stephen Frye? I see an old Dutch woman lately and wondering why they swapped him out?

I like Whitesmiths the most. Dunno why, if you forced me to answer.
