It’s crab-bucket public relations.

If you drag everyone down to your level, everyone looks bad, or at least you don’t look as bad by comparison and the voting public loses confidence in the system in general, which tends to benefit fascists.

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.

Aren’t these things trackable? Don’t phones have an IMEI and can’t they be remote-bricked if stolen?

I mean, police don’t care, but Apple could render these useless if they wanted to.

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

A better idea is to do to the Democratic Party what the Tea Party and MAGA did to the Republicans.

Primary out corporate candidates and push for progressive ones at every level. President, congressional rep, school board trustee, dog-catcher: it doesn’t matter.

The problem progressive voters have is that they don’t show up, and the especially don’t show up during off years, in primaries and in down-ballot races. The polticial right, by comparison, has been getting people in place on small races for years.

Sanders did more for progressivism by enthusing Democratic members to vote in primaries and down-ballot races than Stein or any third party has ever done, and we’re seeing results. It needs to continue.

If you thought Viagra and Ozempic had a market, just wait…

This will be huge amongst the wealthy.

Jesus Christ, if that’s real, the WaPo editorial board needs a slap upside the head.

Stop. Rationalizing. Trump.

What it it with right wingers and stupid hair?

Yup, Ron Jr.

He’s actually very progressive, especially given his upbringing.

Sorry, the double-negative threw me for a loop.

The Boomers fought in world wars?

In utero, maybe.

You could start taxing them. Especially the rich ones.

You know that’s an option, right?

Oh, if only that were true.

But what about that one guy who writes absolutely brilliant VB?

Putting aside the obvious concerns, a mayor doing this and using “it’s the same as the maintenance guy” should be a red flag.

I’ve worked in companies where high-level people take it upon themselves to do operational work. It’s at best pointless retail poltics, and at worst it’s rampant bikeshedding.

I’m sure China would be equally amenable to a peace proposal that would allow Taiwan part of the mainland, or would allow Tibet autonomy.

China, in other words, can fuck right off.

No, it’s much more mundane; Netanyahu just wants to stay out of prison.

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!

Depressingly, also Fetterman.
