OH! i misinterpreted your thread starter. i thought… never mind what i thought. nevermind 🤣

yes.

this is something that makes me wish more casual document writers would migrate away from MS office

i’d be interested to learn about this

i was coming in here to recommend exactly that!

food! food is such a great communicator of who you are and what you’ve experienced

until further notice assume every billionaire is implicated

so. epstein’s cover story as a finacier was that if you wanted to get a thing funded or to get a project in front of someone who could greenlight it, you could go to him and he could introduce you. he was referred to as a matchmaker for money. the reality of course it turned out is that he was who oligarchs went to when they wanted to fuck a vulnerable child from the global south. so when people went to him to introduce them to someone else, how he knew whoever it was was from his experience as a professional sex pest.

they took all the wrong lessons from NodeJS and have slowly been making themselves irrelevant outside of bleeding edge and rolling release distros. from the GNOME devolopers i’ve talked to, they don’t see this as any of their concern because they’re still the leading desktop environmnet, however, more and more i see Qt becoming the general development target, and i don’t see that changing unless GNOME starts treating Gtk as something GNOME is built around rather than as something that makes developing GNOME apps easy. KD, and LXDE together make up more of the user desktops than GNOME, XFCE, and Cinnamon, and GNOME is the only one of those that even supports the latest versions of Gtk.

they’ve been alienating users for 15 years now, and they refuse to change course. i don’t think it will be long until KDE is the leading desktop environment purely because GNOME refuses to treat critiques of their desktop as legitimate concerns from frustrated users rather than as opportunities to create something better. it will eventually get to a point where only the people who treat Richard Stallman as a religious figure will still be around

it’s getting hard to differentiate his ideas that are intentionally scams and his ideas that are just ketamine fueled insanity

having targetted both Qt api and the new Libadwaita api, this is going to happen more and more. the new GTK APIs are a pain in the ass and it’s pretty clear they only target GNOME, and since GNOME 4, there’s been no guarantee of API backwards compatiblity. it’s a nightmare.

fascists are also opportunistic backbiting bitches always looking for the moment to turn on eachother

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Grange

fraternal order with an overall left-wing populist stand on most things founded right after the civil war. fundamentally, granges represent a form of mutual aid with a bit more structure, a bit more hierarchy, and a bit more pre-existing connections into local communities than starting a new mutual aid project from scratch.

they’re a bit more direct in how they seek to help people through politics than things like the odd fellows or rotary clubs, but also a little bit more explicitly political. that said, for the experience of being in a church and removing harmful aspects, they have a lot of the same features:

• community meetings
• broad coordination of support across long distances
• a purposeful attempt to influence society at large through outreach and financial influence

trump will say anything. he doesn’t support mamdani, at least not in action. but trump wants to be popular and for people to like him, so he will attach himself to anything successful. he loved the new england patriots until the kansas city chiefs became the dynasty to beat. suddenly he was talking about patrick mahomes constantly.

the criticism for that meeting should purely go on mamdani allowing his brand to be attached to a fascist. but that gets into that electoralism will never save us because politicians who play political games to curry favor are inherently compromised. however, the value of electoralism is that it can help us put people who will allow us to organize on the margins in office as we grow our movement

i think the incompetence comes into play from knowing the risk but proceeding for the memes. and like. look. respect to doing luthery as a form of stunt work. but all amateur stuntwork is ultimately a form of incompetence. it’s cool, and respectworthy. but it’s also not… the competent thing to do to see a magnet break a slat, realize it can break your finger, and then press on to do it.

look for granges and mutual aid projects. that’s been my experience. they offer the community and the mutual support, put without the guilt, shame, and hate

places with above ground lines are effectively low priority for the municipality and utility companies. it’s the common way in places where it’s common because short term benefits are always treated as more important than long term benefits

yeah this is the era of COINTELPRO, they were only helping minorities while on camera

wouldn’t really expect it to be

ah! a duck foot friend! i’ve had my best luck with vivobarefoot for closed toe options
