Because different folks define those differently.
A democratic socialist is very different from what most people think of when they hear communist.
Also I’m very left leaning but still like some aspects of capitalism. It just needs to be regulated or else monopolies eat everything and turn capitalism into feudalism.
Oof. Meta open source. Srsly sus. •͡˘㇁•͡˘
Thanks for the rec! Looks awesome; Imma try it :)
I think pressure should be put on the US to divest from genocide. Sanctions from our allies would be helpful… Surely with the international court declaring Israel’s actions a war crime it is easy to make a case for it.
Our election system has fucked over anti-zionists and needs reforming, which is happening, but not by this November.
Ranked choice voting is gaining popularity, electoral college is under pressure and people are fed up with voter suppression and gerrymandering and things are moving in a positive direction on the local and state levels.
They’ll think the election is stolen when the bullshit polls they’ve conditioned themselves with prove false.
They will believe the new government is illegitimate and be more likely to resort to violence
I’m really rooting for SteamOS :D
More OS competition the better. As both a windows and Linux user I can tell you 100% Microsoft has been prioritizing data collection over productivity, ease of use and hardware longevity.
Their OS has become more cluttered and awkward than ever
It takes days to clear out all the pop-ups and disable all the things you don’t want. I find the ways of configuring networks and hardware is becoming more convoluted yet no more capable than window XP; nor any simpler.
To disable copilot AI assistant it took IT over a day to figure out. In our business we are legally not permitted to share client data with third parties for any reason. It required doing some obscure command line situation not documented outside of a forum post on Microsoft’s support forums. Same with installing without a Microsoft account and disabling one drive.
Unfortunately we also need to be able to use commercial software that isn’t supported under Linux and sometimes need more obscure software that is Windows only, so we are a bit stuck.
At home I use a couple Linux OSes on my workstation and servers. They are genuinely programmed to operate in as efficient and clean way as possible and I can build from there. It runs just as reliably on 15 year old hardware as it does on my latest rig. I also have a MacBook that runs really well, works seamlessly with my servers, offers the same terminal experience I have on my *nix workstations and never crashes.
*Nixes are more straight-forward, better documented and starts with most addons turned off. If you want, you can install an AI assistant. You certainly won’t have to choose to waste a day figuring out how to disable a pre-installed AI assistant or paying someone hundreds of dollars to disable it.
And I shouldn’t even start on how much a pain in the ass drive letters and fucking backslashes that need to be escaped/unescaped and translated to/from OS-X/*nix paths in data stores… And what the fuck they can’t get a proper sym-link implementation going?
They shoulda done what Apple did with OSX. Recognize OS-9 was saddled with too much complicated under-structure and start over with a clean, mature, standardized, optimized and extensible *nix. NT was a huge improvement over the OG windows, but it’s time for another refresh and what they got cooking with power Shell, Linux subsystem and their obsession with data collection and forcefeeding one cloud/copilot/accounts is not good.
Ah hell, you got me going. I’m ramblin again.
Point is, I’ve daily driven Win, OSX and *nix for decades. Hell, I started with MS-DOS 'cause Windows took too much space on my state-of-the-art 286 with 1 meg of RAM and have been a windows user for the majority of my life. Windows is the most convoluted and bloated and least secure of all the OSes. They’ve only kept their dominance through educating a generation of engineers on .net/direct-x, locking companies in with Office/outlook and promising corporations to spy on employees…
…The end.
Mitch McConnel is a complete asshole through and through and has been for as long as he’s been in politics.
He’s probably worried about being seen as a loser and is trying to bail on Trump for the sake of his shit legacy since he’s about to die
Blood is on his hands, America is weaker and the world is worse off with him being on it. He’s a shisstain in the history books, soon to be forgotten.
Yup. Don’t click that link; this kinda bullshit cant be rewarded
If you want to see pics just Google her.
We need to get libraries running mastodon/lemmy/fediverse world-wide
Oh yeah she should get called out for that.
I’d hope she would say something about the international court declaring Israel is committing war crimes and we need to address it.
She also has a point that the Trump & the GOP would be even more deaf to the injustice.
Jebus, I cant believe the engineers would allow them to be plugged wrong. It’s so easy to design that mistake away
How dare you. I would never go so low
Fr srious tho, it is really tragic. The young man especially; he was completely innocent and deserved better
Srsly, it’s clear these guys didnt play video games with controllers growing up. Could you imagine getting left drift down there!?
They should have had an entirely redundant system on there; the controller being the first item on the list and from there to the motors.
Such bad taste, sir. Have a reluctant upvote for that absolutely crushing wit.
No. The more you look into the madness the dumber you become.
These assholes feed off attention.
Much better to spend your time doing almost anything else.
Id equate it to huffing paint
Aug 11th is the peak this year. Should be good tonight too :)
When was she yelling at protestors and what did she say exactly?
Excellent point on the webp.
I’m guessing that being google’s baby they integrated it into chromium
These good Mormon boys have wrapped your answer up in a nice little song
