I’ve also done this.

I am no longer using Cosmic – while I really liked it, it is still in alpha, and day-to-day was a bit janky in its current state. I am absolutely going to return to it once it matures.

I didn’t switch OS; simply went back to pop shell / gnome (session title: “Pop on Wayland”).

Damn, you’d really think these bozos would have learned to read a room by now, you know?

Because they’re underwhelming, on the whole.

The Dems won’t win anything again until the party is massively restructured. Moving to the center has failed again and again and again.

You know what the other side is also doing? Moving rightward.

Tbh, I’m super into this. Especially if the range could be extended slightly or if the truck is somewhat hackable.

But then… Bezos. Ugh.

Probably never masturbate again

They’d just give such a rando some actual position after the fact to save face

I’ve actually seen some pushback on this in conservative comments – but also a huge number saying things like “he’s trolling”.

The hypocrisy and double standards are absolutely maddening.

Mandrake. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. But I did get it installed.

100% agree.

Sure. But the costs for implementing such a thing are certainly above simply using the tools on the platform on which the dev has decided to release their work. If they disagree, don’t release it there.

This idea that the consumer should do something additional besides giving you money is a nonstarter.

Yeah the pump and dump is clear. Too bad his supporters are so slow.

And Trump surrounds himself with family members, media personalities, other grifters, and people with generational wealth.

When I was younger, I used to think that “the UK is halfway between the US and Europe”.

It has never felt more true than recently.

But remember: the design and initial implementation of the internet was paid for by the populace. It is supposed to be filled with cool and useful, free stuff.

Corporate interests and “web 2.0” have turned it into a weird hellscape of misinformation and targeted advertising. It was not designed for it.

It’s the walled garden thing that gets me. At some point, people got complacent. I’m 100% confident that there is an entire swath of the population which has never considered that Discord is a corporate entity with corporate interests. We made open standards for a reason.

(I disagree with this, and Stern is also a shit person)

But about Rogan “playing centrist”: this is always the way. Convince people you’re just as lost as they are, while objectively not being so based on your podcast deals and metrics. Then slowly shift based on your actual positions.

You get both a) more people following in the first place, and b) an excuse to point to when you get called out for being yet another fascist.

Maybe tariffs were just a way to convert what could have been corporate greed into Trumpian incompetence

It’s always projection.

Start asking MAGA who paid them to be MAGA.
