Initially I was convinced Biden had the right intentions, and somehow I still like to believe he does. But his political weakness in this conflict is inexcusable, and will hang as a dark cloud over his legacy.

Probably more realistic, I was just working out of the premise that history would repeat itself.

Little more than four years from now, the insurrectionist crowd will be chanting “hang JD Vance”. And JD Vance will chant along.

I get where he’s coming from. As a childless dog man you’re bound to gets bit of a cold sweat when your fascist party starts going after the childless cat ladies.

Sure, for now it’s women that they hate. But he knows he’s next.

Questionable conservativism

Is there any other kind.

Vance once admitted that working class Americans benefit from Democrat policies

Not saying it, but admitting it. They all know it; you’re just not supposed to admit it. Lol.

I recently moved to Denmark. A lot of my stuff is from the trash, including a huge old school full wood dinner table, TV, and my stereo system (works as a charm, sounds amazing). I also picked up an amazing old cast iron frying pan.

I make sure to check the big thrash (storeskrald) regularly. Things pop up there that I would never have afforded myself if I had to pay for it.

I think Denmark/Copenhagen is a bit crazy in this regard though.

Here’s a GNOME blog post from a couple of years ago. But really it’s about GTK4 - apps designed for GNOME are made to be adaptive. So if you’re using a GNOME desktop you can experience it yourself by simply making windows of the core apps smaller, be it GNOME Web, Maps, Weather, Calendar, or a huge range of other apps. Apps like Spot (Spotify client), Tuba (Mastodon), Shortwave (radio), and Podcasts are also perfectly adaptable for mobile devices. Basically apps in the GNOME Circle should work well on mobile, and many of them have screenshots that illustrate how they look in different form factors.

Also, this.

Oh, she’s a woman. They’ve always hated her.

More than anything, the problem is apps. I installed Ubuntu Touch on an old device I had lying around (after replacing the battery to bring it back to life), and I ended up liking it more than my daily driver. It worked, the interface was snappy (no pun intended), and there’s a lot of solid design choices. I found myself trying to navigate with gestures on my android phone after.

However, I could not talk to my friends, who unfortunately use WhatsApp. I could not install my banking app. There’s a bunch of small thorns in the side that makes changing difficult for most users - kind of like in the early days of desktop Linux.

As in the early days of desktop Linux, the solution might lie in a compatibility layer (like WINE). Android emulation within at least Ubuntu Touch has gotten quite good, I believe. Unfortunately my device is too old to support it.

Those interested should also check out Postmarket OS.

GNOME, a major desktop environment, is also moving towards all apps being designed for all types of devices. But as long as people can’t use their banks, switching is hard.

They must be worried denouncing their friend the black nazi would make them appear racist. Bless them.

With the current state of the GOP, they’re probably still trying to figure out whether their voters are more concerned by the “black” or the “nazi” part of his statement.

If you want something that could actually be useful in real-life situations, pick up running.

It’s a thread about the Green Party, those trolls don’t bother coming here. The third party enthusiasts only show up for the Harris threads.

…speaking of good faith.

It’s a two party system. Everybody knows if you run as a third party you’re merely increasing the chances that the ones furthest from you politically will be elected.

It’s impossible for a third party candidate to be running for president in the US in good faith unless they’re complete fucking idiots with no idea how the political system works.

Jill Stein knows how the system works. So obviously she’s not acting in good faith.

Simple as that.

Yeah, that part was written with some specific people in mind. It has a broader appeal than that. It has, however, also a well established position as a rich person’s drug. And fuck those people in particular.

It’s so close. If only the GOP could produce one politician who merely had a history of going to wild consensual drug-filled sex parties. But no, there always seems to be freaking children involved. What the fuck.

Also, fuck cocaine. Fuck people who take cocaine as a party drug. Fuck people who think it only hurts themselves. it has fucked up an entire fucking continent and caused immeasurable damage. And everybody knows it. Drug cartels are financed by the consumers, and the users are smug rich people who have every reason to know better. It’s not even an interesting drug.

Fuck yourself up with synthetic stuff, eat shrooms or lick toads, grow as much weed as you can possibly manage. I don’t give a fuck. But cocaine… Nah, fuck that shit.

For a lot of people it’s difficult to understand that anyone would genuinely prefer not living in a house. The word homeless does not give the best connotations after all.

You can insist you’re fine, but men tend to do that anyway. The social worker might have grown up in bad conditions with a father insisting he’s fine and refusing to receive help, for all we know. There’s several reasons they could take it personally. And men who refuse to receive help when they need it can be frustrating to watch - chances are you’re wrongfully considered part of that category.

Yup! There’s that thing you can hang the towel from, I consider that side “up”.

I deviced this system as a child, I have honestly never stopped to think about whether it’s reasonable or not.

Top to bottom-ish. But I consistently use one side of the towel for my face, and the other side for my junk. I know it doesn’t matter as I have cleaned up everywhere anyway, but I like to keep it separated anyway.

There’s that Al Franklen quote about Ted Cruz.

I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.

Reading this comment section made me realise I feel the same way about Hillary Clinton.
