I’ve been using Linux for twenty years. I didn’t use KDE until they declared Plasma 5 ready for primetime. (I hated Plasma 4, and didn’t like the look and feel of KDE 3.5 at all)
Since hopping on with Plasma 5 I have absolutely no interest in anything else. I love KDE Plasma and it just keeps getting better.
That’s me in OP.
I changed it to AI so precisely that no one would ever know it wasn’t the original image. Well ok, I actually sloppily pasted it in with a white box, but good enough I say!
I wish I thought you were being ridiculous.
I’ve got a lot of worry about how much time he still has to get this passed, and about the viability of the midterms in general. I’m very worried he finds a way to suspend them, or actually gets this bill passed. (Or both)
Yep somehow I did. I knew it had to be something like that.
I was hoping it was something like that. I must have just missed it somehow.
They’re already impossible to deny as concentration camps,
The media needs to start calling them that before it will make it into the consciousness of the vast majority of people who aren’t paying as much attention as we are.
I keep waiting for the first major media outlet to have the courage to do so, but I suspect it’s going to get a lot worse before I get my wish.
I was the same. “They must have had a reason…”
I used to assume police were generally trustworthy and I could believe their version of any given event. Now I believe nothing they say without supporting video evidence.
I’m kind of amazed they admitted this. Under any other president I’d have been slightly surprised they admitted it, but with Trump lackeys in charge of seemingly everything at the federal level I’m outright stunned that they admitted it.
Good points, especially this one:
To me, the fact that it happened nowhere near Iran is the bigger deal. It means that parts of the world that aren’t aligned with either side in the war now have to wonder what might explode in their own territory.
I skipped right over that but it’s part of it for sure.
I just learned that five minutes ago, and it really does make it even worse.
It feels different in a few ways to me. One, it feels much more personal and “fuck you in particular.” It’s one thing to lob missiles at a base and fuck whoever happens to be there, but you KNOW there’s a real possibility that you kill every mother effer on that ship if you hit it with a torpedo.
I’m not articulating it very well, but it’s just got a different sort of cruelty that something like shelling an airbase just lacks for me.
This sinking seems like a really big deal to me, but I don’t feel like it’s been treated that way. Everyone seems to react like it’s just another example of Trump being shitty, and it is, but also, we sank another country’s warship with a torpedo. That seems pretty momentous no matter what country it was.
This is the clear solution and I can’t believe it doesn’t get brought up more often.
I have been getting ever more smug and feeling more vindicated about this decision every day for the past two years.
This is so true. I’m at about twenty years since I switched and Microsoft has done nothing but validate my decision over and over and over since then. I sincerely feel bad for people who still use Windows.
So bleak and so accurate at the same time.
Gnome 3 was a huge paradigm shift. Most people who noped out of Gnome afterwards disliked very specific things about it, not just hating change for being change. This is a really dismissive and kind of insulting take.
