It’s not a hard problem to understand.

The Democratic Party is a right wing party already as it is. Center-right at best. And they are trying to court the fascist vote.

They brought the Cheneys on stage for fucks sake.

Problem is that Trump does fascism better than they ever could. So they are not getting those votes. But they are alienating the left vote and those people won’t show up.

In addition to that the demonization of men by the online left is pushing the newer generations right.

A random man is not more dangerous than a random bear.

Pushing shit like this in the face of impressionable young people does harm and makes sure they know you do not have their back. So why should they have yours ?

You really should listen to them though. They are telling you exactly what they want.

Ignoring them and then being surprised and mad they didn’t show up wasn’t the play. And it will continue not being the play.

The title is so tone deaf that made me not wanna read the rest of the article.

Kamala didn’t represent hope. She represented the “nothing will fundamentally change” stance.

Badass.

In think it comes from flathub not having many cli applications in it. I’d love to drop snaps for Flatpak only. But I can get so many snaps that aren’t on flathub it’s crazy.

They do make some strange choices. But yeah, I agree. Also, on Gnome, everything else feels a bit rough around the edges.

Pretty accurate meme though.

iPhone 16 pro. Too early to tell but this might be my favorite ever.

Previous ones I also really enjoyed were all nexus or pixels but they all inevitably shit themselves after a couple years of use. Most recent one pixel 7 just decided it was gonna drain 6% battery per hour while idling out of nowhere. And nothing I tried fixed it. And I tried a lot.

Mlem looks the best but it feels choppy as hell. So I’m using voyager instead still quite good and runs smooth.

Hm. Not sure if it’s because I’ve stuck with gnome and kde. But both definitely freeze often during high I/o or intense processing times.

On multiple machines and multiple distros. It’s one of the most annoying things about it really.

Just proton. VPN + drive + pass is great.

Not often. Mostly because the official app is so unbearably trash.

Passkeys are basically passwords that you don’t send to the server. So they are safer against phishing.

Basically the server has a message. They will scramble it with your public key. And send it to you. Your private key unscrambles the message and then you send the message back to them. So if they receive the original message back. They know you are you. And they never got their hands on your private key at any point. It’s awesome.

2fa is an entirely different thing. And I do wish it was more standard how it works. Some places if you lose it you lose your account (bitwarden). Others you don’t (protonmail).

Everyone should use passkeys. 2fa you have to decide if your case warrants it.

Edit: example of passkeys:

Step 1: they have the message “cat”

Step 2: they encrypt it with your public key and it becomes “acm”

Step 3: they send you the encrypted message “acm”

Step 4: you decrypt the message “acm” into “cat” with your private key.

Step 5: you send them back the message “cat”

Only your private key would be able to decrypt something encrypted with your public key. So they now know you are you. And they never got a hand on your private key. It’s the same as a password except you never send it directly to the server.

Personal stuff is mostly on my phone. And I’ll just sync to the computer what’s needed.

All my code and projects are on GitHub/codeberg.

All my personal info and photos are on proton drive.

If Linux shits itself (and it does often) who cares. I can have it up and running again in a fresh install in ten minutes.

Funny. I didn’t know a single thing about the person. But that commit message made me like him more.

Ofc assuming he was just making a light-hearted joke in it.

Depends on the license I suppose.

Most of the issue is that they’re unreliable. Sometimes the app will work. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes you have to fiddle blindly with flatseal settings, which ones? Who knows? Guessing is part of the fun.

It’d be a great thing if it just worked.

Is not using Adobe a realistic option in professional settings atm?

Just go on Khan academy and do a lesson a day. It will take time(years) but you’ll learn.
