Nancy was effectively president for Reagan’s second term. People were mad about Biden, but they also hid how far gone Reagan was. FDR, too.

Cute.

I don’t think that degree of optimism is justified.

My notes on this are a little old, but:

No VRA protections, voter purges/caging (Crosscheck), targeted disenfranchisement & gerrymandering, insecure/unauditable voting machines, undermined census, and gaming the electoral college, all impact the fairness of our elections, on top of the naive first-past-the-post implementation.

It depends, up to four works for some apps depending on monitor size, but otherwise I do the same thing as @Nibodhika@lemmy.world.

Overlapping window managers, the most common type in use by far, just seem crazy to me. Windows almost never use the available monitor space, and they have to constantly be wrangled around each other so that… you can drag something instead of using the clipboard, I guess?

You don’t usually have them all open at the same time, you minimize some. Or maybe you add more monitors.

Thanks for digging into that!

Do you have any references for this? I only ask because “cities are dangerous shitholes” has been a talking point of reactionaries for a long time.

There’s a lot of hope being pinned on the probably uncorroborated testimony of a coconspirator being questioned by agents of a prime suspect. I have a hard time seeing either side accepting anything that comes out of it.

A lot of hate for this, but it’s true.

Incumbents aren’t to blame for voters picking the familiar, that’s a symptom of another problem.

We’re seeing what an inexperienced government looks like now. They don’t know the limitations they’re supposed to have, and they don’t care.

Talk is cheap. They may say anything to buy time as they make deals between the EU, Canada, and Japan that exclude the US.

Functionally, it’s the default because links do open in it, but why isn’t it able to tell that it’s already set?

No, I wouldn’t. It’s how I can tell if the setting actually took!

Maybe you checked “stop asking”?

Well that’s frustrating. I may need to check that again.

Yeah, this was always the goal of HF’s SCOTUS sleeper cell.

They always seem to have some critical limitation. Handbrake is too slow via flatpak to work. Flatpak Zoom had no camera access. Flatpak-only Zen browser can’t use passkeys. Zen browser asks to be my default browser every time I open it, even though it is and I always say yes; is this a flatpak limitation? I don’t know, and I’d prefer not to have to figure it out just for some theoretical benefits and more overhead.
