  • It’s been great almost since I started using it.

    I started using it exactly when 4.0 came out, because that’s when I started using Linux and I thought learning 3 didn’t make sense. But 4 only got stable around 4.4 I think. The problem was that 4.0 wasn’t intended to be for end users yet, but distributions didn’t realize that and packaged it right away.

    KDE didn’t repeat that mistake. 5.0 was almost completely smooth sailing (some applications took a long time to port and looked ugly, that’s it), and 6.0 was completely seamless.







  • Hilarious. Let me think about who I’d vote for if I was US-American. The Fascist or the at least slightly socially progressive neoliberals? It’s anyone’s guess really. NO. Of course the Dems, fucking obviously.

    So if I was US-American and also hit in the head enough to consider voting for third party in a country with a first-past-the-post voting system, I’d not vote for the Dems as a result.

    This is called the spoiler effect. This makes her a spoiler candidate, no matter her intention.


  • It’s not perfect, but it’s good introductory material for people who fell for the right-wing propaganda of “everybody’s called a fascist now, there isn’t even a definition”.

    Yes, suckers, there are people with an understanding of what fascism is, and they agree for a reason about the dangers of things like calling people vermin, casting doubt on election integrity, and strong man rhetoric.




  • You’re talking as if there weren’t pedagogic professionals who have solved this problem. If a child is that unwilling to conform even slightly, the child either has special needs and doesn’t belong there, or, more likely, there’s shit going down at the child’s home and CPS need to get involved.

    I’m thoroughly baffled that you think there’s any kind of argument to be made for corporeal punishment. The scientific world has solved and moved on a century ago. The backwater sticklers who still don’t get it are harmful Luddites, not people with opinions to take seriously.


  • Yeah, the Nazis weren’t really subtle. If you instead maintain a civil front inward for public support, you can wreak havoc more effectively.

    That’s why fascism is a different kind of danger. It wouldn’t leech off of other places for centuries, it would explosively and directly attack internal and external enemies.

    Neither of these things can be risked.
