Completely agree! Gnome is nice but never been able to move past KDE if I had to pick a full blown DE.

Wow, a whopping 100k from Shopify, that’s awesome!

Oh for sure. I’m just glad they keep doing this harmless shit. But, the scary thing is that the more they escalate and see it doesn’t work, the more they will keep escalating.

High praise to all the people working the elections these days ❤️

Don’t understand what these people think would be accomplished by sending the stuff in the mail like that. Touching it isn’t going to do anything. Inhaling I supposed, but it would be rather difficult to accidentally inhale it especially after being packed during mailing.

At least a potato would keep their mouth shut.

Not just in a few cycles, but right now. That’s why they keep spewing the bullshit about raising the age to vote. They are already concerned and it just continues to grow.

Believe me, it’s horrible 😩

I checked the bird site so you don’t have to: yes the inciting article is being shared by people on both sides. The comments are almost solely defending his suicide and the hatred that sparked it.

Because they (wrongly) believe that being “one of the good ones” will save them from being targeted by republicans and their proposed legislation like Project 2025

That doesn’t mean people who have previously voted red are in the wrong (lots of internalized homophobia can lead to opposite beliefs). But once you realize your identity and continue to vote against yours and other people’s human rights, you’re absolutely in the wrong.

I agree with your comment, and I don’t think you’re saying otherwise. But definitely important to note that a lot of LGBT+ folks start off on the wrong side because of how they were raised, religion, etc. and the internal trans/homophobia that causes.

That said, there are also though a sizeable number of LGBT+ “one of the good ones” who think their support of republicans will keep them from being targeted by the laws they want to introduce (it won’t. This case itself is proof of that.)

I think that’s the important lesson to learn here for anyone voting republican and being a part of the LGBT community. The people you are voting for will not let you be just because you’re voting for them.

You’d think some empathy would be in order. However, judging from the comments made on the bird website, many people are actually proud of this happening.

Ridiculous that we “cant find” the money to pay the people educating the next generation more than this women is/will be making this year from posting photos and videos of herself online. Reveals a number of priorities that are out of line.

Speculation about Gaither's involvement on the platform began in mid-October when she was seen in a video posted on Coppage's account. While the video didn't include Gaither's face, it was recorded at a party, and she was seen in a public picture wearing the same costume that was worn in the video posted on OnlyFans, according to the report.

So are we not going to call into question the “professionalism” of whoever found this video? Or did someone just accidentally make their way to onlyfans and pay to access her content. 🙄

You left out the best part.

“What do you mean, ‘woke’?” I ask. She opens her mouth. Half-words and phrases stumble and tumble around. A few talking points from news sources fall out. Finally, she sighs. “I don’t know. Just tell me again what you write.”

The absolutely number one thing that allowed me to actually use the thing though was Yabai+SKHD. Tiled windows and the full customization of hotkeys make this thing so much more usable and, frankly - surprisingly - it’s grown on me.

That isn’t an iDevice specific issue. It’s how a ton of mobile devices handle charging of the battery for various reasons, including the obvious one of you being mid boot and losing power to the device.

It's really imperative that we stop analyzing everything from the perspective of the past and what worked in the past while ignoring both the new possibilities we have now and the differences from the past. Just because people in the past were able to migrate with less means neither that they can do so now nor - more importantly - that they should have to. There is absolutely zero reason these days to have tends of thousands of people living homeless, with numerous millions more living in or on the verge of poverty. Saying "just leave and move somewhere else" is not a solution that makes good use of the available resources that we have.

That's the root of the problem. Complacency and elitism. Living in the past. I won't make assumptions on your feelings or beliefs, but the same points that you are making are the same ones that those at the top constantly make to legitimize their negligence to do any bit of good for the rest of us. Because those very people would love to continue living in the past. Why would they want to see change?

And believe me, I understand that for some people it makes perfect sense to move. I'd imagine that many of these CSU faculty have that option available to them as they are likely in much more fortunate situations. Telling them though to leave - or creating and maintaining the conditions to support that - is the worst thing they could possibly do. Texas, Florida, and other states made these same decisions - not through economics but through social policy - and pushed out doctors and academics. Now, health care access has plummeted and numerous educators have left the state or exited the field. All at the detriment of the people who don't have the ability to get out themselves.

If you can think of some way that a family who has no savings and is living paycheck to paycheck can simply get up and move themselves to another state in any reasonable way…I think there are a lot of people who would love to hear it.

That last though is the average "pull oneself up by one's bootstraps" line of thinking that is keeping millions of Americans in poverty.

What a heaping pile of garbage.

• not “anyone” can just get up and move at will. People have families to support - often extending outside their own household. Expenses going toward living in the state can eat up any bit of money that might go into savings to move.
• not everyone wants to live in California just for “lifestyle”. There’s a range of reasons why you would live there - or anywhere else.
• if you’re suggesting that the people who can move - like health care professionals and academics - do so instead of the government doing something about the situation, you should look and see what happens whenever large numbers of them leave their states (I.e. Texas or Florida)
