The file explorer has some pretty limited options, and not many features. Or at least, it doesn't have some of the features I like by default.

It does have zorin connect, which is really nice, but I later found it it is a re-skinned version of KDE connect, so not much is lost by moving to another distro on that front.

It also seemed to not have as good windows support for certain things. BG3 kept on crashing on me for some unknown reason, with zero error messages to troubleshoot. On mint it worked first try, like it ought to.

At the end of the day, zorin just isn't as customizable as I want, whereas mint is.

The degree to which a nation is homogeneous is not the qualifying factor for whether an action is considered ethnic cleansing. It is instead the effect, and the effect of forcing Palestinians out of their homes, out of Gaza, counts as ethnic cleansing.

It's also not just based on race, it's also got to do with religion.

Gotta love a bribery based legislature system.

Where exactly has Israel done this recently?

They've been doing it for decades.

As for the more recent:

Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, and religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making a region ethnically homogeneous. Along with direct removal, extermination, deportation or population transfer, it also includes indirect methods aimed at forced migration by coercing the victim group to flee and preventing its return, such as murder, rape, and property destruction.[3][4][5] It constitutes a crime against humanity and may also fall under the Genocide Convention, even as ethnic cleansing has no legal definition under international criminal law

Attacking someone across your border because they’re killing people near yours is war.

Civilians are getting killed and forced out of their homes, all based on race. It's an apartheid, and an ethnic cleansing.

Defense does not necessitate apartheid or ethnic cleansing.

I made the switch about a two months ago. I'm using my windows side of my dual boot a hell of a lot less than I thought I would, mostly thanks to steam's proton.

Started with zorin, but eventually landed on mint.

That, and ending the apartheid.

Eventually they'll just shut down the APIs that allow that to happen just like reddit did. There will still be workarounds to that, but it will make things harder.

The thing I worry about is if they go so far as to ban people's google accounts for violating the TOS like this. I'm sure they can find out exactly who is doing it through an IP lookup even if you are using a front-end client.

It's best to migrate everything off google accounts now before that happens. Google has too much power.

They're capitalists. It's what they do.

One more time… It. Will. Never. Happen.

That's what people said about landing on the moon and airplanes.

All the downvotes in the world aren’t going to change that.

No. It's the NPVIC that'll do it.

So either learn to win elections with it, or shut the fuck up and go away.

Nope. I'm always going to advocate for an electoral system that makes sense instead of the abomination we have now.

People want something better, telling the majority of Americans to shut the fuck up and go away is childish. We need reform.

Approval/STAR would be even better, but I'd take RCV over FPTP

politicians can safely ignore rural areas that provide all of the food to the cities because they don’t matter votes-wise

They already do. Politicians only focus on swing states, and the cities within those swing states.

They may on occasion visit rural areas, but 9 times out of 10 they are in a city when they are campaigning.

All votes should count equally. Anything less is bullshit.

Oh for fucks sakes, it isn’t going away, so you can stop fantasizing about something that won’t happen.

Every day we get closer to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact getting triggered, effectively killing the electoral college. Doomerism isn't going to get us anywhere.

If one side is gaming the system, then find a way to work around it.

If the system is gamed then it needs fixed. Which it is and does. Our elections should not be gamed.

Americans will find any excuse not to vote.

That's not really what's happening here. Americans are frustrated that their votes are essentially meaningless if they are not in a swing state, and that the value of your vote is dependent on where you live.

All votes should be equal.
