Yeah... we know...

Let's face it. Nothing makes any sense anymore.

Anyone feeling this way was traumatized by the crap the Democrats and Fauci did in 2020 and 2021. "Rules for thee, but not for me."

This is why half the country votes Republican, and I can see where they are coming from. Anyone who experiences this "pandemic skip" and still thinks their politicians handled it correctly has Stockholm syndrome.

This is a rambling of how Wayland supposedly forces everybody to use GNOME, which is BS.

The rant even includes an admission that the author didn't even know what Wayland was when it was written.

Please add more examples to the list.

How about an example of Wayland forcing me to use GNOME like this rant alleges? I hate GNOME but have been using KDE with Wayland for like two years now.

Hey, all I want is for Linux hardware vendors to stop selling nvidia's trash!

You're delusional if you think Biden isn't racist. Or very susceptible to his gaslighting.

Just hope Biden doesn't mistake you for Corn Pop.

Because you're on kbin. I don't use kbin because of the lack of an API and because of weird bugs like those.

We need election reform. But before anything can be done, people need to get out of their echo chambers and stop denying that "both sides" people exist. Stop taking for granted that everything your chosen team does is 100% right. Start looking at your own side critically. As it is now, the majority of the population is convinced that the other half of the population is a bunch of fascist bootlickers and refuses to listen to anything they have to say, and they take for granted that their side is the only correct choice. Most people are actually pretty purple but won't admit it.

And keep in mind that as long as everybody thinks that way, nothing will ever get fixed in this country. Both Team Red and Team Blue know what's up. They know people will defend their side and demonize the other, while they're all taking care of the billionaires and laughing all the way to the bank.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Oh absolutely. Instead of fighting the establishment, political discourse has devolved into "Oh you don't like Person A? Then you must be a FASCIST who is licking Person B's boots!"

And to think we could have had this guy instead of the narcissist and lost Roomba that won the last two elections...

Democrats are complacent because Trump exists and people will vote blue no matter who. I'm so tired of their fake outrage.

Yeah, I know maybe like two other people who use Firefox. Everybody else uses Chrome. And it's been that way for the last decade or so.

I still prefer Firefox, but I worry about its future because most people, including web developers, just don't care.

Development of IE stagnated after Microsoft put Netscape out of business, because Microsoft got complacent, until Mozilla resurrected the remains of Netscape and saved the web. Then Chrome came along and Google convinced almost everybody to switch to it, including competing browsers like Opera. Chrome was originally based on Safari's WebKit (a fork of Konqueror's rendering engine KHTML), but then Google forked it (Blink) so they'd maintain control of it.

From what I've heard, most web devs only test on Chrome since every browser other than Firefox and Safari is based on it. And nobody seemed to care until very recently, because they didn't think a browser based on an open source project could possibly be a problem.

I'm honestly not surprised any of this happened, and I stick to Firefox and Safari myself, but I do worry about the ramifications of getting a real Chrome on the iPhone and iPad. I never liked Chrome and don't want to be forced to use it.

This is the last thing holding Google back from total domination of the web browser space. You know most people will just download Chrome when something doesn't work, since they already use it on their PC/Mac.

While I don't think that holding users hostage is the best thing to do, the reality is that enough people just don't care, and the iPhone and iPad's popularity forces web devs to make their sites work on Safari and not just Chrome. Once a real Chrome is available on iOS, all bets are off.

All they have to do is say the magic word: "Cosmetic"

True, but Biden's on stage telling everybody how racist MAGA Republicans are while uttering racist crap himself and dodging questions about the racist policies he's pushed.

We need better options, and I'm tired of people telling me I am not allowed to criticize Biden because Trump exists. Neither one of them is good for this country. We could argue about the lesser of two evils, but the lesser of two evils is still evil.
