Ooh, big text!

Elected Democrat officials in many states shut down small businesses, while declaring big corporations like Walmart and Amazon "essential"

Elected Democrat officials caused people to die of non-covid causes by denying them access to things like Alcoholics Anonymous and other programs to sober up.

Elected Democrat officials hurt development of children with lockdowns lasting more than a year.

Elected Democrats granted exceptions to the covid restrictions of 2020 and 2021 to protests they agreed with while demanding that small businesses and parks stay closed for "social distancing."

Elected officials printed a shit ton of money to bail corporations out for covid and then act like they have no clue why inflation is so bad.

Elected officials put thousands of my unionized brothers and sisters out of work with executive orders.

Elected officials caused domestic violence to skyrocket, mental health to decline, and now they're talking about more lockdowns after promising that anyone getting the vaccines would not spread the virus.

Elected Democrats can't even be bothered to codify things like abortion and gay marriage, but it's always someone else's fault, fodder for the next election cycle.

My point is, neither side actually gives a shit. I agree with most of what you're saying about Republicans, but Democrats just do not give a shit either. They just play the blame game. Nothing will get done because all of these politicians are laughing their way to the bank while everybody else bickers.

First of all, not every conservative is a Trump supporter. Second, there are a number of loud liberals on TikTok who have said things like "cis people need to delete themselves." It goes both ways.

Assuming everybody who votes differently from you or is in the opposing party is exactly the same is just as harmful as taking for granted that everything everybody on your side does or says is 100% correct. This binary view of politics has been exacerbated by social media, and it is doing a lot of harm. Both sides are basically at the point where they're convinced that the other side wants them dead. It's fucking crazy.

I disagree. Too many people take one side or the other, take for granted that their side is 100% correct, and refuse to believe anyone could possibly be center.

Nope, I don't like the sound either. I didn't like it on the model M on the IBM PS/2 either.

I did. I deleted my Reddit account on July 2. I was using Lemmy.world as my main since the middle of June, but lately I've been using this instance because of lemmy.world's constant issues.

I refuse to use the official Reddit app, and while Narwhal is fine and all, it seems like any third-party app's days are numbered, whether they pay up or not. And while spez said Old Reddit isn't going anywhere, he also said he wasn't going to copy Elon.

Remember when Canonical used to give away installation CDs to anyone who asked? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Same. I don't understand why it is the most popular desktop on Linux. It's like the Windows 8 of Linux GUIs.

You could always join wayland.social

One can only hope that The Site Formerly Known as Twitter will bankrupt him.

Hey, you managed to make it damn near perfect before your trip! Glad you had fun!

Came here to say this. ChatGPT is very good at coming up with convincing bullshit. Always do your own research.

Web devs never learn.

Chrome is the new IE.

The popular choice isn't always the best one.

Looks like Lockdown Mode disables many advanced web features. Wouldn't surprise me if Voyager depends on some of those features.

Maybe the Linux version was ahead of Mac and Windows in 2008. It was already crap then. lol

Are you using the Progressive Web App, Test Flight, or App Store version? If you're using the app store version, did you try the PWA (or vice versa)?

I'm not a dev; I'm just trying to gather more info.

Really? I always hated it. It was such a resource hog compared to Firefox, and that only got worse as Firefox improved.

My main Linux distro at the time, Fedora, wouldn't even ship Chromium because of how difficult and inefficient it was to package. It leaves a bunch of Google crap on Mac too.

Was it better on Windows or something? Because it's always been crap on Linux and Mac.

I do think they know these companies are invasive, but they don't fully understand the ramifications of it, nor do they care to.

Yeah, people knew enough to ditch IE for Firefox, but I think Google's marketing convinced everybody that Chrome was the best. Most people tell me they use Chrome because it's the fastest.
