  • After 15 years of wayland development hell, I’m honestly open to anything. Problem is I can definitely see an experimental branch being just as scrutinized. One of the core issues highlighted was that features and requests were rejected because of hypotheticals and the maintainers trying to avoid fragmentation like early Xorg.

    Basic features from X11 are still missing. Everyone ended up somewhat fragmenting anyway via compositors because weston wasn’t really useful for developers beyond a demo. Wayfire started out as a Compiz redux and now its being considered by several DEs like XFCE to be the default compositor which they should standardize around.

    Regardless, I really hope they nail it down in the next year because the halfway migration to wayland is seriously harming Linux desktop, especially when lots of frontend UI has been done perfectly decades ago on X11, and wayland still not properly supporting new features like HDR.


  • tbf people have been saying this as far back as Clinton’s term.

    There was even discussion of Biden only running for one term before he was elected, yet lots of people here refused to believe anyone who wanted a new candidate was actually a republican in disguise.

    Still, no point voting for a non existent grassroots third party. Green party more or less exists for people who don’t want to vote, not a valid anti corporate solution, despite having a decent group of members.





  • Might as well be Most Islamic Countries tbh.

    Pakistan and Bangladesh buy spyware from Israel.

    Turkey and Azerbaijan buy a lot of their arms.

    Middle East in general is just screwed because it’s mostly US shills.

    Dunno enough about Southeast Asia or Africa, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they too had ties to Israel.

    I still like to think the only nation that made a proper stand was Yemen. Iran was kind of incompetent and is morally corrupt anyways. Lebanon is too fractured to have a chance of a proper leadership imo.

    Only the Houthis seemed to make a dent in Israel by attacking their supply line, which did actually have an effect.

    Otherwise there are plenty more non Islamic nations willing to do more.


  • This actually reminds me of that modified hellfire the US made in which they basically removed the explosives and installed a metal slug with blades, which they used to kill Al Qaeda and Taliban leaders in the last few years in Afghanistan.

    The idea being that the kinetic warhead would greatly reduce the collateral and allow pinpoint precision on targets in a dense area.

    Of course Israel could never. They decided to go with fitting bombs onto pagers & walkie talkies, and their age old strategy of leveling entire buildings hoping the target is inside. Gotta win that maximum civilian death trophy at any cost.









  • Emgage has been criticized by Muslim organizations, including the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations, the umbrella organization for Muslim advocacy groups in the US for its ties to groups involved in anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian activity and which attack elected Muslim lawmakers like Ilhan Omar. After these went unaddressed, the Council severed ties with Emgage.[11][12] Emgage denied the accusations, which it described as a product of “ideological cancel culture”.[13]

    A PAC is still a PAC no matter what you name it lol. Ain’t no way Dearborn is going to gladly accept getting screwed if Harris refuses to change her stance.

    They didn’t vote for Clinton and she wasn’t even that bad compared to literal genocide.






  • Coconut flavor

    Slang: Disparaging and Offensive. a person of color, especially a person of Latin American or South Asian origin or descent, who is regarded as having adopted the attitudes, values, and behavior thought to be characteristic of middle-class white society, at the expense of their ethnic heritage. Compare Oreo.

    Actually, I would argue these days it usually gets referenced exclusively to describe politicians who don’t represent the same values their cultural background would, usually in a downside.

    Don’t think Ben and Jerry’s is playing some double speak here, but I thought it was interesting nonetheless.
