I’m going out on a limb here, and guessing you have a high end video card that is causing probably 99% of your problems, likely an NVidia.

I’m using KDE on MXLinux on a old macbook, and I don’t have these graphical glitches you mention.

I’d cut the booze, but yeah, I toke up. A lot.

Enjoy your evening. I mean that honestly.

Ok, now I see you just wanna argue. Have a good time then.

For all the failures of the US, or other liberal democracies… Yes, they can vote fascism right into power, and we have, in the US, and in Germany in the 1930’s too.

However, let’s not pretend this is exclusive to liberal democracies… Lest we forget how quickly the oligarchs captured the socialist movement in Russia in the 1910’s. Not even two years post-revolution, the Soviets were also murdering the working class for high crimes such as “Doing a labor strike” or “Daring to use a system other than Leninism”…

Literally voting for your reps is not what the government of Russia is, though… So, yes, representative democracies are sub-optimal, but they are better than a straight up oligarchy, which means “People with money and power have all the say”.

Right, the fascist capitalists.

An oligarchy is not a democracy… Not even a “liberal western democracy”, aka “Constitutional Democratic Republic”…

Now, if you wanna get all pedantic and all, we certainly can.

You misspelled “oligarchy” there.

Musk literally told everyone he was bringing back all the fash assholes that were banned, and to do everything to amplify their voices.

Did nobody believe him when he literally told everyone it was the plan?

Less so than nostr and twitter, though. I mean, everywhere on the internet is full of pedos… Even the fediverse.

Thats a pretty low bar lol

At least we agree, the working class, living in Taiwan, agree they are not China.

OneNote.

That’s really all. OneNote, on a windows tablet or foldable device with a proper stylus is the bee’s knees for knowledge management.

These aren’t printer drivers, but drivers for a Meson coax NIC that hasn’t been in business for a decade type of thing.

Really popular old drivers stay for a loong time, like the floppy driver that just got removed last year.

Nobody needing a modern kernel is using a floppy drive.

Plenty of us USians understand our system is in no way democratic…

I do. I get the “but they’re just gonna buy drugs!” thing, let’s be honest: I was gonna spend it on that, anyways.

If a 40 is what they need, right now, to numb the pain of existence, in this moment, why not?

So, the people of Taiwan, who largely support the current government there are all too stupid to not fall under the influence of the CIA?

Sounds racist af to me… those dumb Taiwanese are incapable of knowing what they want, without a daddy state telling them what is good for them.

Ok, colonizer.

Art is inherently political.

For example, do you think Gordon Freeman would be a Trump voter?

Or the entire Bioshock franchise? That entire story is a big political message.

The main characters “tag line” it says after a gib is “The cake WAS a lie!” and acts like Duke Nukem, but looks like Elong.
