After a year of absence, I'll give this instance another shot, things have gone better than I expected.

  • Most Americans see Trump as "dangerous dictator," poll says

  • It's a ton of the media really, not 'just enough' afaict. So much reporting from all the US mainstream media treats everything he says with kid gloves. If he invaded canada tomorrow the headline on CNN would be something like "US military deployed in proactive peacekeeping mission to the north".

  • You know what? Us Canadians are going to drive that orange chump into the dirt.

  • I'd love to see it happen, I will support it in any way I can.

    Until such time as it does happen, as long as they continue milling about uselessly expecting maga to start following the laws any minute now and doing nothing else significant to obstruct it... Fuck em, they're paying the taxes and powering the machine that is trying to destroy us.

  • Time to double down on the metric system

  • Oh please let's

  • Time to double down on the metric system

  • I mean, I can without hesitating. We all should be able to.

  • Time to double down on the metric system

  • The states has this funny thing where when they do use metric, like in medicine, they often still use weird-ass nonstandard metric options, like decilitres. I imagine if they eventually switch their unit of weight is going to be something like "well, one fornoy is exactly how much a litre of crude oil weighs"

  • Capitalism makes oligarchies inevitable

  • It's honestly an impressive feat of propaganda and social engineering that anyone could ever imagine otherwise.

  • Americans under 30 are so miserable that the U.S. just fell to a historically low ranking in the world happiness report

  • Comrade, the present situation ain't bringing us closer to socialism.

  • Trump lies and now has egg on his face

  • Mostly they see the egg as a sign of strength: he fucks up and faces no consequences. They're fuck ups, so they really like that.

  • Jerkoff

  • I'm not very familiar with Portuguese history but my understanding is that authoritarianism in Portugal was ended by the carnation revolution, which was a military coup. I'm curious what this person means as well. You can't vote out authoritarianism, at best you get a dictator kind enough to decide to step down when asked.

  • U.S. authorities closing Canadian access to historic library that straddles Quebec-Vermont border

  • Also, at no point did anyone try to stop said asshat. That's the bit that gets me with these, every time. The country is full of cowards and bullies.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Its like a pancake soufflé. I once saw a tiny woman eat an entire dinner plate sized cube of one. It was fascinating. (I think it was mostly air)

  • So jussi

  • I know enough Finnish people to know you're just pulling our legs and it really means exactly what we think.

  • Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?

  • These days i get quite a lot of US news off Lemmy, and aside from Tesla torchings (great start) I mostly just hear about people going to rallies. Are there actually americans out there obstructing something? If so, why aren't they sharing their own news for solidarity and motivation of masses? How is capitalist media causing fediverse content to be censored?

  • The list of reasons

  • Not an option in my line of work unfortunately

  • The list of reasons

  • Yup. Trying to get various work critical specific pieces of software working on Linux is just not a reasonable concept. Dual boot is the only option.

  • GIMP 3.0 Released

  • I mean, I could make a list of things I think are problems, but I've been using it since a bit after 9/11 so I dont think my guesses would represent new user experiences. I am mostly going off what people tell me when they try to learn it.

    otherwise it's hard to respond to such a vague statement

    I wasn't writing advice for the devs, I was making a general statement about why foss stuff doesn't tend to suit glitzy, highly marketable front facing stuff, using gimp as an example

  • 10 years

  • I really hoped we millennials would remember getting shit on constantly and maybe not do it.

  • GIMP 3.0 Released

  • Unless 3.0 has solved it, the gimp has a steep UI problem and a learning curve such that mass appeal on the website would be inappropriate anyway. I love it but I love it because I've been using it my whole life and know it very well. Foss in general struggles with useability due to a lot of hard to overcome problems - mainly, that by the time someone is ready to contribute to any given foss project, they're already intimately familiar with its foibles and probably have strong opinions about what UX elements are sacred cows and should not be fixed.

  • GIMP 3.0 Released

  • As a long time - pre version 2 - gimp user my first thought was "what, don't be ridiculous" and now I dont know what to feel. Why would you do this to me personally
