Ok, that makes sense.

I still don’t see why they (Mozilla) felt the feature was needed, since if you’re installing an addon to manage tabs, that’s all on you, the user.

Why do we want to be able to hide tabs in the first place?

It sadly doesn’t quite work right on KDE. You can get close: you can show an application launcher, or a exposé-like window overview, or a pager, but you can’t show all of them at once in a way that’s easy to work with between like Gnome does.

Heck, even Gnome regressed Gnome 40, as you don’t get the vertical desktop overview any more. At least there’s shell extensions that let me get Gnome 3’s behaviour back.

It’s a real pity, because I like KDE, and definitely the KDE apps, more, but the Super-key overview is no hard to quit.

Aren’t these things trackable? Don’t phones have an IMEI and can’t they be remote-bricked if stolen?

I mean, police don’t care, but Apple could render these useless if they wanted to.

The only reason I don’t use KDE is because it doesn’t do the super-key expose/dash/overview like Gnome.

If you thought Viagra and Ozempic had a market, just wait…

This will be huge amongst the wealthy.

What it it with right wingers and stupid hair?

Anyone have that gif of Rupert Murdoch with a plate of cookies?

Found it…

No, it’s much more mundane; Netanyahu just wants to stay out of prison.

If someone could port AUX’s UI, that would be perfect.

And as a fellow System 6/7 fan, it’s love, not masochistim. Long live the spatial Finder!

Regime change coming up for the sake of “freedom”.

Well, ackshually, Linux is just a kernel… /s

Hello there, fellow Ontarian!

In seriousness, Ford is a great example of my point because he talks to how people feel. It doesn’t matter that it’s bullshit at best or whitewashing of his latest grift at worst, he’s at least acknowledging enough voters’ concerns and fears, and while tossing a bauble here or there (eg, booze in corner stores, buck a beer) to look like he’s doing something for the common person.

His opposition doesn’t do this. Stiles gets ignored, and Crombie just seems like a weak Ford impersonator.

The polticial left needs to do better. Yes that would probably mean getting called socialist, but since that’ll happen anyway they may as well own it.

Maybe, just maybe, liberal democracies need to do a better job solving problems for constituents and less time fellating billionaires.

That might help.

I mean, when I see a right-wing populist telling me they can fix all my problems, I know they’re a lying, opportunistic piece of shit, but I can also see the appeal because at least they’re saying that there’s problems and that they’ll do something, which is more than milquetoast centrists will do.

You know what? A young Fassbender would have been a great Feyd-Rautha.

I mean, McAvoy was the God Emperor…

Oh, Canada!

Ah, the Oracle clause.

Way to go, Bibi. Putting all of Israel and every member of the Jewish diaspora at risk just to save your corrupt political skin.

Oh, and killing tens of thousands of innocent people.

Again, it’s “Don’t quote the troll”. Some of us learned this in Usenet in the 1990s.

Saying “This is bullshit” or “You’re weird” without engaging with their ideas stops the contagion from spreading.

It is, though. Studies in disinformation have proven this. This is why right-wing bullshitters are so eager to engage in debate: just getting the chance to show up and be refuted in a legitmate setting, like a major newspaper, gives them an audience for the ideas and credibility, that their position is one worthy of refute.

This is how we got the alt-right in 2015: by taking neo-Nazis seriously.

This is what the media doesn’t understand, and why fact-checkers are getting–correctly–rolled on social media. Every time you bring up one of these lies, even to fact check it–especially to fact-check it–you give it credibility.

This is why the Harris/Walz campaign’s tactic of ridicule is working so well. Instead of saying “No, you’re wrong about XXX because YYYY and ZZZZ”, they’re saying “What is wrong with you? You’re weird.” The latter doesn’t give the lie any oxygen.
