Because under the hood x11 code is such a hacky mess the developers found it easier to start from scratch than add new features like HDR and VRR to x11.

If new features don’t matter to you, there’s still plenty of distros and DE’s and WM’s that ship x11 and will continue for a very long time.

We also export a hell of a lot of soybeans, so when retaliatory tariffs kick in I guess our new ultra-masculine conservative government is going to have us all eating lots and lots of soy.

Which part of that is relevant to the conversation so far?

To make one criticism of one event isn’t to say that “China bad”. That’s really black and white thinking, and comes off incredibly insecure.

Not dodging any cult accusations when you would rather take the conversation in a dozen different directions than just admit, “yeah, killing a couple hundred civilians is a massacre”.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of real videos exist, in which case it would be really easy to condemn them as gross evil western propaganda. It’s easy to condemn Zionist propoganda as gross and evil.

You know, because I’m not in a weird cult that makes me defend mass murder of civilians.

Criticizing the connection to Cheney is just fine, I’m talking about propaganda around how the “liberal media” is overreacting to Project 2025.

And look where we are now: Project 2025.

And it’s not even just about elections or results: there’s no excuse for a very influential white leftist to leverage their power to harass and put down BIPOC creators. There’s no excuse to defend this behavior.

Yes the US has committed numerous atrocious, massacres, and genocides.

You know what I wouldn’t do? Make a YouTube video playing defense for the US government saying that any of those aren’t exactly what they are.

The same but not treated the same, America has some pretty brutal privilege hierarchies which makes life more difficult for minority groups, disabled people, and anyone who isn’t a cishet white Christian male.

Which makes it inexcusable for a white leftist with capitol and influence to run harassment campaign against BIPOC creators.

You know those white leftists own a lot more capitol than those BIPOC creators right?

Have you heard of the powerball lottery being referred to as a “stupid tax”? People play the Powerball for hopes and feelings and vibes, usually not understanding how infinitesimally small their odds are. They’re not going to win, they’re just throwing money away to feel better.

You still have better odds of winning the Powerball than Claudia had of winning the general election. It’s gonna come out sounding harsh but that’s the reality of it.

Because he’s an accelerationist who believes that things getting much worse is a way to spark the revolution and overthrow of American Capital.

I know for sure some people who didn’t vote because of white “leftist” content creators who were working hard all 2024 to smear Kamala and BIPOC liberal content creators. There’s not enough data to measure the damage they did, I don’t see any reason they should be let off the hook either.

His proof that there wasn’t a massacre is that the death toll reported by the mayor is only on the same order of magnitude as the Tulsa Race Massacre?

For someone so adamant on criticizing propaganda the call is really coming from inside the house.

You’re the random dude on lemmy who claims to “know people” vs the random dude on lemmy who cites his sources.

Israel and Netanyahu preferred Trump by a wide margin over Kalama, so unless you’re a Zionist I wouldn’t recommend celebrating yet.

The fascists have done an incredible job lulling people into a false sense of security with “Trump just says outrageous things to trigger the libs he’ll never actually do anything”.

Dictators love the poorly educated.

Fuzzy memories after 4 years of anti-Democrat propoganda, remember overwhelmingly Americans use social media that backs Trump (X, Meta, TikTok), to the point that even US “leftists” were all in anti-“blue MAGA”.

It’s classic manufactured consent. That’s why FAFO was trending after election. Americans don’t know what they voted for. They are about to find out - the hard way.

I would argue that the supermajority weren’t fine with this result, these real life consequences, but were under a collective cope/delusion that “Killer Kamala” was a “weak woman” but also a warhawk who just wanted to genocide lots of people in Gaza and prolong the war in Ukraine, and Trump was going to bring peace and prosperity and lower the cost of living.

Americans are mostly stupid, poorly educated, gullible, and easily deceived by low effort promises.

It will crumble, the question is will it crumble fast enough before its oil and gas fetish accelerates climate change too far.

Diaspora is the fediverse version of Facebook. It hasn’t taken off quite like lemmy or mastodon and it’s much older, but still seems to be in active development.

Convincing family is hard, I have a lot of them moved over to Linux already, but they don’t want to quit Facebook :(
