The Chan-Zuckerbergs stopped funding social causes. 400 kids lost their school. Priscilla Chan’s decision to stop funding the school she opened to help struggling families shows the risks for communities reliant on wealthy private donors.

Using money for charity is great, but having the government tax and manage it all instead is much, much better. Because it won’t suddenly disappear. Unless your ruler’s name is Donal Trump.

naw

that’s just adding images in the post body instead of as an attachment to the post itself. though yeah that’d be the preferred way to do it

How would you get some equivalent of reconstruction (the term as in US history) in order? Even with 10 years of radical reconstruction and sending the big-ass federal army into states to tightly enforce the rights of black people, they still got Jim Crow’d over with all kinds of abuse. Even with the 60s Civil Rights acts they’re still substantially disadvantaged and discriminated against today. This’d be even worse in Palestine’s rubble. Wealth is power, and if you just simply have a one-state solution, the rich will quickly eat the poor. On what basis can you make a reconstruction, since Israel has already resisted global “resolutions” (security council or not) time after time, and Palestine doesn’t seem to have a chance at scoring the victory the Union based its reconstruction authority on?

nobody can’t just say “but the developers are working really hard”, or “a bunch of people actually use it” and make it all suddenly go away

That’s not what anyone’s saying either. AHemlocksLie said the article—instead of saying “we know better what the users want”—expresses frustration at caring and working a ton at (blind) accessibility only for people to say GNOME devs don’t care about (blind) accessibility; nowhere did they say that makes GNOME accessibility good. In the context of us understanding what AHemlocksLie said, I think it’s not aberating that we interpreted your reply the way we did.

squaresinger said what you think you said in their last reply. Look at the positive response to them.

You’re not criticizing. You’re saying “no matter how much people try to improve this, this will always be objectively worthless, because this is objectively worthless”. Nobody said you’re not allowed to criticize GNOME. Criticism includes specific directions to improve on and does not involve neglecting the size of the userbase to claim your personal preferences extend to objective truth.

great writing! Your Trump impression is missing a random tangent.

Arch is simple famously because it’s the “know your system” distro.

Also, I’m fairly sure the novice user would have a secondary or mobile device.

Do you have to dunk on something just because it’s decidedly not for you? There are, in fact, many avid GNOME users who’ve tried Plasma or other DEs, including Linus Torvalds.

Even external and blind reviewers like Fireborn said GNOME was the only working option on Wayland.

Not just the installer but setting up stuff for a11y in general.

unfortunately yes. only arrests “in the comfort of” private property require a judicial warrant, while property owned by states (incl. streets and courthouses) are considered public property

ah thanks

that is so stupid just use a dash

i didn’t understand what “the organization” meant either

i still don’t understand, it means the team decided to ban the ICE agents?

wtf is that colon mean; the agents commented “team”?

Sorry that I couldn’t see where you included that. Could you do me a favor and quote what components exactly need to have work done for a solid base? (brownie points if they refer to postmarketOS’s Plasma Mobile as a starting point) Note that I’m already aware of the driver layer issues. I’m really curious about this solid base you mention.

Okay, what more needs to be in postmarketOS Plasma in order so that it has a “solid base”?

Do you think Android is “just” Linux?

No? It’s not even much Linux besides the kernel. By my second sentence I meant “Isn’t [Plasma Mobile’s solid] base just GNU/Linux?”
