Yep that’s me!

I’d also add automatic configuration for multiple monitors, perhaps as much as 3 or as much as tmmy laptop’s GPU allows for.

I’ve been doing some research and it seems like arandr has the best GUI for doing this.

Thanks for pulling the receipts, I admit I was listening to a stream while this news broke

Rightwing?

Bro he was a centrist liberal, believing in things like Darwinism and class warfare.

He was likely triggered because of losing insurance around the age of 26 and the utter disaster it is to manage one’s own health insurance. Hence the lashing out at the health insurance industry

Burn the rich?

Boo lol

Might the West have had a hand in that instability? Why not mention the Ottoman Empire in this context? A recent period of general stability and peace in the region?

Or is this just copium?

Someone can be democratically elected, yet then act to undermine those same democratic processes that got them there.

Netanyahu continues his ruthless conquest against Palestinians and Lebanese despite how unpopular it is with Israelis. He knows that he won’t get re-elected, and when he doesn’t he’ll have to face the consequences of his actions in international court.

All you’re doing with your comment is aiding and abetting a fascist, apartheid, genocidal regime. Get real.

Cool, now do Gaza you pos

Negative señor. The most important issue for voters this past election was the economy. People don’t feel like anything has changed since 2020. So, if the current administration isn’t helping, maybe a different one will.

That sentiment is the reason why Kamala gained so much traction after Biden dropped out, and also the same reason why she lost that traction when she attached herself to Biden’s administration or policies rather than breaking away.

The Democrats have consistently failed to represent their base since Obama won in 2008. Hell, you could make the argument that they haven’t represented their base since before Clinton.

But sure let’s keep blaming the voters for rejecting a party that doesn’t represent them, and not holding the party accountable by continuing to vote them into power since our votes are a given as the Dems move right.

Your stance is basically to shut voters up and let them take it up the ass, whether they want that or not.

Oh I agree. Republicans are the originators of all this shit. They are the cause for so much ill effects.

But Democrats are supposed to be that counterbalance in a duopoly. They haven’t lived up to that. They’d rather chase after evil instead of standing up for something good.

I’m not sure what’s worse. To use a historical example: are the Nazis worse, or are those who didn’t speak up and fight back when they could have?

Right? Seems like even on Lemmy, a platform seen as progressive compared to the status quo, you’ll still find Liberals that would rather point blame at their fellow class rather than holding their elected officials and their donors accountable.

Left! Most Americans support progressive policies if they’re framed in a palatable way.

Exactly. Democrats failed to end the genocide in Gaza because they didn’t create a partisan line in the sand to separate the State’s current bipartisan stance towards Israel.

Most Americans support ending the way in Gaza. Kamala should have run with this right out of the gate, breaking away from Biden and cutting any strings she has with him. The reason why Americans and donors pressured Biden to drop out is the same reason why Kamala lost. Both represented more of the same, and that voters felt like the current administration wasn’t hearing their voices.

So out of spite or piss poor messaging on the Dems’ side, people chose Trump instead.

This is absolutely an issue with establishment Democrats. Don’t get discouraged from sharing this idea in a post not having to do with Bernie Sanders or AOC. It’s the truth.

Appreciate the tips! Yeah I think the forums will probably be my best bet since they’re focused on application -specific solutions.

I think I’ll grab an AMD CPU with Fedora/KDE Plasma and go from there.

Lol

Mostly web surf, listen to music, take notes, do file organization, etc. I have my Steam Deck for gaming, and I’d probably use web-based apps for the engineering work I do before loading anything onto my laptop

But I may also want to download things like FreeCAD and other tools in the future

I’ve heard Linux Mint is pretty straightforward. Might just go with it, at least at first. Thanks!

And yeah that’s what I would do anyways. Basically web surfing and whatnot
