None of the senior Walton's have endorsed Trump, and the family has quite famously given money to both sides. I haven't found any Waltons condemning Christy over this, though maybe they wouldn't publicize it. I don't think it's a huge break from the family.

That's somewhat true, but also the vast majority of financing for Indivisible, who organized these protests, came from billionaires foundations. These protests would never have happened without them.

Indivisible "reports 73 percent of its funding came in the form of “major gifts” or from foundations. Additionally, it reports that one of its donors consisted of 23 percent of its funding", from https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/the-indivisible-project-indivisible

Besides all that, if a billionaire is backing it, it's sort of a sign that it's quite a centrist movement.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

tbh we probably should de-federate, but I'm feeling a little contrarian.

Tbh I don't think having a bunch of people is enough to do anything. Blowing a hole in the wall of the detention center to let people go free might be the closest to a quick practical solution, but it's not really quick or practical.

Learning how to use documentation should be the first thing you do when you try the Linux terminal. man vim, Vim page on the archwiki, etc.

I mean, just type :help and then use your arrow keys to scroll around and read how to use vim/neovim.

aldanmarki still suspended :(

didn't he have a website he posted on? I can't seem to find it, all I see is a basically empty substack. Instagram seems empty too.

At least I've got a few of his videos downloaded, but I miss the cool Yemen updates and the new videos.

What if we are a twin or triplet?

Like, writing 5 full length replies about oppression in response to a guy's 5 word tweet (correctly) correcting a word. Or talking about how misgendering is more important than Gaza.

The worst thing though was when a bunch of "communists" replied to a right-wingers tweet about the USSR with agreement.

I can get Slammer's memes from the blog, so the only account I was mildly interested in is aldanmarki, who is suspended. Trying to look beyond that was a mistake.

 
 
 

alt textGuy labeled "languages where everything is gendered" hovers menacingly, while a different guy labeled "non-binary people" runs away

 
 
 
 

I'm not entirely sure it's appropriate, but I found it funny

 

Yeah, I know they are ancient roman symbols that have been and are used in contexts unrelated to Fascism. More of an example of Fascists being unoriginal. Whatever.

 

I've had an amazing time with it so far. It's so easy to package for (I haven't contributed a package upstream, but I'm working on it). There's like two places you put your configs (/etc/config.scm and .config/guix) and it all just works. Like, I'm not even an emacs user, I don't really use Lisp much, but it's just such a pleasure to work with. I haven't really had any issues with firmware or anything proprietary (old thinkpads ftw), but nonguix and flatpak exist to fix that.

Really the only issue I have is that some software is behind by a version or two, and some things I use haven't been put in the channel yet (but it seems everything I use regularly is either a patch being worked on or already working).

It took a little bit for it all to click, but after finding the cookbook and looking through others configs, it made a lot of sense.

All that said, I'm a bit too committed to Arch to switch my main machine. Hopefully soon though.
