Liberals will claim that they are furious at what's going on and then proceed to vote for another capitalist who perpetuates what's going on, all while refusing to listen to Socialists. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Leftists, of course. Liberals will continue to be in denial for the foreseeable future. Conservatives just dgaf.

wdym? Every single week there's protests. Are you part of an org? If you're part of an org maybe you'll hear about them more?

I think people are having a "Napster moment" with AI, watching it disrupt the status quo and being afraid of it. I think there's way too many anti-technology hot takes.

However, AI is absolutely a threat to and a weapon against the working class (or will be very soon). The capitalist class is just salivating to use this tool to further exploit people.

Yea that's not what DEI is. Look up affinity bias and why we need things like DEI.

Once proton integrates an office suite I'll be all set. (It's in the road map. When? Who knows?)

These are not normal times. The capitalist, oligarchic system has failed to protect our planet or our freedoms. As more and more of our leaders turn collaborator, all of us must come together to fight fascism. Join us as we stand in solidarity with immigrants, for LGBTQ rights, for a free Palestine, and most of all in opposition to the "Elonreich." A better world is possible!โœŠ

You're going to distro hop (we all do) so just start somewhere. It's debian based, so what you learn will be applicable to like 80% of the distros out there.

I like gnome. Plasma is nice too. Lately I've just been using minimal i3 window manager.

Good luck!

I don't think Dems are even capable of doing anything. They serve the same Capitalist interests that the Republicans do, so this isn't surprising. The system is working as intended. People are slowly starting to realize this.

That said, anything is more than nothing, which is what they're currently doing. At minimum they should do what the Republicans do whenever Dems have power: block, harass, impede, shutdown, filibuster... The problem is that there's always a cohort of Dems that vote against party lines (again, working as intended).
