  • I want to believe that things can be changed electorally, but I know that it wouldn’t come from anyone near power currently. Mamdani is the greatest hope right now, but he’s ultimately going to be in an ivory tower. He’s also been very clear that he’s being elected to run the ivory tower of America, so I’m not downplaying neither the significance or his awareness of the role.

    There’s no argument that Republicans have found a number of large exploits in the system that they are currently manipulating to “win” the US federal government. Whether or not such a system is theoretically capable of being repaired is up for debate, but it sure as hell isn’t going to happen at the hands of fucking Democrats.












  • I think that there are more than ample options for non technical people, like Mint. I also don’t think that those users are coming to Lemmy to stir shit, so it really doesn’t make sense to me who makes these posts.

    Like, are you unaware of the distribution model of FLOSS projects like Linux? Because of the lack of profit motive from selling licenses, development is funded and done by donation. Some is corporate sponsored, but not much.

    When people piss and moan about the state of things, it just makes them look really foolish, because they don’t know what has gone into getting it this far.

    If you don’t like the tool sets available, feel free to roll your sleeves up and organize a design team to change that.
