  • I’ve been in Signal chats with Tulsi Gabbard’s staff.

    And no ofc it’s not that impressive. They used the app during the Dem Primary campaign trail so all the campaign volunteers used it to coordinate.

    Back then I thought she would be a charismatic Dem that could win against Trump – when none of the Dems (esp. not Biden IMO) seemed to have a chance.

    Back then she was inclusive with her political rhetoric. She was the only candidate on either side whose primary message was:

    Respect the other side as people, and try to understand their point of view

    OMFG I wish I’d hear that from politicians more often. Or ever.

    Please forgive me. I was like 9 years younger back then and Tulsi hadn’t gone MAGA.










  • “Atheists” who make themselves, or the State, a swap-in replacement for God(s) are not much different from purely religious authorities who abuse their positions. It is apparently a common kind of power-seeking Dark Trait.

    The Leviathan theory of the state – the Motherland who is greater than us, who we would die for as cells die to preserve the body, and whose Exegeses come from the Great Leader/Supreme Council/President for Life.

    It’s exactly the same play on faith and credulity and servility that religions use.






  • $ gsettings get org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions 
    ['apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'window-list@gnome-shell-extensions.gcampax.github.com', 'gtktitlebar@velitasali.github.io']
    

    I can’t believe apps-menu and window-list are not the default behaviors. gtktitlebar is just so I can claw back a few precious pixels of vertical screen space.
