I’m more into the FRC.

I see what you’re saying, but it sounds a little like “no true Scotsman”, too. I guess Occupy probably did this better, but I’m not sure it helped enough.

This is really part of it, but it’s not included explicitly in that article like it should be.

Other activists, faith-based leaders and consumers already are organizing boycotts to protest companies that have scaled back their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and to oppose President Donald Trump’s moves to abolish all federal DEI programs and policies.

Lots of naysayers trying to convince everyone not to participate, or to fragment efforts with competing ideas.

So much of our consumer culture is buying shit we don’t need like impulse buys and stupid movies and fast food. That’s profitable stuff, and skipping that for one day doesn’t mean you’ll just buy it the next day.

Maybe make a trivial amount of effort to find those details yourself.

It’s a response to the active class warfare happening, including the anti-DEI efforts.

Targeted boycotts aren’t enough anymore. Too many major corporations, often without adequate competition, are working against us.

Nope to what?

What could be more human than that?

KDE: With too much power comes too much responsibility. 😉

I really like the tiling window support in Pop_OS!'s Cosmos desktop.

It’s the same argument I’ve heard about the “complexity” of Mastodon: too many choices, which is I guess why people largely stopped going to websites outside the major social networks. Monopoly over competition, it’s like everyone is pining for a monarchy.

There’s a little historical baggage, but look at Windows: multiple letters for drives, and all of the paths can be modified, so you have to ask Windows where any important directory is physically mapped (like SystemRoot or Documents or Temp or Roaming AppData or many others), because it doesn’t have this nice consistent structure like Linux. Linux presents a logical layer and manages the physical location automatically. Windows makes you do the logical lookup yourself, but doesn’t enforce it, so inexperienced programmers make assumptions and put stuff where the path usually is.

That’s part of why logging in to Windows over a slow connection can take forever if you have a bunch of Electron apps installed: they’ve mismapped their temp/cache directory under the Roaming AppData, so it gets synched at every login, often GiB of data, and they refuse to fix it.

When did brute force switch from being an antipattern to the preferred pattern?

These are what I use to dim them without blocking them entirely: https://lightdims.com/
