I use the NeXTStep-style launcher in KDE, which is ironically objectively superior to Apple's dock, and is actually what they had before they fucked it up to make eye candy for idiots

If you use complex applications you already have most of a DE installed on your system. If you don't use a file manager but do use a session manager then you've still got most of a DE running in your session. All you're accomplishing is using a less featured launcher, which is fine but really not a big difference.

You can run Cinnamon if you miss GNOME 2, but when I tried it, it just felt old :)

Yes, every news outlet. All of them. Some were nicer about it than others but all were asking questions about his ability. IDGAF about entertainment programs like The View though, if you have to bring that up to try to support the point then you've already failed. It's not a news program.

That's profoundly selfish. Shock amazement

Nothing in Israel is viable without American money, so no.

Man fuck history, this is now! I don't give two fucks what Russian peasants did in 1432, I care about what is possible today. And today something better is possible if we stop letting the billionaires convince us all that our neighbor who's just as fucked as we are is stealing all the money!

KDE is pretty good. There's nothing really worth complaining about in the design and most of the major long running bugs have been stomped. If I did have a design complaint it would be related to the settings app, but even it is pretty ok.

GNOME 2 was definitely better than the KDE of its day.

GNOME 3 OTOH...

Would there? How many people even know about e.g. Five Eyes? There already is mass coordinated international surveillance and... crickets.

More evidence has been presented publicly that Trump fucked kids than was necessary to convict Cosby or Weinstein. There are more accusers, too. You are willfully and deliberately working to attempt to conceal this fact. You are working to protect child rape. Someone should check your hard disk.

We will let the government give them something "useful" to do once the pedos get us into a war.

Exactly, a few questions or a short exercise to ensure that you have the basic skills required to do the job is one thing, this was masquerading as something else, specifically something no serious employer would do except to make people go away

People spend all kinds of money on all kinds of stupid unproductive shit so that's obviously wrong.

The fear really isn't rogue bots, is it? It's fear that their security is shitty. Which in turn is fear their bots are shitty, because they're using the bots to tell them how to do the security, right?
