Krohnkite? It unfortunately doesn’t have anywhere near the polish and ease of use as the PopOS implementation, for example its easy toggling between tiling and stacking. Nobody comes close to the way PopOS has done it.

Awesome, congrats to the team. I don’t use it anymore but I’ll always have a soft spot for PopOS as being the distro that finally made me a Linux fulltimer. I really wish KDE would implement their tiling system.

Ah yes, one of the nutjobs who was too much of a nutjob for even the BC Conservatives so they formed their own Maple MAGA party.

Look, Hillary - you’re never going to make me like TikTok, even with glowing endorsements like this!

Default subs were already heavily astroturfed garbage. Smaller subs still generally fly under the radar, for now at least.

LGBT = Let’s Game Blox Together

Their Rye is actually pretty decent, at least when I had it a few years ago.

Canentry > Brexit

It’s worth it for the Elon burn alone.

Yeah, Ukraine was part of Russia for like 200 years, and had the same culture of embezzlement and graft. It takes a long time to unlearn that, but they’ve been working hard at it (as evidenced by this anti-corruption agency)

I like that phrasing.

Still unsurprising that the police want to investigate when a direct family member of a guy who is known to steal copper for profit miraculously finds a huge hunk of copper and wants to turn it in for profit.

Lmao well her son is a convicted copper thief, so this is understandable. What are the odds?

That’s true, but to reuse my comparison to Romans, we call Augustus “emperor” too despite the term “imperator” being co-opted from an earlier, different meaning. I can see both points of view here, I just don’t feel strongly enough to see it as a red flag. God knows there are lots of other, actual red flags.

I know, but convention is to use a person’s final and highest title. Nobody refers to Julius Caesar as “quaestor”.

I don’t think the Merkel comparison is accurate - no one called her Leader, we called her the Chancellor (Kanzler), because that’s the job title. “Chancellor” is a pretty specific word in English with a narrower meaning and clearer connotation than “leader”, which can be used in a huge variety of contexts. The problem is that English doesn’t have a 1:1 translation of Fuehrer as we do with Kanzler, and “leader” is too generic versus Chancellor, Prime Minister, President, etc. Maybe “Supreme Leader” would work, but I haven’t seen that used often enough for it to stick.

We also use “Dalai Lama”, for example. Changing it to “leader” would lose a lot in translation. There’s a very long list of more problematic things with Musk and this ego project than this particular wording choice.

All governments are murderes and rapists, so unless you’re advocating for worldwide anarchy this is just whataboutism.

You’re broadly correct, with the important caveat that when the KMT fled to Taiwan, they didn’t relinquish their claim on the mainland. The KMT said “we’re the real government, the CCP is a usurper” and the CCP said “we won the war on the mainland, therefore Taiwan automatically belongs to us because… reasons”

This is futher complicated by the fact that when Japan relinquished Taiwan after WWII it was technically ceded to the RoC.

In any case, the government of Taiwan is technically the oldest of the two extant “Chinese” governments, so it makes no sense for the CCP to say that Taiwan needs to rejoin it.
