96·4 天前It was added after Trump took office. There were articles about it. Apparently labeling doorways is helpful for dementia patients, and many people took this as a sign of dementia.

5·7 天前I remember going on road trips as a kid and the windshield and grill of the car would get hammered with bugs during the summer. Now it’s so rare to see a bug splat on the windshield that it’s conversation worthy when it happens.
Old but gold.

31·8 天前Your comment reads like this to me:

Are there still more than like 5 people trying to make Latinx a thing? I thought that one kind of died out early on, but I’m not a member of that community.

10·13 天前I see your point but I guess part of me really wants to see evidence that more of the maga cult has come to their senses. 84% still being willing to vote for him again damages my view of my fellow americans even more.

58·13 天前Another hopeful sounding headline telling us all what we want to hear.
Meanwhile in the text of the article:
When given a chance to recast their 2024 votes, in fact, just 84% of Trump voters said they would vote for him again
Just 84%?!

6·17 天前IIRC a big problem was that Andrew Johnson was softer on the former confederacy than Lincoln was. Unfortunately thanks to John Wilkes Booth, Johnson became president and he didn’t follow through with Lincoln’s plans or wishes for the former confederate states.
I don’t know what the point of separate partitions for OS and userspace is, but whatevs…
Some folks like to be able to reinstall the OS while preserving /home. That’s the only reason I’ve seen for doing separate partitions. (I’m not someone who does that, but it’s the explanation I’ve seen)
EndeavourOS plus Plasma 6.
I don’t think I’ll ever use a distro that isn’t arch based again, and you can have KDE plasma when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. :)

1·19 天前How could they have obtained this?










Fair point, but out of the box KDE has pretty sane defaults these days. It’s a very inoffensive desktop.
I have just a couple customizations that I do immediately on a fresh install, but it certainly wouldn’t kill me to use it as it comes.
