I hate, hate, HATE GTK.
Sorry, it’s visceral, can’t stand using GTK apps, but really hate the framework, it is just so badly hacked together, and QT spoiled me forever.
Need to build one again, this time with a python wrapper, wrote one for VLC and it’s spoiled me too.
Used to work on WebKit, built my own browser for a while, but damn if they kept breaking qt/WebKit all the damn time.
So, I love Debian, and it’s an excellent distro.
But personally something like suse makes more sense, it’s more user friendly and is so German it’s painful.
Fox News coverage of the event:
Not unless it was weird or something.
Violent offense?
Probably not, unless I thought he might hurt another person who was innocent. Then I’d have to think about it.
Maybe an exception for like a mass shooting, I think I might turn them in for everyone’s safety, because if the cops found them on their own things might get bad. Hard part is working out how to do it safely.
If it was a one -off and the victim deserved it? I have no idea what you’re talking about.
I’ll be at the Winchester, having a nice cold pint and waiting for this all to blow over.
Oh no, many will take the job.
None will do any work, but they’ll all take the job.
They’re not citizens, so most people don’t want to stand up for them, and many people want to watch them suffer and laugh.

I have to fact check this, it’s a clear lie.
In the wake of the 1948 Palestine war, the Israeli government conferred Israeli citizenship upon all Palestinians who had remained or were not expelled. However, they were subject to discrimination by being placed under martial law until 1966, while other Israeli citizens were not. In the early 1980s, Israel granted citizenship eligibility to the Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the Syrian citizens of the Golan Heights by annexing both areas, though they remain internationally recognized as part of the Israeli-occupied territories, which came into being after the Six-Day War of 1967. Acquisition of Israeli citizenship in East Jerusalem has been scarce, as only 5% of Palestinians in East Jerusalem were Israeli citizens in 2022, largely due to Palestinian society’s disapproval of naturalization as complicity with the occupation. After the Second Intifada, the opposition loosened, but Israel made the process more difficult, approving only 34% of new Palestinian applications.[citation needed]
According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics, the Israeli Arab population stood at 2.1 million people in 2023, accounting for 21% of Israel’s total population. The majority of these Arab citizens identify themselves as Arab or Palestinian by nationality and as Israeli by citizenship. They mostly live in Arab-majority towns and cities, some of which are among the poorest in the country, and generally attend schools that are separated to some degree from those attended by Jewish Israelis. Arab political parties traditionally did not join governing coalitions until 2021, when the United Arab List became the first to do so. The Druze and the Bedouin in the Negev and the Galilee have historically expressed the strongest non-Jewish affinity to Israel and are more likely to identify as Israelis than other Arab citizens.
There are a lot of parallels to apartheid, but it’s somewhere between.
I think a closer parallel could be Ireland under Cromwell, which is still not a good model.
Emphasis on ‘had’.
No - stop - reality does matter and you shouldn’t encourage people who spread misinformation even if they agree with you.
Thank you!
Fine.
One fought for slavery, one didn’t.
One had Jim crow, one didn’t.
One was called a model for Germany to follow and was where the Nuremberg Laws were copied from and one wasn’t.
One is absolutely and irredeemably evil, and one isn’t.
Easy comparison.
No, they don’t.
They want to keep things as they are, and I think they should be allowed to within some restricted parameters.
If they were racist it would be one thing, but they generally aren’t, not are they significantly homophobic, they just want everyone to stfu and sit the fuck down.
The south, BTW, is INSANELY homophobic, still. Homosexuality is still a sin against God and while the risk of violence has decreased (in the 90s gay people were considered outside of the protection of the law, so if you beat one up, wellx shit happens, now you just tell the same jokes).
Never compare the Midwest and the south. One is just a bunch of people trying to be left alone and get by.
The other are literally the ones who Hitler cited in main kampf as the model Germany must follow, and where the Nuremberg Laws came from.
They’re genuine monsters ,the kind of people Americans used to claim to fight, and they will drag us back to their level because they’re cheap, stupid votes.
When they start the next civil war (and they will, it’s in their nature, you keep taking until you’re stopped, that’s the definition of strength), then we can finally fix this centuries long open wound that has been a cancer on this country.
Edit: forgot their rampant misogyny.
Midwest is ABSOLUTELY not about hate.
They just want to be left the fuck alone.
Southwest wants them gone.
The south wants Jim crow back, where they can beat, torture and kill brown people with impunity.
Not that they can’t do that now, law enforcement sure won’t look closely.
From Berlin to Warsaw in one tank.
I lived in the Midwest too.
The Midwest voted to be left alone, especially for culture war issues.
The southwest voted to get rid of mexicans.
The Mid-Atlantic voted for culture war issues mostly.
The south voted to hurt people, just like they have in literally every election for 200 years. This is literally the region that fought a war for slavery, lost, and kept it anyway under a different name for 100 years, there ain’t no shame in their game.
Look at the margins, the south voted trump by a crazy landslide.
The small town in the Midwest I lived in was beautiful in the 1980s, then in the 90s nafta kicked in and we were infested by southerners moving north for jobs, bringing their drugs and crime with them.
They’re a plague, and they’re spreading.
I want får more revenge than you can possibly imagine.
But the problem isn’t David Brooks, it’s the infinitely racist south who love fascists as long as it means they can brutalize anyone brown or otherwise different without consequence.
Before the party switch the Republicans were just greedy, now their greed pales in comparison to their lust for cruelty. That’s the southern way.
Sherman needed to keep going, for another decade or two.
That translates to ‘sic semper tyrannus’
The quote attributed to Brutus when stabbing Caesar, and what John Wilkes booth said after shooting Lincoln.
They had 2 revolutioary wars.
Both were because they were part of a country that wasn’t pro-slavery enough.
It has some wobbly bits, but it really exposes the most powerful parts of linux.
And it’s still somehow more user friendly than basically anything else in linux. Or windows for that matter.
