oh you’re right, it’s gone now. i didn’t even notice

tbh i only remember it working for non-Plasma apps, weirdly enough. stuff like Dolphin or Konsole wouldn’t work with it, but non-Plasma apps (that got decorated with the Plasma titlebar) would support it. maybe that’s why they removed it?

whites will literally put racialized people’s suffering over their own wellbeing

white privilege is a hell of a drug

do you ever stop to think about it sometimes?

how worked up you are because people use an operating system you don’t like. imagine doing that with other things.

“ugh this shirt is kinda itchy” “well that’s your own damn fault for using this bad shirt!!! next time switch to a better shirt you useless fuck!”

anyone who needs microsoft office. or the adobe suite. or visual studio. or autoCAD. or…

there’s a lot of professional creation software that’s not on linux. and yes, we have alternatives, and they’re cool, but they don’t work for everyone.

ok so a couple things for the people in this thread:

1. sometimes, when people complain, they don’t want advice. they just want to vent their frustration. that’s ok. your advice is just gonna come off as annoying, especially
2. if they’ve heard it a billion times already. and trust me, if you’re on the fediverse and complain about windows or macos, you’ve heard “just use linux lol” before.
3. holy shit stop doing victim blaming. this goes for everything btw. like. stop. “lol your fault for using windows” shut up. if you’re already doing victim blaming for trivial stuff, i don’t trust you for when much more serious problems arise.

that’s very cool and good job to anyone who managed this, but they’re all either 10 years old, have a bunch of broken essential features, or both… not exactly an iOS replacement

replying with “use Linux” to complaints about iOS is especially funny to me

me omw to install Linux on my iphone

i just wish OSM was more complete… it’s fine for big cities, but when you live in small rural areas it’s practically useless. my village only has its roads mapped, nothing else.

(and yes i know you can edit the map. and that it’s the entire point of OSM. i know that. but it takes a ton of effort, and it’s an ongoing effort because cities change!)

OSM contributors, you are amazing and cherished and your work does not go unappreciated. i just wish there was more of us…

you can, and you should

english has no authority that regulates the language, it’s up to us to do the spelling reforms

he’s openly a white supremacist

the simple answer is they don’t want us to exist in public

we also can’t ignore that it’s being used as a pejorative by (some) liberals to mean anyone to the left of joe biden

putin to-do list:

turning a ginger character black

iirc, a lot of the times in old media creators would use red-haired people as stand-in for minorities, basically if they wanted to make a character BIPOC, but the studio wouldn’t let them, they’d make them red-haired instead

got this from hearsay so take it with a grain of salt. but if it’s true, it’s nice that the original visions can be fulfilled now!

(and even if it’s not true, more BIPOC in movies is never a bad thing, even if it comes at the cost of red-haired characters, which whatever it’s not like we’re systematically oppressed)

edit: also I’ll note that Ariel is still red-haired in the remake

who gives a piss, like genuinely

beyond her name, is there any reason why snow white should be white?

and, like, even then. “brown skinned”. Zegler is super pale, you’re just mad she’s not a WASP

anyways fuuuuuck disney for a bunch of reasons, but “casting POC for traditionally white roles” is not one of them.

putin?

that’s not the flag of the russian federation either!

IIRC the USSR did try to join NATO in its beginnings, not super hard since they knew very well that they’d be turned away

interesting, this company is based in quebec; I wonder if they operated the mine in the infamous town (formerly) called Asbestos
