I really hope so, KDE isn’t perfect, but gnome is just so…weird…

My school requires 2in1 laptops with stylus support (and windows😖) for all engineering students. I picked up a lenovo think book 2in1 to meet the requirements and have been dualbooting manjaro on a seperate ssd as it has 2 m2 ports. I use manjaro because im used arch which I run on my gaming PC. My work laptop has had manjaro using kde plasma for a while now and I generally really like it.

When I loaded up the lenovo with manjaro/KDE it worked great as a standard laptop but whenever I tried to use the stylus or touch screen things started falling apart. Tracking was OK with the stylus but I couldn’t get pressure or tilt sensing to work and the on screen keyboard was pretty terrible. I also couldn’t get it to work properly with a few programs I need specifically for school. I spent about a week trying to get it all sorted but I was never able to get a configuration that worked consitintly and smoothly. After a fair bit of forum surfing the consensus I was able to glean was that KDE was behind the curve on touch/stylus support but gnome was supposedly better suited to it.

I’ve now been running GNOME for a couple weeks and the touch/stylus support does work much better but there are still a few hiccups. I had to install a different on screen keyboard, the one gnome comes with worked fine except for the backspace key refused to function which turns out to be a pretty big problem. My biggest complaints though are with how gnome functions in comparison to kde. The file explorer, console, text editors, menu customizations, and layouts are a lot more frustrating and clunky feeling to me. I’ve swapped most of the original stuff with KDE version wherever I could make them work. Overall its not too bad now, just different I guess. Personally I wont be using GNOME in the future if I can avoid it. Hopefully KDE comes up with functional touch/stylus support so I can switch back.

I’ve been forced to use gnome on my school laptop as I need tablet support and kde dropped the ball on that front. I hate it so much, but at least it works.

Benn Jordan’s videos on flock cameras is really eye opening non how bad the surveillance state has gotten here in the US. Not just how ubiquitous they are but also how insecure and vulnerable to abuse the whole system is.

But you must never drink any more than slightly less than two drinks. Beyond that state of mildly intoxicated perfection lies drunken madness, 3rd pints, kebabs, and destruction.

I agree, I think its a good thing that he’s a democratic socialist, as I am also one. But there is a difference between a dem socialist and a social democrat. Mainly the whole capitalism thing.

Yes, it is right.

Social democracy is a broad, centre-left[1] to left-wing[2] social, economic, and political ideology within the wider socialist movement[3] that supports political and economic democracy[4] and a gradualist, reformist, and democratic approach toward achieving social equality. In modern practice, social democracy has taken the form of a predominantly capitalist,[5] yet robust welfare state, with policies promoting social justice, market regulation, and a more equitable distribution of income.[5][6]

He’s a democratic socialist.

Use the moment to ask for more donations so they can use the money to do absolutely anything but actually try and solve the problem.

Try watching the chief creative officer of tpusa Benny Johnson at tpusa’s recent conference and tell me that our fears are unfounded. Start at the 2min mark. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1FeqYqICcE&pp=ygUYYmVubnkgam9obnNvbiBraWNrIGRvb3Jz

I’m with you 100% on this. I wish I could turn it off and do something more important. But the way things currently are idk whether I’m gonna have basic rights one day to the next.

Ho ho ho, now I have a machineBUN!

I’m a Ky native, I grew up just a couple towns over from Jim Beam, I’ve built equipment for the bourbon industry, I have friends and family that currently work at distilleries. Keep up the boycott Canada, make it hurt. The majority of my fellow Kentuckians voted for Trump. Despite the rest of us warning them what would happen, we pleaded with them even, but here we are. They voted for greed and bigotry, and I have 0 sympathy for the ones that are losing their jobs over this. After all, it’s what they voted for.

I was thinking more in the sense of the villain giving their little speech to a protagonist that hasn’t ever killed anyone that “If you kill me then your just like me, you’ll be equally bad even though I’ve killed thousands and my death would actually be of benefit to the world.”

That trope in movies always bugs me. It’s such a stupid false equivalency.

I would gladly give it to every transphobe. Maybe then they’d develop a shred of empathy.

I feel so affirmed ❤

This is an oddly affirming statistic. We can now definitively prove that trans women are women, because they make 17-18% less than men.

To add to that, the whole short barrel rifle/shotgun thing is a mistake anyways. When they were first hammering out the national firearms act in the 1930s they were going to outlaw handguns entirely. To cover their bases they wanted to ensure that no one would simply cut down a rifle or shotgun to make a “pistol” they put in a section outlawing those too. After a lot of lobbying from the gun industry they ditched the legislation on handguns, but more or less forgot to remove the parts about SBRs and SBSs.

Pistols also have maneuverability on their side. Moving around a house is more difficult with something as long as a shotgun, which is fine if like you said you post up at the stairs or a choke point. But I have kids, if someone comes in my house, getting to them and ensuring they’re safe is my priority. Pistols also give you more rounds and easier reloads. It all depends on individual preference and situation. You’re right pistols take more practice to use effectively, but they’re way more versatile.
