  • It’s been great almost since I started using it.

    I started using it exactly when 4.0 came out, because that’s when I started using Linux and I thought learning 3 didn’t make sense. But 4 only got stable around 4.4 I think. The problem was that 4.0 wasn’t intended to be for end users yet, but distributions didn’t realize that and packaged it right away.

    KDE didn’t repeat that mistake. 5.0 was almost completely smooth sailing (some applications took a long time to port and looked ugly, that’s it), and 6.0 was completely seamless.






  • Because that’s how the spoiler effect works.The more support a leftist third party gets, the easier it is for the Republicans to win.

    I can’t tell you how to fix it, but I can tell you that an election with 10% Socialists, 40% Dems, and 50% Reps will scare people away from voting Socialists.

    At least as long as MAGA is a thing and the Dems aren’t seen as totally corrupt and basically the same as the Reps by the general public. And believe me: they aren’t.




  • Hilarious. Let me think about who I’d vote for if I was US-American. The Fascist or the at least slightly socially progressive neoliberals? It’s anyone’s guess really. NO. Of course the Dems, fucking obviously.

    So if I was US-American and also hit in the head enough to consider voting for third party in a country with a first-past-the-post voting system, I’d not vote for the Dems as a result.

    This is called the spoiler effect. This makes her a spoiler candidate, no matter her intention.
