I’ve found consistent enjoyment from Stylix on NixOS. Applies tinted-theming compatible schemes, either custom or from a toml file, to every app with color customization. Easy to exclude, too, which means my Waybar and Neovim stay the same, even when my Hyprland and Kitty change, and can also be updated independently.

Plus, for custom configs that you still want to follow the system palette updates, you can always color = mkOverride ( lib.Stylix.colors.base0X ) to custom-swap within your existing palette.

I’m (genuinely, curiously) interested in the logic for not voting at all.

As I see it, mathematically speaking, my vote is counted either way. The election outcome not being influenced by my lack of vote is effectively giving half my vote to each candidate, for a net zero.

As I see it, given it’s going to be counted either way, I’d rather it be counted for the candidate closer to my preferences.

Comrade, what would you recommend I do with that 45 minutes on a workday other than vote?

At no point did I say I’m not engaging in organization. I do, and I think i do so quite effectively. I will also vote for Platner, because the alternative is to effectively vote for both Platner and Collins. My vote will be counted either way, mathematically speaking.

****Brother I am, the camdidates I wanted didn’t come in first in ranked choice. Volunteering, protesting, didn’t win out. Thankfully, we at least have ranked choice.

What am I supposed to do, not vote? Like theres only two people who are realistic to win. I’m gonna puty first choice on a leftist party, but we all understand the mathematical reality of American electoralism mandates two parties and that capitalism has corrupted both.

Platner is likely to be less harmful to the global south. I’m trying to change restaurants, but renouncing citizenship and leaving is easier said than done. Paperwork takes time.

I’m not saying Platner’s a comrade. I disagree starkly with him politically. Also, his platform would be materially better than Susan “photo ops with white supremacist militias” Collins.

To make a food analogy: I like a turkey Reuben. Platner is a McDonald’s dollar-menu burger that’s been sitting in the sun all day. Collins is a can of indoor-use DDT pesticide from the '50s.

Neither is what I want to eat, but I only get two choices and I’m gonna be forced to eat one of them. I’m gonna choose the one that’s less likely to immediately harm me.

jjjjjjjjjjj? Nah fam, 11j.

I was on the fence about this exact thing. My logic is that corruption requires wealthy/powerful people to be corrupt in favor of. If there were no billionaire class, no bourgeoisie, there would be no people who benefit from the oppression of the proletariat, so corruption as we conceive of it in modern America couldn’t exist.

Of course, people will act unpredictably and some people with power will abuse it, but the whole system of billions being spent on campaign contributions and lobbyist dinners couldn’t continue if there weren’t entities with billions to spend.

This is just acknowledging that the government wouldn’t be corrupt without the billionaires. By the logic of your post, the left is correct and the right is not.

Chapters 2 and 3 are downloadable content, but Steam shows them as being free along with Ch.1 at the moment

Why are we talking about her cancer? Doesn’t she know the Dow is over 50k?

I assume some instances have coordinated-attack prevention software that disables traffic from past offender IPs, and VPNs are a common way to centralize and anonymize data. Whether malicious in intent or not, a strike against your VPN server might cause a blockage.

You’re arguing the difference between internment camps vs concentration camps? Waiter, this fediverse has a fed in it!

Thank you! I believe Vim is a deeply individual and almost emotional experience, and a bit of rambling is always worthwhile to get the perspective of a Vim setup.

Either the incessant ads for AI integrations that you’ll eventually be willing to pay to get rid of, or the ecological devastation of it all. Take your bet on which’ll happen first

For much, not for all.

System and user files are pretty close to one another in NixOS, so I use it for both. Sudoedit is set to vim, but I have a kitty and neovim (technically it’s nnot nvim, it’s nvf so I can config it in Nix instead of Lua) environment that tiles quite nicely and uses nonconflicting keymaps.

I use mod+hjkl for navigating my window manager, too, which has led to an interesting situation. Hyprland just migrated to Lua from Hyprscript, and Neovim uses a lot of Lua for inbuilt commands and stuff, so you’d think I’d be thrilled to write them both in the same language. Instead I just sigh at the greener grass because I already configured them both in Nix.

I do use Obsidian (with Vim binds, and monospace source mode as default for everything except tables) for my markdown viewer / primary notekeeping cloud sync, and Kate for previewing media that needs to be formatted right as a .doc or .pdf.

Some Obsidian notes are handled with Vim, actually. I have a script that sets up a new Zettelkasten note with automatic tags and opens it in Neovim, because I find it faster than Obsidian when I have a single thought and need to write it before it’s forgotten. Thanks ADHD. I write Zettelkasten like little scripts of code - unique, atomic, referencing and importing each other, with a unique version history, and Vim’s great at that.

Salt Fat Acid Heat. No, it isn’t explicitly vegan, but it was instrumental in me being a good enough cook to improv vegan stuff and have it taste awesome.

I understand that wish of yours.

Fuck AI, fuck the slop it vomits out, and thank goodness we aren’t hooking up autoslop machines to StackOverflow.

What am I if I want everyone whose lands are being rolled into by oligarch tanks to fight and win their a central homes back?

Lenin said that if he were in Britain, he’d vote Labour. Not because he agrees with them, but to show the British people that yes, moving leftwards does make improvements and no, Labour is not doing enough. To show them that a further-left Socialist party is needed.

Accelerationism is a … choice. It’s easier, in my view, to push further left under ineffective neoliberalism than it is under right-wing authoritarianism. What you may view as a chance to get your ideal from the ashes, the fascists view as their chance to put you down for good.

I’m fortunate to live in a state with ranked-choice, where I can literally make a gradient of my preferences for nearly every contested election I vote in.

What I see most frequently is uncontested elections. Vote for the one registered candidate, or write someone in. Most of those have an R next to their name, and dollars to doughnuts a red armband in their closet.

“Liberate” is an interesting choice of term, given the communities in question aren’t in Russia’s sovereignty.

To be clear, I don’t personally have proof of whether the citizenry is broadly thrilled about or terrified of the soldiers in their streets.

I just believe it’s journalistic best practice for any case where an army taking part in a war of territorial expansion claims territory to use a neutral term like “control” rather than a biased one like “liberate” or “oppress”.
