Recently had the opportunity to set up a new system from basically scratch and tried a few different wayland options, assuming I'd land on hyprland since it seemed to be the most beloved, but then I finished configuring sway and realized it was basically perfect. Might try swayfx at some point but I really don't understand how hyprland got so much of a following
In December 2015 I had already called the nomination for him, and I was the only person I knew who thought that was even remotely possible. Still never thought he'd win the general though.
Though I was definitely a lib I absolutely did laugh at Hilldawg losing lol

Voyager from ZSA, which is a wonderful board and sold me on low profile, but I do miss the tactility of the cherry switches on my last board. Waiting on lowprokb's silent tactile chocs so I can have my actual perfect typing experience, hopefully!
I'm slightly to the right of Attila the Hun
I hate that I know this but is this motherfucker identifying with the military coup portrayed in the fucking movie version of Evita? This is a line from that unless I'm mistaken. Just, an unbelievable level of cringe
EDIT: I was fucking right though it might also be from the original musical
Welcome to one of the more expensive hobbies a normal person might still fall into! Are the switches in your board hot swappable? Cause if not, just know changing switches would require desoldering and soldering on the new ones. But if you have a hot swap board you can just pull them out
Seconding ZSA, I couldn't be happier with my Voyager
Most jokerfied timeline: she resigns next month, McConnell refuses to allow appointments in an election year and Manchin joins him, Biden campaigns on the appointment, fails, Trump appoints Barron to ensure the court stays 7-2 for the next 40 years
There's another layer of really disgusting chauvinism in this I can't totally articulate. Dude clearly views Palestinians/probably any Arab American as being motivated by emotion, but the rational white people can rise above and observe the facts and logic of the situation. Infantilizing Palestinians but dressing it up in this "I hear you" language, but still genuinely believing they're stupid for being against being genocided.
You definitely don't have to hand it to him but I will grant that him just replying to that with himself through the same AI is extremely funny
I really like/liked this guy and I remember when I first found him I thought he had really good material analysis and then learned after that he says he's a structural Marxist or something and was excited. I can deal with the Stalin ate all the grain crap but was mostly turned off by the bit about people treating Marxism religiously in the modern day, which is not how I feel at all. There's baby leftists out there who maybe are just waiting around for the second coming of the USSR (but perfect this time) but I felt he was painting with too broad a brush and dismissing historical materialism as ahistorical just because capital is in fact hard to win against. Bordering on end of history stuff.
I think maybe it annoyed me to see someone who I usually felt had really good rational analysis say some dumb ass shit (looking at you Sabine Hossenfelder). I think I was also hoping for something about capital as a "real god"/demiurge or something and maybe that wasn't a fair assumption to go in with
Mostly commenting to remind myself to come back and revisit this video at some point I guess but also hoping other comrades can help me articulate why it rubbed me the wrong way.
