  • Like how the GOP crumbled after two Obama losses to put in a ‘populist’ in Trump, the DNC should fold over, kick out the donors, fire everyone & let the populist movement Bernie really kicked off take over, & let Bernie lead it while he has the vigor to do the leading but not run for presidency. Neocons on both sides should be exiled (lol at taking the Cheney endorsement). A wave of young voters & workers would love to see such a populist overthrow of the establishment (even if they don’t yet understand that what they really want is to overthrow capitalism).

    Instead the DNC will adopt the Haskell programming language motto: avoid success at all costs.




  • 2.0 was released 20 years ago in 2004… a lot of things, including software, can change in 20 years. 3.0 finally has adjustment layers, et al. that they have been working on since I first started following in 2008 but had blockers on GEGL & all sorts of massive refactors… which are now finally coming. If there was a time to try to get a new opinion on GIMP, it will be now (or very soon when 3.0 is finally officially released).








  • None.

    I had a Razer laptop in the past when they were talking about being dev laptop forward & supporting Linux.

    This never happened. Instead flashing Linux voids the warranty now, support drops you, & firmware upgrades only happen thru a green-accented genuine Microsoft Windows GUI installation (no *.bin flashing, no CLI FreeDOS support, no Windows PE).






  • Xmonad. I prefer tiling window managers, & I tried Sway but I can’t do color work without proper color management… something Wayland doesn’t support. Thus, I moved back to my old Xmonad config awaiting Wayland to get its shit together after years saying color management was around the corner & distros still adopting it despite not being ready.
