It's exhausting...
  • Democrats say "vote!" -> not enough people actually vote

    If it's known that voting isn't effective for whatever reason (including turnout) then suggesting it in the first place is a marker that one is unserious about realistic solutions and should be ignored.

  • Biden supporters mostly back him in 2024 election because they oppose Trump, poll finds
  • Politicians need mandatory retirements. We need someone under the age of 65.

    Ah yes, ageism.

    There's nobody over 65 who is a good political leader. Nobody under 65 is a bad political leader. Everyone immediately turns into a useless chump on their 65th birthday. They should all be puréed into a drink to sustain the rest of us.

  • What jobs were you horrified to learn are done by people with little to no experience or training?
  • It was a revelation at some point in my young life when I realized that CEOs (and any other executive position) are not the highly trained and capable leaders with grand business acumen that I was led to believe they are. Literally anyone can be a CEO for a few dollars and their name on a business registration with the local government, no training or capability is required.

    Horrifying in retrospect to realize how many people lionize executives simply for adopting a title.

  • YSK: lemmy.ml is managed by tankies, and lead lemmy developer is a tankie
  • Having to copy a line from a document titled "The Principles of Communism" just to sign up should've tipped you off that something was a bit weird.

    Uh what? How is it weird to have a mild anti-bot task in a registration process? That's pretty normal.

    If you're objecting to the content in the text, well that's just silly. A communist instance referencing communist writings is not "weird", that'd be entirely within the realm of reasonable expectation.

    If you feel so threatened by the mere presence of communism in your bubble, maybe don't try to join an instance by and for them? How dare the dastardly communists be so happy and welcoming to everyone!

  • Simple FOSS GUI for Python
  • I haven't used it much myself, it could be too early in it's development to be useful, just thought I'd mention it though!

    It looks like tabs are supported, but they call them an OptionContainer.

    It seems like one sacrifices a lot of customizability for simplicity of code with this toolkit, but that might be fine for some use-cases.

  • Simple FOSS GUI for Python
  • I've historically used PySide (the free-license version of Qt) but for simple stuff like you're looking for, you might get some mileage out of the Toga GUI toolkit. It's relatively new, but promising.

    I've actually been pretty impressed with the whole suite of BeeWare stuff in my informal testing so far; it's a nice little bundle of tools. (Specifically I'm interested most in their distribution approach; building Python apps for distribution is a giant fucking pain, but this group seems to have improved the experience significantly.)

  • Reminder...
  • That's kind of a circular logic though; the DNC alienates voters who don't like their blessed candidates. If they didn't do that, and more leftist candidates like Sanders were welcomed, then the "average Democrat" might look a bit different.

  • Reminder...
  • Hillary won the popular vote in 2016 by a nearly 3 million vote margin, I don't think you need to feel any regret over your one vote going to someone else you actually wanted to vote for.

    Also, even if she'd lost the popular vote too, it ain't the voters fault that the DNC keeps deliberately sabotaging the good candidates in their primaries to give us turds.

  • Conservative Owns the Libs by Paying $4,000 a Month for His Ford F-350
  • In Australia the "Liberals" are the centre right capitalist centric party

    In America too; they just don't know they are until they meet an actual leftist, and even then most of them don't figure it out.

  • It's Time to Bring Back the Steam Machine
  • I'm not sure what else they would need to do. You can just install Plex or Jellyfin on your Steamdeck right now, and you've got yourself an HTPC. It works great!

    What are the missing pieces you're still looking for?

  • How to identify “unavailable" videos on yt?
  • What I've done in the past is to copy the URL of the unavailable video (if it's still accessible via the playlist entry, sometimes it isn't which is annoying) and feed it into the Wayback Machine and hope that it got archived at some point. The video isn't usually available that way, but at least the page title sometimes is, and then I can search for other versions of it.

  • Does anybody else feel guilty being suspicious of anybody in a black hoodie with the hood up?
  • Just pointing out how ironic it is that your response to someone informing you that you are being manipulated by police propaganda is to... go find stats sourced from the police to argue that you feel justified agreeing with the police propaganda.

  • unable to login to lemmy.ml using 1.0.152

    I believe 1.0.152 is meant to be the version compatible with the new Lemmy release, and it works pretty well as a guest user. Unfortunately, when I try to login to lemmy.ml (which uses the new server version), I get Error: An unknown error has occurred.

    Looked through the app and didn't see any official bug report area mentioned, so I hope this is the right place to go for this. If not, sorry for the noise!
