@nprofile1q... Just tested and it seems like the most recent update enabled this for all tabs (previously only private tabs). I don’t see any option to disable it, either.

@nprofile1q... Are there counterexamples? i.e., are there states with Republican governors and majorities but that are acceptable or even good to live in (by whatever those standards are)?

(I would assume not, obviously.)

@nprofile1q... ‘no easy answers’ actually there are very easy answers it’s just that Labour doesn’t like them.

@nprofile1q... It seems to me that they're still overlooking a number of candidates on the left of the party who'd been sidelined by Starmer (Long-Bailey comes to mind). Although of course I don't know whether they themselves want to stand either.

Agreed completely though that this is not a Green problem to solve. Concerning if Labour have no other acceptable candidates within the PLP but it's their job to find one, not other parties' job to stand aside to give them one.

If there had been a formal agreement with actual commitments by Labour that'd be a different matter. But of course Burnham can't even really make promises because he can't be sure he'd become leader even if he wins the by-election.

@nprofile1q... Is Burnham even the least-bad candidate? He's the only candidate who's put himself forwards so far but he's given no reason to think he'd be a noticeable improvement over Starmer.

Streeting would unquestionably be worse if he ran (he might as well not bother though). Miliband has been listed as a possibility and while he has problems I don't see that he's any worse than Burnham. Ditto Rayner.

I see so many people (especially on Bluesky) fawning over Burnham though. (And it's not even guaranteed that he's eligible as a candidate yet!)

@nprofile1q... when I tried it about a year back it seemed to work pretty well — as well as Linux at least. I stopped because I needed better suspend support, not because of anything Wayland-specific.

@nprofile1q... what is the point of this?

even more worthless than the usual “AI” bullshit

@nprofile1q... Yeah, I’ve felt the same way about Thatcher: it’s all very well to joke about ‘ding dong the witch is dead’ and everything, but her death didn’t fix anything, and at that point she was long retired — it would be different if her death had prevented active harm, perhaps.

And yet of course the harm is always systemic. If Thatcher had died in office someone just as bad would have taken over. If Trump died now, probably the same. So I think you’re right that the only thing to hope for is their survival long enough to face consequences.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... god that description alone is incredibly fucking bleak. no real band in history has ever describe itself in this way. if it was written by a human it would be a human who didn’t actually know anything about metal music but had had it described to them (or perhaps any music, or maybe even the entirety of human experience).

@nprofile1q... is this related to the ‘I care about outcomes more than process’ nonsense? (where they ignore that the outcomes are also bad.)
