  • Zelensky isn’t the best fit, and his opponents in Russia call him a clown, yet this clown used and uses his media knowledge to, as a first face of the nation, keep this conflict feautured in world news, frequent frontlines, give a lot of direct adresses to his own people in this struggle, ask for supplies and support from other nations. I believe, he puts 125% effort into this and is likely shortening his own life by a constant overwork and stress. He and his people aren’t the best, and their country is plagued with post-ussr-style corruption, indeed, yet they do what they think is right in this turbulent situation.

    I’d indulge in whataboutism and ask, who we are to compare with the dude. Putin, Trump or Orban? What’s the baseline that’d put him to shame?


  • It’s weird how a person so seemingly unimportant hasn’t been converted into a scarecrow, made to vouch for key positions in their plan, etc. This man is either sleaky enough to avoid much of responsibility for what happens or everyone in the HQ forgot about him. His position doesn’t mean much power in the US, but it’s really interesting that he doesn’t get much coverage as a legally second in chief and seemingly abstain from everything while, before Musk got the wheel I thought he would play a key role in advocating for everythng techbros are up for.


  • There is an aspect to that making it simplier in my eyes. Most cases of projection are a sign of being completely unaware of the world around them, other people’s experiences, lack of interest and empathy. Trumps idea of slacking off is rooted in his own leisure routines because he hasn’t talked with average people in a long while if at all. There’s likely not that much of intent, not in his ramblings, but a genuine lack of touch. He’s probably thinking that there are poor golf courses for poor people for casual networking like he does. You know, where they brag about their poor peoples deals, investments and tax dodging. He isn’t a good liar and in his unscripted rants he is showing what he actually thinks. Rephrasing the old saying, if you are Trump, everyone looks like Trumps.

    It’s not like I excuse him or think he’d do better if he’d know his shit. It’s just a common occurence that career politicians usually get caught on. My own dictator couldn’t imagine that the average monthly wage isn’t in 7 figures because he usually sat in his bunker since COVID and forgot what money even are.



  • Musk’s and his actions are illegal, or were illegal mostly before the Supreme Court decided there’s some sleezy presidential immunity. The problem is they are so firm and quick at changing the rules of the game that no institution can catch up and, most importantly, generally afraid they would be directly attacked by these fuckers. Some commenters preciously said that it’s stupid that most of people who could’ve challenged or straight up dismissed his executive orders are pussies for resigning or being complicit, but, in their defence, all of their personal data was leaked by Muskrat and he and Trump have a pardoned terrorist cell to carbomb them or whatever. And it’s snowballing from department to department, and every new one looks at those who already kneed to the maggot.

    All these famous checks and balances were DDOSed and frightened into submission. i don’t think they were exceptionally and inherently fragile. it’s just the rightwing strategists just got the right guy, the right coverage and the right plan to make it all as easy as break-and-enter with absent homeowners.


  • He isn’t, he is still polite to give Donnie a benefit of a doubt, like he is speaking like that because he’s got malinformed. No, Trump uses his position to exchange Ukraine and the security of Europe for whatever he was promised or he himself promised beforehand for his success in pres campaign previosly, so he just closes his debts. Zelensky couldn’t say that to Trump all other countries and his own nation are paper tokens he uses to play monopoly with his friends. Ukrainian defence depend too deeply on what Biden’s given them before so as a diplomat he doesn’t want to cross out the US even though he knows that with Trump they’d hardly get anything. And it’s not about the US specifically, it’s a standard that keeps every other donor comfortable to donate arms and money, setting the climate in which no random and immidiate decisions pass, unlike what Trump does.









  • Blender installs natively from Steam and works without any emulation of windows’ stuff. I noticed the download size is different for Linux, so I guess they cared to pack everything needed for it to work smoothly.

    Some distro claimed they did everything to make UX with Resolve one of their targets, I believe it’s Nobara or maybe Bazzite. It’s not emulated either and installers are also provided by the devs of Resolve themselves.

    Affinity have no plans to make a Linux version, so it’s always emulated and has workarounds like that (github) but I haven’t used their software even on Windows so Idk how the experience of using their products is. Coming to Linux, I got used to Inkscape for my vector needs and Krita\Photopea for raster gfx. I heard Darktable is a good Lightroom alternative if it’s up your valley.


  • There’d probably arise a need of a default instance with only guest access for a test drive before they pick their own instance, with some pop ups pointing at the fact that the name [email protected] means he is a part of some meta-subreddit lemmy.ml, that doesn’t mean shit for he just helped [email protected] with a link to the source. Their likes are collected but never shown. When they’d want to stop lurking and finally press a login button, it shall instead invite them to see instances of people they liked before first, others next, with tips what lead some rank so high in their list. After the signup is confirmed, their likes may or may not be transported, but their temporal profile is deleted.

    I see the natural flow would be something akin to that: we start with a showcase of general content from different nearly-default instances and then get them recs about persons they did enjoy reading.
