I mean I agree with everything you wrote. I would never not vote and I strongly condemn not voting. I’m still trying to figure out what else I can actually do. Besides protesting, which I’ve also done and then bunches of lemmings shit on those too.

You’re right about the popular vote. I keep forgetting that because it’s not been the case previously and for so many other Republican presidents. You say I’m conflating these concepts but imo they are all intermingled by default, especially in the case of who owns trump. I wish I knew what to do. I tried joining a local action group but I don’t really see it being valuable and I don’t agree with all of their approaches even if I thought they could get shit done.

There is a feeling of hopelessness right now and who can blame us? Even if we manage to convince Democrats to move further to the left, and it works, we still have SUCH an uphill battle to fight moving forward. Fascist ideology is popular, obviously. And no I’m far from advocating for doing nothing. I just don’t know what I can realistically do in the short or long term.

If only someone had warned everyone that trump is a malignant narcissist moron who wasn’t equipped to run a 7/11.

So we’re supposed to own what we didn’t vote for and only happened because we have a bunch of morons and propagandists plus a horrifically anti-democratic system called the electoral college? Nope, sorry. I don’t own this. Even if I were willing to take some responsibility, which I’m not (I tried to talk sense into countless idiots), it’s way more complicated than “Americans voted for this”. And it’s by a lot.

Just curious. Exactly what would be gained if I thought this was my fault? Would my introspection transfer by osmosis to millions of trump cultists?

Unless you get 100% of your power from the solar panels which is doubtful, then you’re using solar power that could’ve gone to something actually necessary

It seems it was recent enough to spell common words correctly

Explain how this amount of electricity use could ever be “ethically sourced”. That’s not even much of a thing for meat, which at least provides nutrients. AI slop is everywhere and most of it is not helping anyone with anything.

Even if AI were the miracle people like you suggest, you’re still destroying the environment. But also it’s not miraculous. Which you conflictingly say is and is not the case…

If you weren’t upset you wouldn’t be repeatedly claiming I’m infringing on your rights. But I won’t have to see any more of your baseless accusations moving forward. 🚫

Yes I have unhealthy habits which I’m not telling you to shut up about. You came into the thread and pretended this was a personal attack when all it ever was is a concern for the harm certain things have in society. It’s really not complicated, stop trying to change this conversation into something it never was for me

I’m allowed to talk about how unhealthy your bad habit is, last I checked.

You asked a question you didn’t care about, ignored my valid point, then tried to pretend I’m threatening your rights. Gotta be a Republican. 👋

Stop being an unreachable unempathic unimaginitive weirdo who thinks sneezing into the air other people are breathing is not gross.

I agree with most of what you wrote, but I think it getting discontinued was foreseeable and it not being compatible with anything not-apple was guaranteed. So given those two things it couldn’t have been possibly worth it, from the get go.

Haha I remember the fanboys rabidly defending the cost of this product. Soon they will literally be $4000 paperweights.

“sneezing down toward the floor” allows trillions of fine mist particles to go airborne, rather than get washed off your hand. Soap and water work.

Yes desperately stopping a sneeze from flying on other people a certain way because you know you can wash your hands afterwards is exactly like sticking you fingers into shit in your own asshole. Exactly the same.

I think this wins “stupidest Internet argument” for the year for me. Maybe you win “most judgy, least understanding weird scolder” for the year too.

I update my system often and believe it or not reboot more than once every couple years ;) I’m clueless about all these details I just know from a user perspective I had some annoyances and breakages.

I am not familiar with AppManager at all.

You likely ran an outdated version of appimagelauncher

I’m just curious how you think this would have happened. Did I install it, not use it for months, never update my system, then start using it?

I am not sure it matters why or what issues I had, but I had a few, enough to look for an alternative. In fact my experience with AIL is part of the reason I avoid appImages. They just don’t seem to work well in my experience. In any case you were dismissive in your first message and really negative about software that works fine for me, citing reasons that don’t seem relevant to my use case, about details that never seemed to impact me. I just know I tried to use AIL for a couple of years and had issues multiple times, the last time resulting in breaking an app. So I stopped using it.
