He’s right-wing only in the sense that American politics is so far right compared to other industrialized countries that even the left-wing is right-wing in comparison.
Compared to America’s right-wing (aka fascists, aka Republicans (the party, not everyday people, though many of them too)), he’s basically Jesus.
But that doesn’t shield our … president from criticism.
Agreed, but criticizing him for stuff he’s not guilty of only degrades the credibility of actual legit criticisms. It’s the boy who cried wolf.
That’s fair. Like I said, I mostly don’t use them. But if I really need to remember something in the short term, I’ll put it on the desktop. Or if I don’t really have any other place to put it I’ll put it there.
My point is that it’s useful to have when you need it, even if you don’t normally use it. Although I suppose it wouldn’t be difficult necessarily to find a new workflow. Still, to most everyday people I imagine desktop icons are kind of a non-issue.
I have opened in a tab that article you sent me. If keeping such an otherwise minor feature available is such a problem for future development for developers, I will have to read that. Because it otherwise seems almost inconsequentially small a detail when compared to the OS / file system experience as a whole.
Not sure about the similarities here, but I actually love GTK when it comes to app design. It’s one of the things I miss about Linux in Windows. (Yes, I’m a Windows user—not by choice, though.) About the only thing I hate about it is that for some reason a lot of GTK app designers think a simpler design should mean less functionality. Gimme my damn right-click context menus dammit! >_<
Do not misunderstand me. I don’t generally use a lot of desktop icons. For the most part, the fewer icons are on my desktop the better, but I do have a few.
But back when Ubuntu briefly got rid of them, it sucked because occasionally I do want some icons on my desktop.
In short: if you don’t wanna use any, you don’t have to; just gimme the damn option.
Cyrillic isn’t just scrambled Latin script, the letters have different sounds.
No, I knew that. I genuinely thought they were saying to transliterate it according to visual similarities. Lol.
Visual similarity can cause a lot of issues with learning the alphabet, because some are what they look like (т, о, е, м, б, к, [х, but pronounced weird]), but others aren’t (с = s, р = R, я = ya, н = N, и = ee, з = z, г = g)…
it isn’t translated - it’s just English in the Cyrillic alphabet.

I must be misunderstanding you. I transliterated it to Latin script based on visual similarity but it still doesn’t seem to make any coherent sentence.
Text does not convey tone or subtext in general well at all. Thus, never assume that sarcasm will be obvious to absolutely everybody. So, just to be safe, it’s best to just always use /s if you’re being sarcastic, at least when speaking amongst the general public.
They were either on here or !memes. I can’t remember. And I can’t find those posts either; they might have been deleted. Either way, the mods here might have noticed them on there and decided to nip it in the bud to prevent a political flame war here.
Again, I’m just speculating out of my ass here. Don’t really know. :)
(And yeah that makes sense. I usually browse Lemmy by New.)
Edit: Not sure I have the correct syntax for the community link above… :/
I think it’s because there’s already been a few in close succession so it might be seen as a concerted effort to promote a political position on the topic of abortion.
