aaaaa you’re not me!

Do you think it’s realistic to take back any branch of government from like, actual whole ass conservatives by dividing the only coalition we have?

This framing isn’t particularly helpful for solidarity.

The left relies on coalitions. Criticizing the stewards of those coalitions because they fail to address the needs of the people they rely on for votes is helpful and constructive. Just reducing all left-wing voters to a pair of stereotypes and trying to push one of those stereotypes away from the other? Not helpful.

We need nuanced dialogue and mutual aid. It’s a matter of survival. This isn’t that.

Why is this thread full of Nazi propaganda? Yikes. 😬

One of the major barriers for me to switching to Linux as my primary OS was a simple hardware limitation. I use a Logitech MX Ergo, and I spend much of my time in Discord voice chats. The open source driver for my mouse, Solaar, wasn’t able to be configured to properly hold down the mouse buttons that I use for push to talk. That, to me, is a complete deal-breaker.

I also haven’t yet spent the time to figure out JACK audio as an alternative to Voicemeeter Potato, which is another big hurdle, but if my push to talk doesn’t even work there’s little incentive to do that.

I’ll have to see if Solaar has been updated to get this functionality working yet. If it has, maybe I’ll give it another shot. I honestly would love to switch to Linux. I prefer it in a lot of ways, but short of learning to make a driver myself or code something to fill the gap, it’s a barrier I haven’t really seen a way around. There seems to be a fair bit of that with Linux in niche use-case scenarios, which is I think one of the major obstacles to more wide-spread adaptation.
