I miss the slower nature of forums. Threads lived and died by who was interested in replying, and, with decent moderation, didn't lend itself well to being a firehose of late-breaking content.

i keep posting and deleting this but i'll leave it up this time: i'm staking my flag in the ground on this: my prediction is that the republican party will find itself going more left-wing than the democrats by 2032.

my theory: the republicans overwhelmingly pushed forward the bill on the epstein files so they have cover to impeach.

This is a really interesting labeler since it labels accounts with a few characteristics such as high daily post count.

I’m trying to keep my Following feed terse so this has been helpful.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

The distance in time between now and when Microsoft Office replaced drop down menus with the ribbon bar at the top is the same as the distance between then and the fall of the Berlin Wall

I’m happy that Mamdani won and all, but VA’s energy is incredibly underrated right now between Danica Roem and Louise Lucas.

It’s truly scary how few mainstream publications are willing to publish working class voices and perspectives (let alone leftist ones), and every one we lose is yet another blow to the fragile hope for a better world
