DWL might be the choice then. It’s a Wayland take on DWM, so minimal as can be.

What other Wayland tilers have you tried? Niri, Sway, and River are all established and have become stable. I’ve heard good things about DWL too, but it’s not something I’ve tried.

I’d recommend avoiding Hyprland and the other projects by that dev. Incredibly toxic and transphobic.

Granted, it’s open source so you’re not exactly financially supporting them, so it’s more a question of platforming and justifying the sponsorships they get from third parties.

Looks very loose though. Wouldn’t shock me if it was a similar amount of tobacco to a modern cigar.

I refer you to @teft@piefed.social 's excellent summation. My conclusion on the meaning of the research was faulty.

Ah! Thank you for the correction. Much appreciated!

You brushed against the real truth there. Haha. Stupid joke, sorry.

The truth is that surfaces never “touch”. How do you touch an atom? Even an atom in a tight lattice or molecule is held in place only loosely by electromagnetic forces. The electron shells are a convenient idea more than they’re real, they’re not a real boundary for another atom to bump against. And the nucleus is so much tinier than the innermost shell it’s hard to wrap your mind around.

Basically, surfaces don’t truly exist. In reality the surface is just a fuzzy area where things are limited in how close they can get before the forces between the electromagnetic layers push back.

So friction is just when one electromagnetic fuzzy thing interferes with another electromagnetic fuzzy thing’s lateral motion, and that interference atom to atom creates movement in the lattice of each which creates heat.

This finding is just that in special circumstances those electromagnetic fuzzy things can be a lot further apart when they interfere with each other.

You’re unconvinced and so am I. Let’s agree to disagree.

But there’s no evidence if Norway had more representatives, or more people per representative, that their democracy would crumble.

I truly, honestly, believe a democracy doesn’t have to be small to be effective or social. There are many smaller democracies that don’t score well, such as most of South America, the Caribbean, much of Africa, etc.

I think that sets apart those democracies on the list you keep referencing is sane election policies, money and religion separated from politicians as much as possible, free journalism, an engaged voting base, a recall system, and basically any electoral system not first past the post.

So far you’ve provided examples, and I truly appreciate that. I also appreciate you being earnest and willing to have a real conversation about this. I’m truly not trying to be dismissive or disrespectful.

No, not proof. That’s hardly an argument. You pulled numbers out of your ass and pretended they’re the right ones with no further consideration or evidence given.

I could as easily say that 10 million per rep and 1000 reps should work with the right system and infrastructure. That gives me a number that I like… But it’s not evidence.

That doesn’t show that democratic socialism or social democracy won’t work.

Birds never stopped being dinosaurs 🤷

Yep exactly. As soon as they announced they weren’t going to ramp capacity I thought the exact same thing. They’re taking advantage of the situation to pad their pockets as thoroughly as possible.

And if demand continues theywill ramp and say they “reevaluated the market”, and thus get the benefits of panic buying AND a larger sales volume.

And mark my words- prices will never fall back to where it was without enormous market distruption.

1. Homeless shelters, housing, and work programs.

2. Education, and especially special education and mental health support in schools.

3. Small business low interest loans and art grants.

Correlation does not imply causation. Show me a mechanism, with evidence. The mechanism I propose is that if a society looks even slightly too leftist the billionaire class does everything they can to destroy or sabotage it.

Also, there isn’t a crisp definition or delineation between a social democracy and a democratic socialist one. Again- quibble over definitions as much as you want. A social democracy is several important steps in the right direction.

And capitalistic centrism / authoritarianism is NOT “working” globally. It’s just managed to kick the can down the curb for a while.

Nope.

The claim is “it doesn’t work”. The proof is due on behalf of the people making the claim.

I’m not making a claim. I’m asking “tell me why, specifically, this won’t work but other systems do.”

The “socialism only works at small scales” argument is tired, lazy, and boring.

Explain why. Be honest with me and yourself. And if you start in about “but the oil is funding that”, yes exactly. That’s how it should work, the USA gives away billions of dollars to capitalists every day with it’s mineral riches.

Democratic socialism (or social democracy… the definitions are not crisp or distinct) is already working in several Nordic countries of millions. Together they have populations of tens of millions. We can argue definitions if you like, but they’re much closer. So much closer that I’ll take that as the first several steps in our journey as a society.

Even if for some weird reason democratic socialism won’t ‘work’ at the size of hundreds of millions when it works at the scale of tens of millions, capitalism is currently falling flat in the USA and dozens of other countries, and offers much worse outcomes for 99.9% of it’s population all the while.

Manjaro is such an antipattern of a distro.

Arch Linux has a good installer now.

If you need good installer and sane defaults, EndeavorOs exists.

And the biggest advantages of arch Linux- the configurability, rolling updates, and AUR, all effectively get broken by Manjaro.

Honestly why is anyone using it or taking it seriously anymore?

Not a Perez fan at all after the shit he pulled at the close of Force India, intentionally sabotaging Ocon’s race on multiple occasions and crashing into him on purpose twice while they jockeyed over a single seat.

Baku 2017, Hungary 2017, Belgium 2017, Singapore 2017 were particularly egregious.

And it was a pattern of behavior at McLaren too, causing them to drop him.

He couldn’t pull that shit against Stroll, the team owner’s son, or against Max, the golden boy of Red Bull who is probably even more aggressive and hot headed than he is, and so his image has changed since then.

Bottas is an absolute bro through. And he’s fucking hilarious. The “BottASS” calendar he raised money for charity with (bought one for my friend as a gag gift we both laughed hysterically at), and the painting of himself laying naked in the creek he gifted to Hamilton will forever be one of my favorite F1 moments.
