Favored is a strong word here imho. Very few people want Biden, it seems to me. Also, in a leftist community, I'd hope the choice between a neoliberal and a fascist would be obvious. I hate neoliberalism as much as the next socialist, but I shudder at the thought of the impact Trump with project 2025 in hand would have on the world.
Lmao I thought of Allegro Common Lisp at first.
It's quite obvious that it's very different to use it as a verb and as a noun to refer to someone.
Signs like this make me sad
SDDM is still X11 based, no matter which desktop you run with it. I have tried enabling Wayland on it, but it's been... Unstable to say the least.
Spotify is CEF, I think, and it works pretty well.
No OS is perfect, as you likely do have to use a proprietary modem and some proprietary apps, but CalyxOS works well for me on my Fairphone 4. I like the base install being as free as realistically possible on a modern Android phone, especially replacing Google apps with microG. Just don't enable SafetyNet if you don't want it to run (sandboxed) Google blobs. That API is deprecated anyways.
The experience is smooth, free and I get a repairable phone without having generative """AI""" shoved down my throat. A win on all fronts in my opinion.
Also, SafetyNet is deprecated, and Google has said that app developers shouldn't use it for a long time before that, so I've never had to use it. My experience of a blob-free microG has been really good, and I trust FOSS code a hell of a lot more than sandboxed proprietary code, because I can't be sure what it does with the data I inevitably do provide it.
MicroG has also been very clear IMO about SafetyNet not being a reimplementation, but rather a sandbox when it was relevant.
I feel freer now :)
Me n my friend love Rain World but hate Reddit, where do we go?
Alt text: A scene out of a Pirates of The Carribean movie consisting of two panels with the top one reading: You are without a doubt the worst Mesopotamian copper merchant I've ever heard of.
and the bottom one with a picture of an ancient sumerian statue reading: But you HAVE heard of me.
Witch cooperatives would be pretty rad, though :D
