Yeah hook me up with their number I'll do it

I used mine all the time because I hate using bluetooth even though I have expensive bluetooth headphones, I have now cancelled you out

MoE

You'll want to not use cinnamon for HDR, cinnamon is not going to get it for a very long time, KDE is a much more up to date environment and it works mostly out of the box on the most recent versions. Although I don't think those patches have made it to mint yet.

ah, i was already a ~120wpm typist on qwerty when i switched to dvorak, so, that might have something to do with it.

I don't have this experience, I am briefly confused for a second and then it's fine, are you sure this lasts more than like 30 seconds?

Then i'd recommend the element client in particular.

^^ there's also this!

Element/matrix all the way

if you want something that looks like discord there are themes for the clients, there's even commet.chat for a discord like experience (but they haven't added calls yet)

I think when it comes to popular figures that are relevant in a way orwell is, the best thing for convincing people is to absolutely steelman and not make any debatable negative claims. Even if that's completely true, you're going to convince fewer people by saying it simply because it's a matter of opinion and seems easily refutable in that way.

Bad strategy. Even if you're not trying to convince the lib people will read that and think your argument is weaker.

I said "decentralize power" in this case, yes, it would be a more centralized economic structure and a more centralized government, but it's vastly less heirarchical, because it's significantly more democratic, I think that's still accurate, socialists don't want to centralize everything, power in particular is something all socialists want to decentralize, because we want power to be in the proletariats hands, and the proletariat is many.

Even in the case of a vanguard party, the ultimate goal is democratization of the economy/state, among other things.

However, i am probably ALSO being nitpicky so whatever. Communists are a nitpicky bunch.

In this case, I think saying he liked Hitler is actually weakening your argument, even if it's completely true, it's clear from the reading that he wished he could personally kill hitler, but found him charismatic, and is saying that charisma is what his success was found on.

All of what you said there might be true, and all of that makes your case that he was a bad man better, but doesn't make the case that he liked him better. At the end of the day, you don't like someone you wish you could have killed. Saying he liked hitler when the reading makes it clear he wished he could kill him makes your other claims more dubious, not stronger, you should probably refrain from that in the future if your goal is to convince people.

All of those things may be true bad things about orwell, but none of them means he was clearly a fan of hitler.

Furthermore, I think antagonizing orwell, even if he was bad is just bad praxis for convincing people to be anti-capitalist.

"Hitler could not have succeeded against his many rivals if it had not been for the attraction of his own personality, which one can feel even in the clumsy writing of Mein Kampf, and which is no doubt overwhelming when one hears his speeches. I should like to put it on record that I have never been able to dislike Hitler. Ever since he came to power — till then, like nearly everyone, I had been deceived into thinking that he did not matter — I have reflected that I would certainly kill him if I could get within reach of him, but that I could feel no personal animosity."

liked hitler is not exactly true, he just found him charismatic, I think saying he liked him is rather misleading
