My comment was literally about trying to find common ground with people I disagree with. I’m not a moderate Dem.
It’s impossible to have a discussion when nearly every comment is just aggressively dooming about things that aren’t even happening.
This place sucks for political discussion. We finally have a substantial Dem majority and all these people want to do is whine and complain about it instead of finding common ground with the huge number of moderate Dems we just elected.
Lemmy is 90% basement dwellers who have lost touch with reality at this point. If you suggest any kind of realism, or god forbid optimism, they’ll lay you out for it.
So two guys who are very much not “symbolically” Democrats. Idk how you guys take these comments seriously, they’re so over the top ridiculous.
ATI got bought out by AMD a long time ago.
The 9070 XT was like $300 cheaper than the 5070 Ti for a pretty long time
Most of the new Dems are conservative to moderate and won’t go along with “yolo” stuff. The progressives may call for it but they aren’t anywhere close to a majority of the party yet.
You’re not going to see people like Adam Hamilton or Mary Peltola advocating for socialist policies. But you might see them advocating for workers and their families since many of the new Dems ran on that platform and are actually pretty pro labor. They’re moderate on social issues but aren’t from the same corpo wing of the party like Schumer and Jeffries.
People on Reddit/Lemmy will bitch and moan but there’s a chance the moderates will actually do some good things. People voted for change and they know it. But either way it’s our job to hold them accountantable, not just whine about it on social media.
Lemmy is a gigantic bubble for sure. I’m very progressive but this place is even more delusional and hyperagressive than reddit is.
Lots of the new Dems are from deep red states and they’re not going to support “far left” legislation. There’s still plenty of common ground on economic issues to make things better though. And they all want to hold the admin accountable.
Many of the new Dems are pro-labor moderates so they aren’t from the brand of corpo shit bags people here like to dunk on. I don’t see the need for this incessant negativity yet.
I mean Trump can veto anything they pass, so it’s not like your first few points matter either. If they pass a bunch of bills that would help the economy and Trump vetos them, that makes the GOP look even worse than they already do. I’d rather they do that than impeach him at this point. We all know he’s a corrupt piece of shit but we also know impeachment is a waste of time because the cult will keep backing him.
It’s the same for Kansas, Ohio, Alaska, NH, Iowa, and a bunch of house seats as well. In fact most of the new gains are in red districts from moderate to conservative Democrats.
I’m a progressive but the article is bullshit. And Reddit/Lemmy progressives are starting to annoy me by burying their head in the and/or aggressively insulting people who point out reality.
We’ve made some good gains but people are acting like we took over the party and that’s not even close to true.
The vast majority of the GOP losers already conceded, what are you talking about?
Don’t forget Indian pizza. They put all kinds of flavors on that shit, and it’s good too.
Yes it is pizza. You aren’t the dictator of words and we aren’t going to stop calling it pizza.
The point is that you don’t have a monopoly on defining what food is it isn’t “real” pizza, and old world cuisine very frequently isn’t actually as old as they claim it be. In many cases “new world” food has an even longer history than old world food, especially in South and Central America
So maybe stop acting like it’s some ancient cuisine that people are disrespecting because they use it in a different way. That was the point of the comment
You wouldn’t run a website because a website doesn’t have the capabilities of a desktop app. No one wants to run VS code from their browser. People don’t even want to run outlook or teams from their browser. A desktop app results in far superior UX in most cases for tools that people need to use frequently.
Electron allows you to use existing webdev teams to build apps for basically every platform in existence, which is exactly why companies use it.
Alternative platforms exist but not every company has the right people to build on top of them and it’s difficult to argue against the cost savings of using electron.
It’s not really that complicated. Many of these apps simply wouldn’t exist on Linux or Mac if it weren’t for electron or similar frameworks. Companies might build a website (if it makes sense) and a Windows app and that’s it, depending on the target audience
And yes, you might get vibe bloat in the framework code but that isn’t an argument against electron, since literally any framework could be and probably is infected with AI bloat at this point.
Electron isn’t a problem when it’s used well, eg VS Code. At least you know what you’re getting.
You have no idea what the code is doing is when some numbnut vibe codes it without a thorough review.
So what? All pedos should be charged. Just because you’re willing to defend pedophile rapists like Trump doesn’t mean the rest of us are like you. We actually have principles.
Ridiculous answer. So “the media” wrote the constitution and invented the concept of a presidential system now?
Lemmy started off more mature and feminist than reddit but it’s become an equivalent shithole over time.
I may just unplug from social media for a long time at this point.
The comments above aren’t talking about their job titles.
Jeffries and Schumer are corpo Dems but that doesn’t make them only “symbolically” Democrats. It does not put them on the same level as Fetterman and Stevens. That’s just conspiracy theory nonsense.
