  • While that’s true I don’t think Bernie is trying to say every district, he’s disagreeing with the broader notion from entrenched Democrats that these are outliers that can’t be replicated and that the Democratic party needs to stay moderate (neoliberal) to win. The article lists a couple more races where we could see this pattern of more progressive candidates winning continue

    Other progressive victories victories could be on the horizon in Maine, where Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has had a double-digit lead over Gov. Janet Mills in polls ahead of the June primary and raised three times as much as Mills and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) combined in small donations in the final quarter of 2025; and North Carolina, where Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam is challenging Rep. Valerie Foushee for a second time after losing a close race in 2022.

    (Nida Allam is up for vote where I am I believe. While Foushee hasn’t been a bad representative I’m excited to do more research on Allam and think I may be voting for her :)





  • If you’re knowledgable about CSS you could use the Stylish extension to customize websites, but given frutiger aero’s aesthetic, you’d probably have to add a bunch of images for ui elements, so I wouldn’t neccisarily expect it to be easy

    Short of customizing stuff yourself, I think thats a really niche styling to be looking for, for already niche platforms. If you wanna check for other people’s CSS creations you can go to the userstyles.world site, or the older and I think now defunct userstyles.org, and search for mastodon, or any other sites you wanna check out themes for. There may not be many, customizing your websites with CSS stylesheets isn’t exactly a huge hobby, so the most themes are available for sites everyone uses (YouTube, Wikipedia, google, etc.). Any themes there you find could be used with the stylish extension, though it may require some extra work from the older site

    As someone else who enjoys the y2k retro aesthetic, I hope you find something you enjoy :)

    I didn’t mean for everything, I meant if crypto could ever fix its shit it could be a useful tool for folks affected by the issues with payment processors

    But it would have to be stable in value, not suck for making transactions, and not be wildly wasteful

    Does anyone know I’d proof of stake ended up being better than proof of work? I dont follow crypto but kept hearing that was supposed to improve things

    Crypto is a big deal because it enables grifting and crime, but with how shit payment processors are and their tendency to use their position for censorship, crypto actually would be a potential way of solving that problem IF it werent ludicrously volatile and wasteful. But I have no idea if those problems could really ever be solved, or any progress has been made on those fronts



  • What does the install script set up for you? I’d be trying to install gnome and get audio working. Last time I tried I got networking set up even though the ncurses installer couldn’t handle setting it up for me, and I got gnome installed, but wasn’t able to get audio working when I gave up and installed fedora cause I wanted a working computer (I broke my old laptop and was learning on the replacement, so I kinda just wanted it up and running)
