Conservative ideology of maybe twenty years ago would likely have a lot better chance at meaningful discussion as opposed to right now. At this time, the political right in the US have thrown full-throated support for policies that many people (rightfully) feel are abhorrent.

For less repugnant topics, say, fiscal responsibility, that one is also a tough one to talk about seeing as the right is trying to gut every social program they can think of while doing all they can to cut taxes for the rich.

I know there are sane conservatives out there, but until that party steers their ship away from bigotry, hatred, and destroying the middle and lower class, you'll probably not find a lot of discussion. Which is a shame because I think we do need two strong parties with differing viewpoints, but when the other viewpoint is rampant discrimination and further enriching the wealthy.

That was a damn fine rant that I wish a lot more people would see. Thank you for speaking your mind about it and...whatever it's worth, I'm sorry you have to try an exist alongside these knuckle-dragging hate-mongers.

Good luck to everyone affected. Please stay safe.

It's there with a long press. I missed it too at first.

That's the one. May your day be brighter with more kittens while doomscrolling the news.

I had a similar one but for the former president. I still have it installed and it always confuses me for a second until I remember it.

Trance/House bedroom DJ here. I was never apart of any of the communities over on reddit because I've found if you really love something, don't join any fan sites for it. People usually get annoyingly negative about something they supposedly love.

But, if a new community that was DJ based popped up on Lemmy, I'm pretty sure I'd join it.

I've recently become obsessed with the Italian power metal band Ancient Bards. They have four albums out and a new one in the works. There hasn't been any real updates in awhile, but hopefully it's still planned to release this year.

I've been testing out other search engines and have currently landed on Brave Search. Every single time you search, there's a big block of threads from reddit near the top of the search results. It's not been easy to stay away.

Every time news about Vanilla comes out I get more and more excited. With immutable OSs starting to gain traction, they all feel a bit samey. Vanilla seems like a totally different beast. It feels new and exciting; something that's really shaking up the Linux space.

Admittedly, I'm not the most technically savvy about these kinds of things so I might be wrong.

Regardless, I'll keep watching with great interest.

Spamming and being annoying won't really help anything. If anything it could push people away. I'd suggest being a bit more tactful about where you try and help push more people here.

Since there's just the two of us right now, my wife and I are playing a co-op Ironsworn. It's been pretty fun but a bit tough at times since you have to think up your own story. The oracles help, but sometimes we get stuck.

We're pretty new to it all so we just chalk it up to inexperience. I'm sure it'll get better.
