Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a third-party email program with functioning gesture support. Trying to switch to Linux before Windows 10 is deprecated myself, but since my grandma uses a Surface Pro in tablet mode, I opted to just install an older version of the Mail and Calendar program on Windows to remove the redirect-to-outlook component, with Microsoft Store auto-updates disabled.

While I agree entirely that they're not free per-se, if it weren't for them, there would be nearly nothing to post for anyone who doesn't want to use the Epic Games Store.

Lemmy communities are already at a disadvantage to subreddits in terms of attracting and retaining users, so I don't think fracturing communities further than they already are across instances is beneficial.

While I admittedly haven't tried using Arctic's regex filtering options yet, if other Lemmy clients have similar functionality, I would imagine a filter for any post that includes "[Prime/" or "[Prime]" in the title would automatically hide the posts without the need for community fragmentation.

A functional voting system that allowed for the success of third parties in the United States would be great. Unfortunately, without ranked choice voting, voting for a third party candidate just means splitting the vote for one's next-preferred candidate. The most recent example of this would be George H. W. Bush's re-election loss in 1992, due in part to Ross Perot's popularity as a third-party candidate.

As things stand, the pragmatic choice is therefore to vote for the lesser of two evils. While I'd vote for a third-party candidate in a heartbeat if they had a realistic chance of winning, when the choice is a isolationist, corrupt, bigoted felon or anyone else, the easy choice is anyone else.

They complain about jobs being industrial decline due to the outsourcing of manufacturing jobs, but then blame inflation on efforts to increase the minimum wage to a living wage, rather than corporate profit-gouging.

While many of them might not mind living in a country with a class of underpaid manufacturing workers—presumedly the undocumented immigrants they simultaneously want to deport—the better option is to invest in economic development that bolsters the country's modern service economy, or specialized manufacturing facilities that can compete without needing ineffective tariffs.

And when Trump implements those tariffs, rather than recognizing their role in inevitable price increases, those same people will instead blame underpaid workers, inevitable counter-tariffs, or anyone else but Trump.

They also won't recognize that any economic growth in the next four years won't benefit them in the slightest, but rather go straight into the pockets of those responsible for outsourcing jobs in the first place. All the while supporting them, with anyone else just needing to 'pull themselves up' with imaginary bootstraps.

Was confused why the link hadn't embedded properly; fixed the post, thanks!

An odd way to state that African Americans have disproportionately high amounts of medical debt; if anything, it's an indicator of unequal access to economic opportunities that let people afford expensive medical treatments.

Therefore, rather than shifting the narrative into one of handouts, a better solution would be to make progress on reducing the country's inflated medical costs—the result of capitalism being applied to the inelastic demand for essential medical services.

For many Palestinian civilians, 'all hell' and more has already broken out.

Stremio comes with a few addons for content navigation by default, but to actually watch most things within Stremio itself, the unofficial Torrentio addon is needed. There's other content addons too, but Torrentio seems to work the best.

Torrentio itself needs a debrid service API key to function, with Real-Debrid being the cheapest at about $3 a month.

Stopping people from demeaning people on account of their sexual orientation or gender identity isn't censorship, it's ensuring the platform is sufficiently inclusive for everyone to feel safe participating in the first place.

While I don't personally encourage the use of Facebook on account of its data profiteering, anyone who doesn't mind that shouldn't be subjected to harassment by bigots, regardless of how many such bigots get elected to Congress in any given year.
