Yeah, I mean that’s just how it goes with Windows/Mac(Ubuntu seems to be trying lol), they want you integrated into all their services.

For my part, I used aerotweaker on my win 11 machine to disable most of that junk.

I can absolutely see how that is annoying, but it’s not impossible to disable with a little tweaking.

It doesn’t break things like other overlays in my experience, but it also doesn’t provide anything I want.

There’s more of them that are willing to sway then you might think, as a lot of progressive policy ideas poll well with the majority of the population, it’s just that they buy into the bullshit they hear in media and such.

Personally, I don’t need Bernie and Tim to explain their position to me, I know and agree on their positions already in a majority of cases, the reason a lot of dems didn’t show up for Harris is because her policies were essentially continue the status quo which is not what Americans, we want large scale change, Trump is a large scale change president, just not in the way the majority of republicans think/actually wanted.

Barring the owner class, who are getting exactly what they wanted, but that is a small portion of republicans.

Edit: There’s also the aspect of the perception of just “being a person you could chill with” that mainstream dems have been notoriously bad about. Meanwhile trump and co go on joe rogan and all the other brocasts and come off looking “normal.”

Edit2: I was actually really excited For Walz when he was initially picked, and he was doing well but at a point it seems like a muzzle was thrown on him.

Not interested in a McKinsey stooge, and he was ineffective at best as secretary of transportation.

So here’s the important bit, I know where you’re coming from on this as dems have been courting the right by watering down their policies in an attempt to appeal to them. That’s not what Walz is doing, much like Bernie, he’s preaching the progressive ideals to the right to try and show them how and why it would actually benefit them, along with attempting to dispel republican lies.

Also apologies on the tone of the original comment, I didn’t have enough time to explain and was just irritated.

That’s absolutely not what he’s doing jfc

It’s so sad, I remember hearing him talk pre-stroke and he really did seem to be a progressive ally in most ways, to see how it’s turned out… Ugh.

No, the roadster was really cool, the S was neat too, then the 3 being at a relatively good price point really pushed the market toward EVs in general. I am glad for that at least.

They were doge staffers, wouldn’t they already be loyalists? Edit: nvm, down the thread explanations that it was a department already that got converted to doge

It reminds me of how blizzard shot themselves in the foot on this front in regards to custom games back on SC and wc3
