I am beyond excited, I expect it to be my next fulltime DE. I like aspects of the GNOME workflow but I don't like how opinionated it is and how adding extensions or swapping out modules carries a risk with it. you've actually reminded me that I want to install Pop and try out the work in progress COSMIC to see how far along it is.

 

I took Plasma's Wayland session for a spin a few months back but it had too many small annoyances for me to daily drive so I switched back to X11. However, now I started noticing horrible screen tearing in Flatpak applications and lo and behold, as soon as I switched to Wayland they disappeared. It's really frustrating because most of not all of the little annoyances persist, I had to look up how to run Yakuake under X11 so it wouldn't just appear in the middle of my screen for example, but I'd rather deal with them than with screen tearing so I guess this is my life now.

I just wanted to get out my frustrations and also find out if anyone else has had problems. It seems to me Wayland is far from ready for prime time on Plasma.

 

The cities where I live where obviously designed for cars, are there any proposals on how to transition cities built to favour cars over to other forms of transportation or examples of cities that have done so? I know it's probably possible but my imagination is limited.

 

I've tried installing libinput-gestures-qt, set gestures to plasma default, set the daemon to autostart and restarted the system and three finger swipes do absolutely nothing. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

In fact, Rosa Luxemburg made another great point here. Marxism should be treated as a living thing, at its best when it is interacting with the world, but all of the meaningful interactions of the past forty years have been Maoist actions. Marxism-Leninism and the respective, remaining ‘Marxist-Leninist’ organizations and parties have been caught-on-the-back foot, or docile, or lacking in direction, with few consequential actions taken, at best, and useless, irrelevant, if not outright misguided or wrong in many parts of the world at worst.

Marxism-Leninsm-Maoism has yet to produce a successful revolution, unless you are counting Nepal which I know you hate to talk about so let's discard it. How can you look at what Marxist-Leninist countries have done over the past fifty years and say that Marxism-Leninism has not advanced? It has advanced greatly, but you just dismiss these advances as "revisionism".

The evidence for the Marxist-Leninist position becoming increasingly correct is a few reddit posts and one excellent Roderic Day article. Lol. A lot of my pro-China comrades hate Duterte and support Maoist revolutions in India and the Philippines, as do I, not even Joma hates China as much as online Maoists do.

This chasing of ideological purity and discarding real-world information is undialectical.

Lmao, he had no response to that fancy shoes comment, just up and ended the interview. The bourgeois press never sends their best.
