Florida did not move left as much as the rest of the country. Again, this means, setting aside this one election, that Florida over the long term is continuing to become more conservative over time.

Shifting the goal posts still doesn’t make you right.

At this point, you’re just arguing with established facts, and you’re clearly trolling.

It made it possible, it didn’t solve the “pain in the ass“ part

If I was gonna go that route, I would start by trying to switch my entire stack over to podman in the first place. But I don’t even know if that’s possible.

As I said, I’m happy with my current set up

It’s not that I can’t run Docker or Plex, it’s just that doing so on any immutable distro is a pain in the ass compared to the relatively simple set up on a standard distro.

I’m fine with standard Fedora WS.

Since I run both Docker and Plex Media Server, atomic spins aren’t really a good option for me. The way they interact with certain system files is pretty much incompatible with an immutable distro. The number of workarounds that I would have to employ in order to get it all to work would be a gigantic headache and would pretty much undo any advantage I would gain.

Also, I really don’t like cosmic desktop. I used to use PopOS, and I was very excited for it, but when they switched to it, it just really wasn’t ready, and I still don’t think it’s ready yet. Plus it offers no framework for extensions or plug-ins yet. I far prefer GNOME, and GNOME 51 got some massive performance improvements. Plus, it looks almost exactly like macOS, which I really like.

And his hair just looks like a little pissy raincloud that follows him around everywhere

Fucking AGAIN‽

New? Exciting? That’s not the fedora experience. Fedora is boring and stable. And that’s the whole point of it. It’s extremely well designed and extremely well-made and it just works. It’s not trying to impress anyone with some flashy new feature that might make the system unstable or unreliable in anyway, and it’s not trying to make some flashy changes to the interface that people have to constantly adjust to.

Nope. Stable, reliable, and boring that’s what I love about it. Lol.

I’ve got it installed on my 2011 iMac that use as a plex server. Runs great.

Gnome 51 certainly came with some performance improvements that were very noticeable on my very very old server, but others might not have noticed on a more modern machine.

You are factually incorrect. and it’s not just Florida that made a massive shift to the left… It’s pretty much the entire country.

FYI, the original source for that graphic was the AP, a very reliable source

Womps and prayers, ya toolbox

I suppose it’s the difference between “running the country“ and “running the country into the ground“

I think I explained pretty clearly how the politics of states like Florida are anything but permanent and shouldn’t be taken for granted as such

Before they get the chance to replace Thomas and/or Alito, their first priority with SCOTUS should be to expand the court to 13 seats and then fill those vacancies

this also means no new Trumpy Supreme Court justices

I lived in Orlando from 01-07, and it was a pretty cool place. artsy with a good night life and LGBTQ scene. I moved back from NYC a couple of years ago, and wow is this place dead. Ron Desantis and his particular brand of Trumpism has had a huge impact on the culture of the city.

Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville Tallahassee… All of these are big blue cities (each has a major university— except Tampa). It’s the rest of the state that’s the problem.

It’s a little more complicated than that. It’s not just a matter of net gains and losses of seats, it also is important to consider which races were one by Democrats. They were all in very important districts in the states. Not to mention that the losses were within a hair. They were all extremely close, not something we had in 2024. It’s a very strong indicator that the entire country is swinging back to the left.

Take Florida for example: Democrats lost both the governor’s race and the Senators race, but they were very very very very close. The last time those seats were up for election, there was a pretty big gap between Democrats and Republicans. Not so much anymore. Plus, in Florida, we picked up three Democratic house seats, two of which were in gerrymandered districts, yet Dems won anyway.

I remember the last time Florida was a blue state… It was a much better place to live. And although we have a GOP governor and senators, the rest of the state is definitely shifting back to the left. A lot. 2028 will be extremely interesting indeed.

You ain’t just whistlin’ Dixie.

Trump 2.0 was so much worse than Trump 1.0 because this time around he surrounded himself by a cadre of sycophant enablers. Going after all of them will be easy, Pickens, and it’s not as if they don’t all belong in jail, too. Especially that Pete Hegseth motherfucker. I’m perfectly happy for Congress to impeach his ass. and then, of course, prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law.

Lol, that too

Well, I think it’s a matter of legislative priorities: do the Democrats want to blow their wad using their control of Congress to try to get Trump impeached and then removed? It would be a monumental effort with little chance of meaningful success.

Most Democrats believe it would be a much better expenditure of resources, instead, blow that wad dragging literally everyone else in the Trump administration before an investigative committee and possibly impeaching and prosecuting them instead. There is so very much to go after all of them for, that it would be a real waste of time and effort to let everyone else go just so they could go after Trump and probably not succeed in getting him removed.

Not to mention that it would be far easier to prosecute and possibly jail Trump after he is out of office.
