americans use “liberal” to only mean socially liberal, however liberal describes both economic and social philosophies
Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, right to private property and equality before the law.
the goal is to use the same action as you would use in a touch screen:
to scroll content, you “grab” a point on the page and push it up to reveal what’s below it
to scroll a scroll bar, you “grab” the bar and move it down because you’re not moving the content; you’re moving the “%age complete” indicator
it only seems illogical if you’ve not been using natural scrolling. it is, in fact, incredibly intuitive if you haven’t built up muscle memory for the opposite
i don’t think you’re aware that people can use interfaces differently to you
you say whose goal like someone decided one day that this is the only way to do things… i said “the goal” as in the goal of a particular method of scrolling, explaining that there is a logical reasoning behind the UI choice; that it’s not arbitrary
you should pick a hill to die on that’s not something as arbitrary as natural scrolling. there are more important things in life that fighting with people on the internet about scrolling interface preferences
use of the words “sane” and “normal people” suggest that you still don’t understand one of the fundamental tenants of linux: freedom to choose
the implication that people who don’t operate their computer the same as you are insane and abnormal is… well… counter to many of the philosophies that make linux fantastic
I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer....
it’s more correct to say they’re on lemmy than kbin though… they are interacting through lemmy: kbin is literally irrelevant to them
… and that’s kinda the point of the fediverse isn’t it? you shouldn’t care where something is stored, and if you don’t care where it’s stored then you have only 1 way to refer to the space: the client by which you’re viewing it
people referring to it as “lemmy” or “kbin” or “mastodon” is the fediverse working as intended, and that’s good news!
(it’s also much better marketing for us! people search fediverse and they get a bunch of random descriptions about what it is… people search lemmy/kbin and at least they have a join button)
President Biden said he won’t expand the Supreme Court because doing so would “politicize” the court in an unhealthy way. But it’s a political institution by its nature — and a disturbingly undemocratic one.
not an american, so i have no real… uh… i was gonna say skin in the game but tbh the whole western world has skin in the game… regardless:
if that were to happen i’d say it’d get to a point where the number of justices deadlocks the court, and either makes it entirely symbolic or there’s a bipartisan agreement that something needs to be fixed and that’s how you get systemic change
