On the one hand I’m not sure if that’s such good news (I don’t like the PVV, but I do think it’s important that citizens are involved in how the country is governed), and on the other hand I’m not even sure that it’s true. They’re still polling strong.

They won’t rule any more, that’s true, but they’ll make it harder to former a stable government, and still have strong influence on the policy that does get enacted. Compared to e.g. any election before the last one, I see no signs that make me particularly hopeful.

It was as mandatory as the 5% will be now, right?

Sure, there are options, but they’re not terribly different from last time. It’s always possible to get something great, but I don’t see how hopes are particularly higher now than they were e.g. at the last elections.

We have good hopes the next government is gonna get it right.

Wait what? Where do those hopes come from?

It costs nothing* to kiss some ass, it buys the US nothing, and yet it can get Trump (and thus the US) to support you. To do anything else would be irresponsible, TBH.

*Not even your pride, in this case, because everyone can see that Trump is the baby for needing it, and everyone knows you don’t need to mean it.

Oh yeah I’m with you there. I think the project kinda grew beyond its initial goals, and now it’s hard to rename. Made more complex by GSConnect being by an independent developer from the KDE Connect team, I think. But the naming is confusing for sure.

Founder is on Mastodon too: @stefanlindbohm@mastodon.social

Where are you installing KDE Connect? You only need it on your Android phone. On your computer, you only need the GSConnect extension.

Yeah but I don’t think anyone was referring to Israel’s actions as the US doing “preventative bombing”?

So far I don’t think the US strikes specifically on Iran are known to have killed or even wounded anyone, let alone civilians, nor hit hospitals or schools, right?
