Hey @Vivaldi -- there's a bug where if I have a progressive app set up but I also have a page from the same site open in the browser and I shift-click to open it in a new tab, the browser and all progressive app windows lock up and Vivaldi crashes.
Is there a proper place to report this?
@RichardJMurphy This agrees with my (b.1965) observations: they're feeling betrayed because the system which originally worked well for them and promised a better future is no longer doing so.
...but of course that's not because the system itself went bad, but because opposing ideologies have been systematically dismantling it.
The result is they're voting against the system that they liked and which was taken from them, and they're voting for the arseholes who took it.
The underlying question for me, then, is: why are they so absurdly gullible?
@rnd Me neither*, at least not formally. I should be out of shape, and I don't understand why I'm not.
*...unless lifting heavy grocery bags several times a week counts, I guess...
@clarfonthey Sometimes I feel frustratingly normal in this regard.
That said... there have been times when a character just pops out, usually with an accent of some sort (often British, more often US southern)... but they're not really me, as such, just me using that character as a way of viewing or describing something.
Maybe that's plurality of a sort, but with the time-slices being disproportionately allocated to the "primary"?
As you said: brains. Cain't dew nuthin withem.

...but also (on thinking further) on building systems to make it easier for indy artists to be heard/seen and bring in revenue.
(That's actually a pretty old hobby-horse I haven't ridden in awhile, mainly because of all the other nonsense going on. Yes, I have ideas.)
...but being sure to bring with them full documentation of what happened in this timeline, so we can learn from it without being culturally traumatized by the horrors.

@douginamug That's the "ignorance" factor at work, yeah -- it would exist without any encouragement, but it's pretty well-documented that there are agencies hard at work encouraging it wherever they can.
@douginamug My take is that most of it is induced rage coming from fossil industry propaganda.
Perhaps the industry decided to pick on one thing at a time, to focus the ignorance available (much more limited in the EU than here in the US, where we are clearly the greatest at ignorance) on a single target -- or maybe as an experiment to see which one got more traction, so they could repeat that success in other countries.
@flamingspork My first thought was "panorama mode!" (on a smartphone) -- but I suspect your technique gets better results :D
@rnd I think I'd say that a good rule for empathy would be something like "default to helping, but don't let betrayal go unnoticed".

@pseudonym @cwebber Ehh, I've always lived for -- had to live for -- the future, because I've never really found much enjoyment in the "now".
@cwebber P.S. I could make a smol list of things that, to me, look better now than they were when I was growing up in the 1970s/1980s.
@JoBlakely Lois is Very Good.
(I'm a particular fan of the Vorkosigan series, which is mainly about a disabled white male in a very militaristic culture, but has lots of really good female characters -- including some who take front and center in individual stories -- and kind-of-starts with a pair of stories about the main series' protagonist's mom. ...and there's also a 200-years-earlier prequel about using engineering to break away from corporate despotism...)
@cwebber I'm disinclined to agree with this prediction, though we are clearly in for a hell of a ride before things start getting better.
