Not really. A few of their developers have been redeveloping the menus. They redesigned the settings menu and it looks great. They're redesigning the content db pages and home pages. Some designs have been put out and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw something in the next few versions.

Edit: Changes are pretty close now:

When I upgraded to Plasma 6, I needed to select default theme, upgrade, then re choose my theme. Also upgraded from command line rather than a terminal window.

It's just a shame there was all the allegations of them not honouring refunds. They would have to work very hard for me to even buy one of their products and I was originally quite keen. Pinephone delivered what I ordered. I would have much more trust for them.

I think we should post about both. I'm British and feel free to critique my government and the shitty actions and war crimes we have conducted in the past. Education and awareness is key.

Is it biased for some to focus on China and not others? Absolutely. Is it racist? No. And that really is a dangerous precedent we shouldn't allow. Israel often uses racism (and accusations of antisemitism) to explain criticism on their actions and focus only on their actions. It absolutely not. Criticism of nation states and their actions of important and we shouldn't allow governments to duck scrutiny. Atrocities committed against people of any race, religion or viewpoint are wrong, and we can never be allowed to justify them, or we are simply no better, just biased in a different way.

I have been worried about trends to suppress and delete comments about it (ml) under the guise of racism. I find liberal biases and whining absolutely tiresome, but giving them justifiable ammunition isn't helping to win any arguments.

I appreciate my post my not be received well, but I certainly feel it is important that it us said.

Use communities on lemm.ee which will have both left and right wing folk. Or if you want to avoid left altogether, Lemmy.world communities, and there are lots of them.

Lemm.ee is something we need to nurture. Great admins that try to avoid their personal biases.

"I don’t know how I was supposed to know you’re dyslexic, given that, oddly enough, you’ve spelled every other word correctly. In any case, you’re sitting in front of a computer (or holding one), which would allow you easily to check the spelling, dyslexic or not."

So you expect me to spend hours longer on my posts, to pretend I'm neurotypical because you don't feel neurodiverse people deserve to be imperfect. I think that is not the solution to the problem where folks like you who like to feel superior correcting spelling, is not that everyone should work around and accommodate you. Maybe, just maybe, picking up on errors, rather than the points is more than a little rude, and you need to work on yourself a bit.

"Every other Labour government - in fact, every social democratic government anywhere in the world - has come to power in the face of this kind of rhetoric. Yet, they generally do make a positive difference. Indeed, you must think they do, otherwise you wouldn’t be left wing."

Social democrat isn't left wing, when you're picking and choosing what bits that can be possible under common ownership, it's hard to distinguish from half-hearted liberalism.

"Three sentences, none of them true." Reeves actually said that there would be no increase in NHS funding without economic growth. I think it was a year ago. I'm assuming there has been a u-turn on that now election has kicked off, but just because they change their positions, doesn't mean it isn't true.

Nothing you have said will persuade anyone to vote Labour, and gaslighting people in to believing Labour won't win is simply dishonest.

I think we'll wrap this one up, as you're preaching gospel according to New New Labour and I ain't buying it. I hope you are ok when your unwavering faith in a dishonest man is tested.

I will thank you though. You helped me remember why I avoid political discussion online. It's just folk spouting rhetoric without any interest in what others are saying. It's the biggest waste of time, and it's impact it's miniscule.

As the default as it pays for web development. You can change this to DuckDuckGo in settings and I strongly recommend that you do.

Correcting a dyslexic on spelling. Classy.

I almost vomited reading your reply. Naive if you think he'll make any difference. I'm not sure if you saw the regular backtrack on pledges. If someone keeps going back on their word, they do not have integrity and cannot be trusted. If it ain't in the manifesto, it will not get past the lords. Keir is going to get in power and do very little differently from the Tories. Reeves stated as much in regards to the NHS.

You won't believe me though and when you see it yourself, you'll go through all sorts of logical contortions as if you already knew and expected it. It'll take a long time before you ever ask yourself if you haven't got anything perfectly right.

As for voting for a hung parliament, yes. If liberals or greens or SNP or Plaid have a chance in the seat, ensure that we have a diversity of views in Parliament and Keir cannot ram any poor legislation through leaning on a generous majority.

Labour are polling for an absolute landslide. Any seat moving away from Labour works to that goal as there is no chance in hell of Tories winning.

Not sure when the American presidential logic applied to the UK. Each parliamentary seat makes a difference to the majority.

Do you think Kier is honest and treats those that disagree with him fairly?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (6 children)

I want a hung parliament. If you've seen how Kier treats anyone who disagrees with him in his own party, you'd be wise to not let him have a significant control over the state apparatus. Labour has virtually won. More green and Lib Dem seats would be a great thing.
