Neon has 2 flavors, developer and user. The user one is stable.


Sorry for the late reply. Earlier this year, I tried KDE Neon User Edition. It offers updates everytime any KDE software you've installed gets an official update, meaning you're shown updates practically everyday. That isn't stable. Again, the website copy undersells this, saying it "Featuring the latest officially released KDE software on a stable base (emphasis mine)."

I love neon, so it is a tie.


Then talk to your local politician


For some people, everyone else is nazi.


This is a thought terminating cliche, ironically about a thought terminating cliche. X does have a problem with actual, literal, antisemitic, genocidal Nazis. No funny business or stretched definitions. Nazis. Dismissing it just because of a few people going by the Nazi bar analogy risks normalizing the actual fucking Nazis we're dealing with. "Oh everyone's a Nazi to you people" is a crazy thing to say when the individual under discussion is screaming about globalist cabals of bankers ushering in white erasure. And that is who is getting algorithmically elevated on X.

Also plenty of racists and homophobes, more than I see just about anywhere else on the internet. And more wild, rabid hate surrounding trans people than I see anywhere outside of narrow, festering cesspools in wastelands like 4chan.


I believe you that there are literal Nazis on X, just as there are on every social media platform (and society in general). I despise Nazis but again I literally never see them on my feed so I find it hard to believe that this is a major problem or that the platform is boosting that content. If you're seeing a lot of Nazi content then you're probably following the wrong type of accounts.


No, in fact I block every such account I see. I go on Twitter for inspiration of various kinds, not for doomscrolling, although I recognize that that's in vogue. But the owner of the platform has been demonstrated to artificially push posts and accounts into people's timelines and notifications, particularly his own, and he has retweeted, replied to, and otherwise boosted blatantly antisemitic conspiracy theories. It's pretty well documented as something that does actually happen, and not just as some sort of algorithmic quirk.


Was 18F working?


Yes


Aside from all the actual success stories with products they rolled out, they'd built comprehensive guides for software procurement that were making every part of the government more efficient -- and then the ~arsonists~ experts at DOGE came through and deleted all of that work because some 'move fast and break things' toadies decided they didn't want to spend so much time on planning and they'd rather just build baby build.

The guides have been archived on the "18F in exile" site for continued reliable public access [0][1]

Who is going to fight the revolution?


choco needs admin rights, something corporate minions, as me, does not always have.

scoop works always as user.


That article is 12 years old. In those days he had hope for a Half Life 3.


This fork is useful as a zero user value auto filter for zed.


In the old days using 301 permanent redirect to carry the mojo to the new domain was SEO 101.

I don't know these days ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
