I tried it for a while but gave up. It may be possible to get up to the typing speed of a regular keyboard, but it’s main purpose is to be less error prone than a more traditional touchscreen keyboard. Gboard and others use autocorrect to make up for how easy it is to misclick, but that requires large libraries and (in Gboard’s case) telemetry/data collection. Thumb-key’s advantage is it’s simplicity. It doesnt need autocorrect or predictive typing, because the buttons are large and the gestures are well defined and distinct. You should very rarely accidentally type the wrong character once you’re used to it. I never got over that hump, but I’m sure some others have and enjoy typing without looking like we used to be able to do on physical keypads.

Its a continuation of the now deprecated Clementine music player, which was aiming to bring the Foobar2000 UI and plugin functionality to a modern FOSS cross platform state. That’s off the top of my head, but I followed the Foobar->clementine->strawberry pipeline over the years because I like the Milkdrop2.0 visualizer plugin.

Sometimes bi erasure is actually overt

Unfortunately, yes.

Unironically, ironing clothes.

Ask the union leaders in Minneapolis if “no one is doing that.”

Minneapolis is where the George Floyd Uprising started. Go ask those organizers (who are absolutely active today) why “no one is doing that.”

Just because you dont see it, doesn’t mean it doesnt happen. Its not the job of the resistance movement to look like what an outside observer thinks it should look like. Read radical theory and you might recognize the signs of radical resistance.

“Peaceful protest” has very little to do with what I’m talking about. I’m talking about militant resistance, such was what anarchist/communist movements have put into practice for 150+ years, including in the US. It isnt delusional, it’s history.

This is the most harmful rhetoric to a resistance movement that I can imagine. You’re literally saying that people organizing themselves to force radical change have no power or ability to succeed.

Resistance does not look like a witty sign. It looks like community self defence, direct action, union organizing, general strike, and the miriad other methods that have been historically successful against authoritarian and oppressive regimes. These are the methods being used by organizers in Minneapolis today.

And you’re here arguing that The People dont have power.

No, it takes militant direct action. Liberal protests are toothless sign waving performances, but radical protest movements have over 100 years of history showing exactly what methods will force regimes to recognize the power of The People.

Okay but unironically getting organized with your local community and sustained general strike actions will literally bring the nation to it’s knees.

That’s opt-out not opt-in. You have to go to a special address if you don’t want AI.

The United Panther Party is another small modern Panther org. The UPP is mixed and Anarcho-Pantherist in political philosophy.

There was also the White Panther Party back in the 60s-70’s formed mostly of white college kids following the Panther model. Essentially a more explicitly revolutionary alternative to SNCC, which was itself highly influential in the anti-war movement at the time.

These days there are several Panther groups doing smaller scale community self defence and mutual aid across the country, many of them led by second and third generation Black Panthers.

Why do you have a red and black profile background if you dont support an Indigenous peoples armed resistance against their genocidal colonist occupiers?

Our showers are seperated from the bathroom floor by at least a few inches of lip (for lack of a better word) so that water never flows into the rest of the bathroom floor. The drain is only in the shower section, so you can’t spray down the rest of the bathroom with water and have it just drain out.

A drain in the bathroom floor (rather than just the shower floor) allows you to spray water on any of your bathroom walls, appliances, and fixtures for cleaning and it will just drain away as if you were running the shower. We generally can’t do that here in the states.

God I love European style bathrooms. Why can’t we have floor drains in our bathrooms here in the US?

Im the only one in this thread that was agreeing with you. I guess fuck me for expecting a fellow panther to recognize solidarity.

Yea yea electoral politics is the only thing you care about. I’ve heard it before. Militant opposition to fascism doesnt involve voting for the less fascist party once in a blue moon, but that doesnt mean you can assume who I voted for or that I didnt vote.

The US has been a violent occupier in my community since long before Trump and nothing about team blue winning in 2024 would have changed that. A so called “actual leftist” would understand the harms of punching left over fucking electoral politics.
