I don't think it's the content of what he is saying that his supporters are drawn to. Trump has succeeded in positing himself as a victim of the "woke left" and the "establishment". His entire project relies on this vehement opposition. He actually needs the political correctness because his opposition to it is what sustains him. There are theoretical studies of this, like for example Todd McGowan theory of left and right enjoyment. The enjoyment of the right is this enjoyment of transgression, the utterly childish thing of "I am gonna say exactly what you tell me not to say". The more dumb shit he says the more it goes up. This is what some leftists do not get. You'll never defeat Trump by showing that he said something bad and "transgressive ". This is exactly his appeal. The right succeeds in making a weird move. They cast the leftist as the "parent figure" that's out there trying to steal your enjoyment. "You can't say anything anymore these days". Ironically the right is the moralizing position, but they succeeded in casting the left as this moralizing figure and we play right into their hands. The early leftist transgressive "hippy" figure has been replaced, in popular imagination, by the uptight professor telling you what you can and can't say, and you saying it anyway and bonding with the class through that very prohibition.

Is Logseq FOSS ?

Simple Mobile Tools have been forked by one of the maintainers. They have released the Gallery and File Manager so far. Check out their github : https://github.com/FossifyOrg

Anything by Dostoevsky is so "wintery", probably Russian lit in general.

In Huawei at least, you don't have the ability to install a custom ROM. They don't allow you to unlock the bootloader.

FOSS generally puts more pressure on people to write better and safer code, because you know everyone is going to look at it. Even when vulnerabilities are found, they are usually fixed so fast compared to the proprietary side. There are stories of people waiting 6 months for Microsoft to fix a vulnerability, while an Openssh or openssl issue is usually fixed in a few days.

Thank you! I am on Sway but I'll take a look at this. I didn't know there were premade userChrome themes. This is awesome

It seems that you want a Podcast player and an Audiobook player. I use two different apps for that : AntennaPod for podcasts and Voice for Audiobooks. You can use AntennaPod also for Audiobooks, but I like to separate the two.

Yes I did some searching and was confused as to which one is the legit site now. It seems to have changed a couple of times. I don't know if this is run by the same people as getintopc.
