Turns out life doesn’t just imitate art
— sometimes it borrows the script, reboots it with National Guard checkpoints and streams it live from Los Angeles.

The following rant is an exercise to the reader.
I can no longer save files in Element Desktop since the last upgrade due to smth smth Flatpak / desktop portal / ... cannot access anything policy bla. I get the idea that access to everything is bad, bad access to nothing is useless.

This is absolutely the right messaging.
Obama made a deal that everyone was following until Trump killed it. It is 100% Trump’s fault that we now have a de facto war with Iran and that it is undeniably an illegal war by any interpretation of international law.
