  • Yeah that’s basically what I did too.

    I just installed dash to dock and made the icons quite large, then rebound a button on my air-mouse to the super key (to bring up the dash). I also installed Just Perfection and used it to hide the top bar unless the dash is open.

    90% of the time, I’m just using Firefox, so I don’t need anything too fancy.




  • Yup, this is just a replay of early 20th century. Inequality exploded and eventually you had revolutions virtually everywhere (in europe and the west, ar least).

    Some were extreme-left (communism)

    Some were extreme-right (facism)

    Some were far-left for the time (social-democratic, or “new deal” as it’s known in the US)

    Some were violent, some were relatively peaceful.

    But they were basically all inevitable, the people were frustrated and willing to support whatever platform promised something ‘different’.

    We’re at that point currently, but only the far-right is offering anything different, so even though it’s a terrible option, people will gravitate towards it. The solution is to offer genuine vision of change from the left.


  • Similarly to what happened with UKIP, the Tories will just take Reforms policies, bring in new further-right leadership and support will come back.

    Especially after Labour (who just got elected on a fairly bland centrist manifesto) won’t manage to magically fix things in 2-3 years. Conservative media will blame Labour for all the issues (even though most are the fault of the Tories) and Conservative voters will rally around the banner of “Labour out!”.

    Or Reform just eats the Tories, which seems a but less likely to me, but either way the split won’t last.
