As the link in the post body explains you may direct your complaints to https://old.reddit.com/user/HEPS_08 of the r/stalker subreddit, although I'm sure they have heard about it in these past four years.

I'm gonna be real with you, I don't know who or what that is and I deliberately chose to ignore the likely sarcasm, but feel free to enlighten me.

Like I agree it is a better message in the edit, but I fear a lot of people are not ready to hear that yet and still need to work through the original before coming around to this... Still stuck in denial and whatnot.

You can change the zone size by dragging the border with the mouse while you are in the editing mode.

Edit: so drag to 1/3 and 2/3 roughly, split the bigger field again.

So.. "man doesn't exploit man"? Sounds good!

I see you figured it out. Will add an explanation to my post as well, if you hadn't deleted your reply I would have answered that instead. :)

What we see here coming from the monarchy is not a meaningful gesture of alliance. That’s what I’m bitter about.

They aren't allowed to make any meaningful gesture of alliance, that was my entire point. There have literally been wars fought specifically to take these responsibilities away from them. The ball is in the parliaments court now.

What does the word ‘Commonwealth’ even mean if the British monarchy can’t say that and mean it.

A loose collection of anglophone colonies and their motherland. Its importance declined along with the power of the British monarchy. Which didn't really bother anyone so far because there were things like the five eyes and NATO to fill the gap.

You have to hold the Shift key while moving a window for it to snap into the tiles you set up. If you just move them normally they have a different snapping behaviour like what you described.

Edit: So as the deleted reply was probably asking, this is how it works in full. If you have the KDE Plasma desktop environment after a certain version (I wanna say 5.6-ish?) you can do the following:

1. Press Windows+T, or as we Linux nerds like to call it Meta+T, to configure your "tiling zones" on your monitors.
2. Hold Shift+LeftClick on the title bar of a window to move them into the "tiling zones" you set up.

Discoverability on this sucks (as much of the Plasma desktop does) but it's a pretty cool feature.

Well if by they you mean the monarchy, I think symbolic actions are about all they have been relegated to do at this point in history, and they seem to be crushing that:

In the royal tradition, a sword like this is seen as a symbol of sovereignty. The Senate originally commissioned the sword to the[!] mark the change of reign from Elizabeth to Charles.

They are telling you that you are on your own and better look for reliable alliances fast.

As far as my limited understanding of Commonwealth and UK politics goes the monarch does actually have some pretty extensive rights, but they come along with a damn near 100% chance of a constitutional crisis if enacted.

So if you are looking for something more material I believe the executive and legislative branches of the respective governments are your tree to bark up at. The monarchy seems to be doing all they can in this particular instance.

Which is not much, in that we agree, but symbols are not worthless either. There is a reason every monarchy, religion, and ideology has used them throughout history.

Do you happen to have a link about public data?

Not really, although I'm quite sure people have wrote about if you care to search. The "Fediverse" communities on many instances would be a place to ask. The underlying protocol is called ActivityPub, which would already give an insight into what is available to the broader network (which includes Mastodon and other services), but if you want to get down to it you can spin up a Lemmy instance and see what you get.

Votes specifically are even publicly visible on some Lemmy frontends, like Piefed and Mbin I think.

I'm just saying consider anything you post on Lemmy specifically or on the broader Fediverse in general part of the public record, for better or for worse.

P.S.: including DMs, they aren't encrypted.
