I only watch US media with Canadian actors. So, I guess most of it.

The third party never forms a government but that does not mean it does not have an impact on national politics. See my other comment.

A three party system is completely different than a two party system even if only two of the parties have ever held a majority.

The NDP has been the official opposition. There are times, as in many minority governments, where the third party has more impact on national policy than the opposition does (via alliances).

As long as you focus on competent administration, the three party system will stay strong. The third party is for bringing policies and ideas to the national stage. Because any time the two most powerful parties are ignoring popular policy, the second party will partner with the third to gang up on the party in power or the party in power will court the third to prevent it. Either way, the third party gets a national voice. And the third party has to focus on popular policy because they do not have enough power to do anything else.

The issue is that politics in Canada is increasingly adopting the team sports US model. Instead of being FOR certain policies or ideas, people are AGAINST somebody else. In that game, you only need two teams.

Trump was elected by a last minute surge of young, male, anti “woke” sexists.

I only bring this up to highlight the absurdity of claiming that Trump somehow represents wealth hoarding boomers. Hardly.

There are plenty of billionaires in red states but the largest percentage of “wealth hoarding boomers” are in the far wealthier blue states. They are not Trump voters. These are all easy facts to confirm.

I was trying to think of the oldest hardware I have run modern Linux on (probably an old Pentium II) when I remembered that I used to run SLS on a 486 (33 MHz, 4 MB of RAM).

Well, Niri is a dynamic and scrolling tiling compositor. So it offers that.

Well, and Niri supports Wayland.

I use Plasma 6 on Wayland on devices as old as 2009 and as new as 2020. Apple laptops to Intel desktops with GPUs from Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA.

Wayland is better than Xorg on every machine I run.
