The Quuuuuill

Sure. And I voted for warren. My point isn’t “The DNC needs to get their heads out of their asses and make Bernie their nominee” my point is “The DNC needs to get their heads our of their asses and realize their current overall strategy is a losing one”

Then what the fuck is a primary and how do they decide to back in a primary and what the fuck is a super delegate?

Still. The DNC has systems in place to decide who to back in elections to pass legislation. Their messaging since 2015 has been embarrassing. They keep courting moderate conservatives that don’t exist and ignoring unrepresented potential voters who do. They talk about how they win elections when there’s good turn out without ever analyzing which candidates encourage high turnout. Americans want to feel represented in politics and we don’t. The Democrats need to do something that would weaken the democrat party but would weaken the Republican party more: they need to actively begin dismantling the two party system. We want election reform. We want the police to not be a hostile force against the general populace. We want the society we live in to benefit everyone and not just the kinds of people who can afford to finance an election campaign.

The polling exists. We all know that neither party represents or enacts what the people want do. The Democrats refuse to look around and see what’s happening, preferring to rearrange the deck chairs as the ship sinks because that’s the only thing they know to do. And you know? I can’t really blame them. We the people have also been rearranging the deck chairs. We live in a country that only benefits the top but we all still show up to do our duties without looking at what’s going on in other countries where the people are standing up to their authoritarian oppressors.

The worst part is the fascists know what they’re doing. They know to decay the structure by raising the temperature because we’ve become too complacent. We need to stand up to fascism in a way that we haven’t ever since McArthyism.

The dumbass bought a thing that the strongest and most valuable thing it had to offer was brand recognition and immediately eliminated the branding.

No for sure. But people were treating it like it might be legitimate

I find no reputable sources reporting his death

It would benefit a social cause that is near and dear to his heart: making Mark Zuckerberg extremely wealthy

The meme is flexible. Your attitude is not

Gnome 2 was great and I wish MATE got more attention

Thank you!

I’ve been in a Tesla where the hazards are in a touchscreen. It made me wildly uncomfortable

I’ve seen that claim a couple of places and would like a source. It very well may be since Microsoft prefers Debian based systems for WSL and for azure, but its not something I would have assumed by default

I was literally compiling this library a few nights ago and didn’t catch shit. We caught this one but I’m sure there’s a bunch of “bugs” we’ve squashes over the years long after they were introduced that were working just as intended like this one.

The real scary thing to me is the notion this was state sponsored and how many things like this might be hanging out in proprietary software for years on end.

Seen by who? I’d never even heard of them and I’ve been on mastodon for ages

Applause to them, even if that’s all they’re doing. For personal computing you can basically always count on Pop!_os to work no matter your hardware configuration (within reason, 32-bit machines aren’t really something you need to consider anymore)

Our pizza man doesn’t call or ring the doorbell. He sends a text and if you’re not down there in like 15 seconds he is GONE

Brother, you just described why I bought a toner based printer. The ink is cheap AF, doesn’t dry out, doesn’t require frequent test pages, doesn’t brick if I disable the ink subscription because I don’t print that much, the drivers are all released GPL by the printer company, and it can just sit on a shelf I wasn’t using anyway. I haven’t looked at it in weeks and as an added bonus I dropped the print contrast to increase the longevity of the toner cartridge.

Pop!_os ships with specific kernel tweaks to make it play nicer with GPUs

I work remote. About once a month I have to print a shipping label or something for drop off. Having a printer in the house greatly increases turn about on that and important papers

Driving 30 minutes into town every time I have to print something isn’t worth it
