The value of holding av real primary. Sadly that boat sailed. Having delegates hand pick a candidate without any voter input opens the process to undue influence from party politics.

Kamala was at least chosen by the people as a VP. Can’t say the same for most of the randos throwing their hat in

Ages ago someone wrote a bash script that would calculate your “stallman score”, essentially checking the license of every package in your system.

To nitpick, Win10 looks like KDE :). Kde has been pretty consistent for a while

He knows Trump will win, it’s a safe bet to win some favor.

Unfortunately this financing requires a populace widely adopting cryptocurrency…making it a pipe dream for mainstream use.

Tips are generally a bad model as well, which creates an incentive for rapid and pandering work (like ad supported content).

Patreon had frankly built all of YouTube that is worth watching. I think a simple payment system using real banks can be integrated into smaller hosting services.

It’s all academic though, YouTube is unrivaled in ad revenue and helping you expand an audience.

It’s concerning how this pseudoscience is getting so much traction, and we’ll be left with a bunch of nonsensical privacy regulation. Granted I’m happy to err towards too much privacy regulation, but can imagine other privacy issues getting less traction.

It probably wont happen in the US, but i really hope enough countries crack down on PFAs to have some reliable sources of safe everyday products

I don’t disagree with any of this, but in this particular instance i do think it’s simply a reflection of reality. Biden’s whole strategy is win over dummy undecideds who can’t tell him and Trump apart, rather than excite his base for a good turnout.

Fact is that strategy requires charisma, not brains. Biden’s running a strategy on his weakness. It’s doomed, which is impressive since Trump is so widely hated. Literally any other dem in there party is a better choice, save Jimmy Carter…

I hope this works out. Local news media outside of huge cities is 3 nextdoor posts in a trenchcoat.

Uncritical copaganda from NYT again. These changes are…fine, but don’t get at the inherent risks of police surveillance and biometrics.

Name an activism campaign that worked and you support.

With the state of AI and computer vision, and legal requirements to disclose ads, i wonder if a ytdl + editing script will he the nicest way to watch at some point

These comments, including this one, are an embarrassment. Worse than reddit right now.

This comment has antivaxxer energy.

We really need to tax energy used by GPU-burning projects differently. AI training, blockchain, whatever. Such a wasteful endeavour.

Historical reason for the US supporting the creation of Israel ^^

Love free speech, and the very normal relationship the US politicians have to its client state

Also KDE here, but largely without modifications from defaults. I turn off a few things, but more or less it’s exactly what i expect from a DE without taking up too many resources. I really buy in to the K-suite apps for almost everything too, so it all works together nicely.

This begs some reflection. what is a"job", functionally? What would be needed for losing it to be good?

I suspect a system with jobs would not eradicate jobs, just change them.

I’ll add that id highly recommend making a backup before doing anything. You can more safely try out linux in a virtual machine as well
