It really isn’t that difficult, Dems.

You are meant to be an opposition party. Oppose.

If you can’t do that, get the fuck out of the way for someone who will.

Mandrake. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. But I did get it installed.

As others have said, this seems like an ill-formed question. Do you have reason to believe that politicians “cling to the idea that these voters can’t be reached”?

Totally agree this man is already dead.

Eventually it will come out.

MAGA won’t care then either.

I’m sure all the “now we are gonna manufacture iPhones in the US!” conservatives will raise their displeasure with this any day now.

Something something about showing connections between points in a circle… the chocolate starfish of life.

It was much easier to fake a resurrection back then.

The Trump administration is descending has descended into authoritarianism

Ah, got it. Thanks.

I took the sentence “From a Republican…” as OP saying they were a Republican who had changed their view (since it isn’t really a full sentence… alas).

Wishful thinking, I guess.

You said you thought she was the lesser of two evils. I’m not sure how that is believing Trump’s words, as you said in the original post.

What period?

Edit: nm, got it. Period in OP.

Then how was it that you “believed Trump’s words”?

Edit: apparently the part in OP starting “From a Republican…” is not meant to imply that OP is a Republican. As it lacked a main verb, I assumed it was ultimately meant as a relative clause and misassigned it to “I”. Leaving this comment anyway but it doesn’t apply to OP.

I appreciate you taking the time to write this post, and I appreciate you noticing this trend.

But I’ve got to be honest: the writing was on the wall the whole time. Being in the Republican bubble doesn’t really change the fact that you only get here from a lack of critical thinking and a general susceptibility to propaganda. These are things that many people spend time and resources getting educated about. It’s hard to have sympathy when the whole country is now suffering because so many were so sure they knew better.

If I sound angry, I am. I do hope you take it constructively, but you also need to understand: most of the damage has already been done. It doesn’t really matter how you feel from here on out, because the deed (from voters) is done.

Ok boomer

I used to have a side system with /home on its own partition precisely to learn different distros and setups. It makes it much easier having a partition which is retained.

These days, qemu is your friend for playing around with random Linux stuff.

Newpipe can also be used as a full-on replacement to the YouTube app or YouTube in a browser. It allows for background music, or video and audio downloads for offline enjoyment.

The apk has to be sideloaded, of course.

Yes, bigger than that. I have tried Clementine.

I really just want a media player that:

1. Has good media library support based on tags (lots do)

2. Has ReplayGain support (lots do)

3. Lets me have an album art panel bigger than a thumbnail (and here is where so many options fall short, including Rhythmbox)

Deadbeef seems to be the closest due to its good customizability, but the plugin which allows for actual media library capability is apparently Mac-only, for some unfathomable reason.

Gonna be stuck with Foobar via Wine for a fair sight longer, I think.

I tend to use food names, like tomato and sausage. But no potato, and definitely no apple.

I also utilize the special-use domain home.arpa for all my LAN systems, so accidental collisions are largely impossible.

Corpos always use socialism to their full advantage, and then they privatize their resulting profits. This is Business 101 now, in the US at least.

The shocking part is that the rich have been able to convince so many that they take no corporate handouts, or at least that they don’t rely on them, so that some people genuinely believe you can get that rich by hard work alone.

The reality is, the only way to get that rich (aside from starting as a nepo-baby, which so often is the case) is by stealing from others. Whether that theft is wage theft or taking corporate handouts (=taxpayer dollars) without paying equally or more back into the system – it’s all still theft.
