Voting is anonymous. He would have to tell someone how he voted for anyone to know. Unless you mean the primaries, in which case, he’d have to register for the party primary he wanted to vote in ahead of time. Having grown up in PA, I can tell you that it’s common practice to change parties depending on which party has the more consequential primary. I’ve done this myself, multiple times. Maybe he’s right wing. Maybe he’s left wing. But Lemmy propagandists aren’t going to wait to find out.
You don’t even need to actively use it. Just keep it running in some corner of your house as a tor node.
First of all, thanks for being on Lemmy. I get nothing out of it when the lefty hivemind argues against a strawman. At least you give us the real thing. Fuck gh0stcassette.
Second of all, Trump only campaigned on a populist platform in 2016. He railed against CEOs, various special interests, and other “swamp creatures” under the premise that he was going to fund his own campaign and didn’t need their money. It was honestly kind of refreshing, even if he was ultimately full of shit and failed to deliver. But I haven’t heard Trump’s 2016 rhetoric in a long time. Not regarding the ruling class. Maybe he still says “drain the swamp” now and then, but many of those who opposed Trump in 2016, e.g. Wall Street, now largely support him, and Trump openly panders to them for their donations. It’s not that people in power hate him; it’s just the people you don’t like in power who hate him.
Vote third party if you hate the elites.
Anyone who disagrees with you isn’t a troll. Biden looked how he looked, and moderates/independents don’t have the same appetite for copium as you do.
The age isn’t itself the problem. Cognitive decline is the problem. Biden is in rapid decline; Trump is still a ways off.
People think Biden may actually do it? I hope I’m wrong, but I think that’s pure fantasy. One ego is definitely bigger than the other, but you don’t become President by being a good person.
The SCOTUS interpretation is exactly the interpretation I was taught in school back in the 90’s/2000’s.
Stable, in this context, just means “point release”. If you meant “doesn’t break”, that describes most rolling release distros.
…unless you’ve used KDE in the last month. Holy cow, just let me alt-tab into a fullscreen window without throwing a fit.
I don’t hate flatpaks, but flatpaks require more disk space than the same apps from traditional repositories, and they only support a handful of the most common default themes. Since I only ever use older and slower computers, my disk space is limited, and I like to rice my desktop, I personally avoid them. But your use-case may differ.
You’re thinking in reverse. Walled gardens keep you in, not out. Without logging into your Steam account (pretending you don’t have one), try to download a mod for a game you bought on GOG and see how it goes for you.
This is silly. Valve is already a profit driven company. You don’t see the walled garden? The DRM? Valve supports proton because it’s in their monetary interest to do so.
I suspect that for every Manchin and Sinema who took the negative publicity, there are 10 Manchins and Sinemas who didn’t have to. They’ll cash out when it’s their turn. Call me cynical if you want.
No, DNC, you’re not out of touch. It’s the voters who are wrong.
I played with Endeavor years ago, but not extensively. If memory serves, it’s pretty much just preconfigured Arch with some nice theming, a Calamares installer, and a few simple scripts. Garuda adds even more theming (too much for my tastes, actually), a few GUI utilities, notifications when your system is overdue for an update, and an update script that runs common post-update tasks (like grub-install) and takes snapper snapshots automatically, so basically user-friendly bloat.
Disclaimer: I’m incredibly ignorant. Wouldn’t wireless necessarily mean high-latency?
If you like arch but want a plug’n play distro, just do a plug’n play arch-based distro. Garuda is braindead easy.
It’s the micromanagement. When earlier games became tedious, I could just pick a quicker game speed, and I would suddenly feel like I was playing with more momentum. But in VI, it actually kills momentum, as if driving the slightly faster route to work at the cost of particularly frustrating traffic, since the most tedious micro isn’t turn-based, but city-based. You only have to plan districts/improvements once per city, so I find I can still have fun with VI if I play suboptimally (i.e., tall) on tiny maps and with mods that let me cram more civilizations into the game. I’ve probably put in a few hundred hours this way.
But I’d rather just play IV or V.
It does not run well. You can’t see the performance difference between KDE and XFCE on neofetch, but you absolutely can on on old machine.

The third party options that are likely to appear on the ballot in most states are RFK Jr., Chase Oliver, and Jill Stein. RFK Jr. isn’t my cup of tea, but he’s been polling the best of the three-- double digits last I checked, which wasn’t recently. They can’t accuse you of “stealing” a vote from the DNC if you weren’t going to vote in the first place.
(Just kidding; they will accuse you. This is Lemmy. You’re basically a fascist™ now.)
