"Electoral politics try not to be just a popularity contest challenge"

Failed for like the 50th time

Snap has always bothered me and this is another great reason why.

We absolutely can, but "organizing" doesn't mean the same thing to a Democrat as it does to me.

The largest suggestion in this article is: "call out the people who suppress voting and call them vote suppressors". Words have near-zero impact on the people passing these laws.

Peaceful methods simply will not work anymore. They've been tried for decades and the Republicans do not care. Their only goal is winning and in many states they have won in a semi-permanent way by redrawing districts and suppressing nonwhite votes.

I can't imagine what football would be like if the players didn't have a union.

Oh, wait, that's called NCAA and high school football. Violently exploitative and permanently injurious for zero pay.

No public sources yet, but there are positive whispers from anonymous people in the electronics supply industry. Companies that make boards, chips, screens, that kinda stuff. That plus the fact that the original Switch launched in 2017 is enough for me to believe the new one is on the way.

Anyone who says paid software is guaranteed to be better is either selling you something or delusional.

FOSS has almost never disappointed me as an end user. Windows disappoints me every time I use it.

American here and that is completely, 100 percent true.

Almost every piece of infrastructure built in the US in the past century is built around cars. Every American is expected to learn how to drive a car at age 16, as soon as legally possible. Except in very large cities like NYC, it is considered "strange" or "a significant inconvenience" to not own a car. For the vast majority of the country (both by land area and population) a car is required for commuting to work and almost anywhere else.

I think you're massively over-generalizing here to make Linux look like an unstable mess. Rolling release distros are the ones that want you to read the patch notes. Arch is the poster child for those. Stable distros like Mint and Ubuntu and elementaryOS don't brick your system with every update. They hold back updates and stick with older kernels to ensure stability. Linux is, already, very good. It sounds like you haven't used it for any length of time. Valve's work on Proton has made Linux gaming viable for a whole lot of people, but the majority of computer users don't play intense video games. They want web browsing, email, office software, that kind of thing. Linux does those just great on almost any device all the way down to Raspberry Pi boards.

The rights listed in the Constitution have always been a joke, selectively enforced in favor of the ruling classes, and this is yet another example of that. Completely blatant overreach by municipal and state authorities.

I hate it here.

Nazis are ontologically evil with a documented history of genocide. They deserve far worse than just doxxing.

If you're not comfortable with anti-Nazi activity, you need to ask yourself why.

Maybe it's because you're uncomfortable with the idea of hostility in general? If so, you need to understand that fascist ideology is in and of itself hostile, and any action against it by the people it targets is self-defense.

I'm queer and the people in that list would kill me or worse if given the chance. Do you understand that?

Depends on the motorcycle. Anything loosely above 500cc and the fuel efficiency gets worse than a Prius.

Overly complex? That's a baffling thing to say about any operating system when they are all insanely complicated. Windows and MacOS and a typical desktop Linux distro contain more code than a single human could write in a lifetime.
