  • Bad word choice. There is corruption on both parties, but saying it's rampant is just objectively not true. When the numbers are so different between the two, statements like yours are just both sidesing the issue and effectively softens the criticism towards Republicans.

    Name and shame the individuals rather than 80% of the party that didn't vote for this.

  • I'd prefer not, but he's not wrong.

  • Why be a dick?

  • Nah. This is a win. Anytime fascism gets shut down is a win. It's sad that this is the the current political environment, but it would have been a loss had the courts decided the other direction. Since they didn't, this is a win.

  • First, that was heavy sarcasm. Second, if you don't think people have been trying, you haven't been paying attention. If you've got some great ideas, that are realistic, we're all ears. If your answer is get violent, then don't bother responding.

  • They're just really interested in children's genitals.

  • Got a guide on how to get that done? Have to get millions of people on board to potentially sacrifice everything for a chance of change through revolution. When things like health insurance and being able to afford food are directly tied to employment, which can be taken away at a moments notice, especially if someone is active in a revolution, it's really tough to get people to go all in.

    I'm not saying it can't happen, just that it's probably not going to unless something truly significant happens that greatly affects the masses. Depending on how the midterms are handled and how much fuckery Republicans can instill, we might see something. I'm not saying bad things haven't happened, but it hasn't gotten bad enough for the majority of people yet to throw their lives at a revolution.

  • Unfortunately, there's no mechanism to make that happen over night. What we're seeing with the DSA is the first step in replacing them all. You'll have a tough time convincing people stuck in there ways to vote more progressive, but the successes that Mamdani is having in NY and potentially other locations will hopefully spread and start to help turn that tide.

    If people start actually feeling the benefits of progressive policies, some will start changing their views. The primaries have shown that tide is starting to shift. Hopefully we can ride that wave, get through a corrupt midterm, and maybe start to steer the ship in the right direction.

  • That was an unfortunate read.

  • Except Costco. They did stand up against the DEI bullshit and recently have expressly said they won't buy and distributed the imported beef. I assume there's more between those two points in time, I'm just not aware. One of the few out there doing good stuff.

  • Touche.

  • You're right. It's over. Let's all just stop trying.

  • I've seen a handful of videos about it recently that have been pushed into my algorithm. There's definitely a campaign to get it out to influencers. Never heard of it prior to this week.

    It's just a fork of Arch, with tiling, that's been slop coded with AI. Something anyone could recreate without AI in a couple hours if they're familiar with Arch.

  • I usually push 4 hours or about 400 miles when I can on longer trips. I rarely drive late nights anymore, so most of that travel takes place during the light if day. It's about 4 hours for me to visit my friends in an adjacent state, and I can do that comfortably now under a single tank of gas. That could result a couple of stops on a lower range EV if I didn't want to push the limits. That's just something I'm not willing to do right now.

    Again, I hope that I can get by without purchasing a new vehicle for many years to come. EVs are getting better and battery tech is improving as well. I think the market will probably meet my needs by the time I'm ready to transition.

  • I don't like that an 80 year old won, but the alternative is a younger but shittier option. Change just for the sake of change isn't good. It's not controlled opposition when the older candidate actively represents their constituents progressive views and the other is a bigot. His history is very public so we don't just think he's on our side, his body of work proves it. What a joke of a take you have there.

  • I think they're overpriced compared to most laptops. Being ARM doesn't inherently make it more valuable. The newest cheap model is the first that I feel has been relatively fairly priced, but it still comes with less RAM than it should. "Grossly" may not be the best word, but I think they are overpriced based entirely on name recognition.

    Like I said, I think their fine computers, just more expensive than they should be.

  • I am in no way an Apple fan. I think their computers are fine but grossly over priced and their phones are ass. I would say compared to many other big tech companies, the enshittifying isn't as bad. Those like Google and Microsoft for example. If I had a gun to my head and had to buy a new Windows laptop or Mac and not install Linux, I'm taking the Mac. That's not a positive review for them, it's an insult to Microsoft.

    So take what I said and just assume it means that they are just getting worse faster, not that they good and going to get bad. That ship sailed long ago as you pointed out.

  • I don't have to. Yea, it shares some backend Google services, but the rest of the browser, like the other 90% isn't Chrome. It's like comparing Windows and Mac OS and saying that they're the same because they both connect to the same Internet and that their operating systems. Just like Chrome v Firefox, they are two distinctly different products.

  • I hope for my next vehicle to be an EV, but I won't take anything less that 300 miles range. I know that 90% of my driving can be comfortably done in under 200 range, but I do go on longer trips. I know that recharging has come a long way, and I have no problem hanging out for 15+ min at a station, but I won't do it every 2-3 hours because that's all I've got.

    I'm hoping to get many more years out of my current ride before it dies or becomes too costly to repair vs replace. That gives ample time for battery tech to further improve, and hopefully more and cheaper EVs to the market.

    I'm not a car snob by any means, but currently the only EV that really piques my interest is the ionic 5 n, but it's range is just way too low. I've been driving a WRX for a little over 6 years now, and love pretty much everything about it. I hope to someday have an EV equivalent of it.
