Nice. Hopefully Biden keeps doing more good shit in his remaining few weeks while the MAGAt snowflakes are triggered and distracted by Hunter’s dick again.

Now who asks a court to turn Musk’s companies into non-profits to prevent conflicts of interest with him seemingly getting a government position?

You’ll probably have to work alone until you have a compelling proof of concept / vertical slice that might attract contributors - but it might not, and then you’ll have to continue alone. Also, open source and gamedev isn’t the best match (depending of the type of game), since testing games is tedious boredom that won’t attract volunteers, and developing a story in the open removes any surprises.

The point is to make things less bad. The oil mafia likes doomers who have already given up.

Banana Republicans doing corrupt shit? Whoda thunk?

Because not enough people laughed at his bullshit, so now too many people take him seriously (which is true for a lot of the banana republicans).

The Banana Republicans up to a good start.

Make sure to disable Windows hybrid sleep. If your system isn’t shutdown properly and you access the Windows partition from another system that can destroy data.

If you just want to keep the data on the Windows partition and usually don’t need to run Windows, I’d remove the Windows drive and keep it somewhere safe, and get another SSD for Linux. That way, the two systems are completely separate and can do nothing to each other.

Swap is mostly a crutch for too little RAM, if the system doesn’t have enough the best solution would be an upgrade. If that’s not possible, consider zram-swap, or if you have to, swap to an SSD (that will reduce its lifespan, though maybe not in a relevant manner). If you swap to an old HDD you won’t have much fun using the system.

Disgusting.

Proud enough to show their faces?

Already showing us how he wants to protect women.

Canceling votes is a good start, but they shouldn’t limit it to people they know, and even if all votes are cancelled, you still need more to actually win.

I’m unconvinced that pulling back from space programs will make Earth’s ecosystem thrive.

My point was more or less the opposite: Anyone interested in space exploration should also be interested in keeping Earth well livable, because that is needed for its success.

If we can’t manage to keep Earth’s ecosystem thriving to support us, we certainly won’t be able to create a new self-sustaining ecosystem elsewhere. And without that, there’s no chance of any non-Earth settlement being able to sustain a healthy human society and culture long-term.

Without some serious (currently impossible) terraforming, Mars colonies are limited to deep caves or heavily shielded buildings, no outside to relax, nowhere else to go. Have a look at the list of crimes in Antarctica, a similar situation where people are stuck together, that’s not a good environment for mental health, and it will be worse farther away. A Mars colony (edit: or space station) owned by a private company will be a corporate prison, the inhabitants are 100% dependent on that company - who would voluntarily put their lives into the hands of the whims of some narcissistic hoarder with no empathy or regard for workers?

I’m advocating for the outcome where the candidate that doesn’t want to jail their opponents and use the military against protestors wins, so that you can continue to make your disagreement with parts of their policy known.

I’m glad to see that you’re doing more than just voting, which I was advocating for in the first post you answered.

You agreed that either Trump or Harris will win. Your vote can only threaten one of them, by voting for the other or an alternative candidate. Same with not voting, the winner won’t care about your missing vote.

That means no action you take in the election will harm both candidates, ergo there is no way to vote against both of them.

The current system (or voter inertia) doesn’t allow you to vote against both. One of them will win, your only decision is which one you want (or despise less). If your vote doesn’t threaten their win, then when you vote for neither you’re voting for the winner.

“If I can’t have zero genocide then I don’t care to vote against the candidate that is very likely to be even worse.”

Especially with only two candidates with a chance of winning, a vote doesn’t mean unconditional support for everything that candidate wants. Sucks, but if you want to make your wishes known more specifically, you have to do more than just vote (if even that) and complain on the internet.

Audiobooks have a simple workaround if you can find a version of the book in text format to download, just index that.
