Kamala’s not promising anything, let alone horeshit, so my prediction is sadly a Trump win.

only american liberals believe she's going to win; but even then it's clear that most of them can feel the anxiety about her projected loss and; to be fair; she does have a decent chance at winning if the polls are as wrong as they were in 2016.

given that they figured out the disconnects since then and 2020's polls were spot on; i hope that the sense of mutual aid is as strong now as it was back in the 1980's during the last our government did little more than a public show of support while idly allowing people to die by the thousands during the hiv/aids scare.

the barrel charger is in pristine condition since its never been used and it's right next to that usb 2 slot; the left side is a slut while the right side is a virgin. lol

well put and one more thing:

People in the US need to do the same ... If you vote for a third party and Trump gets in then your conscience is clear and a message has been sent.

the SNP is an example of why both democrats and republicans fight 3rd parties from gaining a foothold on the voting ballots using things like peer pressure; friendly judges to pass down rulings against 3rd parties on ballots; and voter suppression.

your vote matters and it's most effective if you don't do it the way they want you to; the lesser evil is still evil.

is the syntax the same?

some common things that have a better version; like sed; are ignored because of licensing and i'm convinced that if the syntax were the same we would all be using it anyways.

"doing" is the operative word here; yes republicans are taking action and democrats are letting it happen.

i have this pep talk with myself every time i have to switch languages for a project (especially between python & java) and i can't remember how to do it at first.

it hadn't occurred to me that someone would use their distro w/o the hardware.

i bought from a system76 rival w their own distro too so that i can avoid situations like this and lemmy is teaching me how lazy and out of touch it's made me; op's smart to use a distro from a linux company that maintains its own distro with it's own paid developers because there's a stronger chance that there's an answer in their forum, compared to some obscure distro maintained by volunteers with day jobs.

does system76 not provide support for things like this?

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 16 hours ago

i'm starting to think that voter suppression is now a democrat thing as much as it is a republican thing.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “But Palestinians are not just numbers. Behind these numbers are real people — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters — who have had their lives stolen from them and their families torn apart. And we should not be trying to hide it. These are innocent children and babies who have been bombed in their tents, burned alive, dismembered and deliberately starved to death. Where is our shared humanity in this chamber? There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all, not when they’re alive and now not even when they’re dead. It’s absolutely disgusting. This is genocide denial.”
