Well, that's a little bit of a relief. But only a little bit.

Just today I have read about Republicans calling immigrants "animals" and "illegal human locusts," and now Trump is calling for a "final solution" to the "Immigrant Problem." This is straight up Nazism, right out in the open, and we'll all suffer if they are given power.

Because they have undue power over our lives.

Conservatives in many countries have realized that since their political program serves the few at the expense of the many, it is inherently revolting to most people, so they can only win support by deceit and distraction.

How much are they paying their execs this year? How much does Pat Gelsinger earn?

Come on, it's not like she murdered someone rich.

I really don't understand your use of "far left" here.

My comment was just advising people to be media-literate and consider the source, though I also said that this in itself doesn't make the article questionable (I actually think it's quite credible). And I linked to Wikipedia's article about this news website. I wasn't trying to defend Israel or be controversial, and it was a bit of a surprise to see this get deleted.

Who is "him"?

Funny how "weird" bothers them more than, say, "rapist".

The problem with the US system seems to be that it's partisan all the way down. It's too easy for the parties standing for election to influence how the election itself is run and counted. This is, I guess, an effect of the USA's highly decentralized approach to elections: if the Republicans run a county, they get to decide how elections work in that county. A more centralized system wouldn't leave the same scope for tweaking each local election to get the desired result in that locality.

I've not heard it called that before.

Oh if only he had the power he craves, this journalist would be in a camp for making him feel uncomfortable. Nasty little angry fascist.

This may shock readers of the Washington Examiner, but it's a plus for him in my book.

It's a very special Secret called Illiteracy.

They have nukes too. It's sickening that the USA, UK, Germany, Canada, etc. are pouring money and weapons into a regime of actively genocidal fascists with nukes, and fighting anyone who questions this.

USB sticks and SSDs are no good for long-term storage. The data on them degrades rapidly if they're not powered up. Spinning disks last longer. So your process would be better done with those.

It's a shame their capacity lags so far behind current hard drives. And not many drives for these discs are still made, so what are the chances of them becoming unreadable just because no one has equipment to read them?

Doesn't sound like that's his plan:

So, hear me when I say this: no more money without reform.

Sounds like he wants to change the NHS's priorities before making any new investment.

Yes, has anyone considered taxing corporations and the rich?

These people can't imagine shame.

The thing about the far right is it tends to get out of control and ends up eating its own. Politicians give it momentum and by the time they want to put the brakes on, it's no longer theirs to stop.

I once accidentally ate dog shit when I was a kid. Even this lunch tasted better than that. But, as you can see, my standards haven't changed that much.

Yeah it's fake meat. Not classy or healthy or anything. Just brown.

You're right. The hope is that they're not enough and he fails to attract anyone else.

It will not put off his voters. Some of them just don't care about anything international. Others admire Putin as a strongman who isn't afraid to kill his enemies and persecute minorities, a moral conservative, a self-professed Christian, an ally against democracy and a defender of the same bigotries they share.

40.8% of the 43.5% that bothered to vote in 2022. So about 17.7% of the voters.

Man, these NYT headlines. In the article they admit there's no evidence to support Israel's claims that Hamas militants were hiding in the schools and shelters they bombed - all they have is the IDF's word. But in the headline they definitely spin it a different way.

Hopefully people see that they can oppose both Israel's genocide and Islamist homophobia at the same time. There's no obligation to downplay either.

Attacking LGBT people is how they virtue signal to other hateful people.

I think it's worse than that. They are motivated by real hatred and have repeatedly called for the "eradication" of trans people. They must not be given a chance to show us how serious they are about that.

They don't care, so long as those who dislike them can't vote.

$20 per month would be enough to discourage me. It's another relatively costly computer-related subscription and I already feel like I'm losing a battle to keep those minimal. There would have to be some very clear benefits for that price.

Tumbleweed surprised me with how it receives constant, up-to-the-minute updates yet somehow doesn't ever seem to break.

It also surprised me with how much I like KDE. I had used it way back in the day when it was a bit complicated looking and ugly. These days Plasma makes the whole experience nice.

Wouldn't the easiest remedy just be to use adequate shielding around sensitive systems? Is there a reason this would be too difficult?

That information is classified. But you'll know it when you see/smell it.

OK, you got me, I actually always return my cart and seldom shit in the broccoli.
