Hey I’m voting for Harris, I just think its important to call out bad takes from anyone, including those who I vote for. I do it for my local and my federal offices. I email my republican congress members (they don’t respond beyond the default robot reply) and I complain to my democratic senators.

Yep. It’s like how you say “I’m voting for Harris but I don’t like her track record of issues important to me, but she’s not Trump and that’s what matters.” and people instantly harass you into being okay with fracking and murder.

If one person he is insanely focused on made a joke about him breathing too much, and they saw people laughing at it, he would. Instantly without second thought, because he never had a first thought.

Can’t wait until he just dies from his own incompetence.

Good image, good time. Stay true to yourself, R2O.

This is legitimately scary. Trump does this every second, now Biden is doing it every other conference. 4 years ages anyone, let alone the man in charge of NATO, the biggest economy, and running for re-election.

I am genuinely starting to be at a loss. I understood the life long stutter, I understood people age differently, I understood that soundclips and sneaky edits can make things look bad, but Jesus Christ. Is this the same day as the “President Putin”?

“He’s murdered people and failed to protect the rights of Americans.”

“Uhh… so?”

God do you people just like to sound like dismissive pricks to bloodshed or is it second nature to selling your soul to a party?

2024: “Not Trump”

2020: “Not Trump”

2016: “Not Trump”

God I’m tired of it. I know its the better option, lesser of two evils, I’m going to vote for Biden if I live to November, but we act shocked when we get evil when we vote for lesser evil.

If someone is unaware of piracy: Tell them.

If someone is aware of piracy and doesn’t care: “I don’t really know, I just got it off of a torrent site.”

If someone is aware of piracy and cares too much for a company they don’t work for: You can ignore them.

• “Poor kids are as smart as white kids”
• “If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black.”
• “My uncle was eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea during WW2” (ignoring that there was fucking war with Japan during then, the probable more likely option)
• Continues to build the wall on the border Man he really is just an out of touch racist grandpa, isn’t he? Like god damn. Trump is openly racist, Biden has a filter that has a few holes in it/

It’s not inherently bad, it “fails” the Unix Philosophy of “Do one thing and do it well” but since Linux’s kernel is:

• Unix-like, not Unix
• Fails this philosophy, as it does more than one thing but does all of it pretty well
• systemd is just a bundle of tools that do one thing and do it well under one package, like Linux’s kernel

It used to be a mess, but that’s solved. The biggest reason to avoid systemd is mainly user preference, not anything malicious. 90% of current distros use systemd as its easier for the maintainers and package programmers to build for the general than each package and each distro having their own methods of how to do an init system and other tasks.

How Debian and Arch and Gentoo and Slackware and other big distros worked was different, and the maintainers of those packages had to know “Debian’s way” and not a general way that most places accept. Systemd actually solved the Too Many Standards! issue.

I’ve never really seen a big argument against systemd, but maybe I’ve just not heard it.

Hey I want y’all to know that I’m locking this, but:

I agree with OP. Burning Harry Potter books doesn’t hurt anyone. No one here would give a shit if it was burning a copy of some horrid book. And Harry Potter isn’t going to be out of print any time soon.

When Nazis did it, it was a complete removal of the only copies of a queer library in Germany. OP can’t do that to Harry Potter.

I’m only locking this to save the mod team and the admins the headache. I can only expect transphobia, ableism, and “but that nazis also burned books!!! youre as bad as the nazis!!!”.

lol

Hey everyone, just a reminder:

• Yes Nazis are also bad, we don’t have Nazis pop up anywhere near as often as Tankies
• We remove and ban Nazis too
• We’re aware of Lemmy’s main code writers being ML’s, and it’s not great.
• Please report any bigot bullshit, or fascist/tankie dogwhistles.

Lol

Please do not suggest people to use Manjaro.

https://github.com/arindas/manjarno

https://www.hadet.dev/Manjaro-Bad

https://rentry.co/manjaro-controversies

https://averagelinuxuser.com/manjaro-review

Manjaro’s maintainers have repeatedly:

• Let SSL certs expire, asking end users to turn back their system clock until they fixed it.

• Told users to make partial updates which often causes packages to break, including mandatory rollbacks on critical packages such as systemd

• Held back packages for ~1-2 weeks to improve stablity, but does not do this for all packages, including the AUR, which causes dependency hell and breakage.

• Rolled out an edit to a AUR package that repeatedly sent requests to aur.archlinux.org which made the servers experience a DDOS attack, impacting all users.

I am not saying this to hate on Manjaro, but to inform OP and others. If they want a stable yet fresher distro, they should choose something more like Fedora or Ubuntu. If they want something rolling, Arch includes an installer in its iso that is really simple to understand.

Edit: I guess I hate Manjaro for pointing out they run their packages horribly. I’m such a bad guy for that. Woes Manjaro.

Also, please explain how you want people to question the government, but support that very same government banning ways to find info to question it?

Oh yeah a nation that spies on everything and arrests anyone who disagrees with Putin sure is gonna revolt.

Blaming a nation of people who are unable to change their government with voting or revolution doesn’t help them. It makes you look like someone who’d blame all Japanese in America for Pearl Harbor.

Their options are not express free thought to a nation that kills its state officials when they are done being useful, or be buried near those officials in an unmarked grave.

The same logic applies to Americans in 2004. Not every american agreed with the Iraq invasion, but I guess Bush did all Americans must be removed from the Great equalizer of the Internet.
