I mean I pretty much browse new and see almost everything. Do you have any specific examples?

Nope. Any examples?

Its more about being on the edge of hardware. The kernel is still being updated to support my chip. What wrapper goes around that kernel is secondary. What fedora allows is for me to stay up to date as relevant kernel patches come through.

Its just beyond the pale at this point.

And Schumer has out right said it. His service isn’t to the American people but to Israel.

Yeah I’m paying attention to some arch builds for my machine. I’ve gone deep enough that I’m literally following the https://lkml.org/ to see how support for my machine and the chipset is going. Its why I’m prob going back to fedora after this, so I can stay on the latest kernel.

Hmm. Well I was on a tear of trying new operating systems trying to get a bit of bleeding edge kit working. I was about to be traveling and I needed it to just work. Bazzite had a release specific to my model… and it all seemed hunky dory, until it wasn’t and I couldn’t get in and wrench. I think in that week I probably went through 20+ different ISO’s and install scripts trying to get to an install that would let me use the GPU acceleration I paid for. Tried fedora, bazzite (and bazzite did work, but I had issues with the wifi/ blue tooth driver, but I had to do containers/ sandboxes to actually use RoCM), ubuntu, others.

I ended up on Ubuntu for this machine because at least I can wrench on things, and I wasn’t prepared to take the Arch jump off the diving board (at least not on a new machine before traveling). And its been “fine”.

But I genuinely do no like the Ubuntu experience. Once I can slick this machine (when I’m done with my current project), I’m going to go to Fedora because that should allow me to stay with the most up to date kernel.

Yeah I tried Bazzite. Idk if its because I’m already in club tuxedo, but the whole immutability thing did not work for me when it didn’t work with my hardware out the gate.

But if it had, wow, what a slick experience.

It resulted in the liberation and elevation of an entire segment of society from the darkness of repression.

Uh no.

Not the kinds of things I need to be able to do. There simply isn’t the support. Taken a ridiculous amount of time to get even basic support to do the kinds of things I need to be able to do on AMD hardware.

Valve phone? I don’t really want an arm steam deck. It’s important to me I be able to run stuff outside of games on my deck. It’s not just a handheld, it’s a full fledged pc in a handheld body.

But if they want to make a valve phone with a Linux based os…

Well I have several scars from a watching never ending story too many times.

I would have pegged Spiderman (…)

Enough said.

The humiliating act is the thing they are doing.

What the fuck is the literal point of this guy.

I think the point of the words inclusion is that you might have a very different perspective of the implications and effectiveness of voting when the state doesn’t explicitly cater to your identity as the default.

No you gotta do it harder.

And he was too. It was a huge contributing factor to how the Dem’s threw the election.

I mean a conservative project to do exactly this is what transformed the Cheney era neocons into the modern day fascist party we see. So at least in principle that’s possible. but clearly the neocons were more than happy to go along with fascism. Fascism and conservativism have effectively the same goals.

The neoliberals who faced the same kind of insurrection from within their party at the same time were unwilling to adopt progressivism and are still unwilling to adopt progressivism. The right was able to change their party into a fascist one, the left has failed to move the demo party into being a progressive party

I think we’re showing mixed results on your third bullet. It did seem that way, for a while, as we pushed on social issues. And when it came time to get on with the economic issues, the core management team of the party rallied, and rather than adopt the left flank to win, steps right to hand control to Republicans.

And it’s happened more than once now, to obvious and clear effect: the goal of the Democratic party isn’t to win elections, it’s to keep the country idealogically aligned with a neoliberal ruling class. And if that means handing control of government to Republicans, they’ll do so, then blame the left (even though it’s them moving to the right losing elections).

To the fourth bullet, no, it’s not clear that within the machinations of the party infrastructure it can be overcome. Because if not now, when? Party leadership has never been weaker or more vulnerable nor the times more desperate. Democrats as a party poll worse than Trump, yet progressives can win elections with both the entire Republican and Democratic apparatus gunning to take them down. yet somehow we can’t replace Schumer’s or Jefferies.

Skipping to the 6th point, again, that isn’t actually borne out by the evidence. It’s not something well know in advance and only as an artifact of history. What’s been extremely clearly is that so far, voting has been wildly insufficient to make the kinds of structural changes necessary. Obama is the classic example of this. He runs on healthcare, holding wallstreet accountable, and ending the wars; he delivers corporate “access”, bails out the banks, and continues the wars. The voters did their job and the system didn’t work.

So a relentless optimism that the system will just work as intended doesn’t seem warranted, and it’s clearly not going in a good direction.

Until we recognize that the Democratic party, it at least it’s current and historical structure is at the core of the problem with why we can’t advance political change, its pretty clear that this decent into autocracy, fascism, and a degraded quality of life is inevitable. The Democratic party isn’t just part of the problem: it’s the core element of the problem.

Seriously.

I had a guy in an I forgot what something manly or whatever with rude stickers about liberals or something on the back try to beat me off the line when was driving my leaf.

It was a complete joke. The instant torque evs have is ridiculous.
