  • Finally making the move to Linux, and I have questions before I get started.

    Jump

  • I've had good success either using steam (proton is basically seamless and mostly runs by itself in the background without me having to do anything), or lutris for non-steam games

  • Another car maker banned from my life forever

  • At least you didn't spend $40k for the privilege

    Time for people in the US to get stickering?

    Jump

  • Eggs are about $4.50 near Charlotte, NC for the cheapest dozen in budget stores like Aldi as of a few days ago. About 6 months ago they were closer to $1.35, so this is a massive increase for us even if it's cheap compared to other parts of the country.

  • USA Question | How much is a dozen large eggs near you?

    Jump

  • $4 for the cheapest at the cheapest grocery store near Charlotte, NC. Limit 2 per customer too

  • WTF is going on with TikTok?

    Jump

  • Except it went dark before the law had a chance to be enforced, and was back up before trump was ever in office and able to use executive orders. So points 3 and 4 have nothing to do with the actual law and are decisions completely from within tiktok

  • Mecha Comet is a modular Linux handheld coming soon to Kickstarter for $159 - Liliputing

    Jump

  • Would love something like this for field notes, though for my uses a eink screen would be preferable. Hopefully this or the equivalent takes off and we can start getting fun variables in the future!

  • Rule

  • OS X and iOS are completely different beasts, iOS is a closed off nightmare whereas OSX is basically just stable pretty Linux missing a few packages and costing more

  • Rule

    Jump

  • Counterpoint, I grew up at a time when Mac's still couldn't do much outside of what apple specifically developed for them, so I learned a ton about emulation and virtual machines and such to play games or use Photoshop. I guess that supports your hypothesis, I can rock Unix command line stuff and containers like a pro, but hate figuring out drivers

  • Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right?

    Jump

  • For sure, though I get the op point that at least Trump pretends to promise them something unlike every other group

  • Academic papers yanked after authors found to have used unlicensed software

    Jump

  • And when there is money it's often earmarked in ways that severely restrict its use for, e.g., paying for software

  • What are the next steps for Americans to help prevent the worsening of genocide in Palestine?

    Jump

  • Be billionaire and outbid Netanyahu

  • Is there any, any takeaways at all from the next 4 years that's about to happen?

    Jump

  • Most countries have deep economic ties to most wealthy countries, we're in a global economy. Even subsistence farmers in subsaharan Africa buy more of their seeds than you can imagine from Chinese companies that do the bulk of their R&D in the US and western Europe, if US policy becomes extremely isolationist that will affect them.

    Also, the US is one of the biggest climate emitors, if that ramps up instead of decreasing the whole world will feel that too.

    Best of luck!

  • What year is it?

    Jump

  • Sorry, I meant she should have been Bernie-style grandstanding about it and hammering it home and making it a core part of her campaign more than it not being in her plans at all. I feel like she started with that kind of message and was doing well and ended with the Cheneys like me and ill put a Republican in my cabinet and lost

  • What year is it?

    Jump

  • Sure, but if she had spent her few months promising to tax the shit out of Elon Musk and other billionaires I bet people would have been more excited and actually showed up to vote than when she promised to keep the course and also appoint a Republican

  • Removed

    Americans will ruin America for Americans.

    Jump

  • They hang out here because America is currently one of/the best wealth engines on the planet and they can afford to avoid the shit parts. Once either of those stop they'll go somewhere else that's nicer

  • What year is it?

    Jump

  • One example does not a rule make, and in the US electoral system money (and the party affiliations that bring it) speaks loudest of all. Maybe going further left wouldn't work, but going further right certainly hasn't. When Harris first emerged as the candidate she had such a swell of support, as she moved further right she lost it.

  • Realistically... How fucked is the US?

    Jump

  • There is some panicking prompted by the horrible things he's promised to do but probably can't, but:

    -He got Roe v. Wade overturned, stripping rights from Americans while also being responsible for a 3% increase in infant mortality in the US, the first significant increase in decades

    -about as many people died of COVID as voted for Jill Stein, and while Trump isn't responsible for all their deaths he significantly worsened the problem.

    So I'd say beyond shit

    How is it even possible for Trump to win? How is there so much hatred in the world?

    Jump

  • I don't agree that she had no platform other than I'm not Trump, but she certainly shifted right as the race went on and lost more and more support as she did it

  • I think Harris played it better than anyone had so far with handling Trump. I think her fatal mistep was believing there were hordes of rightwing never trumpers who could be swayed. She had so much momentum when she first stepped in and people thought she'd be further left than Biden, she pivoted further right than him and probably got less votes. Being a POC woman certainly didn't help either.
