Forget a perfect candidate. Just go back and watch the 2012 debate and both Obama and Mitt Romney were infinitely better than Joe Biden or Trump.

Tankies? CNN, MSNBC, and NYTimes are all concerned.

That is not all where the discussion is right now. The discussion is whether Biden is the best person we have. We still can put someone else forth and now it's the time to do it.

Of course, we have higher standards. That's what separates us from them.

Clearly this is a far-right conspiracy and they have all taken over the media.

/s

Thats why Biden stepping down is so important right now. They need to get guys like this poster to vote D this time. Any generic dem with a pulse will do that.

Its the partys fault if they cant get an easy vote, not the voter's

Imo, computing, like all other things, requires a little trust and risk. The problem is most people are Wayyy to trusting in general.

I ended up giving up and just putting a Linux PC attached to my TV as a media center. I host plex on it.

We've hit the wall of diminishing returns. How much power do you need to run lemmy?

Ive got a 4k oled 144hrtz panel in my phone... to read lemmy.

And my pixel 6 is considered aging.

The problem is where things are getting the most expensive, that being food and housing, the markets are captured. You can't just say no to having food and housing.

This is where regulation is supposed to step in.

They're just gonna have to leave whenever Cara makes some dumb decision. It's the capitalist app cycle.

The open sourcing of the quake engine is where a lot of modern engines got their roots.

Picture a bank hostage situation. Police officer comes in with a fully loaded gun. A bank teller is being held at gunpoint by the robber. Never once in the history of ever has the police officer shot the bank teller.

That's what Israel is doing.

Dude, she was a professional fighter. She was already selling her body.

This has been very difficult for my potentially autistic ass.

This is awful. So are Palestinian deaths.

If literally any Adobe competitor released a product for Linux they'd dominate that niche.

I need to preface this by saying it's really stupid that anyone's sending threats, but I think the reason they're doing it is because Nintendo has made a very hard-line stance against small esport events. You arent allowed to host events without their permission

So what happend when this app needs to pay server costs for 600,000 people?

Capitalism is strangling us. Any candidate who doesn't admit that is unacceptable.

Now if only lemmy.world would follow.

I literally stopped playing my pirated copy of Spider-Man Remastered to play an official copy on the Steam Deck because it was on sale.

I think it would be wise for us to adopt a hashtag system so you can search by topic as opposed to by community. We're so segmented into smaller sub communities and different servers that it's difficult to find what you want to read.

What about a cease-fire's particularly pro-hamas? Cease-fire means both directions.

Yeah, the entire staff from the company he worked that quit and started a second channel. He's basically just continuing as if he never stopped.

Unless you know you actually read the article when it was a one-on-one confrontation, where a Pro-Palestinian person also helped him seek medical attention.

But yes, I guess it was a mob seeking to kill this man.

" Kessler was “struck in the head by a megaphone wielded by a pro-Palestinian protestor.” 

A video posted to social media shows him lying on the ground as two people, including a pro-Palestinian demonstrator, try to help."

I'm sure the media will be responsible and not use this incident to support genocide.

It's not the wages. It's the proportional cost of living. Proportionality matters more than anything.

TVs are proportionally cheaper than ever, but housing is not.

I highly recommend subscribing to his Patreon page since peertube gives him no monetization avenues understandably.

I quite like his podcast he does for Patreon members every week. Just a short life/channel update series.

Why buy a new system when you can just run Linux on the existing system

This is why Mastodon is so populated compared to lemmy. Elon just keeps making more and more mistakes.

Come here, gay bowser! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm sure the Jerusalem Post is who we should be listening to on this matter.

Lol, Biden is not an A student for climate.

Regardless of who's in charge, we are still on track for environmental disaster unless we completely get rid of infinite growth capitalism. Joe Biden sure as heck isn't going to do that.

I'm sick and tired of moderates thinking that our planet being uninhabitable is some sort of worthy compromise for the ownership class.

Where did we go wrong?

You're telling me he can't fire the DEA chief until he gets results. I call bull.

MLK was spot on about the white moderate.

The problem is capitalism puts us in this position. Nobody is abstractly upset the jobs we hate can now be automated.

What is upsetting is that we wont be able to eat because of it.

The US is huge dude.

Godot 4.0 is quite good. As long as your game doesn't use precanned store assets,.its fantastic.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but with climate change in front of us, we actually don't have time.

I'm incredibly nihilistic right now.
