This is more an indictment of Biden than anything I said.

Nobody who calls themselves a Democrat or leftist or whatever label you want to apply to yourself other than “right wing dipshit” should EVER listen to anything Joe Scarborough has to say. He is a right wing grifter just like Ben Shapiro, he just happens to have the support of MSNBC or whatever network he is on now.

I literally see voters saying the Democrats were too left leaning, jfc.

I think its important to ask the people saying that to name specific examples of HOW they were too left leaning. People just want to hurt someone now because they are hurt - it doesn’t matter if they are punching left or right, if they perceive something as landing, it makes them feel better.

I am seeing Liberals online blaming minorities for not showing up when the reality is, across the board Dem voters didn’t show up.

And if you look back before fission, modern physics has a pretty well documented history. You can generally start at Maxwell, move forward to the guys who were trying to rectify the predicted speed of light vs observed speed of light, quantum physics, etc. I spent half a year getting real deep into it but you could probably teach the gist of pre-1945 nuclear physics in an afternoon

I’ve been saying this since last year to my family members on the other side of the political spectrum (some MAGA, some moderate), and I feel like I’ve been saying it til I get blue in the face, but it definitely feels like the MAGA wing of the Republican Party wants to go back to this era of German history ASAP.

Don’t want to pile on but the lack of a web client in favor of a Windows Store client really kills this for me. I mean, I’m not even on windows so it’s a deal breaker anyway. Would love to get this talking to Lutris somehow.

Also going to pile on a bit about your use of Discord, it is walling off information in a proprietary communication channel. Support tickets should be handled on the web so others can easily tack on if they are experiencing the same issues etc.

He said something, as he was making a birthday wish on stage, to the effect of “I hope the next shooter doesn’t miss”. For context it was like 2 days after the first Trump attempted shooting

Is “keeps asking for the password” the definition of “unusable on Linux”?

I have zero issue using this on Linux fwiw; yes, I am asked for password again on BW when I reboot/start my system. That is not inconvenient to me.

Does that invalidate his point regarding enshittification?

I think it might matter if Cory came out and said, I am starting an org with the resources to fix it. But I don’t see how this tidbit is relevant for a guy who coined the term about what’s happening here and has been beating the drum about the problem.

Ryujinx repo was just taken down from Github too

Sure, but there are other ActivityPub protocol softwares that have quote replies and moderation, that aren’t Mastodon. I think the challenge is getting the average user to seek out an instance running one of those softwares and not just mastodon dot social.

just a few miles south in Castle Rock! We have our own satellite branch of ACC for the local high school.

Hey this is close to me

You won’t find that here. But I won’t be silenced about the dumb shit Dems do. Luckily it seems to be happening less this go around. Enabling the genocide in Gaza is still very bad and Biden’s administration (and possibly, by extension, Harris’s campaign) should be criticized heavily for it

How long until he chides someone for being a fascist enabler for not being a Democrat bootlicker?

I can’t stand the “never criticize a dem or you’re helping the republicans” crowd, it’s how we ended up where we are now. Dems got complacent and ratcheted to the right to appease a “broader base” (how did that work out?)… give the people strong social policies and you will win in landslides

This x 1000. I’ve had a buddy razz me over using plain, simple Debian because it’s not bleeding edge and the packages are out of date in some cases. bro I don’t care I just want to play some games and occasionally use LibreOffice for some stuff.

Even a Cardassian like Damar eventually puts the logic together to realize that all the racism he and his fellow Cardassians were doing to Bajor, well, it ended up happening to them via the Dominion. You can almost watch the realization towards the end of S7 of DS9 where he realizes he will need to lead a resistance movement, which had previously contributed to the downfall of Cardassian occupation of Bajor.

To miss the message of that show, even if you watch it from a Pro-Cardassian standpoint, takes real work. The themes are served to you on a silver platter for the taking.

Well said.

Don’t get me wrong, I want to burn the Democratic Party to the ground for how they evaporated enthusiastic (mostly) young voters who were aligned with what Sanders was saying in 2016 and 2020. But I won’t allow fascism to be re-elected in my pursuit of that goal.

Love it, though I’m not sure what I would emulate. I have 1000s of games from other systems already and I much prefer the handheld format (anbernic) - the model I have won’t be doing GC emulation. Still, love the tech progress behind this.

This is cool to see. I tried my hand at running an instance most of last year but threw in the towel this past January. It was just me and 1-2 other active users and none of this software is wide spread enough to have a good solid support community. I really appreciate the people out there dedicating their time and other resources to making this work. (Truthfully, I didn’t put a ton of thought into how and where I was hosting my instance before inviting others to sign up, which is on me, and I think is what ultimately came back to haunt me down the line - my GoToSocial instance is much healthier, for example)
