It’s the difference between those for whom leftism is an aesthetic and those who want material progress. Those who value the aesthetic can’t bear to compromise their aesthetic by voting for Harris, while those who care about people’s material conditions and doing work to actually make progress do vote for her.

Telegram users have never had privacy. Group chats are completely in the open and private messages are only encrypted if both users turn it on for each conversation—and it’s off by default. I’ve never understood why anyone thinks Telegram is any better than posting anywhere else on the internet.

There’s a preprint paper out that claims to prove that the technology used in LLMs will never be able to be extended to AGI, due to the exponentially increasing demand for resources they’d require. I don’t know enough formal CS to evaluate their methods, but to the extent I understand their argument, it is compelling.

I have tried–the instructions are woefully inadequate. I tried following them to build Ventoy and had to make numerous modifications just to get the first couple of components to build. At that point I gave up

As the cop in South Park said after a kid was killed in town, “Dammit! Outside school is the one place kids are supposed to be safe!”

After I saw that issue, I attempted to build Ventoy from source. After making numerous modifications and getting only the first couple components built, I got tired of it and quit. I’ve made some modifications to glim and use that instead, although it’s still not as easy as Ventoy. But I don’t trust Ventoy if I can’t build it myself.

Further, when @vkc@linuxmom.net made some criticisms of Ventoy in one of her YouTube videos, she was subjected to a harassment campaign, and others told her the same happened to them. That pushed me from not trusting Ventoy to actively distrusting it.

Then the likely outcome of your actions is at odds with your stated goal of forcing the two major parties to shift their platforms over time.

AIPAC is funded by Israel, Republicans, and Democrats, so you can’t draw any strong conclusions about party affiliation from involvement in AIPAC alone. Further, AIPAC isn’t the only, or even the biggest, donor to Biden and Harris, so claiming they’re “bought and paid for” strains credulity.

MAGA isn’t solely characterized by Zionism, and not all Zionists are MAGA, so going from “Zionism” to “MAGA” is an unsubstantiated leap.

Finally, receiving donations from a death cult does not make one part of a death cult. Morally reprehensible? Yes.

That’s easy for you to fix

That’s laudable, but the way to do that is to vote in primaries, not to vote third party in the general election

They might label some people incorrectly as russian agents, but the reality is that there is a concerted effort by russia to undermine the US democracy, mostly directed at the Democratic Party, and making some mistakes doesn’t make them delusional.

It’s pretty hard to prosecute propaganda in the US due to the First Amendment, so it’s not accurate to say that just because the Greens can run, they must not be russian agents.

The concern about the Greens is eminently logical: they are never going to win, so the best they can do is take votes from the Democrats, allowing the fascists to win. This is in fact what happened in the election of Polk, leading to the Mexican-American war and the theft of Texas from Mexico, which was then admitted as an additional slave state. Further, the Greens do little to nothing other than run in big national races, so it’s not a leap to think they’re deliberately running a spoiler campaign.

Finally, none of that has anything to do with the silly attempt to label Democrats as “Blue MAGA”, since MAGA is a quasi-religious fascist personality cult, none of which can be credibly attributed to Democrats.

Blue MAGA

Lol. Lmao, even

This one was

It’s not OP’s fault that Raccoon’s developer chose to be extra and delete their app from the internet for scoring low on a Markdown implementation rating, especially since the level of implementation was a design decision. Further, a pull request was coming soon that would have dramatically improved it. It’s too bad that the developer being dramatic killed off a very nice app.

That’s a ridiculous idea. If I buy a computer with an OS that has an encryption key to protect the hard drive, and later I need that key to remove my data to another system, I have an entirely reasonable expectation that I’m allowed to do so, regardless of how much the computer manufacturer doesn’t want me to.

Yeah, I read the good message, but then saw Homelander and thought, “makes fascists happy?”

Wait, when does help arrive?

Who are these people who have so many choices in friends that they can afford to vet them?
