Democratic power players are circulating a proposal for Biden to exit, launch 'blitz primary'
  • Sorry if I wasn't clear. My point is, I do not believe you can compel people to vote at all based on 'Trump bad'. They'll just stay home. I am not including people who regularly vote. If you want to get people in line to vote, there needs to be a more compelling candidate.

    It sounds like we'll both find out who's right in Nov.

  • Democratic power players are circulating a proposal for Biden to exit, launch 'blitz primary'
  • Just ... No. Of course Trump spews lies, what's changed over the last 10 years? Nothing. And he'll get his base to cast ballots.

    What has changed is the capacity of President Biden to hold office. It is absolutely mind boggling how tone def Dem leadership is.

    This election will be won by compelling undecideds and independent voters to cast a ballot, full stop. It's a fallacy to think these voters will be compelled purely on policy. Perception is reality, and the perception from any sane person after watching things unfold the last two weeks is that Biden is not fit to carry on as President. Period.

    You want Trump to win? Keep Biden in the race. "Trump worse" messaging will blow up in their faces, just like it did with Hillary. We need a compelling alternative.

    Once again, Jon Stewart hits the nail on the head...

  • To those of you who drink tea: What brand of tea do you drink?
  • Tips is good. I drink all kinds depending on mood. If you like cinnamon you need to try Harney and Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice.. I am addicted.

    I also like to make sun tea in the summer, but I'm searching for the perfect tea for that. Local grocery has the usual Lousianne and Lipton.

  • XBPS has spoiled me - advice needed.
  • I never took a swing at musl, though I did kick it around a few times. I used my laptop for work for years and couldn't afford to lose options for some apps. The gloves are off now :)

  • XBPS has spoiled me - advice needed.
  • Ah Chimera. I've been looking at that the last two days. I am really tempted to give it a shot. My laptop is mostly for playing around these days. Are you running it?

    I forgot about Arch. I ran Manjaro for a year and didn't have the best experience. 'Course I was pretty green on Linux then.

  • XBPS has spoiled me - advice needed.

    One of the few things that differentiates the major distros is the package manager. I've been running void on my laptop for the last 3 years and love it. XBPS is super fast and easy to use. It has never left me with a broken system either. That said, I've got the itch to switch.

    I am looking at rolling / up to date distros. I'm inclined to use CLI when available.

    I've been considering Opensuse, but last time I used zypper it was painfully slow. Has it gotten any better?

    I was thinking of trying Alpine, how is APK?

    Not interested in *butu, but apt seemed okay.

    What's your favorite and how does it behave?

    Who here uses a less popular Linux distribution? What made you choose it?
  • Void is just soo good.

    • Runit is super simple and makes sense to me. - I get to build the distro the way I want it.
    • I've learned a ton about the inner workings of Linux using Void for the last 3 years.
    • You're right about packages, but I've not had issues as I've found flatpacks or appimages for anything not offered.
    • Xbps has spoiled me. I HATE using almost every other package manager. They're all so slow and cumbersome.
  • How do I setup my name for posts in other instances?

    I see a lot of users who post have @nameblah@instancetheiraccountison, which I think is very handy when posting in other instances. Did I miss a step in my account setup? How do I set my name up in the same manor? TIA
