Trump said to lift all military restrictions on Israel on 1st day in office according to reports
  • Instead of pointing their fingers at millions of trump voters, they are pointing it at people with empathy for having anti-genocider stance.

    Trump voters are lost. We (incorrectly) expected those that aren't dumb enough to directly vote for Trump to be smart enough to understand FPTP voting and act appropriately to avoid the worse outcome.

    We were wrong.

  • Muslims who voted for Trump upset by his pro-Israel cabinet picks
  • I was called a racist for having the gall to criticize the Muslim movement to not vote Harris.

    Me calling white christians stupid for voting for Trump because it actually hurts them is OK. But calling Muslims stupid for voting 3rd party or abstaining because it actually hurts them is racist.

  • History Repeats Itself
  • The man also increased his voter base across every demographic except white people this time around.

    If the US wants to be fucking stupid, there’s nothing Biden can do to stop us.

  • History Repeats Itself
  • IT’S NOT UP TO HIM. HE HAS NO CHOICE.

    Whether he fakes a smile and shakes the orange fuckers hand makes no difference. He must leave. It’s what our stupid ass electorate dictated. He must now obey. That’s how this works.

  • History Repeats Itself
  • It’s his job to get the fuck out of the office because that’s what the people voted for.

    I made fun of right-wing dipshits for 4 years for saying the same shit you are right now in the opposite direction.

    It’s so uncanny it’s almost like it’s on purpose to make libs or progressives look as dumb as republicans.

  • Block is my favorite button
  • This is a good way to end up with a feed of only people who agree with you. Sounds nice, right?

    If I’d done this in my early years on the internet, I might still be a right-wing Christian. Years of not having any good arguments against the atheists I encountered on the internet made a difference.

    Same with my political leanings.

    Confronting ideas you don’t agree with is a part of life and silencing opposing opinions puts you in danger of getting stuck in ideas that might not make sense.

    [UPDATE] Could use some recommendations for a (usually) quick typist.

    At home I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX browns and they feel great. I think this is the quickest I've been able to type on any keyboard.

    I type a lot for my new job and no one cares if I bring in my own keyboard but for my coworkers sake, I don't think I want to bring in browns. I'm a heavy typer and frankly I'm loud on browns.

    I searched for quieter keys and found Cherry MX Red Silents (Durgod keyboard) but after typing on it a few days at work, I'm making way more mistakes, I'm typing slower, and my hands are more fatigued. That's when I learned about linear vs tactile... I think tactile is what I need.

    So with that, I'm looking for:

    Need:

    • Tactile
    • Light switches (should not take much force to activate? idk. Browns are good for me, for reference)
    • Quiet
    • 100% layout

    Want:

    • Switches I can put the Draula keycaps on that my friend bought me. I just know they fit fine on Cherry MX Browns and Red Silent.
    • USB-C port. I have a coiled cable I want to use already.

    Nice to have:

    • Hot swappable PCB

    Open to other info I'm not thinking about.

    Edit: After looking around some more this evening, I'm leaning toward grabbing a Keychron K10 Pro, grabbing some Zilents V2's and sticking those in there, then popping on the caps I have. This would be the most building I've done for a keyboard. See any issues with that?

    Update

    Based on the recommendations here and some other threads I read, I went with a Keychron Q6 Max and the Zilent V2's.

    I confirmed that my poor speed and accuracy on the (previous) new board I had gotten was definitely due to my not being used to linears. After a day of using the new Keychron with Zilents I did a typing test and got a new PB.

    Thanks for all the suggestions! Now I'm in trouble because I want to replace my home keyboard with the same...

    A newbie helping newbies - Launch Firefox profile from shortcut.

    I recently switched from Windows 10 to ZorrinOS (after a quick detour to NixOS... OOF) and in the course of setting things up how I like, I ran across some interesting stuff relating to flatpaks and shortcuts. I wanted to get this written to provide a resource for other people who might be switching.

    This is a guide to making a shortcut to launch a particular Firefox profile, on a Ubuntu based distro, while running Firefox as a flatpak. This is just how I did it, put the files where you want.

    1. Make a directory to hold the launch script and a shortcut icon. My script:

    #!/bin/sh flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p youtube

    Obviously, make it executable.

    Because Firefox is running as a flatpak we can't just launch it using firefox. They're actually stored in /var/lib/flatpak/app and can be launched like this.

    https://opensource.com/article/21/5/launch-flatpaks-linux-terminal

    1. Create a text file in the Desktop directory with a .desktop extension like this:

    [Desktop Entry] Name=YouTube Comment= Launches Firefox Youtube profile Exec=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/firefox-youtube.sh Icon=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/youtube-app-icon.png Terminal=false Type=Application

    https://www.baeldung.com/linux/desktop-entry-files

    1. Once saved, make it executable. Right click > "Allow Launching". Done.

    Just for fun, this is the image I like for it.

    [USA] Index Funds Have Officially Won

    > The inevitable at last arrived. Last month, for the first time, passively managed funds controlled more assets than did their actively managed competitors.

    I honestly thought this happened a while ago...

    [Solved] Reno 911! episode where they stop chasing a (naked?) man as soon as he crosses out of their jurisdiction.

    I seem to remember this was a Reno 911! episode but my YouTube searching hasn't been able to find the episode/clip.

    I think they were chasing a naked man but none of the cops wanted to touch him for obvious reasons. They made a half-hearted attempt to cuff/capture him but as soon as he crossed out of their jurisdiction (county line or something) they throw their hands up because that's not their job anymore.

    Unable to post especially long guide

    I want to move one of my more important guides to Lemmy (lemmy.ml/datahoarder) but when I paste the guide in and click Create, the "Create" button just spins endlessly.

    Did I hit some character limit? It's 13,944 char and 204 lines.
