I guess RAM is a bell curve now.

• 32GB: Enough.
• 16GB: Not enough.
• 8GB: Not enough.
• 4GB: Believe it or not, enough.

One good thing doesn't even outweigh one bad one. What do you call someone who tells 99 truths and one lie?

A liar.

It's the same here; there's an asymmetry between doing what's right and betraying someone's trust. When Mozilla can demonstrate consistent integrity, maybe I'll stop using a fork.

Technically, hippos don't swim. They run along the ground. So if you pick a deep enough body of water, you might still have a chance.

This is delightfully unsettling.

Does a vote of no confidence mean anything? In American orchestras, musicians have virtually no power.

Racist? No. Racist™? Yes.

Last time I distrohopped, this was actually one of my main benchmarks. If I couldn't install Librewolf in under a minute, I picked a different distro.

Honestly, there are probably enough people using ublock with tor browser that you can still retain most of the benefits if you do the same. You'll just be in a smaller cohort than if you didn't.

_Psst...🐧

To play devil's advocate, yes, "w" is technically three syllables in English, but they're easy enough to blur together. Meanwhile, the actual "w" sound is comparatively labor intensive, and "-orld" even more so. We're in purple burglar alarm world.

I was so, so very wrong. And I'm quite happy about it.

What an unhinged false dichotomy. You really should make a normie conservative friend sometime. You'll find that most of them aren't the caricature depicted on Lemmy.

Ranked choice voting has already been adopted for state elections in multiple states.

The third party options that are likely to appear on the ballot in most states are RFK Jr., Chase Oliver, and Jill Stein. RFK Jr. isn't my cup of tea, but he's been polling the best of the three-- double digits last I checked, which wasn't recently. They can't accuse you of "stealing" a vote from the DNC if you weren't going to vote in the first place.

(Just kidding; they will accuse you. This is Lemmy. You're basically a fascist™ now.)

Voting is anonymous. He would have to tell someone how he voted for anyone to know. Unless you mean the primaries, in which case, he'd have to register for the party primary he wanted to vote in ahead of time. Having grown up in PA, I can tell you that it's common practice to change parties depending on which party has the more consequential primary. I've done this myself, multiple times. Maybe he's right wing. Maybe he's left wing. But Lemmy propagandists aren't going to wait to find out.

You don't even need to actively use it. Just keep it running in some corner of your house as a tor node.

First of all, thanks for being on Lemmy. I get nothing out of it when the lefty hivemind argues against a strawman. At least you give us the real thing. Fuck gh0stcassette.

Second of all, Trump only campaigned on a populist platform in 2016. He railed against CEOs, various special interests, and other "swamp creatures" under the premise that he was going to fund his own campaign and didn't need their money. It was honestly kind of refreshing, even if he was ultimately full of shit and failed to deliver. But I haven't heard Trump's 2016 rhetoric in a long time. Not regarding the ruling class. Maybe he still says "drain the swamp" now and then, but many of those who opposed Trump in 2016, e.g. Wall Street, now largely support him, and Trump openly panders to them for their donations. It's not that people in power hate him; it's just the people you don't like in power who hate him.

Vote third party if you hate the elites.

Anyone who disagrees with you isn't a troll. Biden looked how he looked, and moderates/independents don't have the same appetite for copium as you do.

The age isn't itself the problem. Cognitive decline is the problem. Biden is in rapid decline; Trump is still a ways off.
