Jesus Christ, people.

It’s not a black and white situation. Hamas don’t get to be the good guys just because the IDF is clearly the bad guys. It’s not that simple, and there are no protagonists in this story. There are people who are committing genocide, and there are people who would love he opportunity to commit genocide (specifically Hamas). I can tell you which is worse, but that doesn’t make the other okay. And it’s all besides the point.

The point was that the administration is totally fine with ICE thugs dying because they’re itching for a chance to escalate.

And much like Hamas, they don’t really care who.

I was unsure and checked the rules there.

• You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.

You should make a Roku community on Lemmy if there isn’t one already and post the fix there. Yeah, maybe nobody will see it, but maybe they will. Especially if they saw the content on Reddit and can’t find it anymore, they might look here. And that’s the only way we’re gonna get that shit off of Reddit.

It IS wrong if that’s the one line you read. And I’m not worried about me having a blindspot because of it (in this instance), but everyone else it might influence.

My responses were certainly not rewriting history. BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) has been a thing for a long time. Your first line does a disservice to the rest of the much more nuanced and interesting comment.

It didn’t grow from Gwenyth Paltrow or the left. The growth came from a wholly independent source.

The history you’re providing is valuable. I just don’t like that the opening line was “both sides”. To people who have trouble understanding more than one or two sentences at a time it makes it sound like something it wasn’t. There are a lot of those people, and it turns out to be important.

No, it’s not both sides. A decade ago on the left anti-vaxxers were a small fringe group that was concerning, but was small enough to be ignored as long as it didn’t grow.

This new anti-vax is overwhelmingly on the right and a much bigger issue.

The left didn’t put RFK in a cabinet post.

You can’t just lose hope, especially when things are getting worse and worse by the week.

It does take a long time for anything that the federal government does to actually affect your life or someone you know in a noticeable way. Lots of things might get slightly better or worse, but won’t be directly attributable to government, like policies that affect the economy. Other things might get MUCH better or worse, but only for a few people at a time.

Especially if you’re dumb, these things can be hard to notice. Some people don’t believe us because we’ve been saying the train is coming for a year now and they haven’t seen it. But when they do get hit by it, or they see someone close enough, well… it can start to get through to them.

And we need those few percentage points. It’s important to get people to vote against this shit, assuming we still get to vote at all. Be aware that there’s also levels of cheating in voting. If they do things that suppress the vote by 5%, with the extreme shit they’re doing, we could gain more than 10 points.

Voting still matters. Even if they cheat.

No. Judging people for their core beliefs, like if it’s okay for Nazi thugs to abduct people off the street with no due process, is not a stereotype.

If you support this Republican party, you don’t believe in the Constitution, rule of law, or America. And frankly we’d all be better off if you got the fuck out.

I think that’s the joke.

Will we still just have one gravestone with five dates spanning five weeks?

It’s not time for christmas cards yet.

Okay, I’ll address that last paragraph.

First of all, gross. These being the things you focus on says more about you than anyone else.

Second, the stereotyping by politics is so inaccurate as to be insulting. If you’re ever exposed to the real world, you’ll discover your stereotypes don’t hold.

And the homophobia and the Grindr.

And why? He’s a US citizen in a vehicle. Why is ICE even touching him at all?

They’re not law enforcement and have no reason to touch US citizens. We’re not required to show our papers to them.

The app didn’t seem to respect the environment variable for X11 I tried to set for that one app.

I have an odd monitor configuration, one 2k high refresh rate, HDR monitor in the center, 1080p monitors to the left, right, and above. The right is also a higher refresh rate.

I could get it to work in Ubuntu… inconsistently. Sometimes I’d log in and have one 640x480 monitor in the center. PopOS just worked.

Yeah, my monitors didn’t work under Ubuntu X11. At least on PopOS, that just worked.

And if this movement picks up enough to actually be effective, how do you think it works out?

I want Omnissa (VMWare) Horizon Client to support Wayland. Until then, while I have to boot into Windows for one thing, I might as well boot into Windows for everything.

Maybe next year will be the year of the Linux Desktop.
