I’m not sure you do. You just referenced a document where you didn’t know half of what was going on under Biden.

I ran Debian on one of the surface pros a few years ago. It took a bit of hardware hacking, but it was great.

I use a TWM and spend most of my time in the shell, so I didn’t get to utilize a lot of the OS features. But things like reading comics, and surfing the web were pretty cool.

I always wondered if Gnome would be a better interface for it. It seems like they’ve been leaning that direction for a while.

Well, if you ignore the bad things that someone does, then I can see how this can be confusing. I participate in US news discussions all the time, that’s how I know that Biden is a terrible person, who did terrible things.

If you want to be less confused, I’d recommend that you do the same.

Not really, no. Like I said, they were very similar.

And I don’t understand how you can see them do the above listed things, and claim that there is an “enormous gulf between the two primary options”. Yes, there are minor differences, but to say there is an “enormous gulf”, serously downplays how evil and monsterous Biden was.

Liberals refusing to see how evil and monsterous their politicians are, is one of the reasons that other monsters like Trump keep getting elected.

Different doesn’t mean Biden was good, just that he was so much better than the alternative.

“so much better” is where we disagree. The dude was a monster.

Did his administration blow up ships in international waters with no approval?

Not that I know of. But he sure did that to innocent people on land.

Deport citizens arrested by ICE to third-world countries with no trial and refuse to bring them back?

Yes

Dismantle USAID, killing multiple thousands of people?

Nope, but he forced people back to dangerous offices, killing thousands. He backed a genocide, killing multiple thousands. Bombed the hell out of who-knows-how many people. I don’t really care what tool someone used to kill others, I care that they killed others.

Remove protections from federal land and allow nature to be destroyed? Arrest citizens for using privacy features on their phones? Violate the first-amendment rights of national television broadcasters?

Yes

Let goons run around with full illegal access to every government database?

Yes

Deny healthcare to women based on their marital status?

No, but he sat back and did nothing when that happened, and had the full power to help them.

Beat and jail people protesting ICE raids?

Yes

Lie, cheat, scam, rape, steal, corrupt, and otherwise destroy anything they get their hands on?

Yes

I could go on, but it’s clear that you are ignoring my point: We were talking about “meaningfully different results”. Just because Biden didn’t do the exact same things as Trump doens’t mean that Biden gave us “meaningfully different results”.

“permanant”

Thanks, that’s helpful. Feel free to PM me that link. And feel free to share more! I love trying new things, so I’m totally down to try a bunch of different solutions.

It’s been quite a journey for me, and it’s been kind of frustrating that there’s no go-to solution, because everyone has to find what that works for them. But I’ve been feeling a lot better since I started paying more attention, and I hope the same for you!

Which high-sodium electrolyte mixes and salt-pills do you use? I’ve got similar health issues, and have been looking for good drinks, but a lot of them have high-ish potassium rates, which I’m trying to avoid.

(feel free to PM me if you don’t want to share too much publicly)

Literally uses a political compass

I don’t actually use the political compass

What meaningfully different results? Biden fast tracked money for the border wall. Stole from the working class to give handouts to his rich friends. Increased ICE, Police, Pentagon, and war funding. Deported immigrants, and sent them to torture prisons.

The Democrats were blowing up kids in syria. They were supporting genocide. They did more deportations than Trump’s first term. Lets look at the treaties and deals that they made: Dictators, Slave-Owners, Racists, Genocidists.

Wow, what “meaningfully different results”.

It has proven to be less effective at stopping the orphan crushing machine than voting for democrats.

Has it? Did the orphan crushing machine even slow down a little bit when democrats were in power? Because I’m pretty sure that it didn’t.

Are you? Can you at least try to be a little articulate? Or is that beyond your obviously limited capabilities?

I’ve not seen either of them do that. The best we’ve gotten is them pretending to support trans rights, then immediately backing down when they have the power to do something about it.

Oh, they didn’t forget, they clearly just don’t care.

Can you point out where the comic suggests that you shouldn’t bother voting? Because I must have missed that part.

It’s just a normal sticker, so it would work on pretty much anything. I think of it more as a way to donate to a group that I like, as well as good advertising for them.

I just tested it out, and I could’t get it to work. I didn’t spend much time trouble-shooting it, so there may be a simple fix, but that is kinda disappointing.

I’ve been covering my cameras with tape for a long time. If you wanna get fancy with it, the EFF sells laptop camera stickers: https://shopeff.org/products/laptop-camera-cover-set-ii

I have one, but I’ve only tried with the official dock. I’ll try to remember to test it out later this week to see if it works with a rando-dock.
