We won’t know the winner til Thurs eve or Friday. My money is on Friday.

I hope Gen Z shows up. I don’t buy into poll results.

Which is exactly why the US is looking at a sale / ban scenario. I doubt it’ll ever actually happen.

No argument on US companies not being much better. At least there’s some paperwork that gets in the way.

I suggest you read the article, specifically the section “Get flexible with your thinking.” :) A Trump win, while disturbing, has a lot of possible outcomes.

No it’s not. It’s because it, like other Chinese companies, are at risk of being browbeaten by their government into providing whatever information they have on American users to use as they wish. One can easily argue what kind of risk that actually poses, but that’s why they’re trying to ban it. Unless you have some sort of proof…

That video is worth watching just for the LOLs, but also does a great job of explaining exactly how the whole thing works.

Mountain biking, hiking, skiing, or golfing.

Life outdoors is so enjoyable and cathartic.

Trying to setup dnscrypt-proxy on my personal laptop. I tend to think I things are more complicated, so I went down the rabbit hole searching for all manner of issues and setup guides. It’s not hard… RTFM

I 100% agree with BLM. It’s not a no to Harris, but I am so effin’ tired of getting nominees shoved down my throat. The DLC works for the people, not Kamela and Joe.

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.

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…

Don’t forget Chimera Linux ( not to be confused with Chimeraos)!

Gotcha. I looked at Seduction the bistro and I’m inclined to give it a trial alongside a few others.

It’s soo good. It’s taught me most of what I know about Linux. And, without getting into a battle over inits, I just love the simplicity of runit.

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 :)

Great suggestion. A few of the distro suggestions here are in the deep end of the Linux pool, so it’s probably best to build them virtually to see how I want things setup.

I know, so cool. I am open to learning, but I am not sure I am in for that depth of education :)

I haven’t honestly. Isn’t that one that takes forever to install because it builds the packages as you install the system?
