I started watching this guy and at first I thought he had some good points.

But then I realized that he makes a lot of points but basically doesn't give any evidence for them, and occasionally using straw-mans etc. I feel like you need to be quite nuanced when actually providing good political commentary, but this guy doesn't do that.

30 min lineup at advance voting at about 4pm today. Everyone I talked to says it's longer than previous years!

Finally! Thank you. Makes lots of sense. I've fucked up at least two systems in my life by messing with drivers/settings when I didn't know what I was doing. That would have certainly helped. I'll have to check it bazzite. I game too through Steam/Proton and it's not exactly a 100% match in terms of performance when compared to Windows.

Ride on the side of a major road and people will honk at you for no reason. You can't win.

Okay, I get what an immutable distro is. I get it's advantages in security/safety. But can someone please explain why this matters? Like, how much safer is this really? I don't understand the cost/benefit ratio of having an immutable core, especially since compromising the core will probably require fully compromising one or more privileged processes first, at which point it would be game over for a mutable distro as well.

Anybody know if it has a phased array antenna? a) those are cool b) they can aim much faster than an antenna that needs to physically pivot

Goddamn. I still remember when I broke a mercury thermometer and my parents freaked out and cleaned harder than I've ever seen them clean. Now this metal is being freely released into the atmosphere in 70 locations? So what, a few select businessmen can get a few more Ferraris?

Just something that I thought about Trump's tariffs that wasn't covered in the mainstream media.
