Open to discussion, but since 2008, the Democrats have won every election where the leadership didn't "put their finger on the scale" in the primaries/picking the candidate. Obama, Obama; Clinton arguably shouldn't have been the nominee and Sanders should have; Biden was (?) properly primaries; Harris was picked
obvious pick, but still, not primaried.
Or the other reason, that the US is too sexist to elect a woman. It's depressing either way of course.
The Democrats, in hindsight, fucked up with the economy and/or the messaging.
Did inflation happen because of the groundwork that Trump laid down in his term (not to mention global pandemic)? Sure
but did inflation get really bad under Biden? Yes, absolutely. That doesn't make it his fault, but it makes it a problem that the Democrats probably needed to address more aggressively, an all-out attack on rising cost of living.
At the start of the pandemic, for me to carry $100 of normal weekly groceries home from the supermarket was a real challenge, but I could do it. Now, I carry $100 no problem, with a toddler on my shoulders. The money doesn't really matter to me, but from what I've been reading, it really mattered to a lot of voters. Again: I think his will be worse under Trump (if it does get better, it'll be due to some shady tax rebates to supermarkets or big ag or something, IMHO).
So while the Dems are talking about first time home credits and whatnot, Vance is out there lying about the price of eggs
but it's a lie that "feels" right to a lot of people, and anecdotally, has some truth to it in that inflation/cost of living increase is real. Nevermind that the R policy is...what, exactly? But they say they'll fix it, and they point out that Dems are currently in power, and that's enough for a lot of people.
We have one kid, one one the way, and then it's time for a Balls Voyage party (or snipped but still equipped, if you prefer).
Remote backup server would be my suggestion.
Configure it with a VPN to talk to your home network and set it up at a trusted friend's or family's place.
I do this with a raspberry pi and an external HDD that takes daily/weekly/monthly snapshots, with daily rsync. Works nicely for me.
If the minimum wage was a comfortable living wage
like it should be, in my and many other folks' opinion
then it wouldn't matter. One person's excess isn't a problem, unless it's at the expense of someone else (which, you know, is kinda the case...).
I would be very surprised if such a fork would diverge from Linux. I would guess that this would be little more than a branch with (most likely) support for Russian hardware. Just my hunch.
A legitimate hard fork doesn't seem particularly smart to me, but what do I know...
My headcanon for The Matrix's "humans are batteries" is that it's the machines' perverse interpretation of this
killing the humans is off the table, and for whatever reason letting them live with no purpose to serve the machines is also disallowed. But giving their lives "meaning" in the form of a shitty (and thermodynamically dubious) "battery" somehow satisfies the rules.
It's a very big stretch, I'll admit...
I'm guessing it's because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.
Step one: join local bike coalition.
Step two: become a single-iseue voter and only vote for their endorsements.
Only half joking here.
It's not perfect in my city, but it is getting better, which is awesome to see
in the past 7 or so years that I've lived here it has gotten way way better. The pandemic helped a ton (slow streets implemented in a really great way among other things).
Duh, just read it back from /dev/random
You will recover the data, you just need to wait long enough.
Same, an R4 with an i5 4670k I built in grad school. It's my ham radio computer now, as happy running Debian as the day I built it.
