I think it’s Pandora’s box, once opened it can’t be closed.

I understand there have been instances where it’s been closed in other countries, but I just can’t see that vision working in the US society.

If both sides stopped taking online potshots at each other and recognized that both groups are willing to utilize the second amendment in support of each other from the government, we’d be in a much better place.

Job searching as a SWE who’s trying to get out of SAAS and into something sustainability or space really makes you realize how many of these companies there are.

They all operate under the guise of sustainability and eco friendly we’re making the world a better place, but their revenue is mostly from the Pentagon and or Israel and they also conveniently provide satellite images of every spot on the earth “on the side”

Boycotts are a hell a lot more efficient than fanfare parades though.

I spent a lot of time trying to find an open source self hosted tool to replace mint and ended up just moving to Monarch and paying. Honestly it’s been a really great experience as if long as you don’t mind the annual $50.

Trump and Netanyahu are going to absolutely wipe out Gaza

The fact that it’s already been entirely demolished from the Biden admin kindve nullifies this talking point though.

Ultimately yes, its the fault of the voters (and non voters) who let their emotions cloud their judgement.

Just curious, why place blame on the voters? In my opinion we should be placing blame on the party / candidates. It is the parties and candidates job to ensure they are running on a winnable platform with a powerful message. Even outside of the Gaza issue Kamala did not back any popular policies and instead shifted to a very right (circa 2014/2016) platform. Particularly on taxation of billionaires, oil drilling, and healthcare for all, she walked all these policies to the right in the latter half of her campaign. There ultimately no reason to vote for her except so she would beat Trump, which makes sense for a lot of people, but I can also see many who weren’t inspired to vote and just assumed she’d win.

Edit: also just saw a guy below said a very similar thing so sorry if this feels like an attack from this perspective.

Just did this and it fixed all my problems, thanks again!

Ended up setting this up and it was fairly straight forward, thanks for the recommendation!

Appreciate you!!! Will attempt with this step 🫡🫡

Everything was freshly installed and updated including the OS (PopOS as I’m running it on my gaming PC)

Occam’s razor that versus the campaign was SO POORLY RAN that it didn’t inspire people to vote against a literal dictator.

Could also apply to Trump openly admitting Elon rigged the election for him and Elon coming up afterwards nervous 😭

This event has brought a lot more class consciousness to the masses than anything else imo.

Democracy seems to be crumbling pretty hard to shitty education systems combined with heavy propaganda and misinformation. I’ve been trying to think of a solution that still allows a proper resilient democratic system to thrive, but I’m not sure one exists.

Yeah 3.5 was pretty ass w bugs but could write basic code. 4o helped me sometimes with bugs and was definitely better, but would get caught in loops sometimes. This new o1 preview model seems pretty cracked all around though lol

It is unreasonable to assume a model outside of this will be attainabille within the next two centuries.

Instead let’s focus on drawing back the exploitation within our own country this century then we can shift our perspective. We will never stop exploiting the poorest countries if we’re still exploiting our poorest citizens.
