Zoom and Google Meets have both worked better for me.

Probably to avoid "Facebook" people (angry middle aged Republicans and easy to swindle old folks).

It's a small win but I'll take it.

March and rally to protest Trump and the two-party war machine

Mass protests against the two-party system. Perhaps we can get some actual representation next election.

instead of throwing a known criminal in jail.

All they had to do is throw in jail is correct. But no, they kept him around and used him as the "orange boogyman" so they can campaign without campaign promises.

One of the reasons why I took a break from Lemmy for election week is I stopped being able to tell Hasbera from Democrats. In fact, the Hasbera are still trolling on Lemmy and reddit, blaming Palestinians for Harris's lost.

We have been arguing Democrats are a party without a people for a long time. At this point, I honestly feel anything I type is lost to the void

I asked my coworkers who are mostly black and Puerto Rican (some of them even converted to Islam; none of them seem like atheists). They all agree that Trump will abolish taxes on overtime and forced child support (they swore that they would still pay for what their children actually need; I guess I gave them a "look"). Honestly, I couldn't find a real source of Trump even promising these things. I wouldn't be surprised if it was made up on social media.

It seems that many non-white urban folks voted for Trump. It seems most people just want a promise of food and shelter if they put in the work (people are working so many hours now). There's probably a logical reason why neither party has a platform anymore.

just the kind of person who enjoys being a contrarian

I thought the end was slightly passive aggressive. It wasn't bad at all.

The other user did namecall first but I think we of the Linux community have to remember we used free software out of ethics. Things seem more rosy and user-friendly comparatively now but you have to remember the people who have the same ethics will "stick it out" regardless of the end user experience.

I thought your first post was slightly aggressive but this post goes too far. We should be preaching the ethics of free software first; while always remembering everyday ethics so we don't end up as hypocrites.

From what I'm hearing, Microsoft wants to ban anti-cheat and plenty of other kernel-space software. They are possible security issues (along with all of Windows).

Well, in that case, I'm happy that many of these accounts of, "I'm going to get mine, so certain populations are out of luck" are just alts.

Louis Rossman discuses many design flaws made by Apple over the years throughout their entire catalog.

This video also came out a few days after I praise the Macbook Pro series for being higher quality then their competition as well. 😂 🫣

 

Israeli forces ignited a devastating fire at Ramallah and al-Bireh's main vegetable market in the occupied West Bank on Thursday that has destroyed dozens of shops owned by Palestinians and caused millions of shekels in losses.

Troops raided the neighbouring West Bank cities at dawn, firing live ammunition, stun grenades and tear gas in residential areas and the local market, known locally as al-Hisbah.

Wooden carts caught on fire and the flames spread throughout the market and to nearby commercial buildings, wounding at least one person and ravaging over 100 stalls and shops, according to al-Bireh's acting mayor, Robin al-Khatib.

 

The U.N. humanitarian affairs office has recorded 650 attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Oct. 7, harming residents and property. It says settlers have killed at least nine Palestinians in the territory and Israeli security forces have killed more than 400 Palestinians in that time.
