Democracy! (but not in the workplace where you spend most of your awake time)

a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups

This tracks.

This tool is very powerful! Just what I needed, thanks again. Turns out you need pandoc 3+ and linux mint repo has 2.9, so after upgrading that rga started working, but it still throws this error from time to time:


parseSpine
Error: copying adapter output to stdout

Caused by:
    0: subprocess: Command { std: "pandoc" "--from=epub" "--to=plain" "--wrap=none" "--markdown-headings=atx", kill_on_drop: false }
    1: ExitStatus(unix_wait_status(16384))

I will have to keep looking into it, I'm not sure if this error stops the search in it's tracks.

I was trying to do that but I noticed ls | grep searchterm just searches the book TITLES for searchterm. Is this possible, to search the text of ebooks?

So the real victims here are the Jews? Still?

Yes, I see your point. Very true about "moving to the right".

"People need to vote, and they need to vote effectively. If you’ve got ranked choice, great, vote for the candidates that represent your views the best. If you have a first past the post system, then you need to vote for the least worst candidate that can actually win, even if they don’t align with your morals or ethics."

This I think is one thing what Progressives in America have been working on, without the help of the Democrats (also healthcare, labour protection etc.). Then when the election comes, Democrats are surprised they did not get more votes and did not motivate people to the polls. Then they blame Progressives, who they have been ignoring, for not voting for them even though Republicans have a worse guy. So, Democrats don't serve the poeple and are sad when they don't get votes, is that right? Also, Democrats only listen to campaign advice from donors, even though donors are not a majority of the base... and then surprised when they get less votes? It just seems absurd to blame anyone but the Party. It is plain and simple bad politicking. Even blaming Trump supporters makes more sense, but they might actually fight back.

Did you vote for Kamala? Or did you allow trump to get elected? Guess what, your hands are stained with innocent blood either way.

What is the point of this? You are saying the vote didn't matter and berating the person for (your assumption) their vote at the same time.

You Americans need to unite, not squabble like this. Unless of course you are supporting Trump's agenda, then it is good to squabble and make sure people stay divided.

Isn't this like shouting at the cashier because the supplier raised the prices?

Fortunately I don't live under Democracy with American Characteristics (and may be I am missing something here) but I am pretty sure there is a huge machination behind the "sacrifice countless numbers of people to do it" that has nothing to with you or the person you comment to. Seems like you are on the same side.

A lot of these comments in this post seem insane but what it looks like is that non-principled people just can not understand principled people. The non-principled people hurt themselves (and many others) in their confusion.

I have to update a phone that currently has LOS, and degoogle it at the same time. If I just upgrade to the latest version (by flashing) and not install mind the gapps, is it basically a degoogled phone? It seems that installing /e/ over the current LOS would require me to flash stock rom first, which takes more time. The current LOS version on the phone was just 1 or 2 iterations below the latest version, 20 or 21 I don't remember.

TIA
