democracy is just going to end sooner or later anyway

This is speculative, and a bad reason to not vote on purpose. The US has a flawed democracy, and it can get better. Voting won't "fix" our government alone, but not voting is a guaranteed way to let others choose and vote for you.

I'm not sure what you're alluding to. One party probably won't win every election until the end of days, nor should it. However, votes are one way that we have a voice in government, and your government represents you less when your voice isn't heard.

Same thing as every election: vote!

It's due to shitty rendering of Markdown. You're doing it right. File bugs where you see it rendered funny.

I made a graphic about why this is important

You're talking to a 40 year old with no future working three minimum wage jobs who will be homeless if any of them let him go.

Well that's a wild assumption.

Be kinder to fellow working class people. Hold the capitalists responsible for creating this situation in the first place.

I am kind, I promise. Voices often get raised at me when confirming my order, and I stay calm anyway. I'm not obligated to get yelled at for simply trying to place an order.

systemd daemons are configured via /etc/systemd, and systemd itself lives in /usr/lib/systemd/systemd. How can systemd run or start the configured services without the root disk mounted? The initrd (from the boot partition) only contains enough of an environment to call the entrypoint for the init system, not contain the entirety of systemd (or the configured services).

I own the LCD deck and goofed off with the OLED deck. The screen is perfect, just like I imagined. But the thing that caught me off guard was how much lighter it feels. They say it's 30% or something lighter, but because of the way that you typically hold it, it feels half the weight. The joysticks also have a deep recess on the inside, which makes your thumbs slip a lot less.

Overall, I would say that if you currently have a Deck and play it every day, if you can sell your old one for a reasonable price, the cost is probably worth it. If you're a casual gamer and you only play every so often, the upgrades on the new Deck are great to have but probably not worth the cost. As a new purchase, OLED without question.

The root filesystem mounted fine. That's why the init is starting with all the services on the root disk.

That's not a kernel panic

I have never heard of a router phoning home to report traffic.

How so?

Great to see clean energy being expanded, too!

Nice to see Firefox in the wild 🙃

Not only am I vegetarian, but I'm queer, too. That place is great at destroying families. I wouldn't eat there even if I loved eating chicken.

I'm a vegetarian. Ordering an impossible burger off the broiler from Burger King always seems to make the drive-thru person want to fight me, for some reason. They're often too occupied to hear what I'm saying well, and they don't always put it on the screen right away. When I ask to confirm it, ~80% of the time they give me lip service.

This is my metric. As long as Burger King keeps giving me shit, I'm in favor of AI replacing their jobs. If they were kinder, I would never think this. To be honest, this experience has kept me from going to Burger King most times. Try ordering this at 10 places that aren't dead and you'll see what I mean.

I asked an important question that was not designed to be petulant in any way. I'll be polite and not bother you if you refuse to answer it due to emotional reasons. Thank you for your conversation.

You didn't answer the question.

If you consider all the people you don't want to win, are they equal to you? Or are there some people that you want to win less than others?
