Are you joking?

Worth it how? I feel like every post that claims about how much better Linux is after handling a bunch of tweaks and hacks and workarounds to get into baseline functional doesn't really get into what actually makes it better. After all of that heavy lifting, you're already at a disadvantage and I still hear nothing of the benefits. I start to wonder if the "better" is justification for all the effort that goes into tricking it to work rather than being meaningfully superior.

Nobody said any of that. Get over your persecution complex.

Ignore this guy. I'm seeing a lot of "both sides bad" hot takes lately and I get the feeling we're seeing a lot of seeds of doubt disinformation spreading like we got back in 2016. Abandon the troll, he can't vote anyway.

I read your comment five times over and still don't know what point you're trying to make. It seems like you're insistent on being contrarian and using the "both sides" argument we got back in 2016. Luckily, being through it once made us smarter. Good try, though.

Tell your troll farm buddies to your left and right that we say hi.

Calm down there Saudi Arabia

That doesn't even make sense as a joke...

So you'd rather move 100 yards right in your analogy then by ensuring a Trump victory. Got it.

If you want to be an indignant self-righteous leftist deciding to not vote, don't be surprised when you don't get a chance to vote for a leftist candidate four years from now, or ever. You're acting like a petulant child over an extremely important election just because you can't get EXACTLY what you want.

Definitely the wrong choice for a newbie.

..."with limitations", and if you dig into the terms of use they linked it very clearly states they can revoke access to the content at any time without notice. They are legally covered here by the terms.

Biden should tell him he’ll pardon him if he drops out and then not pardon him.

Ah, the Underwood approach.

Remember all the circlejerking about how Lemmy was kinder than Reddit? Nah it's the same maybe worse, with a heavy heaping of communism sprinkled in.

OP is correct in that this approach would get more votes for Biden, but not for the reasons they think. You're not going to convert the cult members. They're long gone. Also remember that Biden got elected not because he was amazing, but because we endured 4 years of Trump and didn't want more.

What you will get, though, are people waking up after 4 years of not Trump, 4 years separation from his shit show of a presidency, realizing, "oh shit, yeah, now I remember that Trump is terrible, I need to make sure he doesn't get elected."

There was an app for the 2016 election called #NeverTrump that tried to do exactly this by means of "vote trading". Voters in swing states that wanted to vote 3rd party would get matched up with Californians willing to put in their "protest vote" in CA in exchange for voting Hillary in the swing state. Obviously it didn't work, but this isn't a new concept. The stakes are too high a third year in a row to fuck around.

Opera IS a Chromium browser, you doofus!

Lemmy moment

Imagine being this petty.

I buy Monero to have freedom from being watched by banks and governments.

Boy, do I have some very, very bad news for you...
