I think the ghoulish cartoon you paint of Democrats foaming at the mouth at the ongoing genocide in Gaza is inaccurate. Let me be clear, there is genocide happening as part of ethnic cleansing for the entire promised land of Israel. I expect Israel to attempt to expand into Syria next, all the way up the coast to Turkey.

And yeah, USA will sell arms to whomever has the money to buy them, no matter who controls what branch of government.

Ok I am making assumptions about internal polling done by the DNC or the Harris campaign, but Pew and Gallup published poll data before the election.

It just wasn't an important issue when they looked at the polling data. The average American cares more about a lot of other stuff over ethnic cleansing in Palestine.

The incumbent administration looked weak in so many ways, that taking a stance against Israel would not have made a difference. Politically, it was just a wedge issue on the left. They needed to win the voters that moved from Biden to Trump, and the DNC was (and probably still is) entirely incapable of taking any big swings.

They lost because they actually expected to. Neither party actually gives a shit about democracy; power is just a mantle they pass back and forth. They are in a "you win this time" holding pattern waiting for the Republicans to fuck things up so badly that they can come back and win in '26 and '28.

There's absolutely no evidence that Harris getting elected would have done fuck all for Palestine.

Democrats lost because a lot of people who voted for Biden in 2020 voted for Trump in 2024. This was due to a perception of a majority of voters that Trump was going to do a better job on the economy, immigration, and foreign policy.

When you look at the polling data, the genocide of Palestinians does not rank high at all, even among Democrats.

Stop blaming people for what they do with their vote. That's the entire fucking point of a democracy. Hold the right people accountable for thinking they could coast to victory on a strategy of "not being Trump".

I'm trying to understand where you are coming from. In the general elections, I voted for Harris and Clinton after voting against them in primaries. The thing about voting and elections is that there are hundreds of variables involved, and focusing on one to pin blame on a sliver of the electorate doesn't seem like thoughtful analysis or productive to an oppositional cause.

You can point to turnouts and results from specific counties until your finger dries up and falls off, but that only highlights a neglect regarding myriad other factors that contribute to results. My opinion is that the Harris campaign ran the race the way they thought best and they lost. They lost. Sure, in sense we all lost, but they were the ones driving the bus.

The problem isn't specific to anything. It's also not specific to malware. Vulnerabilities are just as dangerous, if not more so.

Currently my situation with VI

Any FF if you set it down for a month or two.

tf? you are the one using this to aire a political grievance.

I'm not a game dev, or really a dev at all, but I started writing a text adventure game called Weird Woods.

I am not joking, but I get your joke.

"Broadly" is doing a lot of work here. There is an increasing number of media producers who print whatever they fucking feel like.

The press are broadly beholden to journalistic standards that require multiple sources to corroborate something as fact before publishing it. Us regular jack offs have no such limitations.

As to why people are speculating that he's dead? For one, the place does appear to be a literal death camp. Also, officials in the Administration have admitted he was deported "in error" (though there have been conflicting statements over this and at least one firing). Since any sane person would want to fix a mistake of this magnitude, you could see why them refusing to might make people wonder.

watabou continues to be my favorite developer ever

They could call it "sparkling deportation" /s

Omg stock markets are casinos too

It's because the potential customers for your product are asking about AI adoption. It's become a box to tick for all of the non technical goofballs making decisions.

Ever heard of xdg?

I think that there are more than ample options for non technical people, like Mint. I also don't think that those users are coming to Lemmy to stir shit, so it really doesn't make sense to me who makes these posts.

Like, are you unaware of the distribution model of FLOSS projects like Linux? Because of the lack of profit motive from selling licenses, development is funded and done by donation. Some is corporate sponsored, but not much.

When people piss and moan about the state of things, it just makes them look really foolish, because they don't know what has gone into getting it this far.

If you don't like the tool sets available, feel free to roll your sleeves up and organize a design team to change that.

It may seem hard at first, it's just that people are scared of the terminal. It's not as if widely used programs with fancy UIs aren't also complex.

I'm understanding of people who are just using their computer for web browsing and email, but I'm directing ire towards Windows power users who just expect certain tool sets to materialize for them.

Dude the only people expecting shit are the ones who get mad when they migrate to Linux and won't just learn a few simple tools to make their life easier.

Your package manager commands and options and some basic tools to troubleshoot local networking are really not that fucking hard.

Copy-pasting commands from search results instead of learning how the applications installed on their machine work. It's a lot deeper than skill issue...
