Thanks for the trip. Any recommendations for best value for money hardware?

Maybe related to massive mail voting - just speculation haven’t seen breakdowns.

Forget about the nominally right wing media, look at how the NY Times have covered every threat to democracy, ever. From Hitler to the business plot to Trump.

Wow, they are incredibly cheap in the US - in Australia they are nearly double the price per kg.

Pistachios seem awfully cheap from what I know pistachios to cost even considering high caloric density.

Seems unlikely given that ascetic hermits around the world are known for living to a ripe old age.

This is like naming files “final”, there’s “final final” and “final final final” after that, and so on, ad infinitum.

Impossible, they know that’s electoral suicide

Indeed. Today’s nyt poll has trump ahead in some battleground states. No time for complacency.

People that want to be able to yell “fire” in packed theatres without consequences and own nuclear weapons at home are truly the most oppressed ideology.

The focus mode ui is another bugbear - how scattered the ui is for this.

I can alter it from the bottom middle of the notification shade once set, but I can’t enable it from there - why?

At least put a line with date and time at the bottom of the notification shade so I don’t have to roll it all the way down.

Also, I’ve set triple back tap to turn on the flash… well, it only works (inconsistently) when the phone is unlocked. Why?

Advertising wouldn’t work if there was need to wait for generations to pass.

I don’t mind Ubuntu server, though you’re right you need to clean it up a bit by uninstalling snap and killing the login ad of managed k8s, the LTS versions have been quite consistently easy to deal with and stable, but then again so has Debian.

It’s also a mistruth that people don’t change their minds. Look at the rise and fall of any brand, religion or cult - some people had to change their minds.

A convicted rapist literally claimed that you’re allowed to murder babies - then we put them side by side and double check if Harris said something that was slightly exaggerated. What’s so weird about it?

It was directly targeted to the people were supporting Nikki Haley and the very few principled republicans left. “You don’t have to support this disgusting man just because you’re Republican. These famous republicans don’t”. It was a smart move to gather extra support.

If Harris made such a serious departure from reality as to claim that you’re allowed to murder live children it would be front page news for 6 months and be talked about for decades.

In iOS how hard it is to glance the time and date while watching a full screen video.

I’m also the signal guy amongst my friends and family. There are dozens of us!

I think a possibility is a series of open source anvil or nixos scripts that you can run on most hardware with minimal changes, in an extendable architecture of some kind to add or remove functionality and they perhaps get maintained by the community or some structure of the kind of Linux distributions.

This could enable people with minimal skills set up and maintain a reasonably useful but secure environment just by changing a few variables.
