apolitical people I guess don't think that way. They aren't in the news therefore they don't exist. I should have said as much (or brought up PSL) but I was just holding my tongue trying not to hurt feelings in the process of conveying "yikes, I would not vote for rfk". It was a family gathering of sorts so I didn't want to get too spicy and I genuinely do like this person, didn't realize they were quite that into woo about chemicals (also said aluminum is bad for you and some other stuff that I was like "is it though?")

someone told me last night that they are tempted to vote for RFK because they can't stomach voting for biden and feel RFK is good on things like being against pesticides in food, etc. They were like "I don't like that he's anti-vax buuuut"

I was like you can excuse being anti-vax? We already have one lingering deadly pandemic and it won't be the last. And that one went/continues to go real badly, even with institutions that were not, at least on paper, anti-vax, and were, at the start at least, trying to prevent harm with their limited powers and resources.

Its not like it's going to matter regardless, why vote for someone so deeply flawed?

oh that's all over the US

(also fun fact its effectiveness at all is highly questionable and they literally only put the sensors in nonwhite, overpoliced neighborhoods so no chance of alarms that don't correspond to )

I still don't fully understand how plan 9 solves these issues if I'm being honest, and I have done some light reading on it. I mean some of the ideas are solid and less of a hack than the stack built on top of linux, but what makes a usable system is critical mass more than anything ig?

:rat-salute:

I have gotten weird vibes off some of these guys so I guess I shouldn't be surprised they're reactionaries

yeah I honestly don't really know what it means so I probably shouldn't have used it as a descriptor.

I just mean software that tries to keep things simple and customizable

I like arch but never ran it on my main computer really. Mostly used KDE with it tho I dabbled in i3 once I keep getting stuck with ubuntu derivatives for "it just works" factor, and for work reasons. I really wanna get into SXMO tho (simple/suckless linux on a phone)

Yeahhhhh

He was wearing a pretty cute pastel colors head wrap thing so I kinda wanted him to not be a chud but

I turn off watch history entirely

It nags you to turn it back on and completely disables the homepage recommended/popular feed but I've grown to like it a lot. I still go through my subscriptions tab to find stuff to watch, and I still get related videos on individual videos that I watch that I can hop to if I want to explore outside that bubble of existing subscriptions. It's like going back to 2014 youtube or whenever they started making the homepage purely algorithmic

dies in office, special election, gets replaced by someone much more ghoulish? Sounds about right to me

Saw a guy yesterday on the bus reading The Second Civil War: Arming for Armageddon by Steve Willis and still trying to decide if he was a nazi or a lib or a comrade. The book seems to be a lib take on the racial tensions of the late 60s but I could be misreading based on summaries. But he was specifically reading the chapter on weapons, was looking a little bit tacticool (nothing overbearing) with his clothing choices, and had yellow/gold patches on his bag that appeared to be cyrillic symbols of some sort, but I didn't get a good look.

He didn't seem like a typical chud but that area has a lot of ukrainian immigrants, so in context I had a little azov alarm bell go off in my head. probably didn't help that his head was shaved.
