Trump was appealing enough to win. Was it that he was actually good or are a good portion of voters just fucking idiots?
capital 1d ago • 95%
Logically, yeah.
But if these voters were logical they would realize the issue with FPTP voting systems and not fuck with 3rd parties in the first place.

Nah just “puppet of Israel” reminded me a lot of that article.
Really similar, right? “Both parties are in Israel’s pocket”, “we should totally vote third party”. Really interesting.

I’m not getting an answer am I?

I don't *want* either genocidal establishment party elected, but one will be regardless of what I want
Thinly veiled both sides shit. ^
Third party votes fall squarely into knowingly assisting a Trump win. And it’s really stupid.
Just say you want Trump.

Not racist. Not uniquely stupid. And not BECAUSE they’re Arab.
Anyone who acts knowingly to assist another Trump presidency is a fucking moron. White, black, Asian, Arab, Hispanic, etc. don’t give a shit.
To be frank, this sounds like an excellent tactic to silence criticism of acts that would support another Trump presidency. It’s even posed as coming from the left which is genius.
I’m coming away from this thinking you actually want him elected.

My answer for why Arab-Americans are abandoning Harris is because they don't want to vote for genocide of their friends, family, and people of a similar background, and cannot support the Democrats because of this.
And doing this which could assist a Trump win is very, very stupid.
That is, unless they believe Trump will improve things abroad and at home? But that’s another kind of stupid. (<—- White christians believe this and they are stupid for it)

You are the reason that word is losing meaning.
Coming from people like you, it means literally nothing.

If the answer to people being hurt internationally is to make moves not to stop that but to continue it AND add damage domestically, that’s fucking stupid.
Anyone not voting Harris is fucking stupid. Don’t care what color, sex, nationality, cool aid color you are.
My calling non-Harris voters stupid has absolutely nothing - ZERO - to do with race.

White christians were always Trump. What the hell do you mean?
Yes. In the same way white christians are when they vote against their interests.
It’s equal opportunity stupid. What about this aren’t you getting?

Me:
It’s NOT uniquely stupid. Dummies vote against their interests all the time (see comment about white Christians).
You:
Your answer is that it's because Arab-Americans are uniquely stupid

Saving this comment for later to come back and say I told you so after either the Dem or Rep nominee wins the presidency.
capital 5d ago • 50%
False dichotomy
A dichotomy, yes. A false one? No. I personally guarantee the next president will be either the Dem or Rep nominee.
Save this post and come back after the election. If you believe differently, I will give you very good odds on a bet.
The rest of your comment is common “muh both sides” dog shit.
capital 5d ago • 100%
I think that’s a statement about how other people's shitty voting decisions affect everyone.
Believe me, if I could just choose the president (life raft) myself with no other input, I would.
capital 5d ago • 25%
No.
Given the restraints (either Dem or Rep will win) the logical thing to do is harm reduction. That is, unless you believe Trump will be better in this regard in which case I don’t think we’ll agree on much.
Now answer mine.

Duke, a proudly antisemitic white supremacist, endorsed Trump in 2016 and 2020, but on his radio show yesterday, he slammed Trump's "subservience to Israel and to the Jewish lobby" and said only Stein would stand up to Israel and its "genocide" against Palestinians.
Weird… sounds like a lot of “leftists” on lemmy…

At home I have a Das Keyboard with Cherry MX browns and they feel great. I think this is the quickest I've been able to type on any keyboard. I type a lot for my new job and no one cares if I bring in my own keyboard but for my coworkers sake, I don't think I want to bring in browns. I'm a heavy typer and frankly I'm loud on browns. I searched for quieter keys and found Cherry MX Red Silents (Durgod keyboard) but after typing on it a few days at work, I'm making way more mistakes, I'm typing slower, and my hands are more fatigued. That's when I learned about linear vs tactile... I think tactile is what I need. So with that, I'm looking for: Need: - Tactile - Light switches (should not take much force to activate? idk. Browns are good for me, for reference) - Quiet - 100% layout Want: - Switches I can put the Draula keycaps on that my friend bought me. I just know they fit fine on Cherry MX Browns and Red Silent. - USB-C port. I have a coiled cable I want to use already. Nice to have: - Hot swappable PCB Open to other info I'm not thinking about. Edit: After looking around some more this evening, I'm leaning toward grabbing a Keychron K10 Pro, grabbing some Zilents V2's and sticking those in there, then popping on the caps I have. This would be the most building I've done for a keyboard. See any issues with that? **Update** Based on the recommendations here and some other threads I read, I went with a Keychron Q6 Max and the Zilent V2's. I confirmed that my poor speed and accuracy on the (previous) new board I had gotten was definitely due to my not being used to linears. After a day of using the new Keychron with Zilents I did a typing test and got a new PB. Thanks for all the suggestions! Now I'm in trouble because I want to replace my home keyboard with the same...
I recently switched from Windows 10 to ZorrinOS (after a quick detour to NixOS... OOF) and in the course of setting things up how I like, I ran across some interesting stuff relating to flatpaks and shortcuts. I wanted to get this written to provide a resource for other people who might be switching. This is a guide to making a shortcut to launch a particular Firefox profile, on a Ubuntu based distro, while running Firefox as a flatpak. This is just how I did it, put the files where you want. 1. Make a directory to hold the launch script and a shortcut icon. My script: ``` #!/bin/sh flatpak run org.mozilla.firefox -p youtube ``` Obviously, make it executable. Because Firefox is running as a flatpak we can't just launch it using `firefox`. They're actually stored in `/var/lib/flatpak/app` and can be launched like this. https://opensource.com/article/21/5/launch-flatpaks-linux-terminal 2. Create a text file in the Desktop directory with a `.desktop` extension like this: ``` [Desktop Entry] Name=YouTube Comment= Launches Firefox Youtube profile Exec=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/firefox-youtube.sh Icon=/home/user/Documents/firefox-youtube/youtube-app-icon.png Terminal=false Type=Application ``` https://www.baeldung.com/linux/desktop-entry-files 3. Once saved, make it executable. Right click > "Allow Launching". Done. Just for fun, [this](https://icon-library.com/images/youtube-app-icon-vector/youtube-app-icon-vector-0.jpg) is the image I like for it.

I seem to remember this was a Reno 911! episode but my YouTube searching hasn't been able to find the episode/clip. I think they were chasing a naked man but none of the cops wanted to touch him for obvious reasons. They made a half-hearted attempt to cuff/capture him but as soon as he crossed out of their jurisdiction (county line or something) they throw their hands up because that's not their job anymore.
I want to move one of my more important guides to Lemmy (lemmy.ml/datahoarder) but when I paste the guide in and click Create, the "Create" button just spins endlessly. Did I hit some character limit? It's 13,944 char and 204 lines.
