  • "If we don’t hold our own accountable and show them they’re replaceable, why would they court our votes and not the racists?”

    I mean thats exactly it. If they’ve taken your vote for a given, and they will if they can, they won’t compete for it. And it loses elections.

    aaaaaAAAANNnnndd

    When it is feckless Democrats who do get into office, and they do jack about shit… Where does that leave us, on the ground, trying to make the argument that people should vote for this party. When Schumer and Jefferies just roll over and show their bellies to the Trumps of the worlds, how the hell do they expect me to make an argument to an unconvinced voter who doesn’t believe that government can be effective, how do I convince that voter that things can be different?



  • Hmm. Well I was on a tear of trying new operating systems trying to get a bit of bleeding edge kit working. I was about to be traveling and I needed it to just work. Bazzite had a release specific to my model… and it all seemed hunky dory, until it wasn’t and I couldn’t get in and wrench. I think in that week I probably went through 20+ different ISO’s and install scripts trying to get to an install that would let me use the GPU acceleration I paid for. Tried fedora, bazzite (and bazzite did work, but I had issues with the wifi/ blue tooth driver, but I had to do containers/ sandboxes to actually use RoCM), ubuntu, others.

    I ended up on Ubuntu for this machine because at least I can wrench on things, and I wasn’t prepared to take the Arch jump off the diving board (at least not on a new machine before traveling). And its been “fine”.

    But I genuinely do no like the Ubuntu experience. Once I can slick this machine (when I’m done with my current project), I’m going to go to Fedora because that should allow me to stay with the most up to date kernel.
