You mean the organization that Obama and Biden supported, and used to disappear people?

I rewatched https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Measure_of_a_Man_%28Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation%29 a few years ago when ChatGPT started blowing up. It aged pretty well, IMO

I don't think "sucks so much more" is all that accurate though. Both candidates do want to fuck the world.

Where were the checks and balances when the Democrats were Drone-Striking kids? Where were the checks and balances when the Democrats were mass-deporting people? Where were the Checks and balances for torture programs, killing americans, giving our tax money to their rich friends, building out surveillance programs, backing a genocide, etc?

Yes, one side is worse, but the supposed "opposition" is doing everything they can to get as close to the worse side as they can.

I have to be oncall sometimes, and my teammates know that when they hear "kburgugh", that means I'll be online in a few minutes

It looks like someone made a fork based on a toddler's drawing of a fork

Hillary won the popular vote, and Obama was one of our most popular presidents. While yes, sexism and racism played a role in Harris' failure, it wasn't the main problem. Her being a terrible politician, running a terrible campaign, on the coat-tails of a terrible president was the main problem.

Do you mean Subverse? Searching for Subspace is just redirecting me to Subverse, but maybe I'm missing it

Nice! I use Debian all-day every-day, and I think it's a great starting distro, if a bit dated sometimes. I'd be a little cautious of Debian 13 as it just came out of testing, so it might have some lingering bugs. But if it works for you, then it works :)

Don't let the haters get you down. As a long time linux-enthousiast, you are 100% correct. It absolutely still has troubles and doesn't "just work". it's a lot better than it used to be, and it's on a great upwards trajectory!

But we as a community are overly dismissive of real problems, and I think that does a lot of damage to our reputation.

And yet you'll bang your head against the wall of third parties that have failed to achieve anything whatsoever in over 150 years.

Yes. I still think that is going to be faster than the Democratic leadership changing their core values.

I don't know of any who were targeted merely for speech...

This happened during the anti-genocide college protests. He also arrested people who protested his speeches.
