X-POST, NOT OC
I'm already dreaming up a dystopian future showing the ruin of the ever growing, ever unfinished White House. Escapism here I come.

You know Carl Hiaasen? He wrote this in 1997:
Bodean James Gazzer had spent thirty-one years perfecting the art of assigning blame. His personal credo - Everything bad that happens is someone else’s fault - could, with imagination, be stretched to fit any circumstance. Bode stretched it. The intestinal unrest that occasionally afflicted him surely was the result of drinking milk taken from secretly radiated cows. The roaches in his apartment were planted by his filthy immigrant next-door neighbors. His dire financial plight was caused by runaway bank computers and conniving Wall Street Zionists; his bad luck in the South Florida job market, prejudice against English-speaking applicants. Even the lousy weather had a culprit: air pollution from Canada, diluting the ozone and derailing the jet stream… A series of unhealthy friendships eventually drew Bode Gazzer into the culture of hate and hard-core bigotry. Previously, when dishing out fault for his plight, Bode had targeted generic authority figures - parents, brothers, cops, judges - without considering factors such as race, religion or ethnicity. He’d swung broadly, and without much impact. But xenophobia and racism infused his griping with new vitriol.
Christ on a cracker. Answering these questions must feel like cosplaying in a Civil War re-enactment, as a Confederate.
The impunity! The fuck is wrong with this country?
"There's a lot of caching"
I will always love that line.
Not in my opinion! I'm always interested in art actual users here have to share.
I did not think it could be sensitive info in that way. Hopefully not. But it might explain why people aren't too open about it. Hmm.
Anyhow, do you have a bandcamp or a youtube playlist?
What you say has been the case for roughly a decade in D-land. No national majorities yet, but inching closer.
I guess they have thought long and hard on how to crack that nut, and decided that putting the failed tactic into overdrive instead of coming up with a new one is the way to go. Or it took them that long to fill the ranks with far-right people "willing to do what it takes".
No, it's all "official". Which, imo, is just as bad.

FWIW I didn't mean how complete the corruption can get, I meant how much more obvious it can get. Seems in that respect we've been at 100% for a long while now.
That said, I'm not complaining that outlets are reporting on it. The more the merrier.

Wer's nicht weiss, Peter Thiel hat während Trump1.0 aktiv in der Regierung versucht unfähige Influencer in Machtpositionen zu installieren. Damals war MAGA das noch zu viel. Jetzt ist er mehr im Hintergrund, sein Geld aber wichtiger denn je (wie schön ist es eine 100% korrupte Regierung steuern zu dürfen).
Und wenn man sich dieses Dark Enlightenment mal genauer anschaut, wird vieles, was da drüben so abgeht und komplett unsinnig erscheint, plötzlich glasklar.
Das alles möchte ich meiner Familie in leicht verdaulicher Form vermitteln, und hoffe dass es da schon etwas gibt. Auf Deutsch.
Danke im Voraus
When I switched to a True Linux* phone five years ago most projects didn't even have telephony working reliably.
I haven't been following development a lot these days, so for me it's time to ask the question again.
To qualify as a main daily driver, it should do the following reliably:
- be actively maintained
- be supported on easily obtainable** hardware
- handle standard phone calls and texting with a simple GUI
- including contacts
- support internet on mobile broadband up to 4G as well as wifi
- have a minimum set of apps or a current browser to handle basic things like email, calendar
- handle audio between calls/media etc.
And preferably it should also
- support 5G
- support VoLTE
- handle Bluetooth audio
- a working Camera app
- remote access via ssh or similar
Obviously some people will find other things more or less important, but I hope anyone gets the gist of what I'm asking for and concentrates on the larger picture more than details.
* meaning more than just the kernel - an OS that works like a standard Linux OS with familiar software, package management (preferably supporting 3rd party repos), command line access (preferably remote) etc.
** That's a little squishy. For me it includes buying used from online markets as well, and there'd be an upper price limit. But I'd also count a batch ordering system from some small manufacturer. YMMV
I chose this screenshot from the introduction rounds (4 men and 1 woman iirc). The men are tough and evil overlords, and this is the woman. Clearly still aiming at an all male audience.
Inspired by an older post here. I couldn't stand the youtubers commentary so looked for the original. It seems the first season isn't up anymore, so I watched S02E01: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=my34dTvLtLk
It's every second as dumb as you'd imagine.
Love the visuals in this show.

You know what they say: a MAGAt would eat shit just to breathe on a lib.
