Really enjoy the optimism in your reply, it’s so refreshing to encounter, thank you!

Definitely agree on the stated challenges, and the strategy seems sound. But of course, there is the big murky problem area…what to do after gaining a foothold in the House? Justice Dems really seem to lose their momentum after getting their seat. The influence and coercion of the established body politic is clearly quite strong, and must be quite difficult to resist once one is awash in it day-in day-out.

I think, as you mention, a solid foundation of investors/supporters is a crucial piece to this puzzle. I wonder if there are specific character traits we should be looking for in those early-career local politicians that would indicate some potential resilience at the federal level. There have been a few solid and sensible pledges I’ve seen floating around over the years, but their non-binding nature means they consistently fall flat.

He needs to be drawn and quartered tbh

I do declare, spoken like true landed gentry m’lad.

How much revenue do you think it would generate if streamed on ThreadsLive?!

DeSantis can’t even figure out how to don a face mask properly. Trump is just following orders from his fin daddies. Pence is captain oblivious. What a clown show.

Seconding Insomnia. Sleeker interface imo, only thing it’s lacking in feature parity afaik is the cookie sniffer, but you can grab what you need in postman or js console and then plug it into insomnia np.

Also, cURL :]

Can’t speak to whether it’s helpful for the system76 devs, but I use it on a dell xps and it’s awesome. Mostly just in it for the window manager though.

There are some tricky things to navigate hardware wise (fingerprint reader, etc.) but those type of things are compatibility issues across all distros. In my case, and often with other hardware, the manufacturer or the community does release drivers to support nix platform, but you may have to build from source. You know, typical linux stuff.
