Why are you booing? Oh yeah, right. Because it's a shallow and superficial take - but still, the boy has a point.

The Dems have been neglecting democratic process within their own ranks, in effect alienating their constituency - and it has been going on long before Palestine hit the mainstream. The last time the Dems held a primary was in 2008.

All of this has culminated in a disenfranchised voter base that just doesn't give af about the dems - and it's well deserved.

Not just that, but a post above this one says how the constituency may have lost their faith in the democrat party and why the elite rhetoric used against democrats sort of has legs to stand on. If it's just a central body that decides the candidate and the constituency has no say, why even care? The choice has been made for you.

Awwww =3 poor widdle doom scroller. Is there too much politics? Well tough tits, youngin! Everything is political and you should be able to accept it popping up everywhere.

As for fatigue from politics that try to subvert and enrage you, have you tried not listening to said politics? What? You watch Tucker Carlson?! GTFO here...

Rob the place. Like constantly. Make a sport out of it.

Like US states were originally against state police, because their local sheriff and local "court systems" did just fine. Can you guess why state police and also inter-state police collaboration became a thing?

If you said to catch freemen and return them to slavery for jaywalking or looking at a white woman the wrong way, you'd sadly be correct.

That's what they do. Find effective government and then sabotage it so that they can shape it according to their agenda.

The IRS is a great example of this. Make taxing slow, painful and expensive, and then turn around to complain about taxes so you can give hefty tax rebates to the rich and prevent money from going to infrastructure and instead funnel it to the same rich people via subsidies.

It's so fantastic to see democratic mechanism get gamed for the power games of a petty few.

Come on, guys. It's just a bit of cultural genocide, abuse, mind control and forced labour. It's not that bad. /s

See, the thing that pisses me off and is the reason why I moved away from Fedora (Silverblue) about a week ago is that Fedora is the base of RHEL. Future RHEL's will be based off Fedora. The community therefor is providing free development for their pricey enterprise solution.

Now they're adding insult to injury by wanting to enable telemetry metrics on the by default, claiming that the user has to opt in to report anything, but the fact is that the ordinary user might be paying that much attention. Sometime after the EULA might change and all that tasty dara will probably be harvested.

This is the threat of it. The Fedora community has been one of the best, if not the best Linux distribution community out there. Now RedHat/IBM is sowing the seeds of distrust and will in all likelihood transform Fedora into a husk of its former self, much like Cannonical did to Ubuntu.

It's becoming such a drag to see that these corporate entities are turning tail and taking their community projects in the same direction as Microsoft, Google and Apple.

My dude, if you find you need to "babysit" Fedora or Ubuntu, I'm kind of doubting your tech literacy - i.e the basic level of tech literacy you need to operate macOS or Windows with.

And also, just because something is UNIX doesn't make it good. Shout outs to HPUX.

Also, Apple is tracking you on macOS and iOS, similarly to Google and Microsoft. They call it telemetry, but are you SURE they don't collect identifying information and canvas you?

Hachi Machi! He looks like Jon Lovitz if you spray painted his hair orange...

It stinks!

Thus the tradition was carried over from the dark place. Go back? Namaste.

I'm convinced it's just Shuttleworth with remote shell access to your system via the official snapd package and he's just installing stuff for the hell of it.
