Literally nothing is disqualifying for his supporters. This is what they want and believe. This is what a lack of proper critical-thinking-based education wreaks.

If Kamala wins, and the house gets Democratic control, this nightmare, for now at least, will be over, despite any threats Trump and his ilk will lob. If either of those turn out the other way, I do not expect this will end well.

I also have family who support him. It is the worst feeling seeing people we respect (or at least had respected) turn into Trump sycophants simply because of identity politics and hatred of anyone who isn’t them.

It shows who they have been, this whole time. And it’s like being shot in the heart.

Nothing will turn his supporters. They already sold any shred of intelligence they may have had by simply supporting him. They know exactly who and what he is — and they love him for it.

Anyone who still uses Twitter either condones what Musk has done and is doing, or is completely oblivious.

I long for the day it dies the death it deserves and Musk is left holding the bag having to pay all the debt. If only he’d be forced to do that, but like all rich assholes, he’ll get out of it somehow.

I have been using Linux off and on for 25 years (using the server pretty consistently, but always hedged with the desktop for various reasons). Since Proton and GE-Proton allow every game I want to play to work in Linux, back when Recall was first announced, I decided to finally stop hedging and went all in on the Linux desktop.

And I’m not going back. Everything is working for me and Microsoft can screw off if they think I’m going to allow such blatant spyware in my house. Their telemetry was always suspect, but this is now overt despite any assurances they attempt to make.

Edit>> And their “oh you can uninstall Recall” isn’t trustworthy when they will easily reinstall it with a Windows update (they have done this in the past with other software — notably Edge and Teams).

And the moment a Republican administration is back, it’ll be gone again. This needs to be codified in law, not flip flopping every few years.

Take a look at Overseerr.

You’re welcome.

That is an enormous amount of words to say, “Elon Musk is a piece of shit.” I suppose the context helps. But as the events unfolded in real time in 2022, it was clear how much of a piece of shit he is, was, and always has been.

I long for the day his money is gone and he’s peddling his bullshit to anyone who will listen at the homeless shelter in which he resides. Wishful thinking, of course, since there are still millions of mindless stooges who think he’s Iron Man.

I have a child and own a home, and am a member of the lost generation. Fuck the Republican Party and any conservative who believes their selfish bullshit should outweigh the greater good of others.

Linus has always struck me as someone who thinks he knows what he's talking about, acts like he does, and can sell it. When, in fact, he's nothing but veneer on top of a moron. This, to me, proves it. I'm so glad I never got caught up in his cult of personality.

So where’s Lunduke’s articles on the numerous right-wing shady organizations? I haven’t listened to or read anything by this hack in many years now because of the fact that he has a clear agenda motivated by his own political bullshit.

Maybe find an article that is written by someone reputable and post that to numerous communities.
