Recently switched a system from arch to tumbleweed. After another required manual update intervention. So far I quite like it. And if as claimed is stable enough to not have me having to troubleshoot updates. I will likely be switching several more. It’s not quite as on the bleeding edge as arch. But it still has plasma 6.4 and blender 4.4 etc which are the big things for me.

CBS and it’s reliability on anything to do with news is now a joke. They’re blown up any credibility that they may have had left. Turn themselves into a punchline for profits as capitalists are wont.

Anyone here want to hear a joke? Turn on CBS.

And tankies will ironically still hate it.

The first of many. Because Neville CBS Chamberlain played themselves.

Politics isn’t a 1 dimensional spectrum. Even 2 dimensions can still be inadequate. Though it is a much better fit. Suficed to say the X axis is generally going to be economic orientation. And the Y axis social orientation. Economic being socialist to capitalist. Social being authoritarian to libertarian. But even then, going to far along social spectrum one direction makes the distinction of capitalism or socialism moot. Authoritarians will use whatever gives them power. They aren’t specifically FOR either. The further you go towards libertarianism however, the less and less feasible something like capitalism gets.

Fascists don’t care, and we all know they’re hypocrites. But far too many people, who should know better, don’t. So it absolutely needs to be restated constantly.

It may be your setup. I’ve used rustdesk to connect from an Intel with an Nvidia card to an Intel with an AMD card. And from an Intel to An Arm based raspberry pi. From my Android phone to all of them and from them to the Android phone. I’ve never had an issue.

The thing to check out is if you have any firewalls enabled. Much like forwarding ports for remote X sessions. You will have to forward ports for VNC or rust desk

Without X there is no X forwarding. So that’s pretty much it. Honestly it’s been over 20 years since I used a remote x-session much. For modern tasks especially it’s not as functional as even vnc or something like rust desk.

Outside those playing around with retro systems and software locked to them. Or a few isolated archaic business systems. Most will never notice the difference.

20 years ago no one would have ever heard of a senate parliamentarian. And now the system has collapsed so far that he’s literally the person holding back further collapse right now. It’s just fucking wild to think about it.

In a reaction Dries Van Langenhove said that “It is a dark day for free speech”.

He’s ironically correct. Free speech is still supposed to have consequences.

Who is it that keeps screeching One China with regards to China’s neighbors? Oh yeah that was china. Their neighbors should arm themselves to the teeth. If China wants to reduce hostilities they should stop announcing and posturing their intent.

Why? Everyone knows Democrats are shit. How is continuing to attack them going to achieve anything? We need to be the ones to actually offer something better and viable more broadly.

Okay, and? Where did I ever give the impression that I had any sort of respect or confidence in them to think that they could protect anyone, even themselves. Was it that confidence inspiring phrase of hoisting another turd of a campaign over the Finish Line just to block the fascist?

Yes, they and Republicans both helped to march us to this cliff. How does jumping off the cliff help us? How did it help anyone.

It’s seriously not worth engaging with them as a party. We need to take power back from the national parties at local levels across the country. But their dead weight can still be useful. Even if it’s just inertia to slow a slide into complete collapse.

I never said it was. Why would you even think that that’s what I was implying? Acknowledging reality is not endorsing it.

During the presidential election we had the choice to either hold our ground or make things worse. Between the Democrats Optical and rhetorical failures. Plenty were also more concerned with virtue signaling to attack them. Rather than do what was achievable. Hoisting that turd over the Finish Line just to spite the fascist and keep them from Power.

Trust me as an anarchist I want to see every National level politician out of the job. And most in the state as well. It’s got nothing to do with supporting them. Just acknowledging the reality of the situation.

Agreed. That’s why no one’s making that argument. Despite people acting like people are.

Just gonna put this out there. More Americans are sexist than socialist.

Yeah. Incumbents often run unopposed for their party. And sometimes even completely. Even good politicians should fend off primary challenges. It helps keep them focused on serving who the power belongs to lest it be taken from them.

As Will Rogers once stated

I’m not a member of an organized political party. I’m a Democrat.

And so we’re republicans. The genocide in Palestine literally was not on the ballot. No matter who won it was going to continue.

The only thing that was on the ballot was whether we were going to bring the genocide home and make it worse or not. Spoiler.

Now not only are we not having the minimal to no pushback against Israel that we had before. We have Trump actively enabling Israel and pushing to go to war in Iran. The worst possible option. And the Democrats definitely did plenty to bring it on themselves. But a lot of people were manipulated into turning the genocide in Palestine into an attack issue specifically against democrats. So effectively. That a number of Palestinians voted for Trump thinking he would be better about Palestine.
