Oh in that case, I think you sometimes do need a specific version of the radio firmware, but in my experience it’s always just a specific version of the vendor’s firmware. The Lineage guide page for the specific device will cover that if it’s required.

Knowing Erdogan, this could easily be inturpretted as a “KYS” message.

What do you mean by that? I assume you don’t mean radio firmware.

Lots of other brands, Lineage supports hundreds of models.

Of course. Re: My thoughts on the rhetorical questions… This is what hierarchy does. It makes those it forces and coerces abandon their ethics. That is at it’s core what it is designed to do. People with no ethics do as they’re told. So long as there is a power hierarchy there will be unacceptably prevalent abuse and assault. The only reason I don’t propose overthrowing the government and enacting town-to-town horizontal communes as a solution is because I’m looking for something ‘realistic’ to propose in reply since the larger conceptual issue is far outside the realm of partisan politics. /anarchist

Yeah I get you then. It’s maddening.

I think most realistically, the path to evicting sexual assault from government is to get the parties themselves to enact background checks on their anointed candidates, and no-excuses dismissals of those credibly accused. That includes not looking back at Al Franken with regret.

Ironically they won’t do that because of the nature of power, so you have to replace them from the outside.

Which is a rocky road because as we’re seeing, outsiders certainly are not and will never be held to such standards either.

So what are you advocating for then? Voters abstain? Voters pick Collins?

Sorry I understand the outrage but is it just too much for someone to admit they’d make a weighed choice between two bad options? What’s missing?

This was a cynical reference to Biden 2020, I don’t think it’s a stretch to assume that the money behind Planter oppo research that lands in the NYTimes is the same money that was behind Biden. Not that I don’t find the SA allegations against both men credible, I certainly do.

It’s just that only one of the Maine candidates has a long and well-documented track record of voting for fascist policies that have negatively affected millions of women. They’re a known quantity, verifiably and provably awful.

Side eyes from anyone wouldn’t stop me from making what I felt was the less harmful choice, but I’m not a Maine resident.

The last time I had to vote in a federal election between a Republican and a Democrat man with sexual assault allegations, I was getting scolded and yelled at by Democrats on the internet for considering abstaining. So just in case those scolds are still around, I recommend still voting Platner.

It would probably split the centrist dem vote too, fml

I guess we’re never gonna get to see that super futuristic PS9 that was envisioned back in that old PS2 commercial.

DNC leadership is pathetic. They have the most popular political leader in the country standing right alongside them and they can’t even support the guy, all because they lack the spine to tell their Israeli paylords to suck nut. Fucking corpo leech cowards.

Maybe take a hint and stop using that platform. It’ll be a lot better for your health.

Correct. It’s not just Trump, it’s an entire generations-long policy norm to suppress peace and sovereignty across the middle east that passively scapegoats and endangers jews all over the world as consequence, perhaps intentionally. Pretty sure that Israeli money still funds the majority of both Republican and Democrat campaigns in congress. We need a whole-house cleaning, Israeli lobby funds from any sources need to be popularly seen by voters as a hard disqualification. Jewish voices that oppose genocidal Israeli domination narratives need to be amplified and normalized.

“Unstable as hell”, “breaks for no reasons”, “seriously insecure”, other distros “work perfectly”. I find this kind of uninformed hyperbole tiring, but probably entirely descriptive of your own user journey. Arch is intended for technical users, not “average users” (Whatever that means), and people should not be recommending that their uninitiated friends start their Linux journey there unless they’re prepared and capable of providing technical support. I used Fedora and Ubuntu for decades before moving to Arch a few years ago, and I’ve never loved an OS more than I love this one. But that’s my journey.

By the time your family immigrated here the US had already been slaving an entire population for over a century, undid all social reconstruction in the wake of the war required to end that slaving, and was just about winding down it’s genocide of half a continent’s worth of indigenous tribes. If you feel like the US stood for something good back then, what do you think is so different about today?

Thank you!

Or if you’re me, yay -Syu and wait 4 fucking hours (Because you barely ever remember to do it).
