I do grind my beans haha.

Idk but I use NixOS.

It would matter if they ultimately decided to break away from the Dems.

I am not down with this name. Can we just keep calling them scumbags?

1. Not intellectuals. Fucking obvious.
2. Not on the dark web. They’re on YouTube, Twitter, and Spotify.

Do you mean to say that AOC and Bernie are unknowingly treated as pawns by the Democrat party or that they are knowingly misleading voters into thinking the party leans further left than reality?

I would assume if anything it’s the former, and Democrat idealism has lost against the reality that a third labor party cannot take root while first-past-the-post is the rule of the game.

Wireguard is p2p.

EDIT: I guess the point is it’s doing peer discovery without static public IPs or DNS. Pretty cool!

That’s rough. I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to cope with these limitations, but so far at least I’m happy with the bandwidth.

Interesting. I was told I could purchase a static IP from my technician. But I just decided to use Cloudflare DDNS.

I have quantum fiber. 1 Gb up+down. No data cap. $80/mo “price for life.”

The only downside is it’s still IPv6 Rapid Deployment.

I think ranked choice voting and the popular vote interstate compact can happen at the state level. Just needs more local campaigning.

Then people would feel more empowered to vote for who they really want. I think that would be a big push towards nominating an actual progressive candidate.

I don’t really like the “as intended” take because it fails Hanlon’s Razor. Even Karl Marx understood that Capitalism is doomed to a crisis and revolution cycle, not because that’s what anyone wants, but because it is a law of nature.

The same is true of first-past-the-post voting.

The resolve to tear it down is still plausible though. I don’t know whether it is possible to escape capitalism without a revolution. The alternative is a perfect storm of progressive legislation that seems unlikely to occur in my lifetime.

I’ll move my foot to its dedicated spot in your ass.

I would vote for Bernie in a heartbeat.

He seems to always be on the right side of history, he understands the root causes of our national crises, and he has solutions.

Problem: Two-party system, voter apathy.

Solution: Ranked choice voting, remove electoral college (popular vote interstate compact).

Problem: Bought elections.

Solution: Repeal Citizens United.

Problem: Federal deficit spending.

Solution: Reform government contracts with private corpos so we’re not getting gouged. Repurpose military budget. Tax the rich.

Problem: Ignorant and misinformed voting population.

Solution: More school funding, pay teachers more.

Problem: All surplus value is siphoned away from the working class.

Solution: Tax incentives for employee-owned companies. More support for unions.

Problem: Consumer price gouging.

Solution: Break up monopolies, punish anti-competitive behavior.

Problem: Irresponsible banking.

Solution: Un-repeal Glass-Steagall.

Problem: Expensive healthcare.

Solution: Universal healthcare. Don’t even try to tell me we can’t afford it.

Both Clinton and Reagan were economic neoliberals. It is neoliberal policy that has fucked us.

Is this significantly different from the QBitTorrent search engine?

BTW if you end up with an impacted ear drum or you just want to deeply clean your ears: peroxide. Just tilt your head sideways and pour it in. Let it sit for a while and it will break up enough wax to dislodge it. You might find that you can hear much better after.

Maybe I just don’t think “country” == “government”, and I try to be careful with my phrasing so as not to make blanket pejorative statements about people.

India is pretty much a piece of shit country

All while being racist as hell

Cognitive dissonance much?

I’m leery of Larry.

Agreed.

And sometimes code is not the right medium for communicating domain knowledge. For example, if you are writing code the does some geometric calculations, with lot of trigonometry, etc. Even with clear variable names, it can be hard to decipher without a generous comment or splitting it up into functions with verbose names. Sometimes you really just want a picture of what’s happening, in SVG format, embedded into the function documentation HTML.
