Give me a fucking break. Hillary was not a shit candidate. She’s arguably the most qualified candidate in recent elections, probably more so than Obama. And I don’t say that as someone who agrees with most of her policies but as someone who respects her intelligence and experience. She would have made an excellent president.

Leaving aside our broken system, she lost because she is a woman and a lot of people can’t stand that.

How does this relate to Brave browser?

Edit: I had no idea about the CEO. So yeah, not gonna ever use that.

Who’s having a tantrum?

It’s a stupid take. Objectively stupid.

Have a nice day!

In many ways, it’s as bad for lgbtq+ people as it was in the 90s,

NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE. Absolutely stupid take.

Celery loses most of it’s flavor quickly after harvest. When it’s actually fresh it’s extremely tasty.

Maybe this doesn’t count but… I once had a manager who had “Master of All He Surveys” on his business card.

We didn’t get a long too well.

How did you get my cat?

I have one more thing to say before I ignore you.

What galls me is not that you feel that voting makes no difference. I think that’s juvenile and so provably false but it’s a feeling I can at least empathize with. From a narrow uninformed perspective in a limited time frame, yeah, I suppose “progress” is so slow it may not appear to be happening.

No, what pisses me off is that you don’t listen to the people actually affected by this. This is so typically white male: ignoring any other input but your own because hey, problem? what problem? What solution? Doesn’t affect me!

Here you literally have at least one person who will be, unlike you, very much affected by another Republican administration and all the justices that get appointed as a result. This person is saying to you that this one simple thing you can do - which costs you nothing - will help them out. This person is saying that actually it matters to them and makes a difference to them, their family and their friends.

But you are so secure in your privilege that you choose to say “nope, you are wrong, I’m right… nothing I can do here”. Not even a “hmmm, maybe I should look into this more and ask others”.

That’s so fucking arrogant and selfish.

Jesus enslaves

If Trump gets elected and people like me are hunted down as devients, nobody can get safe abortions and thousands of transgender kids are denied the care they need… oh, and we end up at war with China while Israel does whatever it wants and the Ukraine is wiped off the map… I’ll be sure to congratulate you on your “making a difference”.

In my neck of the literal woods this has become an incredibly simplistic exercise. It used to be that I’d take the time to research their positions on specific issues… sometime even calling them up and asking questions. What party they belonged to was not always a reliable indicator of this so it was worth taking the time. But these days, where I live, we’re lucky to get even one candidate who is not a mouth breathing MAGA cult member.

So I just look up their voter registration and political contributions.

This post reminded me to try out Brave. It’s based on Chromium but purports to block ads and trackers…

Anybody else use it?

Edit: Interesting. Anyone care to explain the downvotes? I know nothing about this browser other than it purportedly blocks Youtube ads, which are driving me nuts.

I had no idea about this guy. Ok, so completely not an option.

But the examples you gave me are the opposite of progress

Your ignorance seems to know no bounds. But I hope you have a nice weekend.

If you beat cops up you are a terrorist. If you beat up the same people the cops like to murder, you are a very fine person.

this same argument has been made in every election of my life. I agree, and I’m sorry this this stupid country has it out for all minorities but I no longer have faith that scribbling in a little circle every 4 years is the medicine we need.

Once again. I’m glad you have the luxury of having this attitude. Because clearly the progress we’ve made doesn’t in any way affect you. Congrats.

This sounds excessive, that’s almost 1.1$/day, amounting to more than 2kWh/24hrs, ie ~80W/hr? You will need to invest in a TDP friendly build. I’m running a AMD APU (known for shitty idle consumption) with Raid 5 and still hover less than 40W/h.

This isn’t speculation on my part, I measured the consumption with a Kill-a-watt. It’s an 11 year old PC with 4 hard drives and multiple fans because it’s in a hot environment and hard drive usage is significant because it’s running security camera software in a virtual machine. Host OS is Linux MInt. It averages right around 110w. I’m fully aware that’s very high relative to something purpose built.

You will need to invest in a TDP friendly build

Right, and spend even more money.

Oh no, they are not terrorists. I know because the cops told me they are very fine people.

“A certain way of communicating by text that is predominantly displayed by the geriatric population”

You don’t. It’s still a pointless unprovable stereotype.

You are right. It’s my fault.

It is if you don’t get over yourself and vote for Biden.

my sincere apologies for what I am causing you.

Do you seriously not understand the implications of a Trump presidency for women, queer folk, transgender folk and minorities? The environment? Years of at least some progress on progressive policies? The minimum wage? Social Security? Democracy itself?

We don’t even have to speculate - they’ve literally told us what they are going to do.
