  • Thank You, Linux and Linux Community

  • Win10 at some point stopped recognizing my beloved FiiO E10 USB headphone amp despite it supposedly being class-compliant. Nothing I did could get any Windows machine to recognize it

    Well, you should just have upgraded to Win 11 and asked Copilot about it.

  • I don't need "traction". I need shit to work well, and securely so - unlike cloud-based password managers, which are high-value targets by design and get hacked every other week.

    "Counterterrorism" now officially means targeting trans people. The White House will prioritize the “neutralization” of groups it considers “anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.”

  • You're both right, and you're both missing the point since you're engaging with their "save the childrun!" smokescreen.

    This is about ending anonymity and privacy on the net, plain and simple.

    Do you have something hidden in your homelab too?

  • Maybe somebody should tell this more-than-once bankrupt dipshit that you can only make use of tax deductions if you've made some actual profits.

  • That's what happens when the United States deliberately chooses to let its monopolies capture markets unchecked.

    This right here, but without the "deliberate", which hides the egregious levels of corruption that allowed for this to happen.

  • I don't think those two are comparable.

    Did pre-MAGA GOP voters vote against their own economic self interest? Yes, very likely.

    Did they vote for the GOP in good faith, believing this was the right choice for the country and everyone living in it? Also: Yes, very likely.

    That latter aspect is important in my view. In Trump's first term, people could still argue that they didn't know what he'd do and what would happen once he got into office. But that defense is gone now. People knew exactly what would happen this time. They knew about the cruelty. They knew about the violence. They knew about the corruption, the lawlessness, the authoritarianism. And they voted for him anyway, or even because of these things. They were prepared to accept all that, as long as it would be inflicted upon "the other side" (and now the leopards are eating their faces, too). That is no longer the ill-informed, but good-faith conservatism of former GOP voters. That is the cultish fanaticism of MAGA.

  • You know the answer to that, and you also know that the answer does not matter. MAGA isn't a political movement that gains or loses people's support depending on the outcomes of its actions. It's a cult, built around absolute faith in the leader and its ideology, and as such, it's insulated from reality. Cults have a long history of explaining away the suffering they cause to their own members:

    • The other side is pure evil, so whatever this is, the other side is worse.
    • You deserve it. You've been a terrible person, and your suffering is your repentance.
    • It's a test of your faith. Doubts are a sign of you being weak.
    • You need to hold out just a little longer. Paradise is just around the corner. (Of course, dates and goal posts constantly shift into the future...)

    Just think about the suffering any past cult has managed to have people endure or inflict on others (often their own kids). Then you know no matter how much MAGAs will suffer from their own political choices, it's not going to change their minds en masse.

  • In the sense that they're bastards and now also a little poorer? Yes.

    In the sense that they've suffered a blow of fate nobody could've seen coming, and are deserving of our compassion? Fuck no!
