  • Because we Citizens need ways to evaluate the people who are running for office to decide which one you want to give her a vote to.

    You’ve had plenty of time to do so for both candidates, as both have recently held office.

    Name one presidential election cycle where no debates were done in modern times.

    This is moving the goal posts, and a bad way to evaluate the necessity of a given debate.

    It would be immoral for someone running for office to not put themselves up for evaluation via debates. No one is owed blind loyalty.

    I’m not suggesting blind loyalty. It just seems odd that you’re trying to say the public won’t have a chance to evaluate the options when that clearly isn’t the case. Trump held office from 2016 to 2020, Biden from 2020 to 2024.

    If anybody doesn’t already know what these guys are about, then a debate won’t solve that, as they already pay too little attention.

    And besides that, the immorality of platforming insurectionists far outweighs whatever immorality could arrive in the form your suggesting.

    Yeah, it is a bit defeatist. And I don’t have high hopes for this country to unfuck itself of the current situation. I’ve mentioned unionization to co-workers in the past. At best they don’t bat an eye and engage, and at worst they treat you like an enemy, and no matter what the word is treated in a hushed manner.

    I’m not saying it is impossible. It’s just a ball busting-ly hard job to get done.

    But people are already losing their jobs without these safety nets anyway.

    And it’s absolute bullshit. But from the average workers perspective, there is a strong incentive to not lose your job even if you know there is a high chance of losing it to begin with. So the resulting behavior is that workers try to keep their head down and postpone that eventual job loss.

    Until a worker can be confident there will still be food on their table and a roof over their head when they strike or try to form a union, the incentive to keep your head down will continue to remain too strong.

    What do we have to do, and why aren’t we doing it?

    The list of worker protections needed for that kind of solidarity would take a book series to properly explain. The majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, meaning they can’t walk out without losing everything. They would pretty much instantly lose their jobs, which is a huge deterance.

    And culturally, the situation is fucked. The U.S. has a much workers solidarity as La Croix has taste. Nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out for a general strike. Nobody takes the ideal of a general strike seriously. A third of the population is republicans, whom vehemently oppose unions and worker protections.

    The culture, values, and worker protections of this country need to dramatically change. And I wish I had solutions.


  • Try to put Programs such as Firefox , emby in startup of linux

    Ignore me if you’re not still looking for solutions.

    IIRC, some distros have a way to do this through the gui, some don’t. I’m on LMDE, and it thankfully does have a gui to set startup programs.

    But all distros should be able to do this. Here are some a common ways:

    https://operavps.com/docs/run-command-after-boot-in-linux/

    Instead of a complicated script, your command would literally just be “firefox”, or “emby”. You might need to search for what the command for a given program is.

    It’s nowhere near as simple as it should be, but it is certainly possible.

    [Spoilers]

    Act 3? The game bugged out in act 1 when Shadowheart tried to kill Lae’zel. It straight up didn’t show us the cut screen of them fighting, and defaulted to Lae’zel dying when we failed to stop it in a cutscene we didn’t get.

    The end result being that Lae’zel just didn’t interact with the party for a month, and then suddenly drop dead, bloody on the floor after a patch.




  • Yeah. Luckily the work I am doing is to fix some really bad work that the entire company has been complaining about. So once it’s fixed it will hopefully be a little bit more recognition than that. Plus my boss is pretty level headed.

    But who fucking knows? There is always the likelihood that people will say things along those lines. And it ain’t my job to fight them on that.




  • And if your electricity isn’t sourced from renewables, you’re just kicking the problem down the road.

    Partially. With the exception of maybe coal, fossil fuel energy plants are more carbon efficient than an internal combustion engine can be just due to difference in scale.

    The better option is to have it powered through 100% renewable, but it isn’t an automatic lost cause.
