They don’t listen to him, my friend.

And “optimistic about technology” is different from “optimistic about US politics”. But either way, if people actually think there’s no hope, they often don’t bother saying anything at all. Listen to the words, look at the actions. Don’t read too much into tone.

Calling out horrible behavior openly is the winning move. Honesty and integrity matter.

My friend, you can’t have it both ways. If he “made a mistake” and then humbly and profusely apologized, then you could maybe pretend it was accidental… But that’s not what happened, right? He didn’t apologize because he meant it.

We will never, ever, look bad for calling out racism when we see it as clearly as we did here. But we would certainly be horrible human beings if we decided to pretend it wasn’t happening.

Anyway, of course you can do what you feel is right. For me, it’s simple. Fuck that racist motherfucker.

I use Debian on a regular basis and have for years, but I wouldn’t recommend it as the starting distro unless I knew that the user would have very ordinary hardware and no special software needs. It’s just annoying if you have to learn how to install Chrome, or your wireless drivers, for example.

It’s almost simple enough, but not quite, in my view. But if I were helping them get it installed, then after that they would probably be good to go.

Wow, the authors of that article bury the lede… Trump sued Paramount because of what Paramount did covering Harris which actually means Trump doesn’t really have any case, but they might want to pay off Trump because it’s a convenient way to legally bribe him… That’s the real story, that’s what needs to be said, along with any other analysis they feel is needed.

Oh, my dear, Canada wouldn’t get any voting rights.

The watching the car protection racket is a very common thing in many countries in the world my friend. Just because it’s ridiculous doesn’t mean it’s not true.
