This. All of this. It’s fine if the goal is to let the active communities bubble to the top organically, but that doesn’t mean much if people can’t easily find them.
It would be nice if there was a way to load-share communities among the instances or something, kind of like a mesh network.
It’s been great, honestly. I had Garuda on a laptop I was using to stream from a local Desktop, and it worked better for Remote Play than Windows 10.
You gotta be on the nightly-builds repo to get it.
I don’t think it’s an agenda, I think it’s just poorly delivered. The facts are:
Teen hacks corps using a Fire Stick.
Teen has done something novel with proprietary hardware.
I think it’s safe to assume that he’s intelligent and creative based on those two things. With proper guidance from the right kinds of people (including parents), someone like that could eventually put those talents to use on someone’s Red Team, or working with an intelligence agency, rather than doing something illegal to stretch their wings (fuck big corporations, but the law is what it is).
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to note that his talents will be wasted by grinding him down in the justice system.
It’s not that simple, thanks to the Electoral College. If electing a president was based on popular vote, the last several Republican presidents wouldn’t have been elected.
But thanks to how the Electoral College works, getting elected is based more on strategically winning specific states. Texas, for example, has several deep blue cities with some of the largest populations in the country. Yet, all 50-something electoral votes go to Republicans, because Republicans win the popular vote in the state. The will of those millions of people is discarded and flipped due to the other areas voting differently.
Gish galloping: the favorite tool of bad actors.
Yeah, I didn’t express it very well, but I wasn’t trying to imply they weren’t a threat. They 1000% are.
It’s just that plans like this presume every conservative is like them, and as we’ve seen even in the House, that’s not the case; it wouldn’t be a cakewalk
Still, it’s one more example of why Conservatives (capital C) need to be dealt with soberly.
TBH, how do his followers have any money left? They’ve bankrolled all of his endeavors for the last 7-8 years, plus bankrolled the other various grifters who kiss Trump’s ring.
Reminder that this isn’t a GOP document, it’s a Heritage Foundation document (right wing extremists).
They could try to follow it, but the Heritage Foundation ≠ GOP. If anything, the Federalist Society is a far greater threat, since they have tactfully and successfully infected the judiciary, and they don’t even have a public manifesto of this nature.
This is certainly concerning, but it’s far from guaranteed to be utilized.
I recommend listening to Legal AF. They’re lawyers following the Trump case, and I think they’ll give you some hope and a good perspective on how fucked Trump is (the episode titles are a bit clickbait-y, but the core information is good). It’s helped me not completely give up and say, “Well, rich people always get off scot free.”
Trump hasn’t seen justice, yet, but he also hasn’t been to court except to be arraigned. We all want justice yesterday, but he’ll have to defend himself for real early next year.
They gave his PAC money, not him directly. With the federal and state governments watching his every move, I’m sure one of them would love to add additional fraud to the list of charges.
It’s not like he can just use it how he wants (anymore).
And as jail goes, the court proceedings haven’t happened yet. He’s out of jail, sure, but that doesn’t mean he’s free.
Yep. Basically the 14th is the quickest path to disallowing his run. But he can get multiple life sentences for murdering a million people and still run.
Standing could be as simple as “it harms the American people to allow him to run.” The lawyer doesn’t have to be directly injured, since class action lawsuits are brought on behalf of entire groups all the time.
Not that it’s a slam dunk reason, but I would hope and think the lawyer in question knows that they have to prove some amount of standing.
She fell prey to one of the classic blunders.
They get so much grassroots support because…
This is your answer. The change we want isn’t going to happen at the federal level only. The DNC has had a really terrible leader up until recently, but even so, they don’t have a good pulse on the left-electorate. They can’t seem to figure out that the country isn’t center anymore.
The reason we didn’t have a “red tsunami” at the midterms, which going on historical trends should have happened, is because of the extremely hard work of grassroots orgs that mobilized the voters on the left (typically low-turnout voting bloc) in local, state, and federal races. And they did all that on a shoestring budget, with little to no help from the DNC.
The change is going to have to be from the local level up. That’s how the GOP got to their “minority rule” status, and it’s how we’ll win back true democracy.
As far as people with lower-end systems being unable to enjoy newer titles, I’d like to point you to the prolific and endlessly creative indie scene. Yes, you may not be able to play the latest AAA “Skyrim Ultra Remaster DX: Penultimate Boogaloo - GotY Edition,” but there’s lots of gems out there that don’t require the latest GPUs.
But as for realistic graphics, there’s actually an aspect you may buy be aware of: game companies actually influence the movie industry. Because games not only have to deliver realism but realism in real time, they have to constantly invent new techniques. The movie industry picks up these techniques and makes better movies.
Plus, IMO, improvements are always welcome. Death Stranding had some of the best mocap I’ve seen in both the movie and videogame industries, and don’t feel those improvements were wasted effort.
I think I’d prefer So and So. She seems to have her shit together more than Whatsherface.
I get your feeling, and I’m actually a little bit older than you (so have had to vote for the same boring centrists), but “fuck that” isn’t how you strategically defeat a coalition of rich, Conservative ideologues who have been slowly and tactfully eroding our democracy.
“People like me” haven’t had their candidate yet win a primary (I’m a progressive socialist), so I’m not sure who you’re referring to.
They both rhyme, so curbing junk fees is practically the same thing, right? /s
Technically, SCOTUS didn’t do anything. They refused to take up the case, which means the 5th Circuit’s ruling, that superseded both lower courts that affirmed it was illegal by saying “we’ll address it next year after the primaries,” was the final say.
The thing that needs to be made sense of is why the 5th Circuit is allowed to operate in bad-faith as a rubber stamp for everything Conservative.
