Because that’s how the spoiler effect works.The more support a leftist third party gets, the easier it is for the Republicans to win.

I can’t tell you how to fix it, but I can tell you that an election with 10% Socialists, 40% Dems, and 50% Reps will scare people away from voting Socialists.

At least as long as MAGA is a thing and the Dems aren’t seen as totally corrupt and basically the same as the Reps by the general public. And believe me: they aren’t.

I’m not doing anything like that, the will never be public support for a socialist candidate in the US without first changing the voting system.

I wish it wasn’t like that but I’m convinced it is.

Meanwhile you “peacefully” increase the probability that the guy who destroyed women’s reproductive rights gets voted in again.

I say you should help punish the Republicans for MAGA and once they try a moderate candidate again you can vote third party. But don’t ignore the consequences of your actions.

Hilarious. Let me think about who I’d vote for if I was US-American. The Fascist or the at least slightly socially progressive neoliberals? It’s anyone’s guess really. NO. Of course the Dems, fucking obviously.

So if I was US-American and also hit in the head enough to consider voting for third party in a country with a first-past-the-post voting system, I’d not vote for the Dems as a result.

This is called the spoiler effect. This makes her a spoiler candidate, no matter her intention.

That’s just completely wrong. Just try e.g. replacing the journald backend with the old text based syslog, and not only will you discover that is possible (which directly contradicts what you just said), it’s also easy!

The only thing I liked was arch’s pretty boot sequence … which I stared at for a while because SysV init was so slow.

systemd, not SystemD, or system d.

But yeah, wonderful talk!

Because they just have their own brain chemistry as the basis of it whereas the above comment clearly states:

Rust has proven empirically that the tradeoff between performance and safety doesn’t need to exist.

Which is truth. And it’s much easier to base a coherent argument on truth rather than vibes.

I was about to say: if a trunk would fulfill the same purpose, the bed is not useful: then it’s just a less protected trunk.

So I assume correcting for that, this stat would also be >70%

What kind of dumb instructions are that?

Stirring exactly once is enough in most cases.

And proceeds to not pretend that he does.

That’s at least four levels of credibility more than I expected.

I had a female boss.

Adjective is fine, using it as noun is icky

I’ll translate for you: This thread is about trucks getting bloated.

Then someone suggested: if you don’t need a truck, don’t drive one.

Then you replied that some people still need trucks, to which someone replied: sure, but they don’t need the bloated ones we’re talking about either.

The implication is that nobody needs bloated trucks with a tiny bed. Either you need one for work, in which case you don’t want a Karenwagon, or you don’t need a truck.

Yeah, but a satirical one, not one to be taken literally.

Hey, I’m sorry I didn’t get a PhD in “Lemmy instance vibe checking” before I chose to go for the devs’ instance.

Fuck Trump, and fuck generalizing tribalism.

They have a conspiracy myth going on that basically equates transhumanism with being transgender.

Which sounds absolutely based, but as usual, that’s lost on them.

Whoever dies first loses.

I mean, if you treat your inbox as a to-do list, that’s not that far-fetched

Wow you’re insane. “I know, I’ll discredit the woman who just pointed out that it’s hard to get credit in her field as a woman ”

Weird how he’s helping the far right in both cases.
