You can also vote the Democratic primaries, too.

That worked out, suprisingly well, for Sanders. Think about how much change you could affect voting for Sanderses at every level.

This is how the Tea Party and MAGA co-opted the Republicans, and it's the model progressives should use to move the needle in the Democratic party (and they have, with some success).

If progressives want to see change, progressives need to vote. In every election. General or primary.

Well, ackshually, Linux is just a kernel... /s

You know what? A young Fassbender would have been a great Feyd-Rautha.

I mean, McAvoy was the God Emperor...

Yes.

They're hoping for a Reichstag Fire moment where they can win control during the chaos.

What a craven, gaslighting piece of shit.

Ah, the Oracle clause.

I can’t catch quite the drift what x86/x64 chips are good for anymore, other than gaming, nostalgia and spec boasting.

Probably two things:

  • Cost- and power-no-object performance, which isn't necessarily a positive as it encourages bad behaviour.
  • The platform is much more open, courtesy of some quirks of how IBM spec'ed BIOS back before the dawn of time. Yes, you can get ARM and RISC-V licenses (openPOWER is kind of a non-entity these days) and design your own SBC, but every single ARM and RISC-V machine boots differently, while x86 and amd64 have a standard boot process.

All those fancy "CoPilot ready" Qualcomm machines? They're following the same path as ARM-based smartphones have, where every single machine is bespoke and you're looking for specific boot images on whatever the equivalent of xda-developers is, or (and this is more likely) just scrapping them when they're used up, which will probably happen a lot faster, given Qualcomm's history with support.

I'd love to see a replacement for x86/amd64 that isn't a power suck, but has an open interface to BIOS.

Could also be one of several major Canadian cities.

Hear me out, but aren't these people supposed to be professional?

Wondering whether "happy" or "angry" variants of a person will show up should stop being a thing around sixteen to eighteen years of age.

Maybe thes story should read: "Trump grossly unfit for office and the Republican party is so badly broken that they can't manage to replace him"?

Again, it's "Don't quote the troll". Some of us learned this in Usenet in the 1990s.

Saying "This is bullshit" or "You're weird" without engaging with their ideas stops the contagion from spreading.
