Camelcase in python, ew, a fundamentalist would do that

And the appetite for change is so great that even those minor details are enough for people, but this campaign couldn’t even do that.

No it’s not, it’s a great policy, it just needs to be supplemented by incentives to build or direct government building programs.

A populist won the election, yes, and that’s much more relevant than left or right.

The solution is absolutely for the democrats to move left, but not because it’s left, because people want to hear things about how their lives are going to improve.

Instead of blathering about an “opportunity economy” and more fuel for the war machine, they should be talking about higher wages, cheaper healthcare, cheaper housing, and cheaper eggs.

People who want to vote for the right wing already have a party to vote for, they’re not going to switch. This strategy just alienates people whose lives suck.

Political violence has sometimes led to good things

As a European, we shouldn’t be so quick to judge, we are only a few years behind them, and who is the greater fool, the fool or the one who follows the fool?

In 20 years millennials and gen z will be 30-60 year olds, you know, the people mostly in control of stuff

If someone “perceives they are losing out” because of doing something positive for women or minorities then that says a lot about their worldview, they are the ones responsible for polarisation there.

Agreed on the campaign though, it was the dems’ to lose and they royally fucked it up.

Yeah, the demographics of voters are just made up, huh? They are the overwhelming supporters of the far right. Don’t wanna be painted like that? Don’t vote for fascists.

I’m a cis white guy too, for the record, and I’m not saying it’s something inherent in skin colour or having a penis that makes someone an asshole. But it’s classic bully behaviour to tell people lower on the hierarchy “look what you made me do”. You want things to be less divided then you should start by accepting the simple facts.

No, straight cis white men will get hurt economically and through living in a degraded society, but they will not be forced to carry pregnancies, or be murdered because of their race or their sexual orientation.

And they know that. As long as he hurts those others even more they’re fine with what he does to them.

Yeah the thing is the average trump supporter will be hurt less than everyone else (and that’s the whole point)

The UK is not better than America haha, just outwardly a little more subtle

I’ve had the joy of working on a python project with strict type checking enforced in CI and wow is it a different experience. Am a big fan.

The mac comes with 256 GB though, and 256 > 1

Support for M1 and M2 is pretty good now but M3 is not quite there yet and it’ll probably be years before everything works nicely on M4, sadly

Just start wearing a “make fascists afraid again” hat and let him do the escalation (or something more subtle if necessary in your workplace)

It is, to within 5%, just make the equals sign squiggly and you’re good

Wow, I guess cryptography is just fraudulent, who knew

Don’t worry, people here yell at you for not using profane language because “you can swear on the internet”, they’re a weird bunch.

Your approach and understand seems realistic and solid. Go with any of the beginner-friendly distributions, as people have said, Mint or Ubuntu are good choices, because most of the support information online is available for them. Because Mint is based on Ubuntu, instructions for Ubuntu will almost always work on it too.

The Linux mint installation guide is IMO very clear and easy to follow, so I’d start there, and for the first time you can just go up until the “the live session” section and play around with it before deciding to install. The guide for Ubuntu is very similar.

Good luck and have fun!
