The Lemmy devs never encoded their personal beefs or political opinions into their software. They've always kept that to their own instance. There's bigger assholes administering other instances. But its only Rimu and Admiral Patrick tried to impose their opnions on other instances with hard coded block lists secret shadowban lists, and hidden social credit scores.

The turd is in google play services not AOSP so its not upstream of Lineage or Graphene. Graphene should actually be safe because it provides an alternative to google play services. Lineage doesn't but the user isn't required to install google play services. Lineage users might even be able to install Graphene's alternative (MicroG iirc) instead.

For sake of all that is holy, stop defending Bill Clinton. The Clintons are as putrid as Dick Cheney's corpse. Throw them out with Trump.

I swear, the democrats were handed the juciest scandal in US presidential history on a silver platter and all they are going to do is squeeze as much small donor money out of it as possible.

You were overqualified for the position if they're making you go through that amount of bullshit.

Oh so we must've secretly just wanted Trump to win because...? Or maybe we just wanted Biden to stop funding a genocide?

Maybe there's a lesson here for you to learn. Something about "electability". When people say "I won't vote for anyone who sponsors genocide" they aren't bluffing.

C was incredibly disruptive 50 years ago.

Centrists doing damage control once again:

since modern voters tend to judge candidates less by their own idiosyncratic positions than by their party’s general image.

This is more correct than Vox realizes. The parties general image is determined by the vocal democratic supporters people know, not the actual positions of the party. The average democrat voter is far to the left of the average democrat politician and there's nothing the politicians can do about it.

These pundits keep telling politicians that victory comes from chasing a center that doesn't exist. America is polarized. Deal with it. Embrace your base like Mamdani or be abandoned by it.

U.S. officials have so far maintained that Iranian retaliation must not target American forces, arguing that the current Israeli operation does not justify attacks on U.S. interests.

This, Israel is desperate to change. Absolutely psychotic nation hellbent on starting WWIII.

Making more co-ops doesn't make them any more competitive against companies that exploit their workers for extra profit.

If you can make a successful co-op then go for it. But they absolutely aren't a path to any sort of revolution, which communists are all about. Forming a labor union in a critical industry is a much higher priority for communists than starting another co-op.

DC yuppies have got to be the worst yuppies in the nation to serve cocktails to.

I'm very suspicious of the uses cases for this. If the compiled bash code is unreadable then what's the point of compiling to bash instead of machine code like normal? It might be nice if you're using it as your daily shell but if someone sent me "compiled" bash code I wouldn't touch it. My general philosophy is if your bash script gets too long, move it to python.

The only example I can think of is for generating massive install.sh
