The false equivalence is frankly absurd at this point.

In MA, when I worked the polls in 2020, they had a cop on duty in the polling location the whole day to deal with any yahoos like that. To be clear, that’s ALL they’re there for - they’re otherwise completely uninvolved with the administering of the election, and the operation of the polling location. Iirc the guy was just reading a book most of the time. I admit I’m somewhat surprised more jurisdictions don’t have some sort of policy like that. At the same time, I’m sure it would be abused by police forces in some parts of the country.

Sounds like there are some companies and/or individuals in India that need sanctioning too

But I am le tired

You need 2 ~ on either side to get a strikethru

I just want to pick one and stick with it. Like, holy fuck, the switching is awful.

Codeberg is pretty legit

Are you aware that the salute to which you’re referring was used for only a short while before they got rid of it, and that the saying has additional rich history beyond what you’re referring to, both before and after it was used by Ukrainian nationalists in the Second World War, and is generally accepted as a slogan of national pride and resistance to tyranny these days?

Holy false equivalence, Batman.

Conceding to populism appointed Hitler. Pragmatism would have been to outlaw the NSDAP, and chuck Hitler in jail again.

You’re being downvoted because you’re expressing an extremely myopic and unpragmatic stance. You are letting perfect be the enemy of good. The goal in the next two weeks is to prevent the fascists from winning the election.

And before you try the dEmOCrATs arE FasCiSTs tOo line: no, they’re not, and trying that sort of bullshit false-equivalence narrative will only help the fascists. There are overt fascists in this election, and it’s the Republicans. Do not attempt to blur the reality of the situation like that.

The fuck are you talking about?

Looks like you’re on a negging bender today. Could you chill?

In times of satisfying pet lives, though it’s quite different than “golden retriever owned by upper-middle class American family”, this has also got to be right near the top of the list.

Yes, that’s another distinct possibility.

But as I see it, Trump et al will think it’s a super bigly power move if they can just destroy the Democratic Party outright, so they’ll probably try to do that anyways

Come on, Lina! Be the regulator we (the people) need!

Edit: wrong agency, whoops 😬

That actually sounds like it’d make a meaningful dent in their revenue, which is good and proper in this context.

I try to stay away from getting overtly (geo)political in technical communities like this, but in this case, it’s the very nature of the article. And Linus himself underlines this fact:

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too.

We do not live in a vacuum. World events affect real people. Sometimes, it is necessary for even ideally apolitical groups to respond. This is one of those times. Слава Україні.
