Eugene V. Debs' Ghost

Fucking awesome. Onion has been hitting it hard lately, and this is just the cherry on top. I am hopeful this makes some chuds question their minds.

I would love this.

Chrome has been for years, so this is only a worse problem for end users.

Damn, thank god we killed plastic straws for people with sensitive mouth problems. Thank god Musk can ride his jet 24/7.

“Sounds like the problem is federal law pushed by Congressmen paid for by corporate lobbyists, not the federal government.”

Word cloud?

• Social Media of them
• YouTube pages owned/operated by them
• Bandcamp
• Mail lists
• A google search every now and again

That’s how I do it. Mainly YouTube and the eMails. But some of the bands I most listen to are more indie/obscure, so they play to their fans more than people on the level of Metalica and Taylor Swift.

Vegans are more “consent” than focusing on the consumption.

Vegetarians eat honey and drink milk. Vegans don’t as they don’t feel that animals can consent to the actions being taken place on their body. It’s basically a form of “Can this animal agree to what is taking place?” question. If they can’t even answer a yes or no, then it’s a form of abuse.

Like how we consider that animals can’t consent to sexual acts. It’s wrong because we exert a force to them that they can’t even disagree with. Bestiality is obviously wrong, and I don’t think you’d find a lot of people who would disagree except those who perform it. But it’s weird that we view the killing and eating of them as normalized.

And I am saying this as someone who consumes meat. I fully acknowledge I am complicit, I just don’t defend my actions.

Stallman is often batshit insane, but when it comes to tech he knows what he’s saying.

I would trust a doctor when he says about something about my stomach, I wouldn’t trust them about astrophysics.

I would trust Stallman about how computers can be misused and mistreated, same as Cory Doctorow. I wouldn’t trust both about a small part of history, unless it was obvious or very well cited.

Or just use Firefox and not deal with that.

Yes. Next question.

Thin narrow margin for Harris, several swing states are a new Florida of leaning and ballot counting taking forever. Then right wingers get upset, try to sue as they also then shoot local people for not sieg heiling Trump.

Harris enters office in Jan, makes some statements of how this is horrid, says she’ll do something to help it, but won’t solve the issues that make people consider being fascists who shoot mosques.

From there we’ll see the first 100 days of her term, and if the Senate and House are in favor, we might get some good bills in for a short term solutions to the long term diseases of American necrotic brain damage of conservatism.

For most people, nothing changes. Anti-trans bills are still in place, putting abortion back will be near impossible, and police will still shoot first ask questions second. Maybe some debts are cleared, weed is maybe legalized finally, but the county is the same as it was under Biden.

I’d rather have her as my president than Trump, that’s for damn sure.

I do know you can download Ubuntu’s theming/color scheme on most Distros, including Debian. And if you like the logo, you can tell Fastfetch to show any logo/image, and branding is often a simple check on Plymouth/related configs.

Debian is what I use when I need Ubuntu-tier support.
