These are the rumored specs according to moore’s law is dead. Of course things could change or he could have gotten misinformation.

Next-gen consoles are rumored to be around a 5080 in terms of performance. With 32GB of unified ram, $1000 would be a good deal for that level of performance. If Microsoft added the ability to run windows on it, that would be a pretty compelling package.

Hopefully things will get better, but with ram prices where they are the steam machine would probably need to be $900 if it launched today without being subsidized by valve and is around the performance of a base PS5.

I hate to say it but consoles may be the better deal next-gen.

The best comparison is probably the “Biden is the most electable candidate” narrative from the 2020 primary.

Millions of people still don’t have healthcare under the ACA.

The ACA was based on a healthcare bill by Mitt Romney.

You’re literally using a republican bill passed by democrats as evidence for the parties not being the same.

Things can go either way. Canada can be moving away from the NDP; England is moving away from their 2 entrenched party. To cover your eyes and say FPTP makes things we literally have historical examples of impossible because it’s inconvenient is simply ignoring reality.

Yes FPTP does make it harder and we should end FPTP, but it is possible. Especially when both of the 2 major parties are refusing to address massively consequential issues such as healthcare and the military industrial complex.

Was it around the time when they passed their nationalized healthcare service? The healthcare service that wouldn’t be a thing without the NDP. The kind of healthcare we still don’t have here in the US. The kind of healthcare that polls at like 70% in the US.

I’m not saying we shouldn’t end FPTP but this has become a thought ending cliche.

England is mostly FPTP they have ditched both Labour and the Conservatives in the last few years according to the polls. Canada has FPTP and they have 3 viable parties.

The math is not preventing a third party. This mindset is.

The U.S. had one of the worst responses to COVID-19 in the world under Trump 1 in terms of number of deaths per capita. The scientists that point this out are a vector of accountability for Trump. Trump and his acolytes in the media could loose power if Trump were held to account for the mass death caused directly by his incompetence (or maliciousness).

We basically need an android compatibility layer before that can happen.

That reminds me, if you want a TV experience on YouTube that can also block shorts; I recently discovered “VacuumeTube” for desktop OSes.

But yes, “Enhancer for YouTube” is the only correct answer for the desktop experience.

“Enhancer for YouTube” add-on lets you block shorts on Firefox and Chrome.

You keep attacking a straw-man of what I said.

Do you believe in democracy?

they do say that except maybe The Hague.

A few of the more radical ones may say it, but the leadership certainly doesn’t.

The vote does nothing except cost Democrats political capital. Also funny you think they could force a vote on anything

The democrats were gaining political capital when they shut down the government over cuts to healthcare. The polls were showing people were (rightly) blaming the republicans for the shutdown. The democrats randomly decided to stop fighting when they were winning.

They could definitely make a bigger stink about the war being illegal. Which would put pressure on republicans to put it to a vote.

Idk what kind of twitter tankie hugbox you’ve been in, but the Democrats oppose this war in every way they can. They have been the only ones telling the public what’s actually going on.

I’ve already given specific examples of how I think they could be better. Why are you so angry when I’m pointing out a way democrats could be more effective?

The strategy the democrats are taking has caused them to lose to an orange fascist in 2 of the last 3 elections. Why should we continue running a strategy that already failed multiple times?

They should say: “The war in Iran is an illegal war of aggression, Trump should be immediately impeached and removed from office and tried in The Hague for war crimes.”

They should do everything in their power to force a floor vote on the war in Iran if it gets less than 60 votes they should filibuster immediately.

Then run on ending the war and impeaching Trump in the midterms.

This is literally basic politics. The war is extremely unpopular and will only get more unpopular as everything becomes more unaffordable.

They don’t do this because they support the war. That’s why they only criticize the process not the war itself. It leaves them room to support the war in the future.

I heard some inside baseball that Walz might not have been as comfortable passing the far-left legislation that came out of MN over the last few years as we previously thought. I’m hoping Jesse Ventura will get back in there and do a better job when Walz term is up.

It’s certainly harder to organize outside of places like NYC, and there aren’t many places like NYC in this country. But I don’t see why people wouldn’t respond similarly to having their material interests served by government if people manage to organize for such a candidate.

When FDR was passing the new deal he won 4 landslides in a row across the entire country. Why wouldn’t people respond similarly today? (Besides the fact they passed term limits to stop a similar situation.)

Firstly…

I completely agree that it has never “felt” that way. My point was that we need to stop and intellectually consider where we have been and where we are. If you slow down and think for a second you can see that some progress has been made.

Secondly… and please don’t take this as an attack.

Notice that I didn’t say Hilary lost, I said Bernie lost. The fact that you said Gore lost, as opposed to Nader lost suggests to me that you weren’t yet apart of the fight I was referring to in the year 2000. You were still a reactionary at that point, you were still thinking in terms of harm reduction or partisan politics, rather than an affirmative vision for what could serve the material interests of everyday average working people.

If you now have an affirmative vision — beyond blindly supporting whatever the Democratic Party does — that too is progress.

A poll came out the other day that put Mamdani +49 (that’s not a typo +49) in New York. People are waking up, all the propaganda in the world cannot change people’s mind when they see someone fighting for their material interests.

I’ve been in this fight since Bernie in 2016 there are people who’ve been in it much much longer than me.

We are winning…
