1·3 days agoThat 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.

1·5 days agoYou keep attacking a straw-man of what I said.
Do you believe in democracy?
I have mine set up with an old speaker and a raspberry pi 1. The thing that has helped me the most though is to workout regularly.

2·6 days agothey 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?

32·6 days agoThey 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.

1·20 days agoI 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.)

4·20 days agoFirstly…
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.

12·20 days agoA 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…

Flippanarchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Running defense for a pedo, but with extra steps
5·1 month agoAt least you’re admitting Bernie would have won in 2016.
But yeah, I’m similarly pessimistic about the 2016 Bernie alt-history. Too many conservative democrats would have stood against his agenda.
The electability argument has been proven to be false —Kamala lost, Zorhan won—, conservative dems don’t offer to improve people’s lives materially. What is the positive case for conservative democrats at this point? (Other than “They aren’t as bad as Trump”.)

2·1 month agoDamn you must be old if you remember that.
Make America like it was when our great grandparents were young again! (Edit: Not the Jim Crow part)
Because that was the last time we had a social democratic government that stood up to fascists.
Can you cite the DOI of your study?

Programming@programming.dev•Sudo maintainer, handling utility for more than 30 years, is looking for support
241·1 month agoThe article points out that sudo has already been forked by Ubuntu maintainer canonical into sudo-rs which reimplements sudo in rust with better memory protections. It also states that the maintainer of sudo expects sudo-rs to be the future of sudo.
I’m sure the republicans do put their thumb on the scale… that doesn’t mean the direction centrist dems put their thumb on the scale for is correct direction. Centrist dems still lost despite massive institutional backing in their direction.
Candidates like Zorhan Mamdani have managed overcome massive institutional push back.
You’re making an assumption that privately run DNC primaries are perfect competitions for determining which candidate is best. This is an incorrect assumption. The DNC itself has literally said you are wrong in a court of law.
Do you believe the DNC should continue to push back against candidates like Zorhan Mamdani?
The DNC puts its thumb on the scale for the centrist all the to give them a better shot. Despite a proven track record for failing to beat Trump.
Centrists dems lost 2 out of 3 times to an orange clown.
If the centrist dems can’t beat republicans, how far will they let us slide into fascism before they give someone else a shot?
Why can’t we rebuild the new deal coalition?




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