Come on, it’s not like she murdered someone rich.

I really don’t understand your use of “far left” here.

My comment was just advising people to be media-literate and consider the source, though I also said that this in itself doesn’t make the article questionable (I actually think it’s quite credible). And I linked to Wikipedia’s article about this news website. I wasn’t trying to defend Israel or be controversial, and it was a bit of a surprise to see this get deleted.

Who is “him”?

The problem with the US system seems to be that it’s partisan all the way down. It’s too easy for the parties standing for election to influence how the election itself is run and counted. This is, I guess, an effect of the USA’s highly decentralized approach to elections: if the Republicans run a county, they get to decide how elections work in that county. A more centralized system wouldn’t leave the same scope for tweaking each local election to get the desired result in that locality.

I’ve not heard it called that before.

Oh if only he had the power he craves, this journalist would be in a camp for making him feel uncomfortable. Nasty little angry fascist.

Do SSDs do that automatically in the background, or is all the data I’m not actively refreshing gradually rotting away?

They have nukes too. It’s sickening that the USA, UK, Germany, Canada, etc. are pouring money and weapons into a regime of actively genocidal fascists with nukes, and fighting anyone who questions this.

Jeremy Corbyn was the best thing to happen to Labour in a long time, but the Blairy types all panicked when faced with actual policies to benefit poor people.

The problem is that USB flash drives don’t keep their data intact for very long when they’re powered down. It lasts long enough for everyday use, but not even as long as a hard disk for archival.

USB sticks and SSDs are no good for long-term storage. The data on them degrades rapidly if they’re not powered up. Spinning disks last longer. So your process would be better done with those.

Huh? USB is a connector, not an archival format.

It’s a shame their capacity lags so far behind current hard drives. And not many drives for these discs are still made, so what are the chances of them becoming unreadable just because no one has equipment to read them?

In the short term. In the long term they’ll be better off. But apparently the long term doesn’t matter to them when there are short-term gains to be had.

Doesn’t sound like that’s his plan:

So, hear me when I say this: no more money without reform.

Sounds like he wants to change the NHS’s priorities before making any new investment.

Yes, has anyone considered taxing corporations and the rich?

Only yesterday I came across this link thanks to Lemmy - be warned it’s gruesome:

The thing about the far right is it tends to get out of control and ends up eating its own. Politicians give it momentum and by the time they want to put the brakes on, it’s no longer theirs to stop.
