It's possible, but I doubt it.

Occam's Razor says people stayed home because the Democrats ran a shitty centrist who tried to appeal to the nonexistent 'moderate Republican'. The Democrats have been doing that as long as I've been alive.

People didn't shift Republican in this election. Trump got about the same number of votes as he did against Biden.

If you need to ask, then you haven't been paying attention

Oh yeah, it's a sucker's bet, I was just hoping to find a sucker who would take it

Nonprofits can still have paid employees, it's just that the company doesn't profit; there's no owner or shareholders extracting excess value.

For Google money I'd do it too...but I wouldn't do a very good job of it

Democrats will continue to stack losses if that's the narrative that they go with

$20 says that or race is the narrative they go with.

We'll take doctors and nurses no problem. And funny, I expect a bunch of American doctors are likely to want to take their practice elsewhere in the near future

I kind of have the opposite advice for interacting with soldiers in a warzone.

I have a cocktail recipe that might interest you

 

Does anybody know of a list of usb live-bootable distros, with links to the download pages?

I have a coworker who wants to switch his gaming computer over to Linux, he has Linux experience but from like a decade ago.

He's not partial to any particular distro, so I was hoping to just put together a multiboot flash drive with a bunch of live images he could try. But I'm not sure what I should include, and what has live images, vs. install only images.

I'm most comfortable in an environment with apt, so Debian and Mint are of course already covered, but if the gaming-specific distros have live usb images, that would probably be the best thing for him to try.

 

When reading a web page within Connect, it would be nice if long-pressing on links in the webpage would give a popup with the option to open the link in an external browser (and probably also an option to just copy the link). I frequently find myself linked to Wikipedia from a Lemmy comment, and then want to open other links from that wiki page, so then I have to open the page I'm on externally and refind my spot in the article.

Having the same options when long-pressing a link in a comment/post would be nice as well.

 

Edit: there's already a setting for it, another user pointed it out. Ignore me :)

~~Currently, when you block an instance or community, it's blocked app-wide. I had blocked various NSFW communities and instances on my main account so that they don't show up in my All feed, but now I can't access them from my NSFW account unless I use a different app to do so, or repeatedly unblock and reblock them as needed.~~

~~Can we instead make block lists on a per-account basis (or have the option of account-associated or global blocking)?~~

 

The text when I try to type comments (but not the text in the search bar or, as I'm just now learning, here in the 'post body' text box) is white, and I can't find the setting to change it. Obviously I could change my background back to the default blue that it was, but that's the opposite of a solution.

Anybody know?
