First of all, thanks for being on Lemmy. I get nothing out of it when the lefty hivemind argues against a strawman. At least you give us the real thing. Fuck gh0stcassette.

Second of all, Trump only campaigned on a populist platform in 2016. He railed against CEOs, various special interests, and other "swamp creatures" under the premise that he was going to fund his own campaign and didn't need their money. It was honestly kind of refreshing, even if he was ultimately full of shit and failed to deliver. But I haven't heard Trump's 2016 rhetoric in a long time. Not regarding the ruling class. Maybe he still says "drain the swamp" now and then, but many of those who opposed Trump in 2016, e.g. Wall Street, now largely support him, and Trump openly panders to them for their donations. It's not that people in power hate him; it's just the people you don't like in power who hate him.

Vote third party if you hate the elites.

Anyone who disagrees with you isn't a troll. Biden looked how he looked, and moderates/independents don't have the same appetite for copium as you do.

So February 31st is exactly average?

People think Biden may actually do it? I hope I'm wrong, but I think that's pure fantasy. One ego is definitely bigger than the other, but you don't become President by being a good person.

The SCOTUS interpretation is exactly the interpretation I was taught in school back in the 90's/2000's.

Stable, in this context, just means "point release". If you meant "doesn't break", that describes most rolling release distros.

...unless you've used KDE in the last month. Holy cow, just let me alt-tab into a fullscreen window without throwing a fit.

I don't hate flatpaks, but flatpaks require more disk space than the same apps from traditional repositories, and they only support a handful of the most common default themes. Since I only ever use older and slower computers, my disk space is limited, and I like to rice my desktop, I personally avoid them. But your use-case may differ.

Too hot, but every other time this has happened in the last several months, they've been able to spread dirt and gravel on top to make a temporary road.

Depending on when this picture was taken, it's just the outermost layer that's solid. The lava flows from underneath.

You're thinking in reverse. Walled gardens keep you in, not out. Without logging into your Steam account (pretending you don't have one), try to download a mod for a game you bought on GOG and see how it goes for you.

This is silly. Valve is already a profit driven company. You don't see the walled garden? The DRM? Valve supports proton because it's in their monetary interest to do so.
