Not to defend them too much and I have to admit that I don’t know much about the details which bills were priorities during the 4 months that Obama has house, senate and Presidency.

What I did read a while back was that Obama didn’t know how long his supermajority would last and some of the things he wanted he wanted done but couldn’t once he lost the house.

I’m still doing hybrid work, going to the office 3 times a week in Sydney. I pay the equivalent of €66 a month. If I was doing full time in the office it would be €110 a month. I would also love a €58 euro monthly ticket.

Looks interesting. I do have a Linux machine for work due to software requirements. I will have a look at void.

I went from using slackware late 90s early 00 to Mac OSX in early/mid 00. When coming back to Linux late 00 early 10s I was so disappointed in the Linux distros. I tried Ubuntu but was very disappointed in the lack of newer versions of third party software in their repo. Tried Arch for a while and while packages were up to date, every now and then the OS updates would mess something up and I had to start troubleshooting.

It might be better now, but I eventually gave up and went to FreeBSD about 10 years ago. Stable base and separate up to date third party feels like the best of both worlds. Not sure if any llinux distro offers something like that now. No snap, no flatpack, just a base os and up to third party date packages.

Nope, not a valid reason.

The constitution was made to be amended to adapt with the times. Time to amend the 2nd amendment and require a valid reason such as hunting for having a firearm.

What you observes could be OS depended,. Vim has its own copy paste buffers (y,p etc) and the OS has its own. Traditionally highligh to copy and middle mouse button to paste on Unix. Windows has 2 methods, ctrl-c,v but those are also bindings in vim so only the older less known crtl-insert,shirt-insert works.

Copy paste is definitely built in, there is no need for extra plugins.

You mean you couldn’t copy some text from vim and paste it into another application? if yes, what did you have to install/configure for that? I’ve never had any issues copy paste from/to vim, console/GUI windows/Unix.

No problem with ID for voting, just have to make sure they’re accessible by all at no cost (both time and monetary).

Republicans proposals for voter ID so far have been riddled with ID exclusions that, while never admitted to, would exclude a large part of the population that they don’t want to be allowed to vote. Either include more types of ID or make sure to provide everyone with a voter id for free before the election.

today I learnt that sky news UK is very different to sky news Australia.

I put on my sony wh-1000xm5’s to get as clear audio as I could. The first few chants could be interpreted as “lock him up” but it quickly turned to a clear “Ka-ma-la” once the cheering and clapping reduced.

At 8:34 there was a single clear “lock him up” after Harris mentioned Trump’s recent conviction.

So that’s settled now, I they weren’t chanting “lock him up”

1 FreeBSD server with zfs mirror for storage and various server software

1 FreeBSD laptop for development

1 Linux laptop for software that doesn’t support FreeBSD

1 Linux desktop for work.

The rest of the family is 100% windows though :/

And you’re not trying to deflect from your original argument you were making.

A text book definition of a word vs what people behind a political party in a specific country are very different things.

I stand by what I’ve said, American conservatives tend to assume that American liberals do what a conservative would have done. In this case be unable to be impartial and make decisions based on their own ideology.

An American liberal is more likely to be able to be impartial than a conservative.

Have a good life.

I am definitely saying the liberals are more likely to be impartial.

liberals tend to favour fairness of outcome, not the conservative fairness of opportunity. Hence they are better able to better put themselves in other people’s shoes and go against their core beliefs (ideology) if that means a failed outcome for other people.

I watched it live too, it was painful.

Trump just says what he wants to be true, regardless if it is. But he has always been like that so nothing new.

Biden looked very tired, while he answered the questions much better than Trump, it was painful to watch him struggle to get the words out sometimes.

I suspect that many Biden votes will be a vote against Trump, not for Biden.

This comment really feels like “I’m making all my decisions based on ideology therefore everyone does”

Not sure if this is a sarcastic or genuine comment. Regardless a quick google came up with these estimates.

intersex 0.018% or 1.7% depending on what you include in the definition of intersex. transgender: 0.5%

So depending on your definition of intersex it can be 3 times as many intersected people compared to transgender or 28 times as many transgender compared to intersex.

Imo it’s very likely a big intersection in these two subpopulations.

transgender 1 in 250 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5227946/

intersex: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12476264/

No that’s fine, they just switch to the SRY gene.

Or they just I ignore it like all those intersex XY (and other chromosomal abnormalities) people born with female genitals.

it’s a shame that the other option is even more pro israel :/

$10.99 AUD in Australia, ~ $7.20 USD.

Americans are still getting ripped off at the new price point.
