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.

The age isn’t itself the problem. Cognitive decline is the problem. Biden is in rapid decline; Trump is still a ways off.
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.
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.
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.
This is a popular opinion, but only because most Lemmy users think this post isn’t about them.
Ultra-libertarian Jingoist? I’m as confused by that combination of words as I am the flags on the truck.
The problem on Lemmy is that this gets combined with overgeneralized binary thinking, and all loosely “conservative” people get strawmanned as the intolerant outgroup, which, when this happens, actually does make you the guilty party.
Give me an archive link and I’ll click it every time. Otherwise, almost never.
In response to everyone’s sandals comments, you’re really missing out if you don’t go barefoot in the snow every now and then, so long as there’s only a light layer. Every step is cushioned and refreshing. It’s good endorphins all around, like taking a breath of fresh air after leaving a stuffy room. When the snow gets high enough that it kicks up onto the tops of your toes, that’s cold.
Honestly, I’m just glad you can feel comfortable enough on Lemmy to post something like that. Fuck you, and let’s be friends.
You mean the forward party? “No Labels” is something different.
Edit: No Labels do market themselves as “moderate” though. But from what I’ve seen, it’s more of a “corporations’ dystopian version of bipartisanship” moderate rather than “roughly middle-ground views of average Americans” moderate.
Third party. I sincerely believe the threat of Trump is completely and utterly overblown (compared to any random neocon), and I don’t care about blue tribal rage. This election isn’t “too important” to vote for someone you’d actually want; that’s the argument literally every time, and it’s still not true. Until a major party earns my vote, I’ll spend it wherever I please.
I’ve never dived into this, but if electronic keyboards are just glorified midi-controllers, I’d have to think you could find a FOSS solution. If they’re not simply midi-controllers, I wouldn’t begin to know. I’d imagine you might have an easier time with keyboards from the 90s or whenever.
Next, give warnings that Chrome and Edge are not supported browsers.
You can skip this comment if you’re avoiding anything arch-based; I don’t have any additional distro suggestions beyond what’s already listed (they really are mostly the same), but in regard to the arch-based suggestions, I would only add that you can reduce the maintenance by choosing a DE with a slower update cycle (e.g. XFCE or any WM) and, more importantly, remembering that you don’t actually have to update your system every day. Even once a month is probably fine. I don’t get the impression you want vanilla Arch though; Endeavor or even Manjaro minimal will have the defaults you’re looking for, or literally any other non-Arch distro if the AUR isn’t important to you.
Adults are worse at passive learning than kids, but focused learning works just fine. You’re probably better off buying/pirating something like rosetta stone than you are watching sitcoms.
Everyone is actually mildly intolerant to carageenan. Why it’s used as a food additive is beyond me.
Edit: My wife switched us to Colgate and hasn’t had problems since.
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.
