If you do that, you will just split the vote, giving Republicans another win. I’m not sure if your democracy will survive thus term, but another… forget it.

Nvidia made money, but I’ve not seen OpenAI do anything useful, and they are not even profitable.

I wonder if overhead wires make sense with the state of battery technology now? It must be cheaper to build battery-powered trains than install and maintain all that infra before you even factor in the cost of adjusting bridges and tunnels to accommodate the overhead wires.

Thanks for the numbers! I knew it was bad, but I didn’t know it was that bad…

Most of the UK network is electrified with a third rail. Some is overhead, but significant parts are not electrified at all.

Yeah, but at least we saved Gazza.

And I include his enablers who banged on about Gazza. If your actions get a facist elected, you are a facist.

Just one more lane…

Even a country formed by survivors of the last round is engaging in genocide.

The electorate swung solidly right, giving Trump the popular vote. Much as I’d like a more left-wing administration in the US, the evidence does not support the theory that a left leaning campaign would have helped. The US apparently wants an authoritarian government, and it got it.

This is not just the US either - globally we are shifting rapidly to authoritarian regimes. In my own UK where the center left (at best) Labour won the election, but only because the right wing parties were split by FPTP. The Tories elected a far right leader last week and got derided for it, but for them, it’s absolutely the right move, and the next election will likely deliver a far right Tory or Tory/Reform coalition. For reference, Labour got less votes than the previous election that they lost in a land slide.

Same where I currently live, Germany, and my fiancé’s France.

Dark times are ahead. Prepare for the worst.

My crazy theory: if he wins and then gets sent to jail, the republicans won’t rescue him. Why? Well, he was useful to win the election, but he’s got no idea how to run a country, far less of an idea how to implement Project 2025. Vance, on the other hand, seems competent enough to actually deliver…

The comments on Phoronix definitely took a racist turn…

I really don’t get this. I know where my parents and grandparents came from. Should I care if I have Irish or African blood? It baffles me that anyone does. How would that information would change my life? We should be judged by our actions, not by the origin of our distant ancestors.

They bang on about free speech… but apparently not that free…

Do not sit ANY election out, even the local ones. The far right have been building a network of corrupt judges and politicians at the local level with the goal to implement project 2025. No matter what happens this election, they are still absolutely set on that goal and will not stop.

I wonder what the apologists from .ml have to say…

My understanding is that it boots faster. That’s a nice thing to have on a container that spins up on demand.

I went from Boost for Reddit straight to Boost for Lemmy. It does everything I need and the dev is quite active with new features etc.

That’s news to me - and a bit of a dick move.
