And Democrats are "merely" authoritarians who 1) have colluded with fascists for decades to secure a duopolistic stranglehold on power, 2) have endorsed many of the same positions, historically, 3) place power above all else, including risking lives by boosting the cred of a literally insane psychopath fascist so they could win in 2016, 4) share many of those fascists views on privacy, personal security, freedom of expression.
Democrats only look good when compared to fascists. Is that really the best we can do?

The real issue here is that this has been a strategy of the DNC for years. As much as they'd like to deny it, they are responsible for the rise of Trump and extremism. But we'll be asked to pretend that didn't happen, again.
When you endorse racist fascists to win, you're no better than those wh osupport them.

Israel is not a protectorate of the US but an independent and democratic country whose citizens are the ones who choose the government
Okay cool, can we stop supplying weapons and Intel now?

Vouching for PopOS, which has been my primary OS for years. The only thing I run a Win VM for is the old Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas & Campaign Cartographer. I suppose I could tinker with Wine, but it tends to be finicky with the latter.

Constantly having issues
You're going to see a lot of issues on Linux boards because people go to then for help. I've been running Linux since 2020 and though there have been hiccups, its been remarkably reliable. Having said that, when there ARE issues, it can take some digging to find answers.
Is it not stable
Moreso than Win 11, in my experience. I use Win 11 at work and I've needed a system wipe twice. Once because networking just... stopped... and once because appx apps decided not to load.
Ongoing issues
Plugging PopOS as a good "set and forget" distro that is easy to grasp. The workflow is very MacOS and the tweaks they've made make for a friendlier interface v Ubuntu, IMO.

I chose federated networks, not Lemmy per se. Right now I use:
- Firefish (Mastodon with a better kit)
- Kbin (Developing Lemmy alternative w/o problematic devs)
- Pixelfed (Instagram alternative, good except export tools lacking)
Federated is awesome because its more open and encourages choice, and I actually feel like there are friends to be made.

Is this the same system they use to slow down basically everything at AMS? Like seriously, that's the worst, dirtiest major international airport I've ever had the misfortune of having to use.

I've seen space vampires enslave circus clowns in a plot to corner the world's market on instant ramen, too.

Or you know, vote for someone who wouldn't support it in the first place...which you could do if the DNC didn't collude with fascists to keep alternative voices silenced.
Sorry for the mere preview; I'm not sure how to upload multiple images on Kbin, if there is a way at all. If it piques your interest, you can find the rest of it on my Erisly profile [here](https://erisly.social/notes/9p3aewzow1101dwt). So what is this? Basically, we've created a comprehensive random person generator for the Western Heartlands (where Baldur's Gate takes place) based on demographic data gleaned from Forgotten Realms sourcebooks. I know it's isn't strictly Baldur's Gate III, but we thought those of you who also enjoy tabletop play might find it handy. Use, enjoy, or ignore as you like!

I've been trying to get answers from Proton for literal months concerning critical functionality issues with their mobile Android client. Messages are often truncated / missing data; clearly, there's a disconnect between the cached version of the message and the message the user sees. Unfortunately, every attempt to resolve this with support is met with boilerplate "try our beta app" at best, ghosting at worst. I have supported Proton as a paid user since 2018. It would be nice to think that they value their early adopters, but... honestly... their actions suggest otherwise. Edit: Proton acknowledges the issue, offers no timeline for a fix: > > > Please be informed that the issue has been reported and our developers are aware, they are look for fixing it in one of the future updates of the app. Unfortunately, we cannot provide an ETA on when the permanent fix will be available. > >
Good afternoon (or whatever time it may be for you!) Long-time supporter of Proton here with a strange, possibly deal-breaking issue. For the past few months, my users have been noticing that outgoing mail is often missing the end of their message. So far, Proton has been unhelpful, pasting in boilerplate about using the beta client (we did, no luck) and promising that they're working the issue. With the issue reported in September and it now being December, I'm not super hopeful! We use Proton for professional stuff, so this truncating messages deal is not cool. Anyone have any magical fixes we can try? Here's to hoping!
Before I begin, let me just say that I love D&D, have for years. And despite its flaws I love 5E; its probably the most accessible version of D&D I've played... and I've played a fair few versions. But... but! I'm sorely disappointed in 5th Edition's lazy approach to fleshing out the Forgotten Realms. There's just not a lot of official, contemporary material available and what is available has been watered down. I've taken to working with 3E / 3.5E worldbbooks because that's the last time I remember Wizards putting out quality worldbooks. Am I just missing an amazing set of sources? Are there must-haves on a third party site that I may not know about? Or, am I right in thinking that the current focus on comprehensive campaigns has left those who are interested in a less structured approach scrounging to find good source? (Perhaps next time, we can chat about the lack of good, official one-shot adventures.)
