We usually find solutions or workarounds to Nvidia driver issues within a day or two in the Arch community. The absolute worst case handling I've had to do was fork the Nvidia dkms package at the prior version (think nvidia-dkms-550) and run that until Nvidia themselves released a fixed version. Still pretty straightforward.
The most helpful advice I can give to anyone running a distro maintained by folks with day jobs is "take system snapshots before updates" - do that and the worst case fix to any update problem like this is still really easy to handle, even if you're 10 minutes out from a work call and an update just went wrong.
Personally I'd just drop a note on the old user profile pointing at the new one and hope for the best. Portable accounts isn't a solved problem in the fediverse yet.
Of course they are. If they wait long enough someone else (US taxpayers) will foot the bill while the banks pocket an extra 30-50y of boosted profits.
This is the stance the vast majority of US companies are taking. Climate mitigations cost money, but if businesses ignore the problem long enough (while pocketing money that could be used to mitigate damage) it'll become a crisis that only the government can handle. At that point the US taxpayer is on the hook for all of those costs.
That's the entire purpose of climate denialism - if the problem is pushed off long enough someone else will be forced to pay and good fucking luck clawing any of that money back.
I mean, wouldn't you if the rake handle had huge bags of cash tied to it? They'll always step on the rake but they're practiced enough that they only get hit in the face occasionally.
The last time a 3rd party candidate had an actual shot (and it was a looooong shot at best) was in 1992 when Ross Perot ran. He split the R vote badly enough that it handed the election to Clinton.
So long as we're using first past the post a 3rd party candidate has a vanishingly small chance of doing anything other than helping elect the opposition.
Progressives do want better, but the moderate faction, who don't post on Lemmy, is much larger and they think genocide is keen. If all the progressives unimously said we won't vote for a Democrat that supplies Isreal, it might not have even had an effect on her platform, we'd just get Trump. The moderates have more money and REALLY support genocide.
I think the problem with moderates is that they're not even really aware that the Gaza genocide is happening. Moderate voters are like ostriches, if they're diligent at ignoring world news none of the bad stuff is really happening or it's all just alarmism. Never underestimate how astonishingly willfully ignorant American moderates are.
People are extra sensitive about Harris/Israel criticism because of the extensive "don't vote for genocide!" astroturfing campaigns flooding social media to discourage left voter turnout in swing states. This is going to be a fucking close election and anything that even obliquely discourages left voter engagement is going to get side eye until we're past the election.
Also, re: Israel:
That's our Israel foreign policy in a nutshell and we really should do better. Hopefully once the Kissinger fans all die out we will.
I've been telling this to people for two decades: climate denialism exists to provide a "get out of liability free" card for the folks who'd otherwise be stuck paying climate reparations
The tipping point is going to come 5-10y before the mainstream op-eds that shrilly decry "Why did no one warn us it would be this bad!?" while simultaneously blaming leftist voters, consumers and immigrants for not taking it upon themselves to magic up a solution.
