It would require acting outside the confines of the law, because fascists aren’t bound by the law either. And the more the US government is made obvious to be a joke, the more people might finally get the fucking clue that institutions are meaningless when they don’t actually enforce the rules or provide meaningful support for what the working class actually needs, and they might eventually decide to do something about it.

That is, of course, hopeful thinking on my part, but I think it’s the only correct answer to “what can we do when an overt fascist has power”.

Additionally, on an interpersonal level, you need to find communities IRL if you don’t have them, and be defiant together. Don’t let these evil fucks normalize anymore bigotry or conspiracies than they already have. Even if social norms would dictate otherwise, call that shit out when it happens.

And don’t preemptively give up or resign your position if you hold some sort of influential role in society. Don’t make it easy for them. Every single bit of defiance makes it that much harder to impose the hell which they intend to inflict, which is in and of itself valuable.

Bring the economy to a grinding fucking halt.

The only time I ever have to even think about drivers is when I’m cursed with something from work that has to be written for, or done in Windows. Drivers on Linux are great if you don’t need something like an obscure piece of hardware, and even then, your odds are probably better than on Windows. .

The desktop app can be used as a bridge for biometrics in the browser extension, but other than that, it basically serves no unique purpose unless and until they add autofill for desktop applications.

Totally fair. I’m curious to see if anyone else may have reasons why it might be suboptimal.

Is the a downside to repacking the deb package? They’re basically just zip files of the same binary you’d run on most other Linux distros.

The problem isn’t isn’t solved by Biden or Harris being “strong” on the border, because it is the wrong problem.

The real problem is that democrats have accepted the right-wing framing on immigration, by laundering the far-right narrative that there is a border crisis and putting forward a far-right immigration bill that would give the president unilateral power to shut down the border.

Them capitulating to this narrative lends validity to patently racist propaganda, like we’re seeing with Haitian migrants and the “Venezuelan gangs” story.

Aside from the fact that demonizing minority groups being a morally disgusting thing to do, it’s really stupid political strategy for the democrats. Voters that are preoccupied with brown people coming into the country will vote overwhelmingly for Repugs every single time. Democrats will not be able to win over those people racists by trying to out-righting the Republicans.

The problem isn’t the democracy bit. It’s the enabling racism and genocide, being spineless, and blind trust in institutions and civility bit that could cost them the election.

Best we can do is laundering the far-right narrative that there is a crisis at the border and advocating for the far-right border bill that Republicans want.

Dropsite News consists of former The Intercept journalists and they do really good work.

Also, anything that Mehdi Hasan does.

I’m on mobile, but I stand by what I said. Responding to someone that was responding to someone else that was being obstinate with average response when I ask for help is missing the actual point.

The OP that I quoted wanted to be combative, got a combative response, and then someone else you made it about “asking for help”, which is their your fault if they you think that this thread had anything to do with it.

No it literally doesn’t work it’s not compatible. Also don’t be a bitch…

That is a really interesting way of asking for help. Next time I need help, I’ll try being obstinate and predetermining that the thing I need help with just doesn’t work while calling them a bitch and see how that goes.

I usually try actually asking for help and refrain from calling the person I’m talking to a bitch.

Is it? The FTL is restrictive about who is allowed to redistribute and modify anything covered by it. Is this data covered under a different license?

I’m well aware of the fact that Lucien Graeves is a shitbag, but TST does great work in spite of that, and they’re one of the only organizations that fight theistic nationalists in ways that actually bring attention to the issue.

Until a better group with unproblematic leadership comes along (maybe Global Order of Satan if they gain the resources to do similar activism?), I’d say it makes sense to critically support their work instead of dissuading people from supporting them at all.

Beto likely lost because he said the stupidest shit that a dem running in Texas could have said (“we will take your guns!”) and it killed his campaign momentum. And even then, he only lost by 2-3%.

To my knowledge, Allred hasn’t shot himself in the foot like that, so there is a real chance for him to win.

SmartTubeNext is is the good (no ads) version of YouTube for AndroidTV devices.

It’s a temporary ban. That is less of a consequence than what you’d face for airing a little too much copyrighted content or something, except for saying shit that could have come from Hitler’s mouth.

Ah. If we’re talking mobile, all bets are off. FIDO prompts require Apple and Google to provide the necessary APIs for third-party devs to use, and are still somewhat new. It’s likely that since iOS browsers are still just re-skinned WebKit (until the EU stuff settles and Mozilla implements Gecko on iOS), FF on iOS can leverage the OS APIs, but making it work with Gecko on Android requires more work.

I was referring to desktop, where those limitations aren’t a hindrance.

Correct. The spec is about making it easier and more secure to export your passwords and passkeys when you move from one password manager to another. People are misunderstanding this as some sort of federated authentication system to share your credentials between multiple password managers at the same time, which it is not.
