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.

And justice was served. I got a whole $12 for their wrongdoing!

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.

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.

I started disabling JavaScript by default with uBlock Origin a few months ago. I am surprised to report that a bunch of sites work fine without JavaScript.

There are definitely some sites that actually need it, and for those, it’s just one click to permanently allow for that site. But most of the sites I need work better with just CSS and HTML because there are no stupid nags or social media sign-in buttons that pop-up anymore.

I have the ZSA Moonlander and Voyager keyboards. I like them a lot.

I also have the Ploopy Adept and Nano mice that also run QMK.

I bought all of them preassembled. I’d love to know what other brands are out there that sell preassembled peripherals that can run open firmware.

+1 for Ploopy mice. I have the Ploopy Adept, and I’ll never go back to another mouse. They mostly make trackballs, but they do have a “regular” mouse if trackballs aren’t your thing.

The biggest problem with Ploopy is that they only seem to make mice for people with bigger hands, so if that’s not you, you’re kind of screwed :/

Seriously. I’m really into keyboards with QMK, but I buy prebuilt keyboards and mice that are capable of running it because if using QMK required me to solder something, I wouldn’t be able to. Soldering is a skill that most people don’t have.

That has nothing to do with what’s happening. Twitter can’t be fucked to appoint a legal team to comply with Brazilian law, so they don’t get to operate there. Simple as.

That is a rad *fetch image 😎
