Definitely not a step up. I don’t think…

Not to brag, but my mom let me have her old palm pilot from work.

Guess I was pretty cool when I peaked 20 years ago.

Oooh. Thanks for that, makes more sense now.

What do you use for tiling? I’ve been curious about this setup, but the software setup sounds like a pain compared to 2 monitors.

DVI had an analog variant as well. I’m obligated to say this because that cable compatibility confused the shit out of me at least once.

You had to check for pins above and below the wide “dash” shaped pin to know if it supported analog.

Did he? I missed all this news. Googling now I only see that Simmons said he didn’t give permission and didn’t want to be involved when they tried, but didn’t see him try to shut it down.

I’m curious to hear if he really wanted it stopped. It’s tough to understand his tone in his quote, but it feels slimy that they released the short anyway.

No, I’m more concerned with how the entire world will be impacted by electing Trump again. What’s happening in Gaza will continue to happen whether we elect Biden or Trump.

Trump on Gaza:

“You’ve got to finish the problem,” Trump said on Fox News on Tuesday when asked about the war. “You had a horrible invasion that took place that would have never happened if I was president.”

He said on Oct. 11 that a future Trump administration would “fully support Israel defeating, dismantling, and permanently destroying the terrorist group Hamas,”

That month, his campaign also said that, if elected again, he would bar Gaza residents from entering the U.S. as part of an expanded travel ban.

Suggesting that the Gaza situation is a dealbreaker for Biden is trying to hold him to a higher standard than anyone holds Trump, and that higher standard by itself tells you who the better candidate is.

There probably isn’t a single politician that I fully agree with.

There are different levels of disagreement and what I’m pointing out is people trying to use Gaza as a way to fully discredit Biden as a candidate because they have no other scandals to use against him.

The Gaza example was already whataboutism. I only bring up the Trump example to emphasize that we already have historical evidence that he won’t handle Ukraine or Gaza any better than Biden has. He only uses those situations to benefit himself.

I agree that being the lesser of two evils doesn’t absolve Biden’s part in it, but I hope you reconsider supporting him. As frustrating as it is that neither is perfect, it doesn’t help anyone to allow an even worse candidate to win in protest.

It’s not an accident that people suddenly care so much about US foreign policy when it’s convenient to bash Biden before an election. It’s a very concerted propaganda effort on social media that you’re either intentionally or unintentionally a part of.

Before the last election Trump tried to extort Ukraine by withholding military aid unless Ukraine helped investigate his political opponent, Biden.

I don’t agree with what’s happening in Israel/Palestine either, but I’m more concerned at how often it’s being used as this “trump card” to lower Biden to Trump’s level. It’s still not remotely close.

I’m not sure how it’s their fault when Texas’s attorney general sued them specifically for not complying.

Agreed. Lemmy seems to be Linux, Star Trek, politics, and a dash of shitpost.

I can handle all of it except the constant feed of politics. It’s a US election year so that probably accounts for a lot of it.

But that’s on their terms.

Well sure Batman can beat the trolley problem with prep time.

Maybe they were “just following orders”.

If they like sun, surely they like plasma.

Huh. I’m not convinced text message screenshots warrant any amount of artistic license.

That’s a really interesting list.

I’m surprised how many are presumed to be stress when so many people show the same symptoms.

My guess for a lot would be social, herd mentality. That probably lines up with your boredom idea too.
