  • Let’s just get a few facts out of the way:

    • Genocide is the worst crime humanity is capable of
    • The US has a direct hand in multiple genocides
    • Record levels of homelessness in the richest nation on earth is unacceptable
    • Death from preventable illnesses in the richest nation on earth is unacceptable
    • Highest infant mortality in the western world in the richest nation on earth is unacceptable
    • Democrats are not interested in changing the status quo
    • Republicans want a return to chattel slavery
    • Neither party is willing to help us, nor will they ever allow us to vote third party by adding ranked choice or anything like that
    • Therefore, our best bet to break the cycle is to collectively vote for, say, the green party

    You think leftists are unrealistic for being disgusted with Democrats? The genocide was live streamed to the world. Did you not see any of it? Did it not move you?

    By the way, the Democratic party is not left-wing. It is right-wing. Please educate yourself.

    Also, are we hopeless? Fuck no. Boycotts have been making progress. Noncompliance has accomplished a lot. Unionizing, if you can swing it, can accomplish a lot. Meshtastic can offer resiliant communications if Trump declares a national emergency. Democrats want you to panic. Leftists want you to organize.

    This is not that big of a deal most of the time, since you are the only person interacting with your computer, but it’s worth remembering when you decide to recycle or donate – you have to securely wipe in that case. Also bear in mind, if you do encrypt your drive, there are now more possibilities for total data loss.

    Oh, fun fact: you can change a users windows password inside Linux. Comes in handy for recovery, ie, user forgot their password.

    Claws searches reasonably quickly and unlike thunderbird it isn’t a total resource hog. OTOH it suffers from not being multi threaded, which means when you first install it, expect it to take literally hours before it finishes syncing all your emails.

    Mutt is not multi threaded either. Only thunderbird and kmail are, and kmail is a buggy mess, while thunderbird eats your ram like it’s a plate of cheese danishes.
