That’s what he said, america…

I hear you. You are in a difficult position, yes. You prefer to live comfortably in a dictatorship rather than risking your future. It doesn’t make you a bad person. Most of us are afraid and I’m not arrogant enough to affirm without any doubt that I’d do differently. But you must realize the fact that you make that choice allows you to be part of the wrong side. If (or when) the US invades Canada, your work will make it possible. Your taxes will finance it. Your work may even directly contribute to the logistics of an invasion. And, as unfair as it may be, it does make you the enemy. After you digested that fact you will probably realize how utterly insulting it is for you to just apologize.

Unlike you (or maybe even me) there were thousands, even millions of people who were put in that same position and made the other choice. In my own country we fought against a dictatorship. My own grandfather was in jail for being part of the opposition. These people had everything to lose. They were fired, arrested, tortured and even killed. They had jobs, family and dreams and risked it all for what is right. But they were exceptional men. Most of us are just normal and we don’t have it in us to fight so we become a clog in the machine. But, please, at least have the decency to not apologize and thinking it somewhat absolves you of being part of it.

Dude, this guy is calling Trudeau “governor” and blatantly rejecting Canada’s independence. He’s openly declaring that he WILL take European territory. He’s openly taking the side of a dictator and ripping of your own constitution and international law not to mention calling for a genocide. He WILL start WW3 with Putin holding his leash and you WILL fight for him!

And here you are acting like he just raised your taxes or took an opposing political choice. Protesting? You should be burning the house down. But, ok…you have other priorities. I understand that. But by doing nothing you are taking his side. You are making a choice even if you don’t like that choice. But that choice makes you our enemy.

Remember, back in the 30s and 40s many Germans talked just like you. Many had nothing against Jews and Poles. But ALL of them contributed to the genocide one way or another. But they, at least, had the shame to not apologize like they had just spilled a glass of milk.

Are you doing something about it? Are you outside protesting?

If not, fuck your apologies. If you’re not doing something to stop this then you are a part of this and you are my enemy. Your so-called President pulled the biggest and most infamous betrayal in modern history. Your country has pulled a 180 and stabbed their allies in the back and soon they WILL attack us militarily.

I repeat, if you’re not doing something to stop this then you are a part of this. At this point, apologies are insulting. Pick your side.

Jesus fucking Christ, I wished they had all voted Democrat just to shut you up. Trump is bad enough but hearing you guys complain about this over and over is just too much.

Let it go, for fuck sakes. Deal with it.

How amoosing!

They are both a docker-compose on the same machine.

Maybe Musk should sue them…

Not only do I don’t mind multiple instances, I welcome it. It’s a feature for me, not a bug. But having to create multiple accounts is a no-no and what keeps people away. People say you only need one but that’s not true if you want to be active in multiple instances.

If the fediverse had a way to unify account creation, that would be a game changer. It’s pretty much what’s holding the fediverse down, be it Lemmy, Pixelfed, PeerTube, etc. It’s frustrating because without that limitation I could see the corpos being given a run for their money.

Barely. The loss in 2016 and the tight race in 2020 wasn’t enough to sound the alarms. They still tried to win with Harris because she wasn’t Trump, instead of finding a worthy candidate.

Sorry, man. I despised Harris but still preferred her to win, hands down. But Democrats have only themselves to blame. Trying to blame the voters who refused to vote in Harris just because she wasn’t Trump in dishonest and anti-democratic. It’s the exact posture that will keep enabling Democrats to come forward with these crappy candidates and (unsuccessfully) blackmailing the progressist voters to vote for them.

Thus, the exact posture that allows Trump to win.

Third party voters didn’t cost Harris the election. But if it did, you’d better your ass the Democrats would take the next election seriously. And they would win.

It’s a common proverb in Portuguese, not just in Brazil.

“What do you mean ‘repeatedly’? My transmission is tricky!”

We don’t really need the power to be able to attack the US. Just enough to be able to defend ourselves and that is far from impossible even in 4 years.

If the US takes over Greenland, whatever the means, there’s no way that small population stays. Deportation or gentrification they will be kicked out and replaced by Americans.

I feel your frustration but this isn’t a petty dictator with his boot on his people’s neck. He was elected. The US, as a nation, chose this. You are choosing your new allies and your new enemies and being quite clear about it.

As an European it’s pretty clear now that the US is our enemy. This is just the start. We really need to put our military in order and prepare for the inevitable attack.

It’s been four months but I wanted to say here you were the only one close to the solution.

I’ve went from 7 to LTSC. I didn’t realize how cool LTSC was until I had to use a W10 machine at work. There’s a good chance I’ll go full Linux when the support ends but I’ll have enough time to consider it.
