Yeah we heard a lot of “decent people from sides” after the Charlottesville attack, namely. Talk about relativism!

Welcome to the club! I think in most democratic nations nowadays the right is buddying up with fascists. At first it was scary, but now it’s mostly depressing to see it’s become the new norm.

Makes me remember this one time in English class in France where one student called him Jean-François Kennedy. The whole class had a good laugh, including the teacher 😅

My last phone with standard Google Android had a 5000 mAh battery while the new degoogled has one with a bit more than 6000 mAh I think. Even then I feel the overall increase in battery life cannot be explained with hardware only. Without watching videos or playing games, I only have to charge my new phone every 3-4 days. And I’ve background apps like syncthing running all the time. I’ve just checked there’s actually a few other open source forks of android other than LineageOS. If you’re disappointed with it.

Well I use Firefox on vollaOS. It’s not fully degoogled in terms of apps for sure but I hope change will come.

I’m using the volla phone x23 which runs vollaOS, an android fork without all those pesky Google background processes. It uses MicroG to simulate them though, since most Android apps expect them now.

Ha! That’s one of the reasons I switched to a degoogled android phone. The extra battery life is quite noticeable.

Moderation is a problem here? It’s been awhile since I’ve seen someone misbehaving. Generally it was being offensive to individuals or groups of people in a post. But the last one I saw was months ago.

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? And to pee again and again ?

It’s also the name in French for end caps of bicycle break cables. #themoreyouknow

I your referring to the two-party monopoly I feel you. I’m from a place where it’s been the case until recently. It’s always “winner takes all”, but losers are still there after the elections. And they are you neighbors, your family, your colleagues. A bit more plurality and “coming together” wouldn’t hurt us to face the troubles ahead.

Wether it’s on the internet or at a bar counter, I like to engage in debate to better myself. If your goal is to turn every fanatic that crosses your path, you’re gonna be depressed real soon.

It’s unbelievable to me that someone outside of China would honestly defend Xi JinPing’s policy. I mean, look for the first Chinese expat in your country. He/she probably has some dark story about illegal secret cops trying to bring him/her back home because of a Winnie the poo post on Twitter.

I really like to watch competitive FPS like CS and Valorant but I’d hate to play them since my jam is turn-based games. Heck I’d even watch competitions of games like Lol or Starcraft but the Jargon is too much for me!

Oh the memories of frantically rubbing that screen to pet an imaginary puppy…

Common it’s not like the only option, other than Biden, is Trump. There still time to vouch for another Democrat. Or bring someone who’s not a politician to the stage. Like an NGO activist or the like. That’d be a democratic innovation.

“So mom, let me explain to you the difference between gender and sexual orientation.” I had this talk in a bar a long time ago and boy, a lot of people need this explained!

Depends who you think of when you say status quo. I’d say the left is popular in many urban areas (radical left in modest neighborhoods and environmentalist/social-democrats for the rest), but the far rights reaps almost every rural area.

There’s no need for that, unless parts of the US want independence, like some Scots regarding the UK. But break it all up because it’s too messy, not healthy? That’s what critics of the EU or the UN also say. Myself I’ve always been an advocate of unity and collaboration since it’s the only way we’re gonna be able to solve climate change and every other major world crisis.
