Sanders is not Trump. Only the former has populist rhetoric backed by tangible, if lofty, proposals.
Biden is not Trump. He is not as left as Sanders, but he is far from a Republican.
Pick one in the primary, and then vote him into office in November. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020

There are 10 kinds of people:
Those who understand binary

Biden Bad!
Bernie Bad!
Somebody has got to be the nominee. Rah rah for whomever you want. BUT, when its over ITS FUCKING OVER. I don't want to hear "Oh, the DNC stole.." horseshit.
You fucking vote Democrat when the election comes. I don't care if its a GOD DAMN rock pained blue, along as it's got a (D) after its name.
Trump must go. Its more important than Bernie vs Biden. its more important than your petty conspiracy theories.
I cannot handle 4 more years of Trump. I can't breathe.

(thread) Everyone should learn the Four Rules of gun safety
Guns are a thing that exist in the world, doubly so in the US. Regardless of your political opinion about them, it's a good idea to know how to interact with guns safely should the need arise. Even if you never want to be near 'em, this knowledge can only help you.
There's four universal rules that can prevent the vast majority of unintentional gun injuries and deaths. They're not complicated. The exact phrasing varies a bit but the message is always the same.

Don't forget the US Senate.
If we don't get the Republicans out of power there, McConnell will continue to damage this country with impunity.
In terms of DC villains:
Trump is the Joker, reckless and unhinged.
McConnell is Lex Luthor, scheming the *really* long game.
@dredmorbius you can use Google in a console browser, at least in Links and ELinks. Not a great experience but functional.

Just stumbled across #ParrotOS. A security-oriented distro, but designed to be a daily driver. I think I might just try this...

A US navy veteran writes an open letter to his Trump-supporting family - and oh boy, he does not hold back. If you've ever been disappointed that someone in your family voted for Trump, I urge you to read this. It's beautifully written & painfully honest.

Maybe ProtonVPN will work. It uses either OpenVPN (TCP or UDP mode) or IKEv2; maybe one of those are not blocked.

Yes, of course I want a rotary cell phone.
The power switch is an actual slide switch. No holding down a stupid button to make it turn off and not being sure it really is turning off or what. http://justine-haupt.com/rotarycellphone/

RT @nixcraft
The 90s were a weird time. RedHat Linux had the option to install os using the "redneck" language.
Debian's ELinks package is getting updates. The changelog says there's a 0.13.0 upstream but I have no idea where it is.

@woozle at least we don't have football hooligans here in the States.
@skunksarebetter
I don't, but have you tried plain Links lately? It's still being developed and IMO is almost as nice as ELinks for browsing.

Does anyone know if there is an #ELinks reboot? ELinks is a text mode browser that is among the most usable, and is a go-to of mine for looking things up when my system malfunctions and won't run the display server correctly. The problem is that the official version hasn't been updated since 2012, and OpenBSD removed it from their repositories because of potential security flaws.
If you know of a fork that is at least somewhat recent please tell.

@bhtooefr We had home-cooked beyond burgers a couple weeks ago. Taste and texture good, could still distinguish between these and meat. Would get them again once the price goes down a bit.
Haven't tried Impossible yet.
@dredmorbius I'm shocked, /shocked/ to find out that a senior official in this administration is a thin skinned bully with no respect for the press.
