I’m curious. In this context, what are “whites”? Are Jewish people not white now or something? Or does “white” mean something else to him?

I want to talk about trains.

All locked down here in South Portland, which is about 50 minutes or so from Lewiston.

No. There was a youth league Wednesday, though.

Why am I not having any issues blocking ads in YouTube? I use uBlock Origin and Firefox.

Stop all the hate for nuclear. It’s just a way for the fossil fuel industry to cause infighting among those of us who care about the climate. If we can make energy free or close to it, we should. The closer everything comes to being free the better.

I love AwesomeWM as a window manager. It’s pretty easy, even for a complete beginner. I highly recommend.

As an editor, much of my job–in fact, most of my job–involves reviewing PDFs with Acrobat Pro and marking them up with the markup tools.

sure is, bub

interesting. I wonder whether that’s specific to the mobile hardware. I have a 3080 running just fine on Mint.

I was only trying to point out that there is no political left in America. I wasn’t trying to hurt your feelings.

I just want to point out that the Democratic party is also full of fascists. The two-party political system is just a smoke and mirrors act. The rich still get richer and the poor still get poorer, even when Democrats are in charge. (Take the present, for instance.)

And, sure, I know it’s popular to say that the Democrats aren’t as bad. That doesn’t mean they’re good or that they should be lauded for simply not being Republicans.

Or, please, trains.

There is an essentially immeasurable difference between support for anarchy and support for coercive power structures. Marxist-Leninists hope to exchange one coercive power structure for another. It is little different from the imperialism it would hope to supplant. Piracy belongs to anarchy, not Marxism.

unfortunately, my system seems to need to compile the shaders before I start the game if it’s the first time I’ve started the game that steam session.

It isn’t native, but it works very well. It uses Vulkan.

Steam Deck is changing PC gaming. The better Steam Deck gets, the better gaming on Linux becomes. There are dozens of us.

I have an Nvidia GPU and have had no problem playing BG3 or Diablo IV, for instance. Nvidia drivers are a lot better than they used to be, at least by my estimation.

I suppose, more specifically, self identity as defined by one’s belonging to any number of a given set of social groups (e.g., fandom. nation, gender, race, religion, socioeconomic class, etc.)

I more or less believe that the concept of the self or of one’s identity is arbitrary: that there really is no self to identify.
