Well, those 2 parties have had a stranglehold on our entire lawmaking infrastructure since anybody currently alive was born. They've had a loooooong time to implement election rules and campaign finance laws that only benefit themselves at the expense of those smaller parties.

Yes. This is home-made out-of-band management, like HP's iLO, Dell's iDRAC, or generic IPMI. Not only is it a virtual KVM (keyboard/video/mouse), you can pass the host's power button through this device so you can remotely power on or reset a hung or powered-off system, or mount and boot from a virtual floppy or ISO to completely reinstall the remote system.

Yes, push their poor people further into poverty and strengthen the conservative stranglehold on the state!

My understanding is that the US primaries are private affairs and the organisations can pick their candidates however they want. The democrats certainly did some unethical shit to snub Bernie in favor of Hillary, but I don't know if Primary shenanigans can qualify as the crime of election fraud (unless some of the states protect their primary elections in the same way they do for real elections).

I wish! I've got the hardware to support it, but neither of the two ISPs available at my house support IPv6.

Oh yeah, I'm also keeping a eye on that. Every time I see nvidia pop up in my updates, I try logging into Wayland and doing my usual tasks. If it starts working, that'll just let me extend the life of this card. I'll probably still strongly consider switching flavors with my next card.

Is this a concern with electric vehicles? I haven't heard of this being an epidemic that we even need to worry about.

Yeah, one one hand, I don't get how this isn't straight-up human trafficking. On the other hand, I have a feeling Chicago and New York and all those other places are helping these people in a much more compassionate manner than they would have been handled in Texas, so there's at least that. I don't know what a good answer is to the whole situation, but at the moment, asylum seekers are getting better help than if they were thrown in Texas border cages.

Do you have evidence or just conspiracy theory gossip?

I love it. I don't run across these OSes or distros every day, so when I see that my mom has version "23h2" of windows 11, I know it was last updated in the second half of 2023n so it must be recently patched. Likewise, if I run across an Ubuntu 23.10 install, it's not any older than October 2023, but the 18.04 deployment is a few years old.

This won't be the year of the Wayland desktop for me unless I can afford to replace my Nvidia card this year. I'll never buy one again, but I've still gotta suffer with the one I have a bit longer.

That's also how small conservative towns and churches in Texas handle their homeless. They put them on busses and send them to the larger cities in Texas.
