I see you have yet to meetmy old friend Debian, who was supporting i386 until 2 weeks ago, and includes a much broader library of softwate than Microsoft has ever maintained.

It's just as clear it is impossible to veer right enough to scrape a single vote off the republican ticket. The left will criticize, but veer left and at least some will hold their noses and (protest sign in hand) vote anyway.

No, the church supporters take a tax deduction that leads to everyone still footing the bill.

I've seen them used more often as rolling papers.

If Newsom would stop going hard right, I'd love it more.

I think you mean their listener's license. Wow, that takes me back.

The loophole is that while you own the car, you only license the software that allows it to run. They didn't take the car away, "just" terminated the license 🤬

Daily driver here. Stable for servers, testing for workstations.

Debian Testing isn't as stable as Stable, but has been far more reliable than anyone else's desktop releases. I'm also not a fan of Fedora and others' policy of ending support on the day of a new release.

If for some reason you decide to hold back on an upgrade of Testing, you've still got five years of patch support coming. And if I do want to live on the bleeding edge, there's always Sid (also called Unstable). That's where you'll run into the kind of instability you can expect from a rolling release.

My favorite will probably always be Gentoo, but I don't always have time for that hobby.

Not saying this applies to Sydney Sweeney, but:

In some places, you really can't assume that registered republican means votes republican. What I mean by that is there are deep red counties in Florida and other red states where most local offices run unopposed, and the only way to have any say in who holds those offices is to vote in the closed republican primary. The only way to do that is register as republican.

Some people do that to mitigate damage, and then vote straight ticket against the republicans in the general election. This can be a useful tactic even in places where the democratic party is active enough to field candidates, but not enough to have two running in a primary.

In this case there are other signs and I don't think we're dealing with tactical registration, but it's good to be aware of when judging people by their voter registration without knowing a lot about the local politics.
