Those seem like niche things to hold on to. A 5090 should work just fine under Linux, what feature do you use that isn’t supported? Also a 9070 XT is capable of doing ray tracing. You don’t always have to have the absolute most powerful card.
I don’t have an HDR monitor so can’t say how well it works in Linux, but you can survive without HDR. Is a better lighting contrast that big of a deal?
And you’re not going to get ranked choice voting without a new party.
Not true, parts of the US have ranked choice. You have ignored the divide and conquer point. You cannot have a new party before ranked choice without splitting the vote.
However, there are a lot of people who don’t vote, and a lot of people who are unhappy about both parties.
Get those people to vote in democratic primaries. Green and Libertarian exist for people unhappy with both parties and they just help to split the vote and barely increase voter turnout. Republicans strategiests promote the Green party because it helps them win elections by splitting the vote.
There are Republican voters disappointed in Trump who still can’t bring themselves to vote Dem because of all the propaganda they’ve put in their heads.
A new party won’t break that propaganda, you have to break the propaganda machine. If a new party was a threat, they’d just spin up new propaganda and guess what, those people will fall in line and not vote for your new party.
A bigger problem is making it an actually big party, getting media attention, getting money to campaign with, etc. US politics runs on money. Because yet another Green or Libertarian Party won’t be helping.
You clearly understand the difficulty of a new party. That’s why democratic primaries are vastly easier. You need less money, you need fewer votes to win, you can operate entirely in a smaller market, you don’t need national media. Once you’ve won, you’ve already eliminated a candidate you’d have to run against and won’t be splitting the vote with.
You can’t start a new party without rank choice voting otherwise you’ll just split the vote. You’ll be falling for the divide and conquer strategy. Vote for progressives in democratic primaries and support rank choice voting. Only once a vast majority of the country is solidly rank choice should talk of a new party even be mentioned.
I fucking hate this logic. Trump took over the Republican party through the primary without Republican party support. People need to vote for the progressives in the Democratic primaries and not wait for the Democrat establishment to endorse them.
CO2 isn’t dangerous to inhale until after 1000 ppm, so we’ve still got a way to go for in the inhaling department.
I feel like people believe this because the next two movies were so awful. I’ve always felt like the force awakening was worse than the prequels. None of the good story telling from a new hope was transferred.
You didn’t protest evil, you stepped aside and said, “I’m ok if the world gets more evil”. Your “protest” did nothing to stop or reduce the genocide, it’s gotten worse. You’ve made it less safe for people who actually want to protest the genocide. Your only action was that you feel moral superiority in your own mind.
Is DSL not available in rural areas? That still uses the phone line and should be significantly faster. I don’t understand how people can still even use dial up, can a 56k modem load most websites in a reasonable time frame? I should try throttling my connection and seeing if it’s viable.
