    Sounds like my dad; " Your Firefox things doesn’t work" while Libreoffice on his PC couldn’t print.

      “Actually it’s because HP’s printer software is shit”

      “What? That printer was $300. It’s great! And it worked fine before you added these stupid Firefoxes”

        The printer randomly reconnects with a new MAC over USB (god knows how), registering as a new device. The WLAN interface died years ago and suddenly popped up again.

        But no, the printer is good, Firefox is at fault. 🙄

    All the talk about Biden being mentally unifit coming out of the Trump camp has to be pure projection. Trump is what, only 4 years younger? He’s had some gaffes just as bad imo

      They’re both mentally unfit IMHO. One is a bit demented, the other is lucky that his dementia happens to help cover a pile of seething shit.

        Okay, but we have to pick the lesser evil senile candidate. We only have two choices. And even if a third party guy were to run, a vote for that guy would actually be a vote for one of the other two guys.

          For sure. But the problem is systemic. Having to “vote for the lesser evil” is symptom of a “winner takes all”-election/governance.

          Throw in private interests in of the primaries candidate selection, add extensive private ownership of media coverage, and you complete the pretence of “by the people”.

          Either the US does a redo of the election process, or we’ll see if the next fascist coup attempt sticks or not. I suppose learning from history and Hitler’s initial failed coup, is a bit too on the nose. But, then again, had it happened in the US today, he wouldn’t have been put in jail for treason, and then might not have written Mein Kampf, and perhaps then also not manage to succeed in the second coup?

          It’s not like we’re repeating this storyline play by play. Hitler didn’t use the term “fake news” in an effort to undermine the function of the press and critical reporting… Because he spoke German, and they called it “große Lüge” instead.

          Oh well… shrug

        Biden isn’t a good person by any means but we’re literally comparing the next Hitler to Bill Clinton.

        Clinton got a blowjob and got impeached. Trump fucked a hooker and no one gave a single fuck.

          Bill Clinton is only 77, WTF why is our current president 81 when the former president 30 years ago is currently younger???

            Clinton (and Obama, for that matter) were exceptionally young presidents.

            Clinton was the youngest president at the time of his induction since Kennedy (Kennedy was also the youngest President at the end of his term for other reasons, namely because it was the youngest a President had ever died, if that makes sense). JFK was the youngest since TR, who was the youngest ever, and Obama was only a year or so younger than Clinton at the time of induction.

      He’s talking about investment funds that cut out fossil fuels from their portfolio and focus on green energy. You can probably find one in your retirement account if you want to allocate a certain percentage to it. I think they were trying to put a stop to it when he was still in office.

        Yes I think he’s conflating/confusing

        -deplatforming

        -divesting

        -financial institutions choosing not to do business with some people/orgs

        But it really is incomprehensible.

      Which is exactly who he’s talking to, which is exactly the type of person that has the time to get out and vote when the time comes without really thinking about anything else.

    A brilliant speech. The best speech. One that should be carved in stone and immortalised like that of a Roman emperor’s.

    Man, my Lemmy experience has been so much better after I added ‘Trump’ as filter keyword the Voyager app so I never see posts about that idiot again. And yet, here we are :-(

      Aye. That guy overstimulated my brain by saying insane things every other day, every week straight for YEARS. Was in quite the stimuli-dump when he quit being front and center.

        Why do his ramblings have to be reported so much, even here on Lemmy? Yes we know he’s a racing lunatic, no we don’t want to hear his latest vocal diarrhea. If he ever recovers, or dies, now that would be newsworthy.

          There’s a good chance he’ll be the next president, so it’s important to listen to him to know what to prepare for, IMO. In this example, it shows he’s probably going to remove all incentives for EVs, and force banks to service far-right extremist groups.
