That depends on what one considers “the left”. Liberals call themselves leftists and a lot of them will defend him to the death.

cops carry 9mm pistols, so it would be incredibly easy for them to plant a mag during his being detained

Assuming he carries the same gun as them I guess. Mags aren’t universal.

Arguably campaign contributions already count as half bet half bribe

It really depends on what you consider a leftist. People on Reddit would call themselves “the left” and act like Obama is flawless and accuse you of being a maga if you feel otherwise.

Xbmc was renamed Kodi and it’s still revenant. It has a totally different use case than Plex or jellyfin and there’s plugins for both.

Yeah turning politics into a fandom changed the game for the worst in a lot of ways

You’re probably not going to reach a lot of trump supporters here. If you want to talk to the ones reasonable try twitter or Facebook.

My favorite thing about Lemmy is people are willing to make accurate criticisms about Obama and his policies instead of simping for him because he’s charasmatic and a Democrat.

How’s your 10 year old computer going to look when it’s 30 years old?

I don’t think so. I think if someone wants to change their gender that’s their business. It’s not something I’d want to do but calling it weird seems kind of judgy.

especially since everyone doing this is behind a modern router.

Are they? If they’re irresponsible enough to run an ancient OS it wouldn’t shock me if they’re also running “retro” network equipment

I don’t care what they’re running. Don’t connect an unsupported OS to the Internet or you’re eventually going to become my problem.

Please use a server OS for servers at your hayseed ass company

Those people are stupid. Run a version of windows that won’t make you part of a botnet and make you my problem or don’t run it at all.

Charging them in Illinois is another way

I’m no fan of CEOs but I don’t really want AI in charge of stuff either

Linux is the only way to actually get out from under the thumb of Microsoft

Aside from macos, bsd, ChromeOS, android, iOS, and templeos, sure.

Fix Bush’s mess? He doubled down on all of the worst excesses of Bush’s mess. Ramped up drone strikes, invaded more countries, renewed the patriot act, violated the war powers act by staying in Syria too long, tried to arrest Snowden. 2 more terms of bush would have looked identical.

I mention it every time I’m in the jury selection process to ensure I never have to do jury duty

Yeah, he got there because he’s a really good liar. Just like every other president.
