80% of the time I do this with the button that revokes all other privileges too: "uninstall"

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I hate the term "Genocide Joe":

  • it doesn't put enough fault on Netanyahu
  • its an in group term, if you are in the group you know what it means, if not its either has no meaning, or is taken too literally/incorrectly.
  • The middle east is a mess, we make it worse in every attempt to improve it, but some of those religiously using this phrase I don't think want peace, just wish a different group was winning. This is a small subset of those using the phrase, but seem to be driving the political outcome by an oversized amount.

See the expression should be Netanyahu is treating the Palestinians like Hitler did the Jews. So why are we [Joe/Harris] so blindly following this.

And I know the political answer to this is Joe/Harris were trying to use there position for political pressure.. I'd say it failed but they did get a last min ceasefire, so history may prove otherwise.

First realize what is being talked about is the generally agreed upon open source definition https://opensource.org/osd

While it seems they have simplified the license removing some reasons it's not to be considered open source, it's still restricting commercial uses in the following two restrictions:

"You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for non-commercial purposes.

Notwithstanding the above, you may not remove or obscure any functionality in the software related to payment to the Licensor in any copy you distribute to others."

In short open source would only require the software be distributed with source under the same licensed as recieved, thus can't restrict it to non-commercial, nor prevent the changing of payment details.

Obviously it's a reasonably permissive license, and possibly won't impact you from using it as an end user. It's just has some restrictions for the creators to request payment, and to prevent third parties profiting off the product. Think Creative Commons, share alike, non-commercial for software. (While most will consider this fair its not quite fully open)

One reason they went this route was to prevent third parties form distributing their software with ads and using it in systems they are actively attempting to provide alternatives for (ie software that may spy on your system useage/and call home) the non-commercial clause has more teeth than say MIT where it would be relicensed, or GPL that while the software source would need to be provided might still be embedded in a ecosystem.

I do wonder how much this has changed:

https://www.npr.org/2021/11/09/1053929419/feel-like-you-dont-fit-in-either-political-party-heres-why

But I'm tired of those on here thinking the Democrats need to become the "progressive left" when that is not who the Democratic party represents.. Or let's be clear it's only a small but loud fraction of it, that keeps threatening on leaving.

That said I'm not sold trying to go after the "populist right" was the right Move, stick to centrist working class.

Of course if the far left didn't vote.. The party is stuck moving even more to the right .. So.. We will see.

What would interest me more is a "party" of leftist that:

  • provides people to local town/county elections (and further up as it gains success)
  • promotes democrats that fit their views (AOC for example) note this is not running as a third party, just promoting those that exist
  • dosnt run against other stron democrats in the larger races, president in particular this is a central roll elect someone that will help get your policies in place.

More important promote, explain, and teach the pogressive policies and how it will help people, and be willing to debate pros/cons of other ideas. This exists I feel, but not on this echo chamber..

Coffee grows on Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and recently in a little bit in CA (to add to water problems)

But Labor + limited amounts means it won't be cheaper

I would need to know what US state [if any] you are registerer to vote in to look up what your primary options were. And how you might have used it best to state an opinion.

In NJ:

We did have the uncommited option (got 9%, nearly the rest to Biden at the time, you could have also written in any other elegable person) However we also had a senate race:

In the democratic primary senator race, the results were (aprox) 9% for Lawrence Hamm 16% for Patricia Campos-Medina 75% for Andy Kim

If you want the US to be less involved with the Netanyahu government Kim was the worse of the three.

And this decision (ie who will be in the senate, driving laws) makes a huge difference in the party wide policy, that is the primary policy Biden (now Harris) is following.. Since the president is inherently a centrist roll. (Ie center of those the people elect, this can of course shift left/right/up/down/ect with the electorate)

Is the system perfect no.. (but posts on instant runnoff voting, or ranked choice will make the post a book, and they are not yet the system in play, last these systems would really only help reiterate the signal the primaries give.. It would be still someone in the center of the electorate at the top.. And if we are lucky more parties)
