@BrodieOnLinux Even more context.

Linus is saying that he's submitting code that fails and seems untested, so that sounds like a pretty substantial point.

@SherBeareth The problem is, everybody thinks this description applies to their opponents and not to their own favored candidates.

The problem is, this isn't helpful in such a world.

@steter Free ride from mass media? What in the world?

Media has been pummeling the guy for all of these years, and rightly so! NYT specifically has been incredibly critical of him.

It's ridiculous this story that he's been getting a free ride month after month we've had the statistics showing how much mass media has been against him.

@europesays Musk is a troll.

And in the troll way, just the fact that you're thinking about him means the money was well spent.

If you want to get back at Musk, ignore him.

@ShingoMouse this is a matter of law, not democracy.

They need to be following the law regardless of how popular or unpopular it may be, as our lawmakers set down the law that we are all to follow.

When you talk about signing petitions to the court like this it's about putting people beyond the law, and that's not okay.

@europesays kind of authoritarian there...

@PDFlynn You're missing the important part, though. It's not about the justice system: we don't need to lock people up for lies. Particularly politicians.

The question you should be asking is, why don't people care? Why does the general public just not care about Trump lying? They know he's lying, and they don't care, and why is that?

It's because the institution that is government has lost so much of the faith of the general population that no one cares, and how did that come to be? How did the government fail the people so badly that they don't even care if politicians are overtly lying?

So this isn't about the justice system. This is about the interaction between the government and its people. This is about a government that failed so badly that the people just don't care anymore.

This is the people responding to a failing government.

You have to approach it from that direction to try to figure out solutions.

@monkeyninja I mean, the data says otherwise.

We definitely see younger people doing all of those things that you say they're not doing.

Don't buy into the lies, the sensationalized news stories, the propaganda meant to deceive.

@MediaActivist I mean, it's just looking at the definition of pandemic and noticing that the the current state of affairs doesn't match that definition.

@moira but you are saying things that are factually incorrect, repeating stories that are so easy to debunk, so it's not going to get anywhere.

It'll just come across as gaslighting.

No, the president can't set up concentration camps. Presidents don't have that power. And we've heard that cry of wolf before. It didn't happen last time because it's not possible, and it won't happen this time because it's not possible.

No, the Supreme Court did not geant the president such immunity. You can pull up the Supreme Court ruling for yourself and see that those claims are just false. The Supreme Court's opinion is public record, you can read it for yourself and it says the exact opposite.

I could go on.

So you're not going to get through to anyone who's actually informed about this stuff. You're just going to sound like somebody who has been misled by propaganda from politicians who are counting on you not knowing any better.

That's exactly why you should stop trusting such liars.

@LilHulkQ No I don't hate Harris at all.

She keeps saying things that show that she doesn't really understand even what branch of government she's working for, that show that she doesn't know how any of this works, that shows that she's completely unqualified, and all of that adds up to potentially letting Trump back into the White House.

I don't hate her. If I hate anything, it's that the Democratic Party decided to ignore voters and nominate such a compromised candidate.

I don't care about Harris. She's just another unimpressive candidate who slept through courses on civics and economics and just being a generally good human. Just another politician.

I hate that her undemocratic nomination puts Trump within even the possibility of election. It didn't have to be this way.

@AnthonyBaker Harris has already promised to bypass Congress and do things that presidents don't have authority to do.

And we know from Trump's track record that he will.

So yeah, they're both going to be setting themselves up for impeachment if our representatives have the guts to hold them to the law.

But I don't think it's about media holding candidates to a much higher standard. It's about voters. We keep reelecting candidates, particularly representatives, who keep screwing us over. We keep giving them power.

We should stop.

@uspolitics It sounds like the reporter from the independent didn't really keep up to speed with what was happening in the US here.

Mainstream conservative outlets had no problem dealing with the weird moniker. They easily pivoted and said that if Democrats think such and such is weird, well that just shows how out of touch they are. And then the conservatives went on to point out that their Democrats did things that they considered weird. It was an easy accusation to turn to their advantage.

Same thing here though. It sounds like the reporter from The Independent doesn't understand how this spectacle played for its audience. Conservatives like this stuff. And it's a rally, it's by conservatives for conservatives, so it accomplished its mission of preaching to the choir.

Really this just shows that the independent is out of touch with the US. It doesn't understand what it's talking about.

@knittingknots2 I mean, if you watched the segment... it kind of was.

And that kid glove handling might not be doing Harris any favors as people wonder if she is up for serious interviewing.

@curiousgawker Well it's because we've spent decades rewarding them for that kind of spectacle. It's been positive reinforcement training.

Their crowd wants to see it, so they gave it to them.

It's not mental disorder. It's performance for the people who want to see that performance.

@cdarwin The problem is, Johnson has to act on behalf of the entire House. He can't command their votes. So everything he does as Speaker of the House has to be done with awareness of what the members want to do and how they will vote.

If we want different direction out of the House then we need to stop reelecting the same idiots. But until we do, Johnson has to work with the people that we empower to be our representatives there.

@fkamiah17 No the opposite.

It says it's paying them NOT to hit targets that would do things like start WW3.

@LilHulkQ Well because we listen to her saying things that aren't serious, making proposals that won't work, many of which are even illegal, but most of which show this enormously ignorant perspective of how business, and governance, works.

She's not a serious person. The Democratic party made a huge mistake nominating her and risking Trump being re-elected.

We can see she's not serious based on her own words. So we're just screwed for the next 4 years. We should not let the Democratic party forget that they made this mistake.

@JeremyMallin Oh I definitely am.

And even just with regard to this platform, the standards behind it seem very inefficient when it comes to bandwidth. And there have been complaints from instance operators about that.

But yeah, It seems like with great capacity comes great disregard for efficiency.
