If you made a list of your top choices for president, from 1-whatever, would kamala be higher than trump, or lower?

it's both

it's a vote thrown away, which benefits trump, if you'd be a kamala supporter

this is so not complicated the mental gymnastics on display could go to the olympics

as for your points

1. It's mathematically impossible for a third party candidate to win, no amount of throwing away your vote will change the mathmatical certainty, this shows you did not understand the video you responded to
2. congrats, you have funded a party that can with absolute certainty accomplish nothing, woop de do.
3. Voting always does that
4. At the cost of benefitting the party you like the least... there's so many ways to do that that are risk free but instead you risk trump for god knows what reason

by not voting for a candidate that can win, your vote is entirely thrown away, it could've been used on someone who had a chance, but was wasted, therefore it benefitted the party you least support

vote strategically, or why bother?

Ah yeah, i'm actually drew devault, i have an extensive history on lemmy where i've been secretly posting by none of my usual account names since 2019

you actually strike me as mentally ill, so, i won't punch down.

Oh wow, did you actually read the report?? Saintly... you have convinced me you are the mentally ill one

now that this is implemented it should just work, as far as i'm aware.

what they really need to work on is single window capture and global keyboard shortcuts... crazy that it still doesn't have them, they're literally the only missing features before sway is feature complete and they've been missing for AGES.

People who are brand new to linux should start with immutable kde based distros, you'll have a much better time with fedora kinoite.

I'm down to help support infinitely, my matrix is available on my profile, feel free to message with any troubleshooting needs.

...that link did not convince me that he is a mentally ill creep at all?

Is there a part you actually care about in particular?

they go away so fast i can't even read them, so, they serve no purpose to me, other than being a brief gross flash where my startup animation goes away

Yes, the short version is that immutability means that the filesystem (except for your home folder) is read-only and updated all at once.

This makes it so that updates never break the machine, and you can roll back to previous versions of the machine all at once, seamlessly.

For new people I always recommend fedora kinoite, but if you're highly experienced, immutability provides little value as you can always just chroot and unbreak the system yourself.

They don't.

people who are new should be using immutable distros exclusively unless they're looking at this as a major project where they learn everything about it, IMHO

i've been helping people switch for a long time, all the dumbest things that have happened to people have been stopped by immutability.
