The letter is suggesting that the vote counting machines were compromised, adding fake digital votes to the total after it had counted all of the real physicsl ballot votes. The letter suggests that a hand count of the physical voted would show the manipulation, because the extra digital votes would not show up in the physical ballots.

I’m not experienced enough to know for sure if those claims would truly hold water, but to my layman mind, it sure does sound like a compelling case to at least do a hand count.

Andor especially so, and in the best ways!

Wish it wasn’t so relevant tho.

Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes is a supremely good book to start with for an absolute beginner, and I would recommend it over Automate the boring stuff (that would be a great followup though!).

It assumes absolutely no prior knowledge, explains concepts extremely clearly, never presents too much to overwhelm and frustrate beginners, and includes a good range of projects that should interest any perspective programmer.

You’re welcome! :D

Having such a clear example from history of how these things play out might give us an advantage they didn’t have. I hope so, anyway.

I think XMPP would be the most appropriate tech for us to adopt, since it’s easily self-hostable, has great mobile apps, is federated, and doesn’t require an always connected bot to record chat history to know what was said while you were away. It’s functionally an improved IRC.

Have they tried raise VAT and kill all the poor?

Glad you found it helpful! It’s a shame that PFAS isn’t going to be banned for general purpose uses anytime soon, it’s so damn dangerous for the benefits it brings.

Freetube for Android is available in the IzzyOnDroid repo for F-droid, but not the default F-droid repo, unfortunately. You may want to opt for a different solution, perhaps FluxTube… Though that is only on IzzyOnDroid too.

I looked into them a while ago, and from what I can find, they seem to be legit in that they really do use the profits for tree planting.

To someone politically literate, that much is clear as day.

For the average person, they are easily tricked by false promises that the right will do the opposite. :(

Neoliberalism utterly failing to staunch the ransacking of the working class due to capitalism

”Why is the right gaining momentum???"

Smoothbore musket was the standard issue firearm during that period, with a smattering of rifled muzzleloaders as well.

“What the fuck dude, you’re talking like there’s no paper in tray two after I just filled it. Fuck off!”

Just to clarify, I did not post this as an allegory for the election loss, we don’t need any myths to soothe our conscience. It just popped up in my subscriptions and thought it was interesting enough to post.

If anything, I think its conclusion about feelings and beliefs ultimately trumping objective truth is quite applicable to MAGA.

Maybe I misinterpreted what Feral was getting at, but at least from my reading of it, he’s saying the myth was ‘half-true’ in the sense that that propaganda was effectively sold to the lowly enlisted/conscripted men to give them self-justification to fight. Whereas the truth was indeed that the whole thing was just for slavery. The myth then became even more useful after defeat to help them accept it ‘honorably’. His conclusion about what people believe and feel ultimately having a larger impact than the actual truth seems to confirm that reading, but I could be wrong.
