@phaedral@mastodon.social @cmconseils@mastodon.social There is nothing easy about, change.

Change requires work and struggle, and sometimes sacrifice. But people want change. What they do not want is more of the same. We can go left, we can go right, but change is the goal.

@cmconseils@mastodon.social If it is not progressive, it will be conservative.

Americans want dramatic change. Business as usual was the problem. The type of change most Americans want is not offered by moderates. Moderates are not electable, and the fear of a "Boogie man" is not a strategy.

There is nothing left to say, today.

You and everyone else, have likely made up their minds. Today is election day, and by sometime tonight or later tomorrow, we should have a good understanding on who our next President Elect is.

All there is left is for people to vote.

Good Luck, everyone.

Ignore the polls or the mass media.

Remember, Corporate America, the very wealthy, would love it if Donald Trump won.

Of course, they want you to second guess yourself. Tomorrow you'll hear both that Kamala Harris is either winning or losing, and your vote is either not needed or will not make a difference.

Do NOT trust them, but do trust yourself and vote.

@cmconseils@mastodon.social My fear is we will repeat history.

8 years ago, everyone was confident, as they are now, that Donald Trump would lose. Many people did not see a need to vote, because they were so sure he would lose.

I do not want a repeat of history. Every vote is both wanted and needed.

@phaedral@mastodon.social I guess I do not understand that level of "crazy".

Donald Trump recently saying he thinks Adolf Hitler was a good leader, and that he believes he needs to mobilize the armed services onto Americans to "fight the enemy within" should have been a wake-up call to everyone.

But I digress. This man does not like his own people, and we know he does not see the people of Palestine or Gaza or anyone in the Middle East as people. He'd likely opt to turn the whole place into glass (nuke it) if he thought he could get away with it.

#Palestine #Israel #Gaza

"I am NOT voting for Kamala Harris, because of Palestine"

This has to be the dumbest reason, ever. Period. -- Why?

Donald Trump wanted a Muslim ban. Not only is he pro Israel, as some of you worry about, but he does not see the people of Palestine or Gaza as human.

This hateful "man" does not like his own people, what do you think he'll do to you and yours?!

Loop, currently in private beta, is the Fediverse's answer to TikTok

#Loop #TikTok #Fediverse

Saturday May 20, 2023 was 1 year, 5 months, and 12 days ago.

It took all that time for me to stumbled upon true racist on the Fedi. Meanwhile, Meta, where I work, has that nonsense every few minutes. The Fediverse is better.

That said, there is something empowering about turning a Nazi's 1,000 buck iPhone into a paperweight on our platform. At best, all we can do here is de-Federate.

Oh well. It's still a good place to escape from work. -- Hey, Nazi's ... You mad bro?

Brave Browser is chromium for racist and bigots. Their CEO is anti women's right, anti LGBTQ+, a supporter of Donald Trump, and even a COVID-19 denier.

He was fired from Mozilla for a reason https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich

Heads up to Fedora Firefox users.

Pervious, Fedora v41 within Mozilla Firefox, "Website Advertising Preferences" was disabled. Today, after installing a fresh copy of the Fedora beta, and upgrading, I discovered this has been enabled by default.

Unless you want the ad company, Mozilla to learn and monitor ad performance, even when using an ad blocker, I suggest you disable this "feature".

While I have your attention, Vivaldi browser is everything Firefox should have been the past 10+ years. You should try it, as the open source development Firefox continues to bundle adware, spyware, and AI, and other developments, such as Brave, get worse by including all that, plus cryptocurrency. Vivaldi has none of that nonsense.

@jihadjimmy@the.asbestos.cafe I would accept your reward, but I know someone dumber, and that is you.

You do not seem to understand that Gecko / Firefox as an upstream is a dying platform which has only ever been successfully soft forked long term. Gnu IceCat will break so many website layouts. But lets not forget the total failing of being a daily driver since its failed support for DRM content that the majority of users depend upon for streaming Spotify, Pandora, Disney Plus, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Show Time, Starz, Paramount Plus, Crunchyroll, and many more. In, before you suggest an app, which many still do not rely upon, and even if they did, often that is just a Chromium web browser in a skin.

Gecko / Firefox is not even a mainstream web browser with next to no market share. With only Germany being the last remaining holdout. Both the United States government and the European Union has experienced issues when using Gecko, because it is only an afterthought.

But since you believe a fork that few people have ever heard of or used, based upon a dying platform that the world is abandoning is so significant, clearly you are more worth of this honor, and I congratulate you on you "success". 🤣

When the mods of asbestos dot cafe drops the "N" word, Fedi Block is the solution. 1 Screenshot shows their poor taste (marked sensitive, because of the nature of the photo), and the other shows they're one of the mods.

2nd mod from asbestos dot cafe drops the "N" word.

1 screenshot shows their poor taste (also marked as sensitive, because of the nature of the photo) and the other, once again, shows it is a mod of that instance (server).

"But... but... Vivaldi is not purely open source!"

Good software does not need to be open source.

Firefox is open source, but it includes spyware, adware, and AI, while being managed by an ad company. Brave Browser maybe open source, but it too includes spyware, adware, AI, plus cryptocurrency, while being managed by an ad company. Not to forget that their CEO is anti women's rights, anti LGBTQ+, a Trump supporter, and COVID-19 denier.

Open source does not guarantee that the development is good or the people behind that development has your or anyone's best interest in mind. It does not guarantee that it makes the world a better place either, for example, here are free virus programs on GitHub that are open source, but I would not want them anywhere on my system.

Vivaldi is the better browser, because they're not spying on their users, they're not bundling adware, or bundling AI, or incorporate cryptocurrency, and they're not owned by an ad company. Furthermore, if you monitor Vivaldi, unlike Firefox or Brave, the only time Vivaldi calls out is to 1) check for updates and 2) bug reports. Now, if that is too much, you should know both Firefox and Brave call out like a small lost child, wanting their mother.

I recommend Vivaldi, because they're not trying to harm anyone, and they're not calling home like a lost child in the wood. It includes its own ad-blocker, plus added support to ensure uBlock functionality.

Seriously, enable their ad-blocker, along with uBlock Origin Lite, plus Privacy Badger, and you got some pretty good ad blocking going on. As a bonus, I also use NextDNS (which is optional) and enable their ad blocking too. It is also how I was able to track just how much Firefox or Brave calls out (it's kind of creepy to watch them do that).

"You suffer from a mental illness, and need treatment to be made better."

That used to be the political and social stance in America toward all LGBTQ+ members. If elected, that is what Donald Trump and JD Vance will support.

I am not a member of the LGBTQ+ community, but I would not wish to see people labeled as "unwell" or "dangerous" or "predators" simple because they love another consenting adult. I would not want America where you could legally lose your job, once more, because you were different from someone else.

We're all people. We're all individuals. But Trump's idea of America, the fascism he upholds and envisions, would very much, not see justice or society as fair and equal.

As a child, I recall being far away from home, and by chance (dumb luck) running into a teacher who was with their partner.

I will never forget the look of fear in the teacher's eyes, worried that their secret could somehow now be exposed. I recall, telling them that they made a cute couple, and the teacher tearing up, and thanking me. At the time, I never told anyone what I had learned, because I knew better.

That is not the type of America, we need to go back to. That was not America at its best, and nothing about that was "great". But as fascist, that is the America, Donald Trump and JD Vance would want for everyone, today.
