Again, you seem to not understand that a majority requires more than 50%. Mr Trump did not receive more than 50% of votes cast in 2024, although he did get close.

Majority vs plurality is easy enough to look up. So are the vote totals.

@Rasta

@amszmidt

And by "majority" you mean a plurality, and a narrow one at that?

Admittedly, it's not a much better story, but it is a little bit better... :(

@Rasta

@HistoPol

Not to mention the successful recruitment to the "cause" of numerous Christian Nationalist groups, and "various Italian Fascist, White Russian, and Ukrainian
organizations." (That last bit is a quote from Rogge's book.)

@WarnerCrocker

I mean, can't we say the same thing for close to one-half the country's voters?

@jeffowski

Babbledygook? Gibberdygook? :)

@davidrevoy

I remember an awful lot of posts happening around the time the decision was made to default to the Wayland protocol for the f40 KDE spin.

I sure came away from those discussions understanding that, while Wayland would be the default, it would remain possible to install X11 and continue along as before with it, too. I was pretty sure that they hadn't banned it, just discontinued making it the default.

Are you saying that that's not true?

@jeffowski

All that image processing your brain has done to date, pissed away in less than a heartbeat. :)

@HistoPol

I found this copy using DuckDuckGo.

I'm still not sure I know how to use the Internet archive properly. :)

@HistoPol

Yes, and after you do, I suggest reading the report, or, at a minimum, the Appendix to it, that the second "Sedition Trial" Special Prosecutor, O. John Rogge, produced following the case being dropped. There are patterns described and solutions proposed there that are relevant today.

@HistoPol

I don't know about other apps and servers, but mine kicks you into the entire thread when I select your post. This allows one access to more context than a quote tweet alonewould give.

Is my experience unique?

@GottaLaff

@apps Are you doing simultaneous updates in the f-droid repos?

Thanks!

@apps Thanks for taking the time to reply to my question. This looks nothing like what I see when I click on the Preferences gear in the web interface.

Is this variable instance to instance?

@apps I sure wish you'd expand on this: Do you mean there are some apps with this capability, other than the web access means? On the latter, I do not see the general privacy target under settings.
