    There are trends - this video explains it well. Trump will reshape America, he will cement power and make sure it’s much easier for MAGA to succeed in future (making it easy, rigging the system, for them to be re-elected).

    You are entering a new authoritarian regime in the USA.

    Many folks voted Trump because they don’t trust politicians, they don’t trust Democracy, and now they get what they want - Democracy takes the biggest hit in history - and it’s not because of Trump, it’s a worldwide trend - there have been no new Democracies for a good many years already.

    Project 2025 (which Trump laughably kept saying ‘I never heard of it, I never read it’ - he’s laughing his tits off, he loves the lower class working Americans, he loves Americans with low education… because they just signed him into power thinking he gives a toss about them - he doesn’t.

    He hates them, he hates women, he’s racist, misogynistic, a criminal and a liar.

    Project 2025 is a right wing manifesto - opposing abortion and reproductive rights, even outlawing FDA approved safe drugs used in medical abortion… reviving 19th century extreme right wing laws.

    Also opposing LGBTQ rights, opposing immigrants’ rights, a racial manual for reorganising the entire federal government to serve a right wing agenda.

    You will see now mass raids, deportations, an end to birthright citizenship, breaking up families and dismantling asylum.

    Trump will also work to bring in power of warrantless surveillance - to be exploited to spy on Americans and their data… radically expanding executive power and making a mockery of American’s idea of having freedom.

    Trump will also use executive authority to limit First Amendment freedoms, he will have power to mute the press, also damaging fair replresentation in the voting process (he said - you won’t have to vote again, with a wry grin on his face).

    Watching Trump you can see he’s TELLING YOU what he plans to do, laughing at you for being stupid, because he knows you don’t take it seriously.

    Basically, it’s the fascist’s playbook - and you voted this POS into power.

    So what is the answer?

    Maybe push for laws - the purchase of a plastic bottle include 25 cents surcharge on the bottle.

    Then you can toss the bottle in the street, and the homeless can scavenge for bottles and make a decent wage for a day’s work - and still there’s enough left over to deal with the plastic.

    Whilst I’d like to see some kind of revival, or even revolution, in the browser market here - it does look as if Mozilla are setting out a future business plan which simply does not include Firefox… and if Firefox dips below 2% it will be sidelined as an alternative browser no longer supported.





  • I talked to a guy from Springfield - and he says personally he doesn’t think it will make any difference to him whichever one gets in, because right now it’s just talk.

    So his idea basically is that whoever he votes for, he’d gonna get screwed over again… this is the decline of democracy and the rise of the post-truth politicians… in many ways, watching Trump is like watching Putin’s mill putting out news - all fake and contradictory news helping to convince that all news and politicians are fake.


  • I’d agree with this - for Trump, it’s basically just a personality thing and his policies and what he says are less relevant (everyone knows he’s just a joker that talks crap… so you should ignore what he ACTUALLY says and trust that he will deliver… sth like that) whereas for Harris, people listen to what she doesn’t say and expect that she’s hiding the fact that she’ll install surgeries in schools to do stealthy operations so she can send Harry home as Harriette…

    I do feel more optimistic that the world can be saved from more Trump - but it’s not yet guaranteed.

    2 extra/webapp-manager 1.3.4-2 (91.6 KiB 5.3 MiB) (Installed) Run websites as if they were apps

    This works fine for me… I had 4 browsers installed last year, so had a variety - like Plex/Overseer/Sonarr opening with Falkon browser and translate with Chrome.

    On a limited connection, I’d advise not updating whilst watching a video. It’s also possible to download a video and watch it whilst updating.

    Beyond that it’s not easy to answer - as I don’t use discover, but also never do updates without paying attention, so that watching a video at the same time isn’t something I’d contemplate.
