I wasn’t being a dick, I was giving a straightforward answer. I don’t have a concern that the photo is shopped, I find it entirely believable, and so of course I’m not going to take the time to go looking for more pics. Even if there are none yet, it wouldn’t prove this was shopped.

The banner is not really the problem, shopped or not.

Now the right hand side of this on the other hand:

I don’t share your concerns and am not going to take the time to hunt down another one.

Regardless of the banner, the push is real, here’s one article today and another from yesterday.

Quote from second article:

A new advocacy group, the Third Term Project — which has adopted a Caesar-like Trump image as its logo — is dedicated to upending the 22nd Amendment so that Trump can serve a third term.

I think you are bold to assume their plan involved repealing vs ignoring.

All good, my vehemence wasn’t directed at you. You make good points, an apologies if it seemed otherwise!

Once they force three terms onto Trump they can use whatever flimsy justification they have found to allow three terms for Vance or whoever they get to replace trump.

The reason why news is hesitant to use it is because of the association with Nazi death camps. In my experience that’s what people usually think of when they hear concentration camp.

That’s what they should be thinking of. If folks wait until they become extermination camps then it’s even more too late to start caring than it already is.

I’m over here hoping we’re a cautionary tale for you all right now.

Not one the US is in. We elect our presidents after they stage an insurrection.

I can’t say for sure. I think in at least some cases the blackouts are to support local cable tv, which we no longer subscribe to. I don’t think there tend to be games that can be watched only in person, but it’s possible I just don’t know.

Nothing gets you guaranteed hero worship and respect like being able to throw or kick a ball or similar in the US. The economics around it are unsurprisingly huge and complex, as everyone tries to be sure they get their piece.

Wait until you hear about how you cannot pay to watch all the NFL/NBA/MLB/NHL games in your market on a streaming service. Unless something has very recently changed, there’s no method of legitimately paying where you won’t still experience blackouts.

Yes, but it worked. Trump actually did awful shit, and it did not. That’s what I can’t get past.

I have a difficult time finding any reason to disagree with you.

This sort of energy.

Also on Lemmy you can see the moderation history for any user or comment.

Do with that info what you will. It’s very helpful sometimes when folks claim mod abuse.

And yes, it is samba, but it’s the only thing I’ve used since it was set like that at default. Why would I look into other ways if it’s working just fine, exactly?

Nothing other than your own personal preference. Across a wide variety of contexts I personally find less headaches with SFTP, but YMMV. There are security and speed arguments, but IIRC there is a lot of variance to those arguments depending on how modern the SMB implementation is and how it’s config’d.

I have no idea why you can’t save your PW, I’ve done it this way since at least 2013, under several distros, on several different hardware setups, and have never had an issue having dolphin save my PW.

Are you in the “I disabled the KDE wallet because I wasn’t sure how to make it not annoying” crowd? It used to be much harder to work with. (I don’t even know if that’s the likely reason you have to keep putting your PW in, but I do use KDE wallet, and I never have to put mine in after initial setup in dolphin.)

Linux - Open Dolphin (or whatever) > Network > Add Network Folder/Find it > Enter creds > Does not automatically mount the drive when booting the computer back up > Must go into fstab to get it to automount > Stop, because that is ridiculous

I put into the dolphin path sftp://myusername@remoteip.address. Then I give it my password, and check the box to save it. Then I right click any folder in the destination and do “add to places” and in the future I just navigate to it like a local folder.

I guess I’m supposed to do it a harder way? I’ve done essentially the same but with smb:// when forced to work with a samba share like an animal.

This is it for the curious:

This is just related:

Remember folks, it doesn’t have to be the year, it only has to be your year.

Mine was about 19 years ago. I’m no genius, and I haven’t regretted it once. Linux has come a long way since then, while windows is deep in the enshittification trenches now, and has been for years. Your YOTLD can start today if you want it to. Tired of being actively abused by your OS? We’ve been here all along.

And if you are happy where you are, that’s fine too.

Nobody claims that WW2 was because of voters

Maybe if folks had been shamed into not supporting the Nazis and their hollow, superficial, hateful “solutions” we wouldn’t even have an example with such obvious and clear parallels to draw upon.

Nobody claims that WW2 was because of voters, that the Poland invasion was because of the soldiers

Nobody should be (or seems to have been) fucking absolved for handing their nation to fascists, either.

edited to correct unclear wording

Little reminder: Those people you are alienating, those as per your and Lemmy judgement “Nazi, racists, uneducated, homophobic, traitors, fascists, unethical, uncompassionate and misogynistic” are voters with as much rights as you have to decide the course of the nation

Yep. They sure do. And I’m judging them for the direction they have chosen.

How is it whenever anyone makes a post like this, it’s “ZOMG don’t alienate the magas.” Do you suppose there are folks who care enough about unity to tell the magas maybe they shouldn’t alienate all the non-magas in their lives? Do you tell magas that? I have multiple neighbors who had signs in their yard for YEARS proclaiming Biden voters or Democrats as traitors, morons, etc as they adjusted the mix of their handwritten signs every so often.

Seems to me they have spent the past several years alienating me. Seems to me they have voted for policies and politicians that are explicitly intending to harm anyone who isn’t a white cisthet man. That includes quite a lot of groups that neither me nor anyone near me is a member of, but also includes groups that my children, my wife, and for that matter, a great many Trump voters themselves comprise.

And it seems to me that, just like when there was a bully in school as a kid, it’s somehow the victim always asked to be the bigger person, not the bully. That was horseshit then, and it’s horseshit now.

I mean in the sense that these are the standard blue collar, hard workers of the country. Those plumbers, electricians, waste disposal, street sweepers, truck drivers, and so on

Ask me about my background. (no don’t, but also don’t assume I’ve never been one of these people and can’t identify with where they are coming from)

Somehow the party with the worst record towards unions and labor has convinced all many of the folks with union jobs that they will save them, and that they’ll do so with a bsuinessman at the head of the country with a reputation for not paying his bills. And I should sympathize with that?

I reject your scolding and premise at the most fundamental possible level.

These people have spent more than the past 8 years being the loudest, rudest, most hateful group in any venue. On a personal level, we have avoided family gatherings to not have to listen to their shit, though somehow we eventually end up hearing it anyway. The policies they support obviously and openly hurt anyone not like them, and a very large percentage of the time they hurt themselves also. They are currently loudly cheering as our nation and government are being actively dismantled by the man they voted for.

I have nothing left for these people but to keep anyone and anything I care about as far out of their path and notice as possible, and hope that 5 years from now we can be arguing about this and not decaying in a mass grave someplace after they work their way down the “First they came for” ladder until finally they find something my family needs to be sent to a camp for.
