I really don’t understand your use of “far left” here.

Who is “him”?

The problem with the US system seems to be that it’s partisan all the way down. It’s too easy for the parties standing for election to influence how the election itself is run and counted. This is, I guess, an effect of the USA’s highly decentralized approach to elections: if the Republicans run a county, they get to decide how elections work in that county. A more centralized system wouldn’t leave the same scope for tweaking each local election to get the desired result in that locality.

I’ve not heard it called that before.

Oh if only he had the power he craves, this journalist would be in a camp for making him feel uncomfortable. Nasty little angry fascist.

Do SSDs do that automatically in the background, or is all the data I’m not actively refreshing gradually rotting away?

They have nukes too. It’s sickening that the USA, UK, Germany, Canada, etc. are pouring money and weapons into a regime of actively genocidal fascists with nukes, and fighting anyone who questions this.

The problem is that USB flash drives don’t keep their data intact for very long when they’re powered down. It lasts long enough for everyday use, but not even as long as a hard disk for archival.

USB sticks and SSDs are no good for long-term storage. The data on them degrades rapidly if they’re not powered up. Spinning disks last longer. So your process would be better done with those.

Huh? USB is a connector, not an archival format.

It’s a shame their capacity lags so far behind current hard drives. And not many drives for these discs are still made, so what are the chances of them becoming unreadable just because no one has equipment to read them?

Doesn’t sound like that’s his plan:

So, hear me when I say this: no more money without reform.

Sounds like he wants to change the NHS’s priorities before making any new investment.

Only yesterday I came across this link thanks to Lemmy - be warned it’s gruesome:

You’re right. The hope is that they’re not enough and he fails to attract anyone else.

It will not put off his voters. Some of them just don’t care about anything international. Others admire Putin as a strongman who isn’t afraid to kill his enemies and persecute minorities, a moral conservative, a self-professed Christian, an ally against democracy and a defender of the same bigotries they share.

Man, these NYT headlines. In the article they admit there’s no evidence to support Israel’s claims that Hamas militants were hiding in the schools and shelters they bombed - all they have is the IDF’s word. But in the headline they definitely spin it a different way.

Hopefully people see that they can oppose both Israel’s genocide and Islamist homophobia at the same time. There’s no obligation to downplay either.

They don’t care, so long as those who dislike them can’t vote.

$20 per month would be enough to discourage me. It’s another relatively costly computer-related subscription and I already feel like I’m losing a battle to keep those minimal. There would have to be some very clear benefits for that price.
