Sadly voting didn’t fail you. US is in the same predicament UK was in after Brexit. Complacency at the expected outcome, a belief that some people couldn’t be so stupid as to vote for Trump/Brexit and yet, they did in the majority.
Regardless of how fucked up the election process is, inany countries I’m not singling out the US, that is the reason that you feel failed, look at your countrymen that swallowed the snake oil and ask the question why?
5th Nov 2024 - was the chance to prevent this. Trump’s team made it clear on the direction they were heading and no-one heeded the warnings. 35% didn’t vote and the majority of those that did voted for him, which either means they agree with the direction or were deluded into thinking it wasn’t going to happen.
I’m all for protest but I don’t think you have a chance of changing anything, he owns the legislature and the voting public allowed it to happend.
I’m not American or a resident of US but that’s just my opinion as an outsider.
At this point your guess is as good as mine. I e also set up Jellyseer for discovery and ability for users to request stuff but still a reluctance to move.
Sadly I still pay for a service I don’t use because I have members of my house who are relucant to embrace the change. I, on the other hand, am more than happy with my Jellyfin and assorted apps to provide my content from whichever source I choose, now if only I could cadjole the others into embracing the freedom of the high seas.
Honestly, anything below the age of majority is sketchy (excepting a romeo and julet clause) IMHO and I was surprised the average was 16.
Uh, no. World wide average age of consent is 16.

The only superior Linux distro and DE is the one that works for you and meets your needs.
This is different for each user and, frankly, the joy of Linux that it has such a variety as to be able to meet almost everyone’s needs.
For me , personally, thats Debian/Gnome with minimal tweaks but just because it works for my workflow does not make it superior.
For specific device recommendations, you seem to be particularly interested in making use of Black Friday deals, and thus I’d assume that price is an important factor. Unfortunately, most Linux-first vendors aren’t particularly known for offering great buck for your money. This does make it easier to choose, though.
Sadly yes, budget is important, additionally System76/Framework are out as they don’t ship to my location and are quite out of my budget unfortunately and I’d rather not use a shipping agent. Given all the advice that’s been given I think the points everyone has made are especially valid and I should wait until more funds are available and purchase a more suitable laptop.
I’m looking at slimbook as they can deliver with EndeavourOS OOB but still will be a harder delivery option but also have more budget options.
I have a Dell Latitude now and it’s been great running EndeavourOS but has now developed a hardware issue so I’m searching black Friday for a replacement.
Few weeks, lol, RD links already disappeared from my Kodi add-ons
Huawei runs it’s own branch of Android since it lost its ability to offer Google services.
In the case you’re not paying for “Android” but for the tech, whatever you think about it it’s a tech that no-one else is yet doing, least of all Apple which in real terms is still playing catch-up with Android and it’s insistance of a walled garden .
Whilst I agree the technology is awesome, £2,000 for a phone, wow, no thanks.
I took the impractical option, but in fairness, only after all other options failed.
Guess you can’t change arseholes but you can sure as shit change houses.
Let’s hope my doomongering is just that, with other countries in Europe starting to swing that way I hope it’s not sign of the future.
An overwhelming majority by seats but only 33% of the popular vote.
36% voted Tory/Reform so voters have not shifted left but split the more right wing vote
I’m guessing the dog is 14
This has only started for me after the last 6.1 update.
The only app I have to autoluanch is Betterbird.
I think the Austin Allegro would like to challenge you for a car with absolutely zero redeeming qualities.
I use Fentastic skin with Umbrella add-on.
My home media server is an old nuc mini pc i5 16Gb RAM with attached usb storage running on a Linux distro, runs Jellyfin and a few other applications for the household.
In short yes, an old pc will work fine.
