Trump taps Rep. Matt Gaetz as attorney general
  • Yea..... This is just Jon Steward level snark that makes us chuckle and feel like we're doing something, when in reality we're doing jack shit.

    Democrats need to be organizing and running from the local level up and let go of these clever quips. They do nothing except placate people.

    I honestly believe Jon coming back did more harm than good. He's giving leftist an outlet so they don't actually do anything with their anger.

    All these comedians are just letting us vent our energy, meaning it's not used to organise and run for something.

    You can't tell people the country is going under, while also cracking jokes.

  • Smile and grin at the change all around...
  • Fucking TSA, 2 decade long wars.... Republicans have NEVER reduced spending or increased liberties. It's all bullshit, but their propaganda machine is simply miles ahead because they have almost zero infighting.

    Democrats are constantly bickering, and not about just important stuff. I fully believe there are bad actors purposefully starting arguments about BS they know Democrats will latch on and distract us. And as a bonus make us look like lunatics to anyone not already fully aligned with our ideas.

  • Pim Tool is a moron
  • This is 100% true and people here won't want to hear it.

    We lost and we lost BAD. I want to be reasonable and learn WHY we lost.

    Just sitting here screaming how everyone is racists and sexist, is juvenile and will cause us to learn NOTHING.

    However fucked up a vote for Trump was, it's more damming that people chose HIM over our candidate.

    Trump GAINED black and Hispanic voters, so just screaming racism ain't it.

    Fairly or unfairly, the Democrats are burdened with the baggage that they care more about identity politics and policing language than actually fixing anything. That's what I've learned.

    We've got a big echo chamber here, and most of the shit we discuss here doesn't resonate with the majority of people.

    We're more concerned about people saying "unhoused" than actual homelessness and how to solve it.

  • Help me understand my bottleneck

    I'm running a raspberry pi 8GB version, as my plex entertainment center. I also ruin a pihole. The pie has an Ethernet connection.

    I have two TV'S, a 2017 Samsung and a 2021 Hisense. Both with Ethernet connections.

    My Samsung tv can't stream certain shows at all, they stutter like crazy I'm guessing it has something to do with the encoders? Yesterday I got a message color range not supported whatever the hell that is.

    The Hisense TV does better on some shows, but still 4k content is unwatchable, it's constantly buffering.

    So, is the problem with the pi? Is it not powerful enough for 4k shows, or some encoding problem or something?

    Or is it the TVS, should I buy a Roku box instead, would that solve the streaming problems?

    Does lemmy have a way to show the number of downvotes / up votes?

    I'm using wefwef and I only see the total number for a post. So +15 or - 12 or whatever.

    That's how it is on reddit and I believe it's one of the main reason discussion turned so toxic. Everyone is just looking at the number and deciding if a point is valid.

    Seeing a comment with -1000/+900 is a lot different than just seeing - 100.

    I believe it fosters toxicity and stifles discussion.
