The comment that kicked this whole thread off said she was his puppet. Seems like you're the one that jumped to "consensual and willing Russian asset".

You recognize that the electoral system is fucked enough that it doesn't matter if it's Greens, Libertarians, Communists, they all are relegated to the role of spoiler candidate purely from a game theory perspective? If she actually wanted to enact change her entire campaign would be focused down ballot where it's viable to get some ground, rather than taking on the role of the dog chasing the garbage truck that is the presidency. Whether she is knowingly helping Trump or Putin doesn't matter, the end result is still the same.

You're not bad, and I'm sick of the infighting. But denying the reality of the fundamental flaws in the electoral system is just ignorant. Idealism doesn't work when the platform to implement those ideals is broken as fuck.

If this is illegal, does that mean Cards Against Humanity's recent voting stunt is also? Edit: thanks for the drive-by down vote, it really doesn't help the discourse. I'm mainly wondering if CAH has opened themselves up to a bunch of legal liability.

We're already paying more money for worse care. So dumb.

It may have been because Poe was one of the few authors I read as a kid, and seeing what they did with the stories tickled my brain in all the right ways.

I had like a good month long period where I'd just randomly stop whatever I was doing and think to myself, "God DAMN Fall of the House of Usher was SO GOOD."

That's what the Senate is for. Two senators per state regardless of population. Wyoming has as much of a say as California does.

 

I'm getting intermittent audio cutouts on my machine. Audio will be playing fine but will then cut out for anywhere from ~0.5-5.0 seconds, then come back fine. What's interesting is that other sounds may continue to play just fine while it happens. For example, playing a game there will be background noises and music, but the dialog will just drop out a few words here and there while the background sounds and music continue playing fine. It also happens on "single track" audio sources like watching a video, so it isn't exclusively a multi-track issue.

This issue only started on my new computer that I built while keeping everything else the same (cabling, A/V receiver, display, etc.) Old computer was also running 22.04.4, so I suspect it might be something with the GPU in the new machine.

Ubuntu 22.04.4 Gigabyte AMD 7900 GRE

Trying to search for similar issues but I'm coming up with no good leads. The only one that looked like it may have been in the same realm suggested changing the refresh rate from 120hz to 119.88hz, but alas, that didn't work. Any suggestions for trying to narrow down the issue or some things I can try to troubleshoot?

 

Finally looking to build a new rig after about 7 years on my current machine. Will largely be used for gaming in Linux, although I may wind up throwing in a second drive for dual booting to Windows for games that don't work well on Proton/Wine. Also using it as a home theater box for streaming content.

It's been a minute since I've looked into the hardware scene, and while going Nvidia is tempting for the DLSS and ray tracing, at this point I feel like I'd rather give AMD my money simply on principle.

 

Everything that I've been reading says that it's only doable with DisplayPort.
