It seems pretty obvious to me at this point that the DNC would rather lose than have an actual progressive win.
It’s not in their interests to let a progressive win. Just like their counterpart, the DNC takes a shit ton of bribery donations from corporations lobbyists. Bringing in a progressive who would reform the system or push back against pro-corporate policies is biting the hands that feed them.
I’m mad that Biden and the Democratic leadership seems to have put their own interests above the interest of the
partypeople.
The interests of the party is the interests of the rich :)
The system is set up in a way that the only viable options are between two evils, unfortunately. Under a FPTP system where the only good options are minority parties that won’t win a single seat in their districts, you’re left with the choice of voting for the lesser evil, or voting for your morals but increasing the risk of the greater evil winning.
It’s a no-win situation.
The Democrat party is just as corrupt and bought out by corporations as the Republicans are, but at least they aren’t trying to get the country to circle the drain as quickly.
Hmmm, let’s see:
Yeah, I don’t see women lining up around the block for this catch of a human being.
You have to pass new laws to match the digital world.
They did—it’s called the DMCA, and it’s working exactly as they intended it to.
I looked at the more detailed specs, and here we have:
3 x audio jacks
2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
If using 2-pole aux jacks, those 3 back panel female connectors only provide 6 independent channels. If the case has a front panel connector, you can push that to 8 channels.
The only way you’re squeezing 7.1 analog out of that is if you use the front panel as LR, use two of the three back panel ones as surround, and share center with the sub between the last remaining connector. But, that’s assuming that two of those back connectors aren’t for mic or line in.
Maybe you could squeeze digital output through those jacks, but then you’d need a compatible receiver. Either way, stupid design for such an expensive motherboard.
who is going to put a ryzen apu in a topend mobo??
The Ryzen 9 7950X has integrated graphics, but if someone is willing to dump that much on a processor, they’re probably buying a GPU with it.
Oh that is hilariously scummy. It’s probably 7.1 through HDMI…
In turn compromise the health and futures of their kids and themselves.
For-profit healthcare: 🤑
If only the system wasn’t designed to squash third parties. Blue gives very little fucks either, it seems.
I mean, if you consider bigotry to be a mental health disorder, sure.
No no no, it’s the inverse-funnel vacuum economic model. It’s shaped like a pyramid with a hat, and the wealth gets sucked up held for safe keeping by those at the top.
The official Democratic candidates must get better, more evocative talking-points.
They don’t actually have our interests in mind either, unfortunately. Both sides are funded by and serve corporate interests, and the Republican Party is just more open about pushing policies that benefit said interests.
As a Linux user: fuck Teams.
Op: Name and shame, please.
At this point, it’s an unsolvable problem.
The only way to begin preventing lobbying interests from overtaking voter interests would be to have anti-lobbying politicians, and enough of them to actually get something done without being blocked by both the Democrats and Republicans. That would only happen after multiple decades of anti-lobbying presidents being elected, and that itself will never happen because the RNC and DNC are both paid off by corporate interests, so they’ll never nominate a candidate that goes against their masters. And, on top of that, it’s highly unlikely that a third-party candidate will ever succeed when they’re both illigitimized by the media and put in an extreme disadvantage by the electoral college.
It’s yachts all the way down.
I’m not saying the system is rigged, but what’s a few million extra bribery lobbying dollars out of your corporate budget when it means that you can secure your goal of reduced government oversight? It’s not like you have to do this for any other political candidate than the Republican and Democratic nominees either, since you know news outlets will make sure to not platform and illigitimize any independent party that’s a threat to their own financial interests.
Just in case, make sure to bring a Canadian flag pin if you go backpacking.
With powered hubs and balanced tree topology, you can split a single root controller into 45 endpoints. Your motherboard being able to support that many devices and the shared bandwidth might be a problem, but it’s theoretically possible to survive off of a single USB port.
