You're right, I'm voting for Trump now because of the Biden genocide. If he didn't want to lose the election he shouldn't have supported Israel or tried to close the border. I honestly don't even care what happens to Palestinians under Trump, Biden should have thought about that before hand.

I used to think this line of thinking was dangerous and was going to help Trump win reelection. But I think you're right, we can't let the threat of a Republican being elected coerce into supporting a genocide.

The only clear answer is to teach the Democrats they need to hear and listen to us and champion our policies. The only way I can see to do that is to throw my support entirely behind Donald Trump and other Republican candidates up and down the ballot.

Maybe once only right wing candidates are winning the Democrats will learn that the only way to power is to run extremely left wing candidates and we'll finally see some progress.

Congratulations, by not voting for Biden none of your politics are being represented and you're helping Trump get elected.

As a bonus, by helping Trump get elected you'll be actively aiding and abetting whatever Trump decides to do, which I'm sure will be great for the people in Gaza.

But you're not crossing your line in the sand so I'm sure you'll sleep well at night knowing you stuck to your guns.

I've had pretty good luck running llamafile on my laptop. The speeds aren't super fast, and I can only use the models that are Mistral 7B and smaller, but the results are good enough for casual use and general R and Python code.

Edit: my laptop doesn't have a dedicated GPU, and I don't think llamafile has support for Intel GPUs yet. CPU inference is still pretty quick.

The paid proton accounts let you use several custom domains, although I'm not sure if you can combine custom domains with email aliases. For random sites the email alias with the stand @proton.me would probably suit your needs.

After about 3 years of use I've been very happy with proton's spam filtering.

None of that really provides any evidence that Bill Clinton was involved. Is Clinton being the governor germane or are you just stating random facts?

The cocaine came through Arkansas and Clinton had something to do with it? You got a source for this?

My friends and I all use Simplex and have been very happy. There's an annoying feature where messages in group chats are sometimes delivered out of order, but it's easy enough to live with.

So it takes you 15 minutes to put water in tank, put grounds and filter into the coffee pot, and brew it? And you can't do anything else productive with your time while the coffee is brewing like take a shower, login to work a few minutes early and read and answer emails, brush your teeth, do some dishes, take out the trash, walk your dog, or anything?

And your work doesn't allow you to get up out of your chair for the 30 seconds it would take you to walk from your computer to coffee pot and fill your cup and walk back? Or even better, bring the entire carafe back to your desk with you? Are you working for the FSB and they have surveillance cameras in your house or something?

It really sounds like you're trying your absolute hardest to turn making coffee into such an onerous chore that it negates all the other benefits of not having to schlep to an office.

My personal theory is that a lot of advocacy for working in-person goes away when you remove:

1. People that financially benefit from office culture (office land lords, restaurants near office buildings, janitorial services, etc.)
2. Social vampires that view the office as the best place to gossip and share their boring personal lives with a captive audience
3. Managers and executives with poor leadership skills and low self esteem

It takes you more than 10 minutes to make a cup of shitty office coffee at home?

Your job is so strict that you can't afford to step away from your computer for the 10 minutes it takes you to start a coffee pot, go back to work, and then step away again to get the coffee when it's ready?

That's already been hacked by the NSA

Of course it's PG&E. Maybe if those clowns would stop burning down the state they'd enough cash to invest in infrastructure repairs and keep the power on.

A lot of people are focused on this quote:

Witness Reverend Jeff Hood told reporters he saw a man ‘struggling for their life’ for 22 minutes as Smith became the first US death row inmate executed by nitrogen asphyxia

Which says to me that from the time they brought him in and strapped him down until he died lasted about 22 minutes and the murderer struggled physically against the restraints the entire time.

This quote farther down suggests from the time they started administering the gas until he died only took a couple of minutes:

But, witnesses said Smith appeared conscious for several minutes, shaking and writhing on the gurney.

Several could be 25, and he could have been shaking from pain and agony, but it seems more likely he was holding his breath and shaking out of fear while trying to fight and get free.

Keep in mind that the first quote is from his anti-death penalty spiritual advisor and this entire article is brought to us by a magazine with an "end the death penalty campaign".

I'm generally anti-death penalty myself, but nitrogen asphyxiation seems way better than electrocution, lethal injection, or hanging. They could probably do it better by using some kind of general anesthesia to render him unconscious and then flood the room with pure nitrogen, or even just get rid if the death penalty all together. Unfortunately this is the world we live in and so fae this is the least bad option we've seen.

Are you gonna give a fuck what Trump might do in 12 months?

There are degree's of response to genocide. If you think you Trump will have a harsher response towards Israel's genocide than Biden, then you should definitely vote for Trump or not vote for Biden.

But make no mistake: not voting for Biden isn't a condemnation of Biden's response to the genocide, it's an endorsement of how you think Trump will respond.
