The same folks I know who wouldn’t even consider a conversation about socialism are not going to be swayed when I quote any black man to them, much less a panther.

Back the spew until it happens to you.

I want this on a bumper sticker with a cop badge on one side and a trump logo on the other.

ROFL.

Thanks for that additional context!

I was coming around to that conclusion, but thank you for validating it! :)

I’ve often thought about that moment—the unnecessary injection of racial anxiety into my otherwise normal school day—when I think about the irony of progressive identity politics. My parents, both born in India but educated in America, would laugh about their well-intentioned but misguided friends who, in their eagerness to ward off the idea of “otherness,” ended up contributing to it.

So the people who knew the country well enough to see what was coming told you what was coming. You ignored them, your parents laughed at them.

But then a few days ago, I opened X to see my feed populated with anti-Indian vitriol—calling the country where my parents were born “filthy” and its people “filthy and undesirable.” Some condemned these comments but many others agreed, and still others criticized the critics for crying racism. But I could see it for what it was: raw bigotry.

Huh.

But now, we must all reckon with an ugly part of the MAGA agenda they did not realize existed.

Everyone who’s head wasn’t buried in the sand or laughing about “the irony of progressive politics” realized they existed.

And so, if Trump’s win is a revolutionary moment for MAGA, the people who voted for the revolution need to define which MAGA they believe in. Does “making America great again” revive the ideals of this country—or the grievances of a group of “native-born” Americans? If MAGA chooses the latter, those on the left who were dismissed as hysterical for crying racism will be vindicated in the worst way.

Whew, still not getting it I see. MAGA has made that choice already, and it hasn’t moved one bit during the time MAGA has existed.

I didn’t want to fracture that pride with the news of an ugly turn in our country’s politics. How do you tell someone the country they’ve loved for 50 years is harboring a growing faction that wishes he’d never come?

I think you can only tell them to pay attention next time and not laugh at those trying to give you a clue.

My grandfather voted for Trump three times. Now, part of that movement is calling immigrants like him ‘filthy.’

Your grandfather empowered them and is part of the problem.

Damn, it’s only January and my schadenfreude gland is already getting fatigued.

You have summarized every maga interaction I’ve ever had with this single, beautiful, 3 year old meme. 😁

Your use case is nearly identical to mine. Still wanted to be sure there weren’t bugs in HDR or other display features that needed to be addressed.

Look I’m not saying ZOMG HOW CAN YOU NOT GET A FIRMWARE UPDATE, I’m just surprised both that so many people don’t and that so many people don’t even seem to see why they might want to.

True, but as it’s inline with the purpose of the sub as described by the mods of the sub, I don’t see why that matters.

I guess you’ll have to argue with the mods about that.

From the sidebar:

To each their own, just surprised more people don’t see it as a consideration.

I mean, they’ve been displays connected to a mini computer for awhile now…

Fair, but I mean, there could be bugfixes, etc, that’ s what firmware updates are for.

I’m not arguing with you really, but at least one firmware update opportunity seems like a good practice for just about everything, IMO. I have a current Samsung TV, and it has been allowed to connect via my guest network exactly one time, after which I deleted the relevant settings.

Not even one time for a firmware update?

GNOME is more keyboard-focused than KDE.

This is not really a true statement then, and it’s what was being replied to.

That’s not not hacking.

What folks think of as hackers today is not really the classical view, which included people just learning by experimentation without messing about with anyone else’s system, or folks like Kevin Mitnick, who repeatedly stated that his greatest tool was social engineering, not anything technical. He was such a big bad scary hacker to the government that they kept him in prison 4.5 years before his trial.

Hooray!
