I deleted all of our DNS records. As it turns out, you can’t make money when you can’t resolve dns records :P

Because it’s unfortunately still true. I have a video-card that I can’t upgrade because it nvidia drivers keep breaking my display. I’ve had to swap distros because some don’t work well with my audio-card, or my wifi-card. I was able to get them working eventually, but pretending that it wasn’t a pain in the ass would be a lie.

This attitude of “everything works fine, and if it doesn’t that means you are doing it wrong” is why people don’t like trying Linux. We have to be realistic about the experience. It’s massively better than it used to be, but pretending its flawless is just dishonest.

Of course I see a difference. I see the systems that the Democrats and Republicans built coming to fruition. I see the trends that the Democrats ignored increased. I see the societal problems from then tuned up a few notches, because the Democrats were too busy bombing kids, backing a genocide, and bailing out their rich friends to fix.

We also have overwhelming historical evidence that voting for the current batch of Democrats doesn’t work.

Not only that, they’ll yell at the people who voted for anti-genocide candidates. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told that I voted for genocide, by vorting for an anti-genocide candidate.
