Oh jeez. I forgot about that. I had that running on my DS back in the day from a GBA flashcart with a big-ass CompactFlash card sticking out the bottom. Good times.

I imagine there was a time when this wasn’t obscure, but I’m guessing people today don’t remember Caldera OpenLinux. That was the first Linux distro I installed/used. A guy from church gave his copy.

Caldera eventually became SCO. But I’m pretty sure I was using Caldera OpenLinux before the whole Novell patent suit thing.

Serious answer: That’s why it’s so important to recreate proprietary game engines as FOSS. Like OpenMW, for instance.

Short version: cable is more optimized for sending everyone the same content at the same time. (And all users connected to cable get all channels all the time, even if they’re only watching one or two at the time.) Internet is made for each user getting what they ask for when they ask for it.

Either technology can be used for either use case, but they were originally built for different purposes and so are optimized differently.

Just like a subway train would make a pretty crappy private one-person vehicle for commuting to work and the grocery store. As would a fleet of cars be crappy for public mass transit.

Nope. Lots of stuff commonly believed by Christians isn’t from the Bible. (Though sometimes they’ll do a lot of mental gymnastics to assert that what they believe is from “the only reasonable interpretation” of the Bible.)

Just a few other things commonly believed by Christians not (or at least only dubiously) from the Bible:

• The seven deadly sins
• The nine circles of hell
• The seven levels of heaven
• Transubstantiation
• The trinity

What icon pack? (Is this post supposed to be a link?)

Edit: Ah. Now there’s an image.

Hammer’s jumping to conclusions. That’s clearly a self-tapping screw.

Oh shit. Don’t scare me like that. I’m in the middle of a show on Freevee through Prime Video. I was afraid it was going to become unavailable.

(Hell on wheels. Really good. 10/10 would recommend.)

This isn’t a Linux thing exactly, but I know the QMK firmware for keyboards has a feature called “mouse keys” that let you control your mouse cursor and click and scroll and such exclusively via keyboard keys.

It’s bad enough that blockchain weirdos, LLMs, and grifters like Futo have been trying to leverage the term “Open Source” in deceptive ways for one or another ulterior motive. Now sovereign citizen bullshit?

Edit: Oh. This is this user’s only post after joining 2 days ago.

“Streisand effect” comes to mind, but like “sunk cost fallacy” it’s just an example of something “becoming more popular the more it fails.”

Far be it from me to dissuade anyone from applying the solution of 3D printing to any problem, but why not just buy one of those universal suction-cup-type flag car flag pole mounts and sticking it to the hatch itself?

Or maybe get a trailer hitch installed and use one of those flag poles that connect to a trailer hitch.

Mind you, those things I’m talking about tend to be made of steel. Definitely wouldn’t want your flagpole coming off on the highway or atop a bridge and impaling someone in another vehicle.

And, I’m not sure what legal considerations there might be for this venture, so it might be best to do your research. I know in my area, if anything sticks out too far out the back of your vehicle, you’re legally required to add a red piece of cloth or something. There are probably maximum lengths you may be allowed for a flag on your car.

If you insist on a 3D printed solution:

• I imagine you’d have to design it yourself. Even if you got help from a professional CAD kind of person, I’d have to think they’d have to be able to measure and work with your car in person.
• Mount it at multiple places. Trailer hitch and have the hatch hold it in place and connect it to roof rack bars, for instance.
• Use strong materials (straps, carabiners, steel, wood) for most of it and try to avoid having the 3D-printed parts take the brunt of the weight and/or stress.
• Take into account things like gradual warping due to stress and material fatigue.
• I know I’m harping on mechanical strength, bur make it bulkier than you think it needs to be and use 100% infill.
• Test it a lot for potential failures as best yoi can before taking your car out with the flag mounted on it. Maybe try some drives with only the pole and no flag first, then with a smaller flag before moving on to the real deal. Start on back roads and move up to larger streets and then to highways. Check for any signs of stress or warping between every test.
• Be willing to give up before endangering anyone. Better to live your life with an off-the-shelf solution or no solution than to be responsible for injuring someone.
• Be willing to scale down a little. Settle for a smaller flag, maybe.
• Consider how much this will affect your own visibility as the driver.

You know. Just… be careful about the whole endeavor.

I feel like we’ve said this to OP already too, but:

…it came off that he was so popular…

However it may have come off, not enough people voted for him to win him the primary. He wasn’t that popular. For reasons mentioned elsewhere.

It’s possible some people who favored Sanders over Hillary voted for Hillary in the primary anyway fearing that she was more likely to win the primary and not wanting to chance unintentionally boosting the chances of someone other than Hillary or Sanders getting the nomination. I don’t know of any polls or anything that might have indicated that was or wasn’t the case. But that still means people didn’t vote enough for Bernie.

…because fewer people voted for him than for Hillary?

Not quite sure what kind of answer you’re fishing for here.

He just wasn’t “as popular as you believe he was.”

Yes, but how do you think candidates get “popular?” With Hillary’s and the DNC’s thumb on the scales, Hillary’s campaign had an unfair and underhanded influence on the public.

I’m not sure if anything Hillary’s campaign did was “illegal”, but it definitely broke things like the DNC’s own bylaws.

No president has tried it before. Whether he can get away with pardoning himself has yet to be seen. For him not to get away with it would require someone to bring some sort of court case challenging it. And to bring a case, they have to have “standing.” (That is to say, they have to have some credible justification why the self-pardoning action the president took wronged the petitioner in some way.) Which would probably require some legal argument that has never been made before.

I’m guessing Trump probably could get away with it, but given that no president has tried this, we’ll just have to see for sure.

I’m a (libertarian) socialist and I voted for Kamala and told others to do the same.

Do you have a source for the assertion that socialists not voting for Kamala were a large factor? I know I’ve heard that Muslim Americans were one demographic who, even though they were a fairly left (of what the U.S. considers center) leaning, didn’t vote for Kamala. But to the extent that they’re “responsible for Trump’s win”, I don’t know that that is on “socialists” per se.
