You are having a meltdown because I disputed your notion that not liking a media personality reflects poorly on my character as a person.

You are so wrapped up in the hyperreality of modern life that you can't distinguish real life anymore.

    Yes, vote, but please, for the love of god, don't just go on like everything is normal if the proverbial "blue wave" happens. Don't let these folks off the hook just because they're on your team.

    This happens every time. The democrats get the white house or the house or senate and then nobody holds them accountable for anything. No more protests, no more rhetoric, no more righteous anger. The left gets told to fuck off back to their hole by the party establishment after they get what the want and none of the things that need to be addressed to avoid another political disaster get addresses.

    Please, don't let this cycle of abuse continue.

    This happened about a week ago, right? I was having trouble viewing comments on redlib instances, and now there's a fork using some kind of scraping solution that a few instances have adopted. No clue how long that will continue working, but we'll see.

    I'm not particularly interested in using reddit as an active user but there is still useful info on reddit for some things.

    Hopefully, the alternative front-ends can keep ahead of the walled-garden curve and keep this valuable info open, even if reddit itself doesn't give a shit.

    Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days. Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

    Someone has finally reversed the vara protocol and made a compatible (and open) version for linux. Now, you can skip wine and the protocol is finally properly documented for the first time (since the vara dev refused to release any proper documentation on how the protocol works).

    I can confirm that this works with winlink (using pat).

    It was a complete joke that such a widely used protocol on amateur frequencies was basically a blackbox that nobody was allowed to peer into, the very antithesis of this hobby. It should have been shunned by the community, but unfortunately too many folks are happy to put convenience before principals.

    EDIT: just to be clear, the dev of xara didn't reverse any of the code from vara.
