I should've made it clear, but I mean really far left in the context of America's overton window, not for me personally. DSA would be considered really far left in American politics and thus would be probably be considered way too radical in states where Democrats don't already dominate in. Though tbh Abdul El-Sayed isn't technically a DSA member, so maybe he wasn't a good example. However, it seems like the article I was replying to is implying that we should be pushing out more radically left wing candidates, thus why I said "really far left"

    AIPAC is used by the far right to argue that the jews control America as a puppet state. Some of the more insane leftists (e.g. BadEmpanada) believe the same thing but uses the term "Zionist" as a dog whistle. So, it's understandable that you would dismiss it's existence as a conspiracy theory

    I mean, it already did, didn't it? Iirc slop used to just mean low effort, cheap, formulaic, and safe content or whatever you're describing. Now to most people, it just means anything made using generative AI, which in most if not all cases would fit this definition, but now it heavily implies AI use now

    In 2 years? No. Believe it or not, there is no "fix economy" button to press when Democrats get in office. We have to clean up the mess MAGA made first before we can begin to fix anything

    Even if I assume Trump is telling the truth, that's what we need as a president! Someone who sarcastically says one thing and only reveal it as a joke later when the people get confused. Shout out to when Trump told everyone to inject themselves with bleach to cure COVID-19. Gee, I wonder why people take his words seriously, it's not like he's the most powerful man in the world and should make absolutely clear that something is joke if you're going to make one

    I mean, Abdul barely won so I wouldn't say going really far left just automatically works either. If I grant that centrist just means liberal (which is left of center), I think what the midterms taught us is that it depends on the state since most of the candidates that won would be considered too far right by more progressive leaning people. In other words, the overton window is slightly different in each state, and thus some policies that would be considered moderate in New York would be considered radical in Mississippi

    I'd probably be the perfect example of that stereotype since the only thing I actually know how to cook from the top of my head is scrambled eggs and ramen (if you can even count that). I always just prepare frozen meals (e.g. breakfast bowls) since I rarely give myself time to actually cook something. Tbf though, I feel like if I was forced to cook something, assuming I had access to the internet to get instructions, I could cook anything basic just fine. Though maybe that's just cope, lol

    Since I'm going to switch to Linux Mobile soon after Android gets locked down, I was also considering getting involved in developing software for it since I imagine one major problem is the lack of support. However, I'm not sure which distro to daily drive or develop for, so I was curious what the community thinks.

     

    As someone who downloads or buys their music to listen to via VLC, it's quite annoying when the volume level between files aren't consistent. Especially when I'm unable to easily to change the volume like when I'm doing physical labor as an example. So it can go from a perfectly reasonable volume, to damaging my ears, and then to where I can barely hear. I was thinking of going in and manually editing them myself to be consistent amongst each other at some point, but then it got me thinking. Is there an application that will equalize the volume on your audio files for you? If not, would anyone else have a use for one besides me? I'd love to know either way.
