Muslims started slavery

TIL: There was no slavery before the 7th century CE

Should have given them a part of Germany then, instead of having the Palestinians pay for your nation’s crimes

systemd is the future, and the future has been here for over a decade and yet old Unix and BSD purists still cry about it

I have one simple thing to say to the downvoters: I am not using a minicomputer from 1970, why should I be bound by the limits set then?

I really hope the AI hype dies off

I respect this even if I don’t agree with it. If you believe voting for Harris is harm reduction then you have to and it is a moral imperative. So I do understand and empathize with people who are honest about how the Democrats are failing but still see critical issues like democracy, gender equality and rights, and the environment better handled by them.

However I believe this hope and faith is misplaced. But I realized this after 6 presidential elections, so I don’t dare to deny you your own experience and personal growth. In 2020 I still had hopes that the border detention will be over if we just get Trump and his racist goons out. The border camps are still here…

Somehow it feels like the government is on autopilot and the only thing elections change is the intensity.

I never defended Trump. In fact you will find that Trump is far less popular than Harris among Arab Americans and Muslim Americans. No Democratic presidential nominee in fact won a majority of white votes since LBJ, not even Clinton in 1992 and 1996. It is white people who mostly support Trump and Republicans. An insignificant minority of Arabs or Muslims not voting for Harris in Michigan or Pennsylvania won’t matter.

You are assuming too much about me too. I’m not Muslim or religious for example.

I’m just shocked that this is still up for debate. This year the weather has been erratic to say the least.

Worse even if Democrats win and there are no spoilers in the party (Mnuchin or Sinema), you are still only getting cap and trade which at one point was the Republican plan for climate change before they decided to go to full denialism.

Yes, but just one? By noon I am already on my third cup with two or three still left to be had over the afternoon and early evening.
