If Democrats said murdering trans folks was necessary to beat Trump that means the overton window is too far gone and I’d be looking to ship as many trans folks out of the country as I could manage with my means. If and when it reaches that point, US democracy would be too far gone to even consider saving it. I don’t believe it is right now, as flawed as it is currently. Which is why engaging in harm reduction is still worth it.

Oh, please tell me which third party candidate not only has a real shot at this election but is also not just a far-right grifter in disguise.

Trump was already president once and my political work was actually easier because liberals were outraged and could not understand the complicoty of their representatives.

Hope you can look trans and queer people in the eye and tell them their genocide will be worth it in the end because you’ll stop all genocides. You know, after they’re dead and gone.

not sapping wealth from developing nations like imperial core countries do

Oh, like Wagner Group is doing in Sudan, Central African Republic, Burkina Faso, etc.? Good to know they’re not Russian. Or are you gonna tell me it’s fake news by the mainstream media?

The global south may feel relieved now, but they are merely trading western colonialism for eastern neo-colonialism. I hope they realize that before they can regret it, like Kenya is starting to with China.

I didn’t say you lived in Russia. I meant “your side” as in, the side you defend. Meaning Russia, in this case, allegedly.

“Only the US has ever committed war crimes and genocide, my side is perfectly clean! I am very smart!”

Putin is no one’s friend but his own. I could go on but I remember your pro-Ruzzia tirades and it isn’t worth arguing with bad faith arguments, you’ll learn for yourself eventually when, shocking no one, shills like you outlive your usefulness and get disposed of.

(yeah, I wouldn’t hold my breath on that)

Don’t think that’ll work in his favor but then again, he also thought he’d conquer Ukraine in 3 days…

Reverse psychology? Is he trying to make libs think that Biden has been compromised by Russia, therefore Trump wins, which is actually what Putin wants?

I have heard that 20.04 will be supported until 2027.

Only if its support period somehow got extended, normal LTS support period is 5 years.

Also in their blog they said they’re planning to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 base OS when that comes out.

Must have missed that then. That’s reassuring, in that case.

Ubuntu Touch is not even that up to date, really. It only recently rebased to 20.04 from 16.04 and 20.04 will go EOL next year, while there’s still no promises on how they plan on transitioning to the next LTS release (I get that they’re a team of volunteers while Google is a massive corporation, but working on what was essentially abandonware to begin with was likely a disservice, as other mobile Linux distros can follow the upstream a lot more closely than Ubports does).

Your arguments are right, indeed, though they are rendered a bit moot when we’re in a thread discussing Ubuntu Touch, which is like, 10 times more insecure than any custom Android ROM, since it uses a desktop Linux security model pretty much.

Out of curiosity, how is it wrt messaging apps? From what I remember, the only good one used to be TELEports (for Telegram), but if you wanted to use Signal or such you were pretty much out of luck. Has the situation changed?

That is true, but GrapheneOS is only available for Pixel phones (for good reasons, but still, a lot of people can’t just switch phones on a whim).
