Damn, those are beautiful! Great job!

I'm not asking for a perfect candidate, not sure where you got that from.

My whole point is that Harris' positions got her some number of voters. We now know that this number was too small, and we also now know that they knew this fact.

Harris could have changed her positions to get more voters, but she didn't. How is this not completely her fault?

Again, I'm not asking her to be some perfect politician. I'm asking her to look at the polling results (which we know she had) and to adapt her campaign based on those, which she didn't do.

While I can understand your perspective, it's one of those unfortunate cases where ideology clashes with reality.

Yes, Trump never planned on following through on actually helping people. He lied, and people bought it. And yet it's no ones fault Harris's that she decided to tell people "things won't change if you vote for me".

A nation of voters isn't made up of individuals who you can convince, it's a crowd of people following certain dynamics, just like any other large grouping of things. You can either accept that and work with this fact to steer the crowd, or you can ignore this fact and lose because you're trying to go against the flow. And in the end, the only people who had any meaningful control was Harris' campaign.

Imagine you're a shepherd, and your flock is running towards the edge of a cliff. Sure, you can plant your feet and say "they shouldn't run off the cliff", but the only end result will be losing all your sheep.

No, not true on Linux. We have the XDG folder specifications to specifically not have our ~ cluttered with random shit.

Doing this on Linux is no better than doing it on Windows.

Oh, that's "sweet basil"? Interesting, I've never seen any with those spikes on the outside of the leaves. The ones I've seen were perfectly smooth.

Wait, where's normal Basil?

I support FOSS LLMs, but which actually exist? Which LLMs have open-sourced all their training data?

I agree that we should incentivize open source work, but my worry is that by legitimizing partial open source as "open source", you're disincentivizing fully open source work. After all, why put in the effort if you'll get the same result with way less work?

The incentive you're asking for is a disincentive against full open source, and I can guarantee you that if the existing "open source" term wasn't defended by hardliners, there'd be far less open source work in the wild than we have today.

"We let the campaign be run by the same people who already lost against Trump in 2016. Why did we lose?"
