'Comprehensively derranged': Trump's 'red line' threat to Netanyahu draws fresh outrage
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-iran-2676321700/@DemocracyMattersALot He's gonna lose every bit of support he has left. MAGA is already fragmenting over his decision to unilaterally push the country into war.

The cult will fall back in line, but the #pedo #GOP has lost the #independent voters, the largest cohort of voters in the #USA, for decades.

@Bandersnatch @dalfen @DemocracyMattersALot Y’all have more faith in the electorate than I do. The fact that Agent Orange’s candidacy was even viable in 2020 or 2024 tells me we have many millions of voters sitting on the continuum between having no scruples or having no idea what is going on.

The GOP has lost 251 of the last 281 special elections since Trump was reelected. Highlights include a 31 point flip in a deep red Texas district & a 17 point swing in deep red Louisiana district.
Those independents may have not have much in the scruples department, but Trump has directly, obviously and indefensibly made their lives much worse.

It was never "viable".
He was forced on us. Shoehorned into a position of power by multi-billion dollar waves of propaganda that shoved his face into every household on every channel. Even the Democratic Party was helping "elevate" him to a "serious candidate" with their twisted Pied Piper Strategy.
Most Americans hate BOTH parties. We're conditioned to think this is who we are, these are our only options, this is the Overton Window and the "center" is somewhere between rabid fascism and limousine neoliberalism-- normalizing planetwrecking corporate feudalism and war profiteering across the board.
NONE OF THIS IS VIABLE.

@violetmadder @Bandersnatch @dalfen @DemocracyMattersALot By “viable” I simply mean that it was credible that Agent Orange might win. The vote in 2020 was far closer than it should have been.

@mkb @violetmadder @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot 'Agent Orange' – good term
And I agree that the vote was much closer than it should have been, but some of that could have been attributed to protest votes (or non-votes) rather than a strong base producing such voting turnout. The number of true loyalists might be lower than it seemed, as evidenced by MAGA voices (prominent and common) who are now speaking out against his actions.

How long has it been since the US had anything like solid exit polling?
Just because the Republicans like to shout about the goofy forms of election fraud that aren't real, doesn't mean it's not rigged in much more effective ways.

One of the foremost experts on election security is right here on Mastodon: @mattblaze. Tools such as risk-limiting audits can enhance security considerably.
That said, R’s have been working hard to put their collective thumb on the scale, often right out in the open.

@mkb @Bandersnatch @dalfen @DemocracyMattersALot I have a neighbor who supports Trump. She thinks all the horrible things that is being reported that he's doing is a lie and it's not true. Really

@violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot There is lots of dramatic persuasion & propaganda in the US, but as far as actual (prosecutable) fraud, the conservative Heritage Foundation only lists 1,620 incidents in 43 years, essentially nil (~0.00076% for presidential elections).
Exit polling happens all over the USA. States' results are openly publicized. I'll research it more.

@FaithinBones @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot I know there are a lot of people like that, unfortunately. I have also heard others who are now against various things that Trump is doing, like his "little excursion" in Iran. I hope there are more of the latter.

I tried to help verify the vote counts in California's 2016 Democratic primary. It was a shitshow.
When the margin for winning is smaller than the margin of error, much of everything is happening inside of proprietary corporate boxes, count observers can't get close enough to observe anything meaningful, and there's other weird shit like the huge shredder truck outside Alex Padilla's office the next morning-- I don't trust our electoral system as far as I could kick it.
On top of the gerrymandering and bought-out media, and that Princeton study already showed only about 10% of legislation reflects what the people want vs what big money wants.
This is not what democracy looks like.

@dalfen @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot @mattblaze
Anybody who wasn't fetishizing billionaires and their toys could do it better. Hell, why not just sortition.
Me? Abolish capitalism, for a start. Return the commons to the goose. Ownership of things, from factories to residences etc goes only to the people who personally and directly need those things. Horizontal bottom-up organizing based on community councils. The type of stuff Rojava and the Zapatistas are working on, like collectivism, communitarianism, and anarcho-communism.
And if there's any large scale voting, it's gotta be open source.

Thanks for the reference.

@aeva Huh, it must default to a really low version, which is why so many extensions say they're unsupported. Thanks so much! I'll go try it right away.

Yes, all extensions except ARB_vertex_program are now supported!

Portable CRT TV Becomes Retro Cyberdeck
These days, it’s pretty easy to slap together a single-board computer and a cheap LCD screen to whip up a cool cyberdeck fast. But what if you wanna go more retro? [Manu] found a portable TV straight out of the original Blade Runner film, and decided this would be the perfect base for a cyberdeck rocking a whole-ass CRT screen.
The build started with a Panasonic TR-545 television. Back in the day, it took many large batteries to power this thing up—no surprise given how power hungry CRTs are. This gave [Manu] a neat opportunity to sneak all the new cyberdeck hardware into the original battery tray, including a new lithium-ion battery pack that is much more compact than the original. A Raspberry Pi 5 is running the show, computer-wise, and it’s hooked up to an HDMI RF modulator that allows the video output signal to be hooked up to the TV’s original antenna input. It’s not the cleanest way to go, but it allowed [Manu] to make the mod entirely reversible. All the new hardware slots neatly into the repurposed battery tray, and can be removed quite easily without damage to this vintage specimen. Even the keyboard fits nicely into the setup, as [Manu] was able to find a suitable 60% layout foldable unit right off the shelf.
Check out the slide deck for more details on the build, but be warned—it’s a 241 MB PDF. Bonus points if you calculate what that would cost to store on a hard drive in 1979 when the Panasonic TR-545 was on the market. We’ve seen a similar build before, too, with a classic black & white Magnavox unit. If you like squinting at a tiny blurry screen, a CRT cyberdeck is absolutely the way to go. Just be warned that the other screenwriters at your local coffee shop will be more interested in your hardware than whatever you’re actually working on. Good luck with your next pitch all the same. Video after the break.

@landelare Can't blame OpenGL in this case. @aeva pointed out I missed an initialization function, in GTK not OpenGL, so it would have failed even if I used DirectX. Looks like the problem is me not reading the documentation correctly.
