Some states allow citizens to propose ballot measures if they get enough support, which then get put up to vote in the next election and become law, but both parties hate the practice and fight it wherever they can. No such thing exists at a national level though.
I feel kinda helpless as an American watching the petition grow. I wonder what would happen if an American petition got big, would corporate America kill it? Would it get traction? Idk…
This seems like a lot of work to bypass a password on an unencrypted drive. You can access all the files using a bootable Linux drive.
Being able to run on everything is nice, but what you’re actually asking for here is for a highly skilled (and rare) distro maintainer to dedicate substantial amounts of time to maintaining and testing thousands of packages on 32 bit systems in case someone wants to use it. It’s not just like users get to click a button and voila, they can run more games than before.
If you really need to use 32 bit software, eventually you’ll just have to manage it yourself because no one else is able to do it for you. That capability will almost never go away.
What would they have had to gain? Fox news would just pivot around it and move on. Trump was already a convicted rapist, tons of catholic priests are forgiven among their community for child rape, so it’s not hard to imagine Trump walking away clean from the whole thing.
Meanwhile, dems probably had a couple big donors to lose and possibly a former president. Sounds like a bad trade when the whole party’s MO is to keep their hands clean and never play dirty.
