Nah they got it right the first time.

From what I gather, many evangelicals who support Trump see him as a fighter against a corrupt worldly government and a champion of their causes.

Then there's the MAGA concept, which plays into their Great Replacement paranoia (the fear that the white Protestant American majority is being replaced by non-whites and non-believers).

The fact that he is about as far from Christ-like as it's possible to be doesn't seem to deter them all that much.

I think the issue is due to the fact that your laptop has a discrete Nvidia GPU, which complicates things on Linux machines. Your display outputs are therefore controlled by the Nvidia drivers themselves rather than the Linux kernel.

Check out sections 2.4.x of the Arch wiki Nvidia page and maybe you can find a way to configure it manually.

Here's the full complaint, for those who want to read the whole thing.

Same. GRUB might offer wider compatibility and support legacy BIOS, but it's a cantankerous, wheezy dinosaur compared to systemd-boot. I don't know why more distros don't at least offer the latter as an option during installation.

Gotta love the Christian nationalist infighting.

They're right, though. The proposed resolution put a ceasefire wholly contingent on Hamas giving up their only bargaining chip (hostages) instead of outright calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Had it passed, Hamas would have simply ignored it and Israel would have felt justified in continuing its murderous ethnic cleansing campaign.

You're absolutely right.

I'm old enough to have been in college in the aftermath of 9-11 and the build up to the second US-Iraq war and distinctly remember that nothing was able to still the beating of the war drums - not journalists calling out the "dodgy dossier" from UK intelligence that supposedly provided proof of WMDs, not a million anti-war protesters marching in the streets against the US/UK contravening the UN to invade Iraq. The government went ahead anyway, backed by a significant proportion of the media.

The feeling of futility with the current situation in Gaza is all too familiar.

The added benefit in the delay on Arch is that most maintained extensions will have already been made compatible by the time it hits the repos.
