Then what do you mean? No firefighters were running, therefore what? What would be the correct action for a person to take when voting in the 2024 presidential election?

You're making a lot of assumptions here. I don't even know what you think you are arguing against.
You seemed to be arguing for not voting or voting third party rather than voting for Harris with the whole "firefighters" analogy.
I was pointing out that by many not voting, or by voting third party, we've ended up with someone who is not only not a firefighter, to continue you analogy, but someone who is actively setting the fires.
Now I hate democracy and progressives and Palestinians apparently? You've broken the thread here.
So we allowed the arsonist to get the position when we could have had someone who was at worst ineffective.
This is depicting empty metal shelving. What looks like rails for a train is the lip of a shelf. What looks like the near-side of the tracks is the floor, and what looks like the far side of the tracks is the top of the shelving. That little balcony seems to be some place for displaying featured products of some sort.
Definitely hard to break the image of a train platform though.
I have a couple touch bar macs, and the touch bar is fine.
However, I installed Ubuntu on one of my touch bar macs. The keyboard has no physical escape key; that would be on the touch bar. So, my Ubuntu touch bar Mac now has no escape key, which is a bit problematic, so having a fix for that would be cool.
It is not a big deal for me, since I'm just using it as a server, but it could be a deal breaker for using a touch bar Mac with Linux as a PC.
I don't think I could see that sign and not tear it down
The person you are replying to is talking about pink sky being built on bluesky, and you equate that to Lemmy being based on Reddit. One is a hard technical dependency, and the other is a conceptual inspiration.
You are engaging in an equivocation fallacy, and I think you know that. You even try to sneak it in by switching to a different but similar word (built->based) with a different meaning, then you switched back again to "built" while using the term in the same way you used "based", then you start using other phrasing to obscure it even more. You are gaslighting with word games to try and get people to not notice your fallacy. It's super dishonest.
Seems like you read the first two sentences of my post and stopped there, so you completely missed the point.
It's not JS that is the problem. It's an issue of client resource use. That would be true no matter what language is being used.
That's not necessarily special to JS. It's special to client-side code. A mobile app writing in swift could do this. A cli tool written in any language could do this.
This isn't an argument against JS, it's an argument against misuse of client resources.
I used to think that the perceived complexity of the fediverse was creating a hurdle for more adoption.
Now all these fucking people are learning Chinese to better use RedNote.
Apparently convenience isn't actually a barrier? I'm baffled why so many people are flocking to anything other than the fediverse.
Do people think a bidet is using the water from the toilet bowl instead of fresh water?
How does that even apply?
I'm a voter. Presidential election is happening. Both options suck, but one is extra awful.
So the correct action is to run for president myself? And somehow build up grassroots support for myself over a series of 3 months sufficient to win? Too late.
We need someone to do that, yea, but that's no longer the action being taken in regards to the 2024 election. You still have to: vote Harris, vote Trump, vote for someone with no chance of winning, or not vote.
So while you "grab a hose" which of those 4 actual actions are you taking?
