No, it isn’t unfortunately. It means that any pain they potentially stave off now will be back on the table in another year. It just kicks the can down the road and if anything, it shows that they will be willing to cave into the same demands or arguements again next time.

We got here because the dems didn’t push back in any meaningful way over the last 16 years. Look at how McConnel fucked us over with the supreme court justices, judicial nominations, committee appointments etc.

We are here because the left tried to be reasonable with unreasonable people. Now that the stakes are high enough they finally figured out that strategy doesn’t work. I hope they make the repubs own the mess they made and show the public exactly why the govt is shut down, and whose fault it really is.

Don’t worry it’s engine nerd shit, no one there is having any sex.

On the fedira ws vm, I just layered it because its easy. I tried running openjdk in distrobox on bazzite but I didn’t have time to screw around with getting the program (Tunerstudio MS) that is already on my bazzite install to “find” the java in distrobox. I’m also REALLY new to distrobox so I was probably using it wrong. I’ll checkout toolbox later today.

Yeahh java is a pain in the ass to get setup on bazzite without breaking stuff when you have an os update. I spun a fedora vm up and just installed it there but I need to redo that because the program I need java for is on my main os and I can’t move the license without javing java installed on the main os…

Ah yes, more reasons to local host.

It’s a shame how contagious this bug is. It will likely get everyone before the shutdown ends. I wish them all the best in their health, they should take as long as they need to rest and recover.
