International election observers found the election to be fair and valid.

National Lawyers Guild: “The delegation observed a transparent, fair voting process with scrupulous attention to legitimacy, access to the polls, and pluralism.”

Council of Electoral Experts of Latin America (CEELA): Venezuela has the best electoral system in Latin America, due to which Venezuelans can “vote in peace and tranquility knowing that the votes will be counted, that the will of Venezuelans will be reflected in the results declared by the National Electoral Council.”

South Africa: “The observers condemn and dispel allegations of fraud by the Reuters media group reporting on the elections taking place in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela without actually being present. Claims or allegations of fraud have been found to be baseless and mischievous with Venezuela’s electoral system considered one of the best in the world.”

They only people claiming fraud are the Americans and the losers. Unrelated fact, they both want to privatise the oil company PDVSA.

I would distinguish election observer groups reporting their first hand observations and politicians making statements. For South America:

Claim fraud:

  • Argentina
  • Chile
  • Costa Rica
  • Ecuador
  • El Salvador
  • Panama
  • Peru
  • Uruguay

Seek verification:

  • Brazil
  • Bolivia
  • Colombia
  • Guatemala
  • Guyana
  • Mexico
  • Paraguay

Support:

  • Bolivia
  • Cuba
  • Nicaragua

You might be able to notice political leanings of the groups. Capitalists not liking an election result doesn’t make it fraudulent. The same claims were made of previous elections and proven false after audit.

All of this is to ignore the 100 year history of U.S-backed coups in Venezuela and trade sanctions. It is hard to take American voices seriously when they claim to advocate for the people of Venezuela while enforcing sanctions that destroy their quality of life.

Let me know of any groups I missed, but as far as I can tell only the Carter Center and the opposition were on the ground and unhappy with the outcome.

The Carter Center seek disaggregated results by polling station to corroborate the results. The opposition took their own exit polls and claim 70% of the vote. All statements by nations are informed by one or both of these groups. That’s why I said the Americans and losers are the ones claiming fraud. The opposition are clearly biased, while the Carter Center I would go on a limb and call USA aligned.

Have a read of the National Lawyers Guild full report, they go through the US’s actions to discredit the election.

Just a few days before the election, on Friday, July 26, 2024, a who’s who of Latin American right-wing personalities sought to enter the country on a private jet. US mainstream media portrayed this as a benign action without recognition of their previous human rights violations and their efforts to undermine Venezuelan democracy. Former Colombian Vice President Marta Lucia Ramirez, who was on the plane, has a long history of supporting campaigns to destabilize the duly elected Venezuelan government. While these individuals claim they sought to observe the election, it is unclear what training, framework, reporting mechanism, or authority they have to do so.

Just noticed your addition to a previous comment:

Funny how it seems like every one of these BRAVE ANTI-US NATIONS is utterly dependent on American trade to guarantee a basic standard of living for their people.

They are a petrostate, all of their money comes from oil, nearly everything else they have to buy from other countries. Their economy was fucked when oil prices went down in 2014. The biggest buyer in the region is the USA, so when they stopped buying they were double fucked. Certainly an argument can be made that playing ball with USA is the way to go when it’s the easiest path to grow exports. Just a shame that the person to vote for that option is a CIA spy

We’re starting to argue about media bias and Venezuelan politics, which I don’t think could possibly end. Surely I’ve outstayed my welcome on this lemmy community. I thank you for responding to and reading my links instead of just deleting them. Keep on fighting the fascists.

The only problem I run into is sites that use Bluetooth or USB APIs to talk to a local device. Both Firefox and Safari don’t implement them due to security concerns.

My partner worked for a local council. They reset your password every 90 days which prevented you from logging in via the VPN remotely. To fix it you’d call IT and they’ll demand you tell them your current password and new password so they can change it themselves on your behalf.

Even worse, requesting a work iphone meant filling out an IT support ticket. So that IT could set up your phone for you, the ticket demanded your work domain username and password, along with your personal apple account username and password.

Thank god we have crypto bros like Sigma G and Sina_21st to get the inside scoop on the Chinese rural bank loan crisis.

I’ve been using my Sennheiser HD 598 s for over 10 years. I’d recommend anything the same shape/size: being large over ears means it doesn’t touch or squeeze your ears at all. Being open backed and velvet padded stop my ears getting hot and sweaty. Being wired saves weight, prevents lag/quality concerns and isn’t too big a deal in a stationary gaming situation.

I do need to use an external mic for chatting, which is not ideal if you’re gonna be always in voice chats when gaming. Dedicated gaming headsets tend to not sound as good for the same price, but can’t deny the convenience.

Here is a recent rundown of recommendations by audiophile youtubers for gaming headphones might be worth watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIwgVzSiZ68

A lot of desktop motherboards have a slot for a M.2 WiFi card like that AX200. Usually though they already come with a card anyway. You can often also use the same ssd/HDDs going from laptop to desktop. CPU, RAM, and GPUs are different sizes and connectors though, and won’t be transferrable.

Main thing for choosing a mac is the personal preference for the OS / interface. Its not totally better than Windows, there’s pros and cons. You have to really want it to pay for the overpriced hardware. Even second hand they retain a lot resale value.

Main thing is the lug width. You could get a few straps on the smaller side and they’ll fit inside bigger lugs, just not look ideal.

Something that can be worth buying in person, even a mall key/watch repair stall would have a variety of types and sizes on hand and can find you something suitable on the spot.
