How Florida dems got their teeth kicked in when this is their competition is simply astounding

This is the kind of garbage that makes me wish beehaw allowed downvotes

Lmao this is weak as fuck. Sure, it can be seen as problematic in some sense, but… Like cmon. It’s not even in the same zipe code, let alone ball park

ChatGPT is my programming rubber ducky for general stuff

I mean, they could also just match two accounts by ip in the db as well im pretty sure. That would be a pretty simple sql query

Exactly, and I think that there’s even more downsides as well to strictly comment level disagreement. There’s never any point engaging with bigoted posts. Replies just draw more attention and make you more angry. Better to just downvote, report, and move on without spending too much emotional energy trying to bicker and squabble for a while thread.

There’s just an emotional inequity when it comes to a debate between, for example, a transphobe and a trans person. A transphobe likely knows everything they say can be bullshit - they don’t have to stick to reason. The whole point is just a rhetorical exercise where the cruelty and sadism is the point.

The trans person tho has to stick to researching the dsm v or guidances from credible medical institutions and respond with effort posts and Yada Yada. Everyone’s eyes glaze over and the end result is the trans person is exhausted and feels worse about their life.

Downvote and move on is just a means of reduction of digital self harm. I find it bad to not have it for cases like that, especially on communities where mods aren’t as caring about bigotry. To leave it unchallenged just shows that some people agree with it, and shows nothing to effect of how many people find it repulsive.

Third parties fail in a fptp system unfortunately. The whole fucking system needs to be reworked. Whether that happens before everything falls apart is anyone’s guess

Yep. Unless we pack the court or do something drastic, the US is screwed for decades.

Something has to change. Between the way our legislators are apportioned, to the way the EC works for the presidency, to the SC lifetime appointments, it just feels like theres no fucking hope

My generation is so fucked. Between looming climate collapse, rising inequality, inaccessible housing market, it just feels like shit isn’t worth even trying for.

We can’t even get a small amount of our student loans discharged when prior generations paid basically nothing for them. And - let’s not forget - how corps got all of their ppp shit written off. What a joke.

They’ve been saying mod tools have been coming since the first blackout years ago. It’s fucking ground hogs day everytime mods get pissed

I mean, look at EEE like Microsoft did in the 90s.

Personally, I’m also scared about Linux after Linus dies. They are on a lot of the board as well

I’d also worry about people who have corporate shit on there. Anyone who uses this as a tool should probably delete their chats and change their password, even if you don’t have anything proprietary or ground breaking in there just as a precaution

What about the nb verse though?

I imagine the frequency response curve is going to be a trash heap on these things. Mids? Who needs em?

Sure, people of all types can be awful, but there’s definitely trends within an organizations history from which a larger effect can be seen. Religion isn’t needed to be an asshole, but the venn diagram overlap is rather large. If you’re looking at things structurally, religion is often used as a tool of population management and often times goes hand in hand with imperialism. Everything from the Kamloops massacre and genocide to the undertones of homophobia in dancehall music often times comes from religious values imposed by authority figures.

Sure, there are philosophies such as liberation doctrine and the like that seek to make religion as a means to lift people from oppression, but if you take a large look at the effects of organized religion, that is very clearly the exception to the norm. Organized religion is often used as a structural hierarchy to dictate and govern morality, which is why it shares a lot with authoritarians that want to set up strict hierarchies of other means.

Theres ways to practice religion in non-assholish ways, but the religion itself, especially those with more organization in their structure, absolutely to spreads hate and vileness

Anything regarding pc building is f-u-c-k fucked rn. Trying to gets some finer info on bios settings yesterday was a few steps harder than it normally is lol

I believe the judge actually said something to the effect of “they chose to live with him still, and consented to the app”

I’m not a lawyer in the slightest, but wouldn’t stuff like that be grounds for a mistrial?

I built a style for lemmy that makes multiple changes in the UI. It requires an add on called Stylus, which is well worth it for a ton of other websites as well

It won’t be the last time reddit fucks up. And everytime they do, more people will come this way, especially as this place gets better and better
