Likely, although all votes are not counted yet. All while getting fewer votes than previously, so he was very beatable. It seems people were just not excited to vote for Harris.

Coincidentally, a woman has never been elected POTUS, and she shifted right to embrace “former Republicans” while shrugging off progressives. Total coincidence.

Unfortunately, your statement probably only deserves bothsides.jxl. Please attempt to honestly and objectively compare things, despite the personal inconvenience.

They make mistakes, but Firefox and Mozilla are obviously nowhere near as fucked up as Chrome and Google by any measure. And Firefox would only improve if people stopped running back to Chrome when something was not perfect.

Definitely check voter registration. Quick and easy at state or county website. And register any change of address (along with updating ID, DL).

I usually remember to check about a month before election, or when I see a new illegal “voter purge” in the news (always GOP).

At least MS account may be slightly more useful (OS, software, school, work). There is literally no reason to have PSN account except a few exclusive games on PlayStation. Even worse are smaller game devs and pubs nagging for accounts.

Of course there is no great reason offline/SP/old games should require an account to play, and out of principle “nope” should be considered. But almost every goddamn thing requires an account these days. At least we have decent password managers now…

Mike is barely in control of his party, just ignored them and Donnie by “funding the government” (what a controversy!) and is probably about to lose his job (either by his party, or by election). Zelenskyy should not pay this stunt much attention; just have someone privately tell them what they want to hear, and carry on.

I’m really disappointed that we don’t yet have the “press X to activate impenetrable orb shield” that videogames have had for decades.

Sometimes I think people forget we are animals, who have been acting civilized for a relatively short amount of time. Also, there are plenty of ways to damage our brains and increase aggression (violence, accidents, substances, etc).

Definitely not proper armor, versus Ukrainian drone wizards. Or maybe Putin is just trying to save money with fake armor.

Love the efficiency: Inexpensive remote operated drone… whirr, boop… big scary expensive Russian machine (and poor bastards inside) instantly destroyed. Video uploaded. Repeat.

I used Power Delete Suite (javascript IIRC, via Firefox, year ago) to edit and delete, and mine are still gone. Not sure if it is still effective.

Reddit is probably less and less tolerant about edits and deletions, now that they’re full speed on selling our data. Still see plenty of deleted posts when I’m searching for things, which is… nice I guess (bittersweet).

Yes we can. It’s in my blocked users, like any others (using Sync app). I’ve blocked it mostly because the formatting is lazy and word count excessive. It just “gets in the way”. Plus I generally already know the bias of most reputable sources, as do most news junkies.

(I think the joke is that Russians love to claim, without sharing any evidence, absurd things when they lose, or their enemies win. As they did in the women’s boxing match. Ukraine is their enemy. It all originates from Putin having a deformed micropenis.)

It’s almost the least someone at the campaign could do. I’ll donate eventually (they seem to be doing fine for now!), but it would be great to see them show some love for the superior principled social media outcasts of the fediverse and Mastodon.

For things that look legit, for example seasonal political campaigns, and include in message something like “reply STOP to quit”, replying “STOP” does usually end it quickly. Recommended.

Should be one of the first things any anti-spam app/feature should be doing. Wish it was automated into OS spam defenses, then the “responsive human” worry would be eliminated.

I thought this was the best course of action, too. It was not. New numbers, seemingly infinite, keep spamming me. They are political, seemingly real Democrat-linked entities (but I’m skeptical because this spam is obviously a brain-dead idea). After replying “STOP”, they definitely slowed.

I love Keepa, and the Firefox addon. However, they seemed to nerf their wishlist features (auto sync problems, 10 items max, etc). Noticed after missing deals, due to not receiving alerts of price drops. Still very useful, but CCC now has more reliable auto tracking lists (just add to wishlist, it will auto sync and email any drops).

Yes. Just FYI: All three have free “freeze” option, hidden somewhere (probably thanks to federal law). They also have very similar paid option, which they heavily advertise; That’s not the one. They do all require free accounts, but probably worth it to be able to freeze/unfreeze instantly online.

I just received “dark web” alert about SSN, phone, name, and email… that I only used at AT&T many years ago. So AT&T has definitely leaked our data as well. Add 'em to the list…

I think they should hurry the fuck up (with robots and “AI” workers). Do it, cowards. Nuke the job market. Mass unemployment. (UBI to the rescue? GOP insanity will never allow it.) Kick off the revolution. The hunt for their bunkers, maybe something a bit different from guillotines this time.

Wait… we’ll just get a bunch of fake populist cults and militias, won’t we. Or something much dumber.

Obligatory: Nice.

This president has acted like he was owned by the cartels since day one. Good luck to any peace he thought that would bring. Seems like a disaster for their future in the long-term.

Gov Abbott in Texas tried this desperate stunt in 2023. Only one state alone, but it was still a clusterfuck. Anyone relying on goods from Mexico got fucked (tons of things, but esp. perishables, grocery stores). Cost the state and businesses millions. He gave up pretty quickly, the pathetic little piss baby.
