In 2016, Democrats didn't vote for Hillary because she just didn't "do it" for them. We got Trump thanks to their adorable little protest vote.
2024 14 million registered Democrats didn't vote in this election because Harris just didn't "do it" for them. But since they HAD registered, they were prepared to vote.
I'm starting to detect a really stupid, petty pattern, here.
Believe people when they show you what they really are.
Also, bring back gauges, instead of idiot-lights. It's nice to know when a problem is beginning (overheating, etc) before it becomes a crisis when you have no choice but to pull over.
Do you think Trump will try to flee the country?
For the 1000th time Tesla: don't call it "autopilot" when it's nothing more than a cruise control that needs constant attention.
Companies are stealing your computer's resources (hard disk space, CPU time) to build their own Skynet and charging you for the privilege.
Rich people have special access to the legislative machinery that you and I don't. Through ~~bribes~~ "contributions" they can craft laws that let them avoid paying their fair share of the tax burden. They can also "modify" pending legislation to remove the penalties for breaking those laws. It must be nice to live in a consequence-free environment.
So is Donald Trump "presidential" yet? Trump will never get a bigger or better venue than Madison Square Garden between now and the election and THIS is the stupid shit he is going with.
I'm glad I keep backup copies of anything that might be important later on, like the 40 gig MAME Rom library.
Well, you should care about it because that's how online communities get ruined. Case in point: Twitter has become a propaganda tool for an apartheid-loving fascist since he bought it.
A distributed service is much less vulnerable to being bought up by a single narcissistic billionaire who can ruin the online experience of millions of people at once.
A distributed service like Lemmy is spread out over 600 Instances in countries all over the world. If someone buys the most popular Lemmy Instance and wrecks it, those users can simply move to the same communities on the second or third or fourth most popular Instance and the original Instance will wither and die. This also works for communities with power tripping moderators. You can quickly find out through a search which community is the "real" one by the number of subscribers it has.
Yeah but mechanical car door handles aren't "Cool." You don't want to have a car that isn't cool, right?
