I’m the type of person who’d willingly give my data to train LLMs or what-have-yous if their owners weren’t a bunch of pricks and just asked me nicely instead of that “Legitimate Interest” cloak and dagger bullshit. Also if they weren’t money grubbing bastards.

if you're using a public email service like gmail; you've already done this and they've made billions because of off your information.

ditto when i moved to austin.

anecdotally: the length of the lines correlate with the wealth of the voting district. i think that texas is like arizona & georgia in that when the lines are long; they're REALLY long compared to the long lines i experienced in california, new york, & illinois; but the short line places always seemed to be much emptier on election day for some reason.

i've lived in 11 cities in this country over the decades chasing work to maintain my health insurance and my experienced seemed normal to my neighbors who had lived there most of their lives as well.

most of those cities had a large proportion of transplants like me and their experiences mirrored mine.

Fwiw it was less than 10 mins in the affluent neighborhoods I lived near San Francisco, California and New York and 1.5 hours in the poor neighborhoods in those same cities

Houston, Texas. 4.5 hours

The lines are intentional to discourage you from voting

sshfs might work if your fuse drive is mounted with options that will let it be shared and you have sudo access to enable sshfs. also ssh access is a requirement.

how is it mounted now? it should also be in that same mount printout and usually at the end of the line inside parenthesis.

What do you mean by intermediary? Do you mean syncing the files with the VM and then sharing the synced copy with the host?That wouldn’t work since my drive is smaller than the cloud drive and I need all the files on-demand.

that's one way. do you need them all at the same time? are they mostly the same size and type?

i think it's misguided because voting can have an impact; but doesn't since that's the extent of civic engagement for an overwhelming majority of americans which leads to manipulate-able voters who have to use their emotions to decide on things that they know nothing about.

i don't think that they're much different, if at all.

Oh sweet summer child, the Fediverse isn’t the safe space you think it is. Just because Lemmy’s devs are a bunch of tankie morons doesn’t mean shit. The moment admins and mods use their power to force their dumb narrative, people find a new instance to call home.

That’s why the vast majority of Lemmy users are on general purpose instances. The greater community is anti-Tankie and recognizes places like the ML instances and Hexbear to be the cesspools they are. Even if the ML instances are run by the Lemmy devs, they never became big like the Mastodon flagships because they have toxic admins.

As long as you’re out spreading pro-Trump propaganda, people will be here to call you out on it. I’m sure you’d enjoy a block so we can turn a blind eye to you, but that’s not what’s going to happen. If the tankie gatekeeping you’re doing keeps becoming a trend, you’ll may soon find yourself blocked by all of your critics, because nobody will federate with your instances anymore. At least then you won’t have any reach anymore and you can exist in the fringes where you belong.

And if the Lemmy devs prove to be a problem, Kbin and Mbin easily replace Lemmy. Tankies don’t own the fediverse and never will.

quoted for posterity's sake.

fwiw it think you're right about the future.
