USA police have to be the most unprofessional on the planet, right? How do any of them have jobs...?

Yeah... but I think it's too late for Mastodon to be popular. Bluesky is already at the tipping point.

Mastodon just needed to sign you up to their own default server, power users could sign up to different ones and they would have still got the regulars in the door. Mastodon also needed twitter feature parity, something Bluesky also managed much faster.

Once people are in and settled, then they would start asking questions about that URL after their username, people would slowly become comfortable with the federation and understand it.

Considering he will be leading a government department he just called "DOGE", along with the rest of Trump, I'd say the USA is royally fucked, Tesla will be the least of their troubles.

You reap what you sow.

It should be as intuitive as getting out of any car, a regular handle.

In this case, they have lifeboats (apparently), they were just all hidden down in the ship somewhere (apparently).

Should just be a law to have a regular fucking door handle, we don't need fancy/electric doors. Telsa's should all be taken off the road with their shitty track record.

By definition of who? It's a nice word the USA would like to use for itself, but in reality it has no more influence than China, the EU and the Commonwealth. The truth is, the US will forever be a western ally, even if Trump would erode that somewhat through his rash decision making.

These are two of the most powerful men in the world. The US isnt as powerful as it would want you to believe. An allied Europe is a far bigger beast.

You are also underestimating how sites like SO really helped a new generation of programmers learn. Anyone could search and learn things, whether to take a serious approach or just for a bit of fun.

I thought the idea of the US version was just to avoid republicans.

It's an election though, for the person to run your country. You have to put some research into the candidates, not just copy what sign someone else put out in their lawn. This unfortunately wasnt an election where you can just look at policies (one party just had ideas of a policy, and thats a major red flag), there's a bigger picture of who you are putting in power.

I agree with your points, they all make sense, but even if the democrats had a more aggressive anti-trump campaign, thet still wouldnt have seen it (maybe a tiny bit more likely to tho) or they would have already been indoctrinated into the cult and just ignore it.

Education systems should be teaching simple things like this to kids, everyone should know the importance of an election.

Another issue is people collectively thinking their 1 vote doesnt matter.

I hope you guys can take back your country in 2028.

Yeah, because apparently Americans don't look at the actual candidate, or listen to what they say. Trump told nothing but lies the whole campaign, just attacking democrats at rallies. He is a narcissistic bigot, a convicted felon. He's racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic. He's a fraudster, a misogynist, he hates democracy, literally said he would be a dictator, among many other extremely undesirable traits you would want in a leader. That's the entire point people are making while the media are ignoring all that and blaming the democrats for not being as radical.

It's absolutely insane that he got elected. Anyone with any sort of critical thinking would not even dream of voting for him.
