Oh. I thought it was supposed to be about how hard it would be to do stuff while carrying around spoons in your hands all day.

Before the musk acquisition I had something like 8,000 people blocked… mostly the inane shit like “Patriot Christian Dog Mom” or incredible douchebags like “dc_draino”.

The official position of lemmy leftists tends to be that Democrats are the same as Republicans because they’re both ‘liberal’, as in the European sense meaning capitalist, which overlooks a whole lot and is an ignorant “both sides are the same” or single issue fixation. I’m not sure how that translates into never criticizing Republicans, though? There are 3-4 people who post stuff like that regularly, especially talk about the ‘genocide’ issue, encourage 3rd party voting etc and never acknowledge comments regarding how voting works in the US, meaning that talking endless shit about Democrats works to get Trump elected, and that getting Trump elected will in no way whatsoever help Palestinians.

Just anti-Democrat. Very consistently. Hits the same targets as Republicans, always, never criticizes Republicans.

Wow… a morning broadcast, apparently? Imagine seeing that with your kids before school. “Dad, what’s a ‘sex toy’?”

It’s like Elon Musk has managed to make Mark Zuckerberg seem like a good person by comparison. Or Trump was so awful that Democrats look back and think “huh, GWB was a decent president”

I don’t know where you live so I don’t have any relevant suggestions, sorry.

Not by voting for people in elections they can’t win. Vote at the local and state level or in primaries for people who will enact voting reform.

Maybe! Idk, I used to like mock duck. Soy based lunch meat is pretty good too. Alas, I’ll never be able to try this company’s stuff as it all has wheat in it.

Apparently this is a soy and wheat gluten loaf and is made in the Phillipines.

Not really what the headline is trying to say… AI debates means debates about AI, not AI participating in debates.

Definitely. Back when I used FB and Twitter I learned that reporting is entirely useless. You just end up with some automated message about how they reviewed it and it “didn’t violate their community standards” with some lame verbiage like “we realize this isn’t the outcome you were looking for”, regardless of how ridiculously blatant whatever you reported was. On the flip side, I was banned for clearly misinterpreted or brigaded comments, and then an appeal just gives you the inverse where they reviewed it and whatever you posted was definitely terrible and they “realize this isn’t the outcome you were looking for”.

I could ask Microsoft® Bing™ Copilot® (all rights reserved) to make you one.

Right, like “hey I’m going to post insulting and repetitive tripe and empty slogans, and make Lemmy worse after lunch today!” Great. Also, as countless people have pointed out, if they care so passionately about Palestinians, their activities are contrary to helping Palestine so…

right, i’m super out of date but you;d want to do shred or some dd dev/random > device thing to securely erase them.

Because of how filesystems work. There’s basically an index that tells the OS what files are stored where on the disk. The quickest way of deletion simply removes the entry in that table. The data is still there, though. So a data recovery program would read the entire disk and try to rebuild the file allocation table or whatever by detecting the beginning and ends of files. This worked better on mechanical drives than SSDs.

A nice illustration is Republican media operatives are trying to attack Harris with “we checked with McDonald’s corporate and they have no record of her working there!”. For one, McD’s is franchisees and I doubt corporate tracks every burger flipper. Next, of course they’re trying to claim she’s dishonest, but what about the greater question: Did fuckin Trump ever come anywhere near McDonald’s? No, he inherited about $400 million, has misconstrued it it repeatedly (‘a small loan of a million dollars’, as if that is relatable either) and has never had any sort of normal job that required discipline or labor, ever.

I’ve started to wonder if it’s even a real person. They don’t respond with any measure of logic or awareness to anything at all, just “liberals want genocide!!” over and over.

What he’s saying makes no sense at all, in real life. Voting for candidates who support voting reform at the state level is the way to get more choices on national ballots. Convincing otherwise D voters to vote for 3rd parties helps Trump. Maybe not MAGA scum, maybe just misguided and clueless? Who can tell.

Best I can tell, the sinister goal of getting Trump elected because this tripe sure isn’t going to help Palestinians.
