Donald "I have nothing to do with Project 2025" Trump gives Project 2025 writer a position in his government

You know programming to an extent

That's just rude lol, you know nothing about my experience. My personal opinion isn't even super relevant here though; if we look at the professional consensus, they tend to agree.

I haven't seen any evidence that you have any understanding of this topic at all. You keep saying we should do it because it would be good-- which it would be-- but wanting something to be easy doesn't actually make it easy. You say there's plenty of evidence; SHOW IT then if you're so confident! I'll even start, here's an article by the AAAS with sources: https://www.aaas.org/epi-center/internet-online-voting

I loved that one

Yup. I will, however, feel less empathy for the people who did vote for these policies

It's a political post and was popular enough to get shown outside of the community. What did you expect?

It's describing the type of desert by specifying its name. Even in situations where it's not rhe proper name (ie. chai tea), there are equivalent English formations (ie. "tea tea" to distinguish "traditional" tea from other varieties).

I'm not wrong lmao. I didn't say it was impossible, I said the government is not capable of implementing it in a way that would be secure. Put up or shut up, don't just claim that I'm wrong because you said so lol

The importance of the service is also exactly why it would be one of the most attacked online systems in the entire world. Even relatively secure systems are hit with zero-day attacks that can entirely compromise them. The US government especially is technologically outdated and I wouldn't trust them to so much as install security updates.

Since they can only think about themselves, they cannot think of someone taking an action that they didn't already do

Pissing off stockholders is a benefit

Yes, but I believe e-voting being a bad idea is the common opinion among not just programmers but cybersecurity professionals specifically as well.

I’d love for just ONE of these people demanding we stop sending weapons to Israel to lay out a plan on exactly how to go about it

I'm pretty sure the answer you're going to get is "1. Stop sending them 2. Profit"

:(

People here just want to be outraged and anger about everthing

I find this quite ironic considering your previous posts.

You haven't really said anything though. You just keep claiming "it's complicated bro". How? We're reasonable people here, for the most part. If you can explain why it's not simple, people might listen.

No, you haven't. You've repeatedly claimed that experts think pulling out of a 20 year conflict is complicated*, but haven't provided the slightest insight into how that might be. In fact, you've admitted that you don't know. If you put 1/10th as much effort into researching this instead of just making 20 appeals to authority and saying we can't hope to understand it, you would know what's complicated about it.

* and I'm not saying it's not complicated. But making 20 posts to this effect with no further substance has no value.

As a programmer I really really don't think this is an idea we're capable of implementing in a way that's safe/secure/etc.

Again- nuance. Understand it.

I do, don't be smug. Come on now.

Anyways, thank you for providing concrete reasoning, maybe you'll have convinced some more people now.

...is my free will in danger? 😥

I guess I'll have no choice but to upgrade to paid will

Indeed I am. Such is the wonder of free will.

Did you die?

AI will (and already can) "solve" global warming by summarizing the solutions that we already know are effective but refuse to implement

If Fediverse users don't even agree on whether instances are important or just an implementation detail, how could a new user know?

Of course, there is no reason to suggest that a political party can't be good or bad, only that it's not a necessity

I don't think that slogan communicates what you're saying here well, if at all

actually decent men are aware that they are complicit by their very existence as men under the patriarchy

Could you fucking imagine saying this about any other group of people

The call(er) was coming from inside the house?

We just recognized the comment it should've been a reply to and acted accordingly. All is going well

Don't they already have a stockpile from last time?

These people need to be banned from doing this lmao

Get a clue moron, maybe if people stopped being literal cartoon villains and trying to commit treason we'd stop sending them to jail.

Fuck these trolls

The president hears the people no longer agree with our stance on Israel

The president changes his policies to reflect the will of the people

This is how it's supposed to work!

This is sexual harrassment, not assault. It's still disgusting, but there's no reasonable expectation of harm. They can always take off the headset.

I estimate you could save 98.6% of your expenses by cutting all legal costs if you stopped being a massive piece of shit
