First, A lot of the far-left authoritarian users are in other instances, like lemmy.ml. Those communities are easy to avoid and users from there easily identified.

Second, I can only guess you're talking about Harris when speaking "a communist and a known war monger". Speaking as a former libertarian Republican (who left the party when Trump took over), Harris isn't communist or far left. That's 100% right-wing propaganda. America's Democratic party is pretty conservative compared to liberal and leftist parties in Europe and isn't that much to the left of the pre-Trump Republican party.

As for the known warmonger, I have no idea what you're talking about.

You know fascism has a definition, right? It doesn't mean "I don't like it".

Plus, there's so much disinformation from the other side that you're apt to lose voters that consume any amount of that crap.

If something doesn't energize your base and it makes you lose votes from outside your base, it's a net loss to campaign on. It seems that climate change is currently one of those issues.

Pretty sure this isn't real guys. There's no "Do not thaw pizza" clause.

He's probably talking about the article released by Mozilla a few weeks ago.

But basically all car manufacturers have absolutely terrible privacy policies.

Add an extra column to the right side of the board.

That's assuming that they're authentic and not propaganda pieces...

I'm convinced our media is hell-bent on promoting Trump at any opportunity.

I feel like Trump could do anything on that stage and the story pushed out by the media will be some weird criticism about how disappointing Harris' performance was.

Like, Trump could answer every single question with a rant about how cheeseburgers just aren't as good as they used to be and no-one would bat an eye. Then the story for weeks will be about how "Harris just wasn't detailed enough about how her economic policies. She didn't even mention how the Distiller's Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS)/cash corn ratio would change per week over the next decade or two. Harris clearly is too light on the policy front."

I hope I'm wrong, but I've come to expect the worst from our media lately.

Our butter stick wrappers have volume measurements on them. I've never melted butter to measure it.

Generally, yeah. The way they worked with Mick Gordon last game was awful though.

I like to send the HTML, CSS, and JS to my laser printer personally.

Retroid makes some good stuff too.

I have a bunch of devices. Steam Deck, Miyoo Mini, Retroid Pocket 3+, Analogue Pocket, modded 3DS, and various modded Gameboys.

For most retro games, I find myself reaching for the RP3+ the most. Don't get me wrong, all the other devices are great too, but it's a great size and works without fuss up through PSP.

And for value/$, it's hard to go wrong with any of the trending emulation devices, be it from Anbernic, Miyoo, or Retroid.

Could you imagine if the presidential candidates and their VP pick had to play Overcooked together for a few hours?

It wouldn't even have to be a competition on score. You could learn so much about them so fast - their communication, ability to adapt, and how they handle frustrations.

Weird. You'd think that's show up in her voting record when she was a US Senator.

Based on her votes, she was one of the most progressive in the Senate.

There's a whole segment of the population that lives in a different reality, probably due to right-wing media conditioning.

Show them something well researched, understood, and explained and they're likely to dismiss or reject it. Say something completely bonkers about someone or something they don't like and they'll gobble it up without a second thought.

As bad as it is now, if Trump returns to power, he would make the Palestinian and Ukraine situations so much worse. Beyond that, we could see genocide here.

Because the situation is polarizing in American politics and unlikely to resolve any time soon, it seems unwise to push potentially unpopular policy with short-term gains that lose you an election to someone who would probably celebrate the end of Palestine and their people.

It's like complaining that the roof is leaking and wondering why no-one cares while the house is on fire.

I've used Authy for years now without issue. Seems it's not a popular option anymore.

Is there something I should know about? Or are other options much better now?

Reminds me of ones like "You're one fry short of a Happy Meal", or "You've lost some marbles". They generally imply that you've lost or are missing some mental faculties.

Another one of his attorneys turned to testify against him in the election fraud case.

Are you talking about the fairly recent news about Jenna Ellis? Unless I'm mistaken, she's cooperating with a different set of fake electors cases that's based out of Arizona.

Even as someone who follows this stuff fairly regularly, it's impossible to keep track of all of Trump's criminal cases... and that's just the stuff we know about that prosecutors have picked up.

The documents case could absolutely lead to jail time if Smith can push for another judge. Cannon can’t postpone indefinitely without repercussions.

If he loses the election and if the Supreme Court stays out of it, I'd agree.

He also has sentencing scheduled in September for his felony convictions, though I don't have a clue what that will be or what appeal timeline and whatnot looks like.

It's frustrating to see all of this move so slowly. I know these things take time, but it feels like there was no urgency in 2021 when he left office to deal with the election interference and numerous, publicly known, criminal acts.

Weird hill to die on...

If people want this to be acted on, then Dems need to win.

Oh, absolutely.

Both to campaign on and to act on, unfortunately.

I think there's a big difference between them making the small (but good) progress with legislation they've done this term compared to making climate a part of their campaign and bringing it up all the time. Idiots on the right will attack opponents on anything, but currently, I imagine most of the population is put off by the "she's gonna ban ur meat and stove!!1" weirdos. Sometimes not engaging is the most effective way to keep bad arguments out of the public sphere.

It's just used as a way to count users per server, I believe. People who aren't commenting could be bots or just unused accounts.

Are power lines ever really insulated though? I'm Midwest US and have only seen them insulated when running from the poles to houses. Have never seen them insulated anywhere else.

Eh, I quit.

15 year user of Reddit. I helped mod a very small sub, but didn't do a whole lot mod-wise besides delete a few spam posts now and then when they popped up.

I don't have any current plans to go back and be a part of those communities for the time being, which sucks because there were a few great (obscure) ones that I'm not sure will migrate or be replaced in the short term.

But the thing about Reddit is that it's not a homogenous group of people. Sure, it fosters a lot of group think by amplifying the most popular opinion, but if a large chunk of people with one attitude leave, then loudest voices will be the next most popular opinion. Plus, there's so many casual users now too. Most of my friends were like, "Huh? Something's going on with Reddit?"

The whole thing feels similar to the whole Digg -> Reddit fiasco. Guess we'll see how things shake out though.

Yes, but it only works with the original client. Doesn't appear to work with OpenMW, yet, which is superior in many ways now.

I know everyone is different, but I've been sleeping better while Vyvanse is still in my system. I have a much harder time getting to sleep super late or trying to get back to sleep after getting woken up.

The interface on the Miyoo Mini (with OnionOS) is a lot smoother and more streamlined than anything with Android. I definitely like how easily you can switch between all your recently played games so quickly, regardless of system.

Android devices tend to be a bit more flexible/powerful with more emulator options, but the interface isn't as complete and more tweaking is needed. It's not perfect, but I'm enjoying Diajisho.

It seems pretty common to use a different Google account on your device than your main one. I only use it to access the Play store, then I disable all Google services until I need it again.

But there's really no right or wrong approach here, as long as you're playing games and enjoying it.

Let me know when the keel fails and the whole thing breaks in two.

I have no idea either. I'm guessing it's only an "issue" because Trump (and therefore Fox) won't stop talking about it.
