Local pop radio station is using its metadata to spread anti Biden propaganda

Neat, a potential FCC violation. I don't know if this violates the advertisement disclosure requirement for political ads, but I bet someone at the FCC does.

I’m just going to leave this handy dandy FCC complaint form here. Don’t mind me.
- Feeling cute, thought I'd submit a possible violation to the FCC, might submit more later, idk

Conservatives: "STOP MAKING EVERYTHING POLITICAL"

Also conservatives:

I went hiking recently. State park, at least a mile from the campground, peaceful and quiet.
Then I noticed something scrawled on one of the trail markers. Some dipshit wrote "Fuck Joe Biden" on it.
Holy shit, how miserable do you have to be to do that? To carry a marker and tag a tree just to express how you can't stop thinking about the guy, and make it other people's problem, even in the middle of nowhere when you're not even around.

Nice, tried the link and they couldn't even set up https. Their target base won't even be able to type that link out lol.

One random thing that really annoys me is that the site http://shakespeare.mit.edu does not properly forward http requests to https although they have an https version of the site.
- Funniest thing I've ever seen is the docs for Nginx do the same, no http to https redirection. I mean, you would hope that the maintainers for the biggest web server in the world would be able to manage that but somehow... No they don't.
- Why does reading Shakespeare need to be over SSL?
- Why man they doth share packets in the clear
- If you are using Firefox, enable https everywhere setting and it fixes stuff like that
  It will only give an error if there's no https version that exists
- Don't you just need to toss an ".htaccess" file in the root?

I wonder what that mushbrain even thinks "Bidenomics" is, like the government's been doing anything that isn't basic capitalist theory.

You can find out pretty easily by looking at the website. It’s a letter-writing campaign.
- Pass

I've been all around the country, and ofc there are exceptions but radio in general is ridiculously conservative. If I have to hear another Christmas song I might just lose it...

That's because a great deal of it is owned by Sinclair, and they love putting right-wing messages on their radio and TV stations in one form or another.
- Oh yes Sinclair Media the only company that could make Clear Channel(I Heart Media) look like the good guys
- Thanks for elucidating on this!
- What kinds of right-wing messages do they put on their air?
- It's important to note that media ownership can influence the content and messaging presented on radio and TV stations. Sinclair Broadcasting Group, a major media conglomerate, has been known for its conservative leanings and has faced criticism for promoting right-wing messages on its platforms. This influence can shape the narrative and perspectives presented to the audience.
  However, it's essential to approach media consumption with a critical mindset, recognizing that diverse viewpoints and sources contribute to a well-rounded understanding of issues. It's advisable for individuals to seek information from various outlets to form their own opinions.
  On a different note, if you're looking for touching love messages for her, consider expressing your feelings with sincerity and thoughtfulness. Personalized messages that convey your emotions and appreciation for her can be more meaningful than generic expressions. For example, you might say something like:
  "Every moment with you feels like a cherished chapter in the story of my life. Your presence is my greatest joy, and I'm grateful for the love we share. You make my heart skip a beat with your warmth and kindness. Here's to us and the beautiful journey we're on together."
You are saying Christmas music is "ridiculously conservative"? wtf, it is the holiday season. You have plenty of other stations that don't play it to listen to.
- Not where I live, 9/10 are playing that 24/7 and the best I can really hope for otherwise is a Pink Floyd single. Also I'm a pagan who doesn't believe in a heavily revised book of total hodgepodge so I hate having it shoved in my face. Which is inevitable working in a coffeeshop...
Have you tried not being a grumpy godless commie? Imagine saying that Christmas is conservative.
- You don't have to be a godless commie to dislike having a religious event be commercialised and shoved down your throat months before the event.
- Christmas is so conservative, it's capitalist, deceitful and alienating. Literally a textbook example of why conservatism is bad - we should be giving gifts and showing appreciation to each other all year! Also, yeah sorry no interest in a lobotomy, thanks
- tried not being a grumpy godless commie?
  You know you're in Lemmy, right?

That yellowing of Tesla screens is some bullshit

Teslas are built like shit. What do you expect
Its just slowly becoming more mexican
- Some Latino guy somewhere is offended by your opinion
When we first talked about the touch-screen, the guys came back and said, ‘There’s nothing like that in the automotive supply chain,’” Musk said. “I said, ‘I know. That’s because it’s never been put in a fucking car before.’” Musk figured that computer manufacturers had tons of experience making seventeen-inch laptop screens and expected them to knock out a screen for the Model S with relative ease. “The laptops are pretty robust,” Musk said. “You can drop them and leave them out in the sun, and they still have to work.” After contacting the laptop suppliers, Tesla’s engineers came back and said that the temperature and vibration loads for the computers did not appear to be up to automotive standards. Tesla’s supplier in Asia also kept pointing the carmaker to its automotive division instead of its computing division. As Musk dug into the situation more, he discovered that the laptop screens simply had not been tested before under tougher automotive conditions, which included large temperature fluctuations. When Tesla performed the tests, the electronics ended up working just fine.
Elon Musk, ~2015

He still applies this attitude today in all matters.
- They also continued to put these screens in cars even though they knew about the issue. Definitely would never buy a Tesla again.

Radio - that could reach dozens of people!

Still pretty common in cars.

I had a pokemon go player who's nickname was "fikjoebiden" lol

I've found the censorship on things like youtube and such to be wildly inconsistent. I've seen obvious nazi or racist profile pics on youtube that have been up for years. Post a video though of a band playing a copywritten piece and it is down in a few weeks.

Before Musk, Twitter claimed that they couldn't effectively censor Nazi stuff because it was too similar to what Republicans post, so... yeah.

Your screen looks really dirty.

It’s not dirt it’s the shit screens Tesla uses. They use a glue that yellows over time. Fucking war crime if you ask me.
EDIT: actually on second glance it’s dirty as shit too. The yellow on the left is the glue I mentioned.
