That's rich coming from the guy whose entire platform is one big political bias against free speech. Seems like Musk's whole outlook is "I'm going to move people to a colder planet where nothing grows and we can't even breathe, so why should I worry about trashing this one?"

Also, when is his daddy going to teach him how to shave?

Did you know that, by default, your email sends information to mailing list platforms about your reading activity? The platform gets to know if you opened the message, and often how far along you've read in it.

What is this shitty email program they're talking about? Sure, they can embed a 1-pixel tracking image to see when you opened the email (if you allow auto-loading images), but how would they know how much you've read unless some incredibly horrible email program actively sends out that data?

What's wrong with Thunderbird? Surely you don't use Outlook by choice?

Voting third-party could lead to Trump winning. He has already stated he will cut all support to Ukraine, which also leads to genocide, not to mention what he is threatening to do to everyone of color here at home. Face it, no matter how you vote, you're going to be a party to genocide. The only available option is to vote in favor of the least amount of damage being threatened by all parties. Yes, even Jill Stein is a problem here because her stated purpose is to spoil the Democrat vote (which leads me to distrust her "concerns" over Gaza even if she does have a history of voting against Israel).

Besides which, if you're a US citizen then you've been a party to genocide your entire life, between our direct interference in the elections of other countries, to straight-up installing leaders of our choice, to simply withholding aid to civilians because our government didn't want to step on any toes. You're living the good life because our nation kills people for profit, so don't pretend like you're not already a party to it.

Anyone else think that's kinda... weird?

This always cracks me up. He's mad about big tech censoring political information, but wants HIS political information censored. Probably not even bright enough to realize how pathetic he sounds.

Agreed that we don't know unless he's given the chance to try something, but it's not exactly something I'd like to "fuck around and find out". There have been a lot of reports from people who were on his team during his last term that are talking about how he was talked down from extreme actions, and this time his people already know what they're getting in to and are ok with it. I can only hope Harris can be better than Biden, but we do know Trump was willing to let his own nation (California) burn just because they didn't all vote for him.

Trump stated earlier this year that if re-elected, he would ask Israel to make the Gaza issue "go away" in under a week. It's one thing to be supplying the weapons, but quite another to have the most powerful country give their approval to do whatever it takes to end the conflict to Israel's benefit. There was a Palestinian newspaper article I saw a couple months ago that gave the opinion that under Harris they would get bombed, but under Trump they would cease to exist. Of course when I linked that in a similar discussion I was accused a picking my sources, because hey what does a Palestinian newspaper know about Palestine?

Really now? So you're just going to pretend that the current issue is completely the fault of the Biden administration? You're going to pretend that Republicans aren't also sitting in Congress continually voting in favor of these funds and weapons? And you're going to pretend that Trump hasn't already pledged to make things so much worse?

Your only goal here is to constantly point out that Biden is doing bad things and convince others to not vote for Harris. Which means your goal is to convince voters to vote in support of Trump, or not vote at all which still provides a boost for Trump. You pretend that you care about what is happening to Palestinians and yet your thinly-veiled goal is to support a candidate who wants to makes things MUCH worse for their whole country. You argue that anyone who doesn't see things your way is arguing in favor of genocide and keep trying to convince others that I have no interest in discussing the subject, yet here I am time after time directly discussing what the future could hold, but you yourself refuse to engage with anyone that won't go along with your strategy to make Harris look like the worst choice possible. Yeah the current US policy is really bad, I've never once denied that. Maybe you should stop denying that allowing Trump back in office would be by his own words much much worse. An actual discussion means talking about both options, not continually screaming the same thing like a broken record while ignoring what the alternative could bring.

Don't be dense, both teams are bad.

Until we get some kind of ranked-choice voting or another solution that allows people to make honest choices, then yes, the system is working exactly as they intended.

Deflection rather than acknowledging that one candidate is a blood-thirsty psychopath who sees an entire population as nothing more than a problem he wants to go away? Yeah I'm not the one who has a problem with reality.

So then you agree that Trump deserves to lose too? He's already stated that if re-elected he expects Israel to make the Gaza problem "go away" within a week.

Nice, I hadn't heard of this one!

If you want to do it right, try to get a static IP (you may need to get a business account). If your provider doesn't provide IPv6 to static IPs, go to some place like Hurricane Electric and get a free IPv6 range pointed to your IPv4 static address.

Alternatively, you might do a search for any DDNS services that provide IPv6 (I'm not sure if any do?), then that service will fllow your residential address when it changes. Either way I think you'll have some additional costs you need to weigh against your current hosting provider.

Seems like that would be an easy problem to solve... require all edits to have a peer review by someone with a minimum credibility before they go live. I can understand when Wikipedia was new, allowing anyone to post edits or new content helped them get going. But now? Why do they still allow any random person to post edits without a minimal amount of verification? Sure it self-corrects given enough time, but meanwhile what happens to all the people looking for factual information and finding trash?

I'm in Colorado at 40°. We couldn't see it with the naked eye, but you could sure see the colors with night mode on your cell phone. It lasted around 45 minutes here and by the time I went to grab my real camera it was already over. At least I know now that my phone can 'see' them even when I can't.

Wonderful, and yet I'm not surprised...

I still don't know why anyone USES linkedin. It was a shit company built by hacking Windows and sending out emails in other people's names to try to build their user base. The fact that Microsoft actually bought the company that hacked their operating system just shows how little moral value is present in any of this.

MAGA has been threatening to riot if Trump doesn't win because they're anti-democracy. They've had four year to plan since their last failed insurrection and if things go bad, it's going to get ugly real fast. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
