He's one of the richest yet divisive billionaires in the world who is putting his foot in the door in regards to social network, electric cars, and space travel, what did you expect? "I want to know about technology, but I also want to ignore this huge elephant in the room shitting on me."

What's stopping people from applying to his "lottery" and just not voting Trump?

It has been growing, but it depends on the community the people who are submitting posts of each community. It also depends on the engagement of the discussion and whether participation decays or is allowed to decay into toxicity.

I think Lemmy could be doing a lot more than Reddit, like showing who votes what, but people want the ability without the responsibility or transparency. It's ironic because not only is it perfectly visible to the admins, but there are ways you can get a pretty good idea of who's performing them as a normal . It would help not just in the sense of getting a better idea of why or where someone is coming from and prevent false suspicions, but it would also allow you to keep different groups of users whose recommendations might be something you would like to prioritize over other submissions or whose moderation you'd like to favor over the standard. Abusing the transparency would be easy to denounce and moderate, too.

In regards to the modlog, I don't think it's doing enough, the text in the reason field might as well be "word" and the transparency isn't compensating for the lack of a resolution process that many if not all social networks seem to want to skip. There are still things like no notification of mod actions that affected your comments or your user, and some decisions, like allowing mods to ban you, remove some of your comments while allowing others to remain, shaping or serving a narrative without giving you the ability to delete or edit your contributions while the ban is in place, give foreign instances and communities more power than they should have.

There's no way to contest modlog actions within the modlog, and the maturity of the people has been proven to be very, very questionable when they've been outed. It has also adopted reddit's policy of obfuscating the moderator performing an action even though creating an alt is easier than ever and many of them already have them, which works against the supposed commitment to transparency.

But it's very slightly better than reddit's, and there's nothing like shadow bans here. Parting observations, don't feed your carnivore pet vegetables if you aren't prepared to go all the way to seek and get an approved diet and dietary supplements for a bonafide veterinary, and it's funny seeing all the anarchy people not have a problem with the present power imbalance between the users and the leadership within the current system, but then again, they have a nice instance with the label.

Overall, fuck spez.

Tucker Carlson is the wonder spy Russians dream of eventually sneaking into the US presidency. Donald Trump is just the first step and likely too incompetent to serve their interests well. Frankly, I am surprised he was not Donald Trump's pick for vicepresident.

What do you use your phone for then?

No, wait, I don't want to know.

He was talking about his supreme court appointees and how long they would last since it's a lifetime appointment and he put them in young. Merit and seniority never crossed his mind, only opportunistic gaming. He probably wouldn't be bragging about it if supreme court appointees were only four year appointments.

The problem with dystopias is that they usually focus on taking one line of thought to the extreme while we are moving down multiple ones.

Do you know what secular means? Google it, then tell me. Tell me while you sport a religiously obsessed username.

Online games are different because you control the hosting and the service has much higher upkeep. Don't try to apply the same shenanigans to single player games. Also pissed me / pisses me off that they started doing this Borderlands 2+

But then they say,

Despite the massive backlash and more than a decade of memes, Horse Armour DLC’s popularity was proven by the wallets of gamers. While Bethesda was being flamed for releasing the paid content, the numbers don’t lie, and gamers were actually very interested in paying for the DLC

Their main market focus is on whales now. They make it very clear, they see the Horse Armor DLC as a success story.

I don't know how people there are like me, but I have forked over a lot on TES:O that I will no longer ever fork over again, and I regret having fueled their foray into single player. I will not preorder TES6, and I will have to wait for discounts to begin applying to their new franchises. As someone who was deep into TES lore, I will no longer care about TES6's monetization or their attempts to tie into and guide players into TES:O.

But whales... Whales never change.

#ThatsThePoint

The problem is at the source of Abrahamic religions, so being only concerned about one particular subset says a lot.

Say what you will about him, but he still links to the videos he reacts to, allowing me to immediately click on them if a recommendation for his reactions ever pop up. I think our monkey brains still try to look to see the reactions from the group (hence karma scores) to determine how to approach a topic, and they fill in the void that is absent in streaming platforms. So now, we have more personality cults than ever before and the hidden agendas that try to subvert them to their interests (Cambridge Analytica, now Emerdata, only one example because only they were brought to court).

Still, opinions aside, reaction videos should be forced to share revenue with the original content creator. And if its supposed to be criticism, they should learn how to do it without reaction videos. Only the platform can really begin to do this.

Oh, wait, they have genocide built into their religious books now, do they now?

"From the cities of these peoples which YHWH your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not let anything that breathes remain alive. You shall surely annihilate them (haḥărēm taḥărîmēm) ... just as YHWH your God has commanded you so that they may not teach you to do any of the abominations that they do for their gods, and you thus sin against YHWH your God" Deuteronomy 20:16–17

Oh, yep, nevermind, I can see it, carry on.

So that's how he plans to make the economy better, to force his opposition to leave the country and appropriate their wealth and property. Who did Nazi that coming?

Some adults become like children when senility kicks in.

and democracy.

This is fucking disgusting, and a testament that Israel believes they have so much control over the narrative by Cambridge Analiticising the major social networks and their owners that they feel they can get away with it. If there's one thing I agree with Israel now, it's that the UN was certainly wrong - by choosing after WW2, to legitimize the Nazi Haavara Agreements on partitioning Mandatory Palestine and enabling the neocolonialism that became Israel hidden under the faint veil of religious superiority claims. What the persecuted minorities needed were their homes and their wealth back, not an appointed figurehead to lead them into colonialism 2.0.

If they are not rechargeable, they don't make sense, you just use them and throw them in the used up recycle pile. And if they are rechargeable, you already have a charger that does it.

All reality is perceived, and people's perception of reality can be stupid. Stupid perceptions lead to strong emotions based on stupid.

I'm not pirating, I'm merely copying data without involving license transfers and subscription platforms.

Unfortunately, what he says is influential because idiots, and it affects the rest of the world because US elections.
