What people don’t seem to understand is that he sincerely believes that every other politician is as corrupt as he is, and is genuinely confused why the DOJ can’t find any evidence to indict Hillary or Biden.
This is clearly the trend for Reddit- posts in general interest subs are frequently reposts by bots and commented on by bots that are karma farming so that they can post and upvote these scams.
The scary thing is that this would be easier to accomplish on Lemmy, we just aren’t big enough to be worth their time yet.
They are probably talking about using it to share CSAM or other illegal content. They need one person to login to be not anonymous so they can give it to the authorities if necessary.
My biggest issue with polls is that the media tout them as predictions, ignoring the fact that even if the data is 100% valid, circumstances can change dramatically in just a couple of days.
I maintain that polls are not actionable data for voters. They can help campaigns see trends and gauge the effectiveness of messaging, but they are useless to voters.
9/6 is the PS5 date. Still no word from Larian on the Mac date - the last I heard was when they originally announced it would be delayed, and that they didn't want to give a date and not meet it. What worries me is that they are willing to give these other dates - PS5 & Xbox - but not even a window for Mac.
They were touted as having their engine running on Metal, and it was one of the first major apps to port to Apple Silicon. The early access worked fine. Unless there was something in the later acts that really broke performance, I can't see why they didn't go ahead and release with the engine they had.
Might be nice if they’d even comment on the Mac version which they supported from day one, but then went silent (beyond saying it was delayed) when it was time for release.
Why are people obsessed with communities having the same domain name as their login? How do you expect these communities to deal with moderation and admin policies?
Here are some ideas for solutions to the real issues:
Add smart cross posting like on Reddit where interacting with a cross post happens on the community where it was created.
Develop mesh federation instead of a star topography. There would still only be one community with a unique name, but instances could share changes between each other, not just with the host.
Provide a true cross instance community search that is integrated in the primary UI. It would need to provide better metrics for like-named communities so that users can make an informed choice.
Admins need to stop land-grab communities. There needs to be a commitment to moderating, maintaining and growing the community. They could start by purging Reddit general interest knock-offs with fewer than 10 subscribers.
Add support for instance relative links not only to communities, but comments and posts.
In general, I think user focused instances should be separate from community focused instances, but that’s a different rant
If there is a predictable algorithm, it can and will be gamed by a bot.
The closest I’ve seen for control of voting is Slashdot: each person gets a limited number of mod points (votes) on a semi random basis. Then there is a meta moderation queue where a second group of semi randomly selected people vote on whether a given set of votes were sensible. If too many meta mods disagree with you, you don’t get as many mod points.
The biggest problem with that system is that it amplifies groupthink.
Not clear. I searched and cannot find any reference to this program. I’m going to guess they do bonds in-house, and this is the standard fee. Otherwise it would undermine the bail set by the judge.
