Yes. For all the problems Dems have with marketing themselves, Biden is getting a lot of stuff done. People rag on his age, but with age comes experience - he's been doing Washington politics for a half-century.

I'm voting for Dark Brandon! He gets shit done!

Oh that facial expression is priceless!

Sounds about right, so usually when uBlock Origin is "acting up", one possible reason is because a website changed its code, possibly specifically to defeat ad-blockers.

So, the usual first response is to go into the options and update all the filter lists.

Me too! The mojo is back!

Take my money, dammit!

Of course he's brain damaged, this is the kind of political discourse that comes from a.guy who gets kicked in the head for fun.

Who gives a fuck what the Kool-Aid drinkers think?

That and Biden still jogs and bikes. Trump has a hard time shuffling down a ramp.

Speaking of federation: How do we get at it here in Lemmy land?

No, this is what they should be doing. It's the difference between owning your house and renting. They get to make the rules on their instance, they're not at the mercy of a tech bro company or a trash billionaire that might have a political agenda against actual journalism...

After what happened to the BBC and NPR on Twitter, who can blame them for saying "Fine, we'll do it ourselves!"

Some of it is the Disneyfication that goes with the enshittification at the Old Place. In pursuit of the Holy IPO, they banned a lot of that stuff. Some for good reason (child porn, toxic disinformation...), and some for not so good reasons (banning or NSFW-ing weed subs.)

Also happened at Tumblr (which killed it) and Youtube, which makes it incredibly hard on content creators as they get strikes on their account at the drop of a hat for petty bullshit. When a business goes big, and the suit-and-tie caste hear the siren song of stock options, all of the sudden they'll start Big-Brothering everyone on the platform so some Wall Street boomer doesn't publicly lose his shit and cause the share prices to tank.

This kind of Shadow?

Yep, all of the sudden they're worried! Someone must've found Mitch's horcruxes!

I predict a significant number would get bored when Trump either dies or ends up in prison, and can't get his face in front of news cameras nearly so easily.

I know right? Everyone keeps calling him a mob boss, but I'd say he's more the mob boss who's so fucking stupid, he doesn't know not to say the quiet part out loud.

The only occupation that could be worse would be a spy that's too stupid to know not to say the quiet part out loud, so let's be glad Trump wasn't charged with... Ooooooh....

I thought at first that's what this was - one of those stupid Jesus tracts that look like a $20, because apparently, SaViNg YoUr SoUl Is ThE bEsT tIp Of AlL!1!

Very cool! Can you add this to the list o' themes in the settings please?

And despite security recommendations, too many IT depts still force password resets every 90 days...

And people confronted with this change their password from "p@55w0rd!1" to "p@55w0rd@2". Yep extra-secure!

Hmmm. For rule 4, please make sure there's leeway for site-altered headlines.

And maybe a rule against bad-faith participation, just as a catch-all for dealing with trolls, sockpuppets, bots, purveyors of disinformation...

Another idea: have a rule that says "No disinformation or propaganda", to frame things slightly differently.
