Many of these things have continued under Biden.

At the hands of the SC, that was stacked by Trump.

Here you'll get to experience something that wasn't on Reddit -- far left bots and trolls!

same kind of search results as you always have.

Funny, I don't remember getting top news stories, preview links for videos, or images when I did a Google search in the early 2000s...

I think you mean SafeSearch > off.

Yes, you would pretty much be guaranteed to get a helping of porn no matter what.

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Analogous. Which the above commenter just explained why it isnt.

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

You're not going to take any action to make things better during those 4 years? Why not?

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Well, well, well. If it isn't the exact non-answer I was expecting to get from that question. (Albeit with more spelling mistakes)

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

I'm not from the US, smartypants.

So? You're snarkily commenting on the actions of a US citizen.

The fact remains that there's work to be done by the people and it will either happen under Biden or Trump.

One of those options is clearly more inhabitable than the other.

You being from another country and sowing political discord isn't the gotcha you think it is.

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

You were asking me what I was about to do in th coming 4 years, probably concerning US politics.

Yeah, shame on me for assuming you were commenting on something that mattered to you. Egg on my face for not recognizing that you're just cackling from the sidelines.

It's not about inhability. It's about a system that's in constant peril of sliding into fascism isn't worth defending.

Then you're either saying there's no way to fix that system (which is pointless and petulant). Or that there's work to do beyond voting to make those fixes (which, see my previous comment)

I'm not trying to do that.

Then frankly, it's not clear what you're actually trying to do. Whatever it is, its coming off as pointless and annoying at best and deliberately divisive at worst.

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Fancy, semantic way of getting right back to my point which was "this system bad > change to different system".

Is that clearer for you?

A product you were just talking about pops up in an online ad. How? Advertising algorithms are so good that they may know what you want even before you do. C...

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Nope. The amount of data required for constant recording and streaming of audio would be ridiculous and would show up in analysis.

The simpler answer is that the algorithms are getting scary good.

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

And if she's paired anyway with that person

This line right here is where it should be obvious how far this "analogy" has to be twisted to even start to become analogous.

Thanks for sharing this. I was absolutely shitting on Biden for this move, so I'm spreading this wherever I spread that.

Mea culpa for sure.

US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump)

Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I'm hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here... Just want to know what people are actually looking for.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

The problem is, not voting is as far as they'll actually go towards "not participating in that system". They still want all the benefits that they get from the system.

So it becomes less of a politically motivated action and more of just a tantrum.

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Bro, what the fuck are you talking about?

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

What do you mean "they can never deflect this"?

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Debunk why? Efficient at what?

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

What possible motivation would they have to do that when people keep buying the crap?

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

They didn't edit it and it still says that...

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

I've been looking into Ansible for exactly this reason.

Good to know its going to be an uphill battle.

I like it so much I have it on my KDE boxes too.

@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Recently, I was arguing with one, and they unironically suggested we'd be in a better position now if Trump had won in 2020.

Which is to say, I think you need to have one first in order to lose it.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

We want both of them out.

Reality check: one of them is going to be elected president in November. Your wants will not change that.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Which is, of course, the one and only metric to measure.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

I think you're right, its not Russians or bots. There really just that many myopic, real people on .ml

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

If you're right and Trump is going to successfully end electoral politics

Funny, I don't recall saying that anywhere...

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Interesting take -- walk me through the reasoning there.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Sure. Or with any attitude.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Pro-Palestine protests, of course, being the only form of organization.

null , (edited )
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

So, to be clear:

  • Donjuanme suggested that the reason they and Jaderick were downvoted was because of Russian intervention

  • Linkerbaan mocked that suggestion

  • I proposed that it wasn't Russians or bots, merely myopic .ml users (such as yourself) who did the downvoting

  • You've come along and suggested that those .ml users who did that downvoting are myopic liberals invading leftist spaces

Is that really what you think of yourself?

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

What are you gonna do

Continue to shame you for ignoring reality and advocating for Worse to spite Bad.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

And naturally, with non-peaceful protest being the only form of organization, since both potential administrations will treat that issue equally, the logical option is to hand it to the one who will also do plenty more terrible things on top of it.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Repugs and Dems aren’t the only candidates on the ballot

They are the only candidates that will win under FPTP

thankfully I can vote for someone who has policy positions much more aligned with my interests

Yup, you can virtue signal all you like. That's freedom, baby!

Or vote for more genocide, it’s your choice.

Nah, I'll stick to advocating against genocide++

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

If we're subbing in things to replace reality, you can do a lot better than that.

Doesn't really address the issue at hand, though.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

I'm not surprised you think sharing a mediocre fantasy addresses the issue at hand.

Just disappointed.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Both-sidesers sidestepping that second question.

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Hey, thanks!

null ,
@null@slrpnk.net avatar

Well, I certainly never accused you of having the intelligence required to follow a thread that's a whole 5 tiers deep. So that checks out.

If you want to accuse yourself of being a myopic liberal, you go right ahead, champ!
