Legal eagle on YouTube and nebula has a recent video on this very subject. Short form? It’s over.

Vote as if there weren’t two full sets of electors insulating you from the actual outcome.

Funny thing is, I did neither of those things the last time I had need to install; the script handled it for me.

Pretty slim pickings there, but I can’t especially disagree. The point of the question really was to allow the poster to explain a very specific implication they made.

Yep. And I’m not against going to basic lynx when needed. But the person I responded to made a very specific implication, and I’d like their opinion.

Allow me to expand my point. If you are using a computing device of any type, you are using the fruits of the labor of IBM, Xerox, and AT&t from the 1950s and 1960s. That means, by your argument, you are glorifying racism, homophobia, sexual assault and xenophobia among other things. You should definitely get off the internet.

What do non-trumpets but still privacy focused people in your circles use?

I might suggest getting off the internet and finding a completely self-sufficient lifestyle then. I guarantee you there are people that you would disagree with in person, in every supply chain.

It’s not technically an arrest. In a high-stakes call, the police will typically detain everybody until they can figure out what’s going on. That means potential victims as well as potential attackers. It’s a safety measure.

Just a thought… How likely are you to grow the community when six of the top 10 active posts right now are in some way complaints about Lemmy? In other words, is this a pro-vegan community or is this an anti-Lemmy community?

For the record, I am perfectly happy to get my vegan content elsewhere- ban away.

Since my votes for the presidential race are insulated from the vote count via electors in both the primary and national elections, I choose not to cast a vote for any loudmouth figurehead. Instead, I concentrate my energy on elections that affect my daily life; i.e. local and State races, including Senate and House of Representative races.

Take your “throwing away your vote” and stuff it in the nearest biological ballot box.

Things must be getting really bad if the president needs a second job…

Moved to pixel from HTC for the fast software updates. My next phone will likely be a pine phone or something similar; build quality on my last two pixels hasn’t exactly been up to snuff.

SHOCKING NEWS: Politicians lie, even to one another.

It is absolutely the way it works on Reddit. Go into any subreddit and say something factual but unpopular and watch what happens to the vote count.

Not understanding that upvotes are popularity driven might be the first error.

Make your posts, ask your questions, and move on. If people are interested it’ll get traction. If they’re not, expect apathy or downvotes. Just the way it works.

Talking heads and a failing education system.

My company went remote first in April 2020. Even if I left here, there’s no way in hell I’m going back to an office.

He must have just learned that men played women’s parts in the past and didn’t want to support all that “woke” stuff.
