Clickbait works. If that’s what it takes to get promoted in the algorithm and compete with the right-wing garbage, then so be it. It’s better than the right-wing garage being presented unopposed.

They’re basically the modern version of radio shows and can be nearly anything. A lot of them are just interview or current event shows. Public radio puts out a lot of good news and educational ones. My personal favorites are comedians playing Dungeons & Dragons (The Adventure Zone, Not Another D&D Podcast). They end up being part collaborative storytelling and part improv comedy, with the dice introducing enough chaos to keep it interesting.

Podcasts are an open standard (they’re just an RSS feed with audio files attached), so there’s tons of different phone apps that can play them.

The total eclipse. I was lucky enough to live in the path of last year’s. I now understand why people are willing to travel across the world just to experience something that only lasts a few minutes.

And China is by far the biggest source of it.

That and Trump got on Putin’s bad side by attacking Iran.

That and he sabotaged Jesse Ventura’s attempt to unionize wrestling to get more money for himself. Given how incredibly abusive the company is to its performers, that’s not a small thing.

2008 was Bush. Obama didn’t take office until 2009.

Nah, he’ll promise her a pardon or Supreme Court ruling in her favor in exchange for lying.

Apple’s entire software design philosophy is god-awful. There’s only one way to do things and if you don’t like “The Apple Way”, fuck you. “It just works” only works for very basic normie stuff. If you try to do anything advanced, it most likely won’t work and it’ll give zero feedback as to why.

That only applies to shut down. Restart will always do a proper reboot.

It’s pretty easy to know if you’ve spent a lot of time looking into a topic or not. If your knowledge consists of watching a YouTube video from a non-expert or picking things up passively, it’s probably better to stay quiet.

Lemmy has 100k users and, more importantly, almost zero countermeasures against botting and influence ops. It would not be some huge undertaking to target this place.

Then please enlighten me. How do you think the DNC is run? What do you think the DNC actually does? (hint: it’s a lot less than the conspiracy theorists think)

What about it? Even if every single “irregularity” had been a vote for Bernie (they weren’t), he still would have lost. And if we had held some of those lower level positions, it wouldn’t have been able to happen.

The Democratic party is composed of people. If you replace all the people, it will be a new institution. It does not matter what it was previously.

Oh bullshit. Every bit of the Democratic Party is open to elections, including the DNC. Every one of those odious officials can be replaced. Reforming it won’t happen because progressives are lazy and feckless and don’t get involved in their local and state parties or vote in primaries and local elections.

I watched his Apple show a few times and the monologues were absolutely dreadful. He’s a great presenter, but he really needs a good writing room behind him.

Azure is a very close second behind AWS and has nearly twice the market share of GCP in 3rd place.

I think the more useful tactic is to undermine the right-wing propaganda machine. We’ve known Trump was a pedo for years. Why did Fox and all of them hide that information and cover for him? What else are they lying about?

Modern facial recognition cameras project a grid of infrared dots on your face and use the distortion of them to sense the depth and contours of your face. You’d have to 3d print a head to defeat it.

That said, Reddit is probably doing the bare minimum to comply with the law and will probably just use an uploaded 2d image.
