Lol, I voted like 4 years ago.

(And earlier today)

The new House isn’t sworn in until January 3… By the time we get to January 6, the electors are supposed to have voted. December 11 is the deadline for appointing electors, December 25 the deadline for voting. Mike Johnson will still be in charge on both of those days.

Since we’re not playing by the rules anymore, could the new house speaker (assuming Democratic majority) just extend/accept things on Jan 3rd?

Since we’ll know that sooner they would just need to signal that they intend to accept late appointments and voting.

I suppose that too would go to the Supreme Court, but it seems worth trying.

Like, how the fuck is this even a close election?

Accelerationism. That’s how I… understand? interpret? rationalize? it.

If you think things are shit, which is an understandable view depending on the “things”, and you don’t see that changing, you just say “fuck it”. Now if someone calls your candidate “crazy” or “unhinged” you just go, “Of course, that’s what I want”.

Add to that, no one who supports accelerationism thinks it will affect them. A crazy new world will fix their world and only hurt the “bad people”.

And I say all this knowing that it doesn’t really make sense.

Diablo 2 also had an expansion… and balance patches… But I agree.

Sure, but my first month of Lemmy was via the web. I still use Mastodon on the web (no app). Whenever I find myself on Reddit (via search) it’s web only. If someone sends me a random YouTube link, I open it in the web. On the off chance someone sends me a random TikTok link, web only.

Again I don’t use any of these apps, but if someone sends me a loops link and it says install the app, I’ll just ignore it.

Honestly that’s great news, but wouldn’t a web version have made wayyyyyyy more sense?

So far, there is only some user settings accessible in the web interface. I don’t have an iPhone, hence I cannot say for their app. The android app will come later, apparently.

I don’t give a shit about TikTok or short form video but legitimately how is this expected to succeed with these limitations? Clearly people like this stuff but can a fediverse service really afford to be iPhone only? This truly seems doomed to fail.

We’re also a sit outside house. Luckily October is pretty warm nowadays (wait…)

Even if he thought he was going to win by a landslide he’d still be doing this. The goal is to sow doubt in the elections. Only HE is the source of TRUTH, everything else must be a lie.

What are the downsides to becoming a state?

we can get random experts chiming in about interesting topics

Lol we have that now… just be sure to phrase your question in the form of a Linux distro.

But to be serious I do think we’re heading that way, but it’s going to take a long time, likely as long as it took Reddit (if not longer).

I have no way to put this gently: I cannot conclusively determine which one is more secure.

That’s the only conclusion I would have trusted. Otherwise you should have been awarded the tech equivalent of a Nobel Prize.

Security (and privacy) is not a zero sum game. That isn’t to say we shouldn’t discuss it. That isn’t to say we can’t point out clear advantages.

In any case, I appreciate the write up.

And as a brief note of positivity,

Given the past few years… it’s on mine.

It’s fatigue. If there were a turd-based fireworks show outside your house every night, eventually you just have to ignore it.

At first, exploding turds, I kinda want to see that. Eventually everything is covered in shit. That’s sort of a problem. A few folks try to clean it up, but it’s A LOT of shit. Your house is covered in shit. Your car is covered in shit. You go to the car wash and things improve… But your car is covered in shit again pretty quickly, so that felt like a waste.

Then someone asks you about that one time when a bunch of people broke into a building and let off shit fireworks everywhere. Sure that was new, but the nightly turd extravaganza still went off just the same. Plus the turd fireworks are always being set off in new and unusual places. I can’t be expected to remember them all.

The article we’re talking about?

Those dropped from the maintainer list

I think it’s worth highlighting the other half of the video, wild speculation and misinformation.

It’s important to keep in mind, both when posting anything online and reading anything online. It’s easy to see something inflammatory online, assume it’s true and move on. Obviously there are trolls posting ragebait, but sometimes it’s a misunderstanding posted without malice.

As always, kudos to Hank Green for rambling such coherent thoughts.
