Agreed, specific issues a lot of people lean all over the place and I think more people are realizing we need social programs.

There’s a lot of issues with our shitty 2 party system. No doubt.

But I think you (and a lot of folks on lemmy) are vastly over estimating how liberal most Americans are. The country as a whole is fairly moderate (and compared to the international world, pretty conservative), and when both parties allow themselves to be controlled by the fringe edges (right or left), most Americans will lean away from the party unless they’re a brainwashed group of idiots without the ability to critically think… And those type of folks already have their orange champion.

Abstaining from voting is only going to help one group of people, and unless you enjoyed Jan 6th, that isn’t ok. I agree whole heartedly that this situation sucks. We’ve got a wanna be dictator with a real shot at the presidency and our only other choice is Joe Biden.

But there’s only been one president in the history of the country that has promoted and pushed for an overthrow of democracy, I’d vote for anyone running against him to prevent that shit from happening again. Meanwhile I’m voting for any representative and senator or local politicians who work towards a ranked voting solution. But if you abstain then you’re helping Trump get elected, you’re absolutely stupid if you think the 2 are the same, Biden is not my ideal candidate by any means, but at least he isn’t actively trying to destroy our country or literally offering to sell our future to big oil.

Yeah, well they should keep it up. If they can prove in a US court that a “website is bad” they can make the same argument in the jurisdiction the website is hosted in, the Internet is great because it’s not (mostly) stuck under a single country’s thumb

If it’s that big a deal go after the service providers for the servers, this type of shit just makes inhibiting free speech easier.

If I don’t want people using Truth Social I guess making a bunch of accounts to share torrent links would be enough to shut it down?

The MPAA still has never been able to demonstrate that privacy even has actual impacts on movie and ticket sales… When Netflix was super convenient and had a lot of content piracy went down. Turns out splitting to dozens of streaming services made it difficult enough that people just went back to sailing the high seas. So lower your prices, make it more convenient to pay for services and people will just do that instead.

Wish I could be a fly on the walk when the bad actor realized years of work has just gone down the drain

Sure! I can see a bit of overlap there. I imagine it’s more an alternative to the modded GB side just due to cost similarities, compatibility, etc. But like I said, I’m just glad more people are releasing products

That stupid click bait title.

I like the Analogue Pocket, I think this FPGBA sounds like a fun project but man they are very different products. The way I see it, the more FPGA emulators out there then the more likely more/better cores get created.

Retrotink 5x is awesome so far

Today I Learned

Curious about how the cabal can be a dog whistle. Can you enlighten me? The wiki article didn’t help. Though learning the etymology was cool.

Didn’t recognize that name at all. After reading his wiki I recognized that he was one of the Georgia run-off Senate races. Maybe he’ll do some stuff and gain some popularity in the future. From what I saw in wiki the only thing he has done so far is vote with the party and help get a college re-accredidated. The reason his campaign was somhighly funded was because he was running in one of the most contested races in the country that was flooded with cash from all over.

I’m very glad he won, but also would someone who barely won their district really be a great possible push for a national candidate?

Also, “not a huge supporter” and have now posted him as a name/possibility all over the thread lol… You campaign for him? Are you him?

Yeah, not what we want to be supporting. The Posse Comitatus act is there for a reason. I’d rather we don’t start supporting use of the federal military as law enforcement.

And I hate to say it, but pretty sure the reason they haven’t been activated federally is because they’re worried calling that bluff might not work out well and escalate the confrontation, potentially leading to something worse.

Frankly this is awful. But also something manufactured to sound a lot worse. From a states rights perspective this isn’t that different from states legalizing marijuana while it’s federally controlled and illegal.

Great read! Very interesting.

I still think it was silly to have reintroduction of wolves up to a popular vote instead of leaving it up to the professionals. But it happened, I’m curious to see how far their range goes, the ones in WA go all over.

My problem with this study has always been that it takes place in Yellowstone. A huge area that is super controlled and significantly different from the rest of the country.

I think blindly believing we’ll see the same results everywhere we throw wolves is wishful thinking.

Guess we’ll see how it plays out. As a hunter I’m not thrilled to have more competition for elk and deer, but it’s always been (and should be) predators get first dibs on wildlife. What I want is to see the reintroduction and revitalization of the buffalo. You know how cool it’d be to see giant herds of bison roaming all over the wild?

This article just reads as an ad for the scanning company.

Also, while it’s possibly true, it’s based off seriously small sample sizes.

Super broad generalization, yes.

That’s one of the biggest things valve has contributed to for the Linux community, unshitifying gaming on Linux. Proton does an amazingly good job at working on most games. And steam does a great job of making it easier to use proton.

Now there are always a few problem games, mainly ones that use some crazy kernel level anti-cheat (that doesn’t work anyways). But if you’re curious look at https://www.protondb.com/

I mean that is slightly better. Still a waste of money. Get enhanced autopilot and leave it there.

Forget the obvious bullshit that is being unable to sell it. What’s this about autopilot/FSD not being transferable?

Who the hell would buy this monstrosity of a truck. Be sure not to buy FSD since it will be a lost cost and never recouped for a capability that really doesn’t work yet. $12,000 down the drain.

Why should a company get to use my work and data for free to train their AI, for which they’ll make a ton of money, without compensating me. At a minimum they should be informing me so I can make that choice with full knowledge.

This isn’t a university or educational research either, this is one of the largest companies in the world with Billions of dollars in annual revenue. And to top it off, I already have to pay them for their operating system and annually for their office suite. So not only am I paying them for their product, they’ll then steal my data to train an AI to try and sell that to us too?

That’s not even taking into account any concerns with “AI might replace me at my job” that a number of folks have.
