Remember that it’s not the popular vote that counts, it’s the electoral college, and current polling gives Trump a 2-in-3 chance of winning the college:

It is shocking that they waited this long.

Lemmy is a federation of servers. “Lemmy” is not one political group with one viewpoint. If you’re looking for different viewpoints, try different groups, or different servers.

In another comment you said this about the comments you read:

they’re made in bad faith

I don’t think this is true. I think that what you think is “bad faith” is actually “people who disagree with me”. So far, most users of Lemmy appear to trend politically left by American standards, but that’s only because American standards are so absurdly skewed to the right that it appears to stand out. By American standards, “truth” is left-wing.

Ask yourself what you’re actually looking for.

Why not use “triple” for three, which actually does mean three.

So, “yes”, but also no. You’ll lose the calibration panel for your display, and the result will probably be unwatchable.

You’re much better off buying a display which is un-smart to start with. These are often called “commercial displays”. Or of course you could just buy a monitor.

Apple TV boxes have no ads.

I know everyone here hates Apple, but, there it is.

The deal Microsoft does with OEMs gives them a discount only if they pay Microsoft for every PC they sell, whether or not it actually comes with Windows.

Apple Music pays more than Spotify. It’s probably still not “decent”, but it’s more.

DoorDash “tips” are done before your food arrives, not after, and you can’t change them after you order.

They’re not tips, they’re bribes.

Am owner of 3-year-old model X. Can confirm. Build quality is shit, and service experience is worse. Will never buy another Tesla.

Sure! I’d be happy to.

The satellites operate in an extremely low orbit. At the end of their life they are manually de-orbited. If they fail, they will naturally de-orbit themselves in just a few years. They contribute to “space junk” in no way.

The precise position of all the Starlink satellites is known, and space is much bigger than you appear to be imagining, so the network will in no way impede lauching rockets.

There is no need to simply make stuff up about Starlink. There are plenty of reasons to hate Elon without inventing things.

This is a complete non story. They have a design life of only a few years. They have already been replaced in orbit with upgraded ones.

Total clickbait.

…says “analyst” that doesn’t know how many pre-orders Apple has taken.

So I guess this means KDE will stop working on Nvidia GPUs with the Nvidia drivers.

It’s not exactly a bug. It’s just that Linux is extremely verbose and often spits out debug messages for things that are not relevant to your system.

Coffee (and more specifically caffeine) is one of the most-tested food substances on the planet. Funnily enough, every time they test it, they find some new way that caffeine is actually good for you. It has all sorts of surprising benefits.

Obviously you shouldn’t be drinking a galloon of it a day, but in moderation, coffee is a very healthy drink. Served black it’s zero-calorie, zero-sugar, fights diabetes, lowers your weight, fights depression, prevents liver disease, and of course tastes good.

Coffee is amazing.
