yeah but it will go to the supreme court and we all know how much they love the current administration.

yep was going to say kbin if you like old.reddit lemmy if you like new.

I explain the fediverse a bit like all those “local” newspaper websites (that have names like Chathamgazette.org or GainsvilleAdvertiser.com or ChanningtownTimes.net), that in actual fact share 90% of the content on articles (usually all articles written as adverts but that is not part of the analogy here). They have 10% local content that others could access then the pages are made up of material they all share.

yeah, I think that almost builds on my post not contradicts it. Someone may whip out a phone, go to the first result in google and say “there proves my point” without assessing the validity of the source.

In a similar vein have ever ready portal to all of human knowledge constantly in our pocket it has killed some avenue of debate in face to face social situations, like out at a bar. In the before time you could spend an entire evening debating which came first or who wrote some film, or which song sold most albums and the argument would not be settled by some whipping out a phone, googling and done.

There can be more than one threat… The bigger hypocrisy is banning good sex education from schools. The way kids are learning about sex and realationships from sites like PornHub is harmful to their future realationships and respect for each other…but these laws are not going to stop that

If I was the the maga or republicans right now I would fund as many leftist third parties as possible as the best way to secure a trump victory

Not even majority…just plurality trump lost the popular vote and the more you split it the less majority is needed (until ranked choice or runoffs is brought in). In the UK the current government holds absolute power on just 38% of the popular vote thanks to first past the post and constituency based representation.

In the current fptp system it has to be. Until ranked choice for president and proportional representation for the house then usually the left will shatter. The republic strongest point is they all vote under one big group even if they disagree internally. All splitting the vote will do is empower that “team”

And Donald trump will be better? He did more harm in his 4years than biden has in his

Yep their evidence shows the password sharing crackdown got them more subs overall and I’m sure they have checked this will work too. People forget the purpose is to make them money not provide entertainment to the masses.

I mean things like the travelling funnfair are still a thing, people die on travelling carnival rides every year…similar thing, thrill seeking dangerous shit

Yep reminds me of the sudden rush to adoptopenjdk when jre went stupid and were charging enterprise per instance, I hear they have changed back now

Yep, I was joking, I wish the Women’s World cup all the greatest success it deserves. Hopefully this can be taken as just a light joke it was meant in as know others may actually mean it more derogatory (I was in two minds if to post)

Not expecting many spectators then?

Except currently prigozhin is saying the was in Ukraine is an illegal one (to throw shade at Putin he didn’t care before) but still he is now trying to play down Ukraine not up

Except the new guy will be worse than the last

Yep, some point in last few years I went from looking forward to orange envelope to show someone had engaged with my comment to “now what have I said wrong” to outright ignore my.inbox and just shout into the wind like a crazy old man

I saw a YouTube video (sorry can’t find the link now) on using hidden weighting to allow exam markers to detect ai. It was things like words with many synonyms always picking the third most popular or somthing so that over a 3 page essay if you happened to use the lightly off weighting on word choice the anti cheating software would pick up on it. The chances of a human weighing themselves that way would be rare as they would tend to work to one of its patterns where as AI was forced to use a few different patterns but in a deterministic way.

I thought they said only about 3% of users use the apps.
